Support NeoGAF

[nhlducks35]

wtf? are they really going to switch the driver seat for countries like UK or is that just a flipped image

What?

It'll depend on the car and its country of origin.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

Really excited about being the worst driver in NeoGAF's Driveclub team.

I'll gladly challenge you for that title

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Nevermind. Found out. It's McLaren MP4-12C.

 

[gofreak]

The particles comment makes me hopeful of some great weather effects...maybe we'll see at e3.

 

[Razgreez]

The only thing that worries me is how Evolution is enamoured with shitty ruberband AI... :/
And 30 fps.

Everything else seems ace.

Technically the AI in motorstorm isn't fully rubberband-ed. They actually drive to a set time whether they wipe out or not - which is still cheap yes (they do sometimes slow down a bit to let the player catch up though so the catchup is fully rubber banded)

 

[bigboss370]

I think I might need to buy this o_o

goddamnit there isn't a single game from the Feb reveal that I'm not interested in...I don't even know how I'm gonna get all the moneys

 

[KOHIPEET]

faptacular info

I lol'd on this one. Faptacular is the new green.

 

[Putty]

Colin Rogers is a friend of mine who I've known for more than 20 years, he joined Evo from Codemasters when development finished on Grid 2, which he was heavily involved with. He has hinted to me a few times about DC being a real looker and THEN some! He also mentioned Forza 5 ....8)

 

[Miles Quaritch]

High speed in DS4 gyros allow extremely accurate steering in racing games

This is pretty big news if true, could see wheels go the way of the dodo on PS4.

if they achieved this on the PS3...just imagine....just imagine.

of course I don't expect similar extreme weather environments, but more impressed with just how realistic certain parts look...like after the explosion and the lighting returns to overcast with lightning flashes. Just amazing.

why would that be the case?

Omg yes. My mind was blown the first time I played on this track in Apocalypse. I just Hope Driveclub has some sort of SP campaign to work through, all I keep hearing about is racing with friends.

 

[uncharted86]

• Environment examples: roadside grass, scrub, memorable landmarks, stunning skies, staggering vistas

So it's purely road racing? No word on race courses being in too?

this needs a special edition trilogy re-release for the PS4

 

[Kinan]

this needs a special edition trilogy re-release for the PS4

Yes, with proper full-res 3D this time.

 

[Kaako]

Well damn, that sounds pretty good on paper. Let me see it in action at E3 please.

Borderline mental.

Oh damn. How did I miss that? That's crazy.

 

[Piggus]

Yeah right. No controller even comes close the experience of a good wheel no matter how accurate the gyro is. The reason wheels are appealing is because of the force feedback and realistic resistance. It a actually feels like driving and in the case of games like Gran Turismo is extremely realistic if everything is set up correctly.

Smells like bullshit or rather just use of tesselation.

 

[Thrakier]

30FPS is a shame.

Motorstorm guys are insanely talented though.

 

[IncandescentPrecept]

30FPS is a shame.

Motorstorm guys are insanely talented though.

Is that confirmed to be running at 30fps?

That said, Motorstorm Apocalypse is my favourite racing game of this gen.

 

[IonicSnake]

I'm more hyped about this than GT! But to be fair it's because this is a PS4 game and GT6 at the moment is a PS3 only game.

 

[Fezan]

looks like true successor of PGR4 with social aspects

 

[Jburton]

So it's a Sony racer? You smash at 150mph and nothing happens to your car...but lighting is "spectacular"....who gives a shit!

Lol, I see its been a hard day for someone (all that MS bad news) .......... it's ok just go to bed and sleep it off.


Sounds great so far, I hope to be further impressed at E3.

 

[MrCookiepants]

Wow, sounding good. If that image on the magazine cover is a screenshot, then the lighting is insane.

 

[driver116]

Sounds excellent, can't wait to get my mits on it.

 

[thesuperfunk]

What car is that?

Looks like a McLaren from the badge on the steering wheel.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

Looks like they are going all out on the attention to detail. Should be fun to see the game in action.

 

[SmokyDave]

This is the game I'll be hammering most on my new PS4. I can't fucking wait.

 

[jaosobno]

Evolution Studios compared PD to a 106-piece orchestra while and themselves to a rockband.

Good. I'm more into rock.

 

[Canis lupus]

This is pretty big news if true, could see wheels go the way of the dodo on PS4.

lemao, the feeling of steering a wheel is just something else.

lighting and reflections off of car are "spectacular"

Yep, lighting and reflections look insane in those first screens.

 

[Neuromancer]

More excited about this than GT7 for PS4.

Me too. It sounds amazing.

 

[Certinty]

I still don't get if this is open world or not?

 

[-Amon-]

This is pretty big news if true, could see wheels go the way of the dodo on PS4.

Not going to happen.

 

[saladine1]

They also said this elsewhere

Each car was painstakingly set up with over 13 mics before being captured on track. You'll not get anything closer to real life

Amazing sounds incoming!

 

[The Jason]

this [motorstorm] needs a special edition trilogy re-release for the PS4

YES. Pacific rift would be glorious.

That info is from Play magazine.

OPM UK's preview is released tomorrow:

That shot looks real

 

[Raist]

wtf? are they really going to switch the driver seat for countries like UK or is that just a flipped image

The first trailer had a driver sitting on the left. It's most likely because this is a british car.

 

[Router]

I hope they get the mix of sim/arcade spot on.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Woven carbon fiber, as opposed to just a texture.

:O

My question is will GT fans ignore this if it is not a pure driving simulator.

 

[Rushy]

I still don't get if this is open world or not?

It isn't open an open world racer, it's a mixture of point to point and circuit based roads and tracks.

 

[Graphics Horse]

This is pretty big news if true, could see wheels go the way of the dodo on PS4.

Ehhh..
Wheels are bought by people who want wheels.

 

[SolidSnakex]

:O

My question is will GT fans ignore this if it is not a pure driving simulator.

Well, a bunch of people at GT planet are excited for it.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Well, a bunch of people at GT planet are excited for it.

Well competition can only be good, and PD are not exactly quick with their releases so it's good for Sony.

 

[-Amon-]

:O

Difficult answer ... speaking of myself i love anything car related speaking of videogames. I like switching from sim to arcade often, my days of fundamentalism are luckily long over

 

[The Jason]

It isn't open an open world racer, it's a mixture of point to point and circuit based roads and tracks.

Good to know. So no traffic?

 

[velociraptor]

Driveclub sounds utterly amazing. I cannot wait until E3.

 

[Foshy]

Yeah, sounds cool, will buy etc.

But what about wheel support? I won't shut up about this until it's official.

 

[BradleyLove]

:O

My question is will GT fans ignore this if it is not a pure driving simulator.

I love GT. I love PGR. I love Forza Horizon. I love Outrun.

For me, as long as the handling is good then I don't mind if its a bit more arcadey. I can't stand Shift or Dirt due to the weird handling model. Worryingly, I couldn't get on with Motorstorm: Apocalypse either (whereas I loved the first two) due to the weird handling.

Shift, Dirt and MS: A all feel like you rotate the car. It's as if the cars have been vertically skewered at the centre and you twist the skewer. Really, really horrible.

As long as the handling feels right, I'm there. I'd kill for a PGR style game on the PlayStation platform. PGR is one of the rare arcadey racers where you can drive properly and feel substantial differences between cars.
