Why can't you just wait and try the game out to decide if you like it or not? Why do you have to "want" to like it now before it's even out?

Hmmm, DriveClub is more arcady and is more focused on the fun of racing against friends or alone in a very good looking simple package. What you're looking for is more sim and DC is not that, thank god !
Sim/Arcade style of racers are rare and many racing games take themselfs too seriously. I don't want a game that has 500 cars of stuff like that because it looses its focus imo. Too much is like not enough. I'm honestly glad a game like DriveClub is coming, it looks like it focues on the stuff i like in racing games, which is actually racing.
Just how people are hyped for this game based on what they've seen, I'm less so. I want to like it because I'm a fan of racers, but I'm skeptical based on what I've seen.
Luckily, there will be a PS+ version that I can try out before hand. Otherwise, I'd wait for launch week impressions.
I'm just voicing an opinion like everyone else.
Is that a mannequin watching the race?
I don't think you know what spitballing means

We are now past 100 friends on PSN: DRIVECLUB-GAF. 105 to be precise.
I just sent an friend request.
I don't think that's the case considering the Midnight Club series was one of my favorite racers ever. I know what DC is trying to achieve, and I'm not sure it will accomplish it. I'm not asking for 500 cars, accurate physics, etc. I also don't think that a game that has great racing feel has to eschew other factors that make games fun.
I think DC has great potential (and I think the patches will fill it out to some extent), but when I was more excited with the initial reveal than I am now (despite the game looking better since then).

Is it true you can purchase car unlocks? How much does it cost to get the last car in the game?
In everyone's opinion what is the nicest looking car?
Can all car types play together? Super, Hyper, and performance?

It's pretty arcadey though and handles well with a controller. Assuming you have PS+ you'll be able to give it a try anyway.
I have a preorder in for a T300 but considering cancelling. Difficult to justify for just this and project cars, but then it should still be an upgrade over my DFGT for PC games too

Not quite sure what is the point of impression on launch week when everyone gets a free portion of the game to try. Unless you can't enjoy a game unless everyone else enjoy it. Not trying to be an asshole but why not just try out for yourself and decide? This being an platform exclusive new ip I fully expect reviews and impressions to be very mix. but who cares I've seen enough to know it will be fun and look great so preordered and paid off!
Ok we all know it's one of the greatest looking games of all time, but........
IS IT FUN?

When both systems have the exact same amount of racing games except for one (two Forza's) this statement seems weird. Especially for two systems that share majority of the same library across all genre's.
"I like Forza" would have been a more accurate post.
Damn, just amazing.
This thread has ruined gaming for me until DC is released (tried playing BF4, PvZ and Titanfall last night...in that order and it was boring). Damn it.
Where are you getting this from?
At least it's not day of release reviews.

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
Weren't you watching? Absolutely!
Soo who?
Oh man, swanlee is in that chat. I remember that name. Permabanned to oblivion but man, crazy times with that guy on GAF.
And he uses corridor racing in a non ironic fashion! Still reading GAF I see.
One second, looking for the source

Doesn't seem like anything official:

Am I allowed to post captures?
Man... controls are INSANELY GOOD. Period.
Graphics = best EVAH in a racing game. Period. Lighting is insane, I can't imagine how good this will look with the weather update!
Two complaints only: there are some jaggies here and there (few, not much), and the collisions are kind of lame, but we already knew that from the videos.
Everything else is simply unmatched though. Evo has outdone themselves.

I don't think that's an official PS account...just some person.
Yeah I know that.
But I am going to trust Blim here.
He said Tuesday.

Same. Everything we've seen points to what he said, Oct 7 at 6 AM PST.

So you want a game with a livery editor, open-world racing, and nothing but exotics to drive. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I can't think of any title past, present, or future that combines just those features.
Of course, you're free to have preferences, but it just seems like you're setting yourself up for disappointment, not just with Driveclub but with every racing game.

Yeah, this game probably isn't for you then. Personal opinion but I disagree with the bolded statement. I love just turning laps in a car.
I did paint race liveries in Forza for years, and it was fun, but loved a game like Race Pro even more. That was the definition of bare bones racing.
If I were you, I'd be sure to steer clear from pCARS too. No customization in that, and really, different progression. Everything unlocked from the start. Racing for the sake of racing.
BINGO!
Couldn't agree more.
I really don't get the need for more in racing games. Reviewers complain about not having enough to do outside of racing, when, really, that's the point of a racing game.
Edit- Lol Liable Brave, if only some game was on the Horizon for him...
