[DC R1D3R]

Graphically. It looks a generation above Forza 5.

plus the 10 year waiting game...

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

C'mon.

DriveClub looks better but not an entire generation difference.

Only the people standing on the side of the track look an entire generation better.

 

[p3tran]

just saw this on my ps4 like 5 mins ago. did not expect a date at the end.

 

[Black Republican]

getting the free PS+ version.....finally!

 

[bombshell]

I think that's apples and oranges. I think their engine just wasn't ready at all. Single fucking car time trials, which couldn't even hold 30fps. Who knows if it's ready still. DC honestly is a pretty strange "next-gen" racer. 30fps. Doesn't have rain or snow effects. Doesn't have extensive car damage. Doesn't have proper crashes. In many ways it seems kind of old fashioned.

Uhm, maybe we should let them proper re-introduce the game and what they've worked on since November before concluding any of that.

 

[Inveterate Drinker]

There's no genre that day/night cycles benefits from a gameplay perspective more than racing games.

Vampire Simulator.

 

[Loudninja]

@adamdsloat You'll be seeing regular updates now from us with all these details.

[RoKKeR]

Also, is this game seriously coming the same week as Batman, Dragon Age, Alien Isolation, and Shadow of Morder?

Geez, not exactly doing this game any favors. Then again I suppose the main "selling" point is that it's free with PS+.

 

[Alchemist]

That trailer got me hyped.

 

[chrominance]

What on earth have they been spending all their time on? I mean, I'm nowhere near an expert on game development, but I played a damned demo of this last AUGUST. The driving model felt fine, the graphics looked fine. I can't imagine they've overhauled both of those things in the past year. So what was missing? What's the new thing they added or the things supposedly broken that had to be fixed? What could they have found that was so bad that Driveclub had to be pushed back at the last possible moment (like, basically gold master or fuck everything) for a whole year? And in such a way that heavily implies they didn't even know when the problem would be fixed until much closer to this release date re-announcement?

If we ever get to hear the story of this game's post-mortem, I want to read it. Maybe this is totally normal and expected, but from here it looks like something really bad happened and they're only now digging their way out of it.

EDIT: Finally got to watch the trailer. Unless the graphics have improved (and honestly who even knows, even if they look better what's a bullshot clip and what's real?), there's literally nothing new in the way of improvements or changes except the release date. Their vision of the game as we saw it last summer looks to be completely intact. So what changed?

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

I was half joking when I said I expected Christmas 2014 but it really is releasing in that time period.

Looks great as ever, but the game is six months away. I'll get more hyped closer to release. For now, there are a load of other games I'm looking forward to.

 

[Kacho]

A long delay and releasing the game when some of the heavy hitters start dropping. Hmm.

 

[foxbeldin]

https://twitter.com/Rushy33/status/461148698500935680

So... soon i guess?

 

[Broadbandito]

Day fucking one. God damn this looks beautiful. only 5 monthsish!

 

[rich7sena]

This game. It looks amazing. Worth the wait.

 

[ShadyJ]

Im excited to see how this turns out

 

[Dead Prince]

Tomorrow we will share a detailed update on development and answer as many questions as we can from you all. In the meantime let us know what you think of the new video and tag friends you’ll be driving with when you get your hands on DRIVECLUB later this year.

tomorrow. hope we get some new stuff.

 

[Ol No Bones]

It looks ok.

 

[cyberheater]

Going to be EXTREMELY disappointed if this isn't 60 fps.

You are going to be EXTREMELY disappointed then.

 

[orioto]

The amount of negativism lol.... The 60fps crowd is so old... It's like they actually think they are the first and only one to say that in a drive club thread, like it's relevant or something..

Anyway, there seems to be more things in the near background so it's been upgraded at least. I'm waiting for new ingame vids!

 

[Y2Kev]

I like how their update actually was Soony.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Vampire Simulator.

Werewolf simulator

 

[KOHIPEET]

Wait a second? This is how this game's gonna look like?

Holy fuck. I say it worth the wait.

 

[Tinzo]

goosebump, goosebump!
this with a t500rs. A man can only dream

 

[gundamkyoukai]

I meant playable to the public, not tiny-ass 5 second facebook videos.

While there not playable to the public , they were more than 5 secs facebook clips .

[dead monkey uk]

So then Sony's 2014 lineup would be a port of a 2013 PS3 game and a game that was supposed to be a 2013 launch game? Ouch. I really hope not, their lineup is kind of pathetic WITH the Order coming this year.

Do not think Sony will be too worried, they are selling every PS4 they ship. I think the PS4 will be fine this year with plenty of games coming to the system, even if the holiday line-up will mainly be multi platform.

 

[StevieP]

It's a Tuesday in US and Wednesday in EU , probably to work in with the store update days for PS+



Sony have been confident enough to show gameplay all year , see all the I:SS pre release stuff. Isn't Jett a troll account anyway ?

The infamous material was all super sampled as well. Don't always believe what you see/what you are told. Jett isn't a troll account

 

[nevernamed]

LOOKS DAMN GOOD!!!

 

[Pop]

I wouldn't even say it looks better at all, although it's still a great looking game, but the important part is it's finally back from the shadows. Hopefully we'll see even more of it before E3, I'm hoping for some actual gameplay videos with multiple AI opponents.

That's not how the game looks when playing, don't kid yourself.

This fall should be great.

 

[Broadbandito]

You are going to be EXTREMELY disappointed then.

source?

 

[Fersis]

I wonder how it looks during gameplay.

 

[Guymelef]

They release new images.
Original size are 8000 x 4500 lol.

 

[Tinzo]

Don't Forget Project Cars comes out in November for the PS4. A nice combo for a racing fan. Sim/Arcade ish and then a full sim one month apart. I am very excited for both.
(Click Picture To See The Trailer)

man, where am i gonna get the money!!!
i need a t500 too sins i sold my Fanatec csr.

 

[Shin-Ra]

Goddamn.

King of the Clouds is back.

(MSR - hah works two ways)

 

[Betta Lines]

If this is 60fps.... woah.

If not, it's still very impressive.

Now where's that Blim chap....

 

[fastballspecial]

That first week in October is going to slay wallets. I don't even know what to do.

 

[Markitron]

FROM MY POINT OF VIEW THE JEDI ARE EVIL

90% of the world disagrees

Also I love Revenge of the Sith but how Anakin hates the jedi for not making him a 'proper' master after he murdered children makes no sense, that line of dialogue never sat well with me

 

[Paganmoon]

I wouldn't be surprised if Uncharted was a 2016 May release with the changes made... might have added morpheus support. If they have a Driveclub demo at E3 with Morpheus... Mind blown then

How would a 3rd person game work with Morpheus or any VR system though?

 

[Wereroku]

The infamous material was all super sampled as well. Don't always believe what you see/what you are told. Jett isn't a troll account

Links to videos that were super sampled please. I want to see the difference between the ads and the game.

They release new images.
Original size are 8000 x 4500 lol.

Where are the new images posted? Checked the blog and didn't see them.

 

[jett]

While there not playable to the public , they were more than 5 secs facebook clips .
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqmSftch6sY

You're showing me several 5 second clips edited together, plus b-roll footage and a a trailer from last year. Okay?

 

[hawk2025]

The ridiculous, overblown, jaded reactions in this thread are really annoying me more than usual.


Probably best to just leave the thread and avoid getting into it altogether.

Looking forward to the game, and it will be added to Batman for that week

 

[Tinzo]

I wonder how it looks during gameplay.

 

[Systemwarrior]

I need an official car list!

 

[Appollowexx]

The Order won't be delayed, it's Sony's big game for Christmas. November is when i'd expect that to launch and will get a big marking push as it's their big next gen IP.

And it's hardly pathetic by any stretch. DriveClub, The Order and many exclusive PSN games plus the best versions of multi plats (which there are a lot of). I won't have time to play half of them!

The new trailer for DC looks great, not a big racer fan but if this is still lined up for Plus then i'll try it out and it's great to finally see them addressing peoples concerns and nailing down a firm release date.

 

[Bold One]

FROM MY POINT OF VIEW THE JEDI ARE EVIL

THEN YOU TRULY ARE LOST!

 

[Elios83]

Trailer looks amazing but yeah, almost a full year delay is a lot for a game which is not a mega production and reliastically won't set sales charts on fire. I was expecting a late August release.
But it all comes down to the improvements they have made so far and those they will continue to make until the release date.
I'd like the developers to elaborate on this in the near future. They really need to explain why it will be worth the wait.

 

[Loudninja]

They are going to explain the reason for the delayed tomorrow

We are working hard to make it worth the wait. We'll explain why we needed this extra time in a more detailed post tomorrow.

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

Now we just need a confirmation that The Last Guardian is also coming out on October 8th...

can't win either way. No games, too many games.

The rest of the game? What you played was a vertical slice, not the entire game.
