DriveClub (Evolution Studios/PS4) announcement trailer. [PS3 WHEELS ARE SUPPORTED]

Whilst we haven't announced out full car list yet, the E3 demo featured the McLaren 12C as a playable vehicle, so yes McLaren will most definitely be featuring in DRIVECLUB :)

Are all of the cars in the game street legal or are you going to have pure racing cars like the Zonda R?

As well as Kunos with Assetto Corsa ;)

Edit: I've read mentions of Ged Talbot from Bizarre Creations in this thread - I was already excited for DriveClub and if a ex-PGR guy is working on DriveClub then this game will be a must buy for me.
Ged's on it, as is Eamon who did all the video editing/design at Bizarre. There was another ex-Bizarre guy as well who I looked up, but can't remember his name. But I seem to recall that he worked on a bunch of them.

Is it any wonder that any mentions of Talbot in here were probably only from me? ;)

Do you think its safe to assume if ps3 wheels are going to work on the ps4, that ps3 fight sticks will also work on the ps4?
 
Don't care about the McLaren road cars, Rushy please:

Can we customise the in game driver with our own face transplant, custom race suits, helmets, goggles, etc?

Take a look at this video, you'll not regret it.

This is the vibe DriveClub should be aiming for, beautiful natural locations, real drivers roads, we don't need tacky city tracks that are no challenge to drive.

This video also highlights the need for superb sound reproduction, without it the character of a car is lost.

Alluding to the earlier discussion about the need for lower powered cars, and a few classics, I'd like to see some of these added to the car roster over time.

E30 BMW M3 Sport Evo
Mercedes 190 Evo II
R32 Nissan Skyline GTR
Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth
Ford Escort RS Cosworth
Ford RS200
Audi Sport Quattro
Peugeot 205 T16 Evo II
Peugeot 205 GTI
VW Golf GTI
MG Metro 6R4
Lancia Delta Integrale Evo II
Lancia Stratos
Subaru Impreza WRX (the classic original)
Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI TME
ST185 Toyota Celica GT4
Toyota AE86
Renault 5 Turbo 2

The focus is most definitely on road cars, but that's not to say we might not consider other cars as well further down the line.

Peripheral support is reliant on the manufacturer providing driver support for the PS4. Our goal is support as many wheels as we can that work on the PS4.

There will be some customisation options for characters, but we're putting most of our efforts into car customisation.

Rushy, will DRIVECLUBE be playable at this years Gamescom?
 
So basically what you're saying is that, say, Mad Cat sticks not working with the PS4 is basically a result of Mad Cat dropping driver support for their "legacy" products?

Well that's the PS4 sold to me - it was before but this news is all I need to read to confirm it.

thankx for that video...that guy is one lucky man.

as far as DriveClub, I already got that vibe. If you watch all the videos released as well as articles written...especially through out this thread, you'd get that vibe as well.

That's was such a great watch. A shame the F50 looks like it does, because a few times now it's been described as one of the best drivers cars ever produced.

Sorry if already asked, but what options are there for the UI?

I dislike it currently, way too intrusive/ too much. I prefer not to have the "head to head" thing pop in at every corner or straight.

The game is gonna have some beautiful locations, prefer for them not to be covered by the UI.

See, Rushy? I'm not the only one :D

Don't quote me on it that Ged's on it 100% because I haven't seen his name mentioned anywhere at all... but then again, compared to some of the others at Bizarre, he tended to let others do the media stuff. And I don't think we can argue that Rushy is doing such a bad job in that regard ;)

Thanks for confirming.

Can a mod please remove the "PS3 Wheels supported" from the title? It's not exactly true.

They've confirmed that Ged has been at Evo for a few years now. So it seems safe to say that he's working on this in some way since it seems like they're a one game studio.

Yes.


There will be a range of HUD/OSD options to configure it :)

Rushy, give us some new screens or gameplay or something. Lol.

On a side note, I hope a newer amazing looking build is shown at Gamescom, because you guys have a lot riding on it. Not sure the blander Scotland track was a great choice to show off straight off the bat. Especially when you have snowy mountain tracks an India too! Learn from Turn10, always show off your "crown jewel" first as they like to call it.

Yeah, I knew he was there, just didn't know if they may have had him working on another project... or working in a far less influential role on DC (like, I dunno... glove design? ;) ).

Pretty much knowing for sure that he's involved, though... ugh, so good. Almost makes up for no PGR5 :)

Only recently I discovered the joy of playing PGR4 in-car with no HUD. This pleases me.

No, I want replay so we can compare it to the original trailers and finally put nonsense like your threads to rest.
I want direct feed gameplay though but eh....I made that thread to ask if the footage shown was indicative of gameplay,what's so wrong about that?

Meh, who cares about replay. I want direct feed gameplay so I can see if the actual gameplay looks great, graphics and gameplay wise. Whilst the E3 demo looked decent, it did not look as good as the previously released trailers.

That's exactly my point, you're comparing a trailer with replay footage with gameplay. For a proper comparison I want direct feed replay footage.
 
The snippet of gameplay in the Feb reveal looked no better than the gameplay in the dev chat video or E3 demo, I'm sure all the footage we've seen so far has been from this 35% build - confirm Rushy.



And what locations have we seen so far?


Canada (snowy mountains), India (BAC Mono) and Scotland?

Problem is people are saying it looks worst and the Evo are bullshitting us like they did with Motorstorm when it can simply be a case of replay vs gameplay differences.
 
will this game feature any city tracks like PGR?

in this case the replays like 100 times better than the gameplay :(

Despite all of the negativity about fake trailers and downgrades and 30fps I'm still hyped for this game and very optimistic. I hope Evo has a great showing.
