Where are the leaked screenshots?

Don't post scans, use google fu, blah-blah... etc

 

[SolidSnakex]

Bullshit, really?!

Speaking to CVG at the PlayStation Meeting event in New York, a Sony spokesperson confirmed that the next entry in Guerrilla Games' flagship first-person shooter series and Motorstorm creator Evolution Studios' new racer are targeted for release alongside the console later this year.

Could this be Sony's free-to-play offering? Sparse amount of cars in the core game, pay to unlock individual cars/tracks or DLC packs.

It would help create a big community if everyone had the game. Which doesn't seem like a bad idea for a game that is purely based around community.

 

[Coloress_Kafka]

Is RUF mentioned in the article? Cuz one of the cars looks like a 911 but it couldn't possibly be a real one right?

The RUF logo was shown during the unveiling at the PS Meeting.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

What does this mean?

My interpretation is that each track will have massive landscapes behind them and won't feel like an empty city.

 

[Hydrargyrus]

Sounds really good

Goddamnit Was hoping Porsche finally came to their senses.

 

[RiverBed]

The online/connected/team based play reminds me of LBP in single player. I want it to work.
It's about time racers hit the global competitive connected scene.

It's also good this is not a sim game as that is Sony's GT market.

What should I type into Google?

 

[Miles Quaritch]

What should I type into Google?

New Drive Club Details Plus Screens.

New Drive Club Details Plus Screens.

Ah, thanks. Was hoping for gameplay screen shots, not arty photomode stuff.

You can tell by the wheels that it's a RUF and not a Porsche.

 

[Endo Punk]

I guess now I can add this to the list of reasons I want a PS4.

 

[strafer]

I hope they get the engine sounds right.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Looking at the screens I'd say a livery editor is definitely in.

 

[amar212]

It does not seem like a Livery Editor, it seems like Vinyl solution as seen in GRID (PGR4)?

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

Thought this was gonna be a simulation game, considering how meticulous they were being with car detail.

But if a goal is to drift 1000m it sounds like my kind of game.

 

[Acquiescence]

Not expecting Hot Pursuit levels of arcadeyness, but if it's more HP/Burnout and less GT then good.

 

[Jac_Solar]

- Race and increase fame/funds to gain access to better cars

Hopefully this won't, somehow, be tied to social media/DLC. I usually like these kinds of systems in games, but the way it's mentioned here, or that it's even mentioned, is kind of weird.

Drift events can dire in a fire. Still, the game sounds interesting. I was hoping for PGR style street circuits too but a Forza Horizon style game isn't too bad I guess.

 

[saladine1]

Perhaps we should wait for some substantial media before making comments on visuals.

All I know is, between Driveclub and GT6, we wont be short on automotive goodness this year...and that's just the PS..

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

This should be mind-blowing, and close-enough to photo-realistic.

Although I expect all next-gen racers to reach a similar graphical boundary.

 

[DieH@rd]

Lightning conditions at sunrise/sunrise are always "pretty".

 

[Metalmurphy]

Lightning conditions at sunrise/sunrise are always "pretty".

Yeah, I'm sure the game looks like shit at other times.

It does not seem like a Livery Editor, it seems like Vinyl solution as seen in GRID (PGR4)?

Or even their previous MS Apocalypse game. Yeah, you're probably right.

Edge just posted an interview on Drive Club here:

http://www.edge-online.com/features/drive-club-the-evolution-racer-nine-years-in-the-making/

Not sure if it's old? I think I saw the quote about 'coming up to speed' on graphical techniques before. I guess it's from the last PS4 issue?

 

[SniperHunter]

the screens are new

Well I've not read that yet, interesting info in there.

we wanted use everything we’d learned about recreating real-world locations and that lovely feeling you get when something just looks breathtaking.

It’s our favourite element of shows like Top Gear, where they just do it so well, you’re reminded of an absolutely staggering vista and that in its simplicity can be such a wonderful thing to see, that’s always been a core part of the game.

Exciting.

Am I missing something?

Every time I see more about this game it just seems like a shameless copy of Forza Horizon's structure with some of the character of PGR?

bad jpegs from edge article

Sounds deeper, but yeah...some serious Horizon vibes. No bad thing, Horizon is great.

Thought I might bump this up.

Why must everything be a copy?

Wha?

I love Forza Horizon, but they didn't invent the Open World racing game.

 

[Emwitus]

Is this the game?

 

[SneakyStephan]

Huh, ok. Sounds like Sony's answer to Forza Horizon.

Or need for speed or test drive or any other racing game that didn't have circuit tracks 10-20 years ago.

 

[Seanspeed]

I dont think they're trying to compete with games from 10-20 years ago.

Horizon is MS exclusive. Drive Club is Sony exclusive. They're niche-filling exclusives. If MS has it but Sony doesn't, thats an argument for the Xbox. If Sony puts out something along similar lines, it negates Micrsoft's advantage. Kind of like how Forza Motorsport was MS's answer to Gran Turismo.

How about from 2 years ago on this gen?

Also, Niche and GT don't really go along.

 

[Waldo Lydecker]

Could this be the game that finally will reach the quality of Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 and Burnout 2 which I absolutely loved on my phat PS2? Arcade racers have been shit after it...

 

[GYNGA]

1) Evolution came up with the idea for this game ten years ago
2) Forza Horizon was announced on March 5, 2012. Driveclub is in development since ~mid 2011.

Whatever this game is, it's not a copy of Forza Horizon.
