60FPS game
tearing all over the place, ghosting, bad AF and the performance
this is not deal for me .. will buy after price drop under 20 or second hand
Where have you been? We've all known for ages that rainy night races bork the frame rate.
This really makes the console versions sound terrible.
Lock at 30 and i'd be happier.

People need to stop with this bullshit. You're running 30+ AI at night while raining. Someone posted in the other thread with a 980 and 20 AI + rain and they were going down to the 40's.
You guys really need to stop with this. Rain and night and shittons of AI will bog down any system.

No it doesn't.

It is if you're punching way above your GPU's weight with settings. At a mix of high, very high and max settings with MSAA enabled, I can get 50-60fps in rain in a 45 car race at Le Mans. GTX 780 and i5 3570.
Tell me what settings you use to get a solid 60 with no drops since that's what everyone here seems to be looking for.
I was an early backer for this game on PC so I guess I appreciate more how far they've gone with the optimizations since even a few months ago rain was completely unplayable. And that was for my rig with a 780 Ti.
Edit: I'm excited to see how Oculus support is for this game since I heavily tested it for the last few months and gave feedback to the devs in the developer forums.

I have to agree. Framerate fluctuation, ghosting, and screen tearing are especially annoying in racing games. I'd gladly take locked 30 over what I'm seeing. Seems like it has to be dry and day time to get close to 60.

Anyone know if this game takes advantage of multi core CPUs and DX12?

I'll have to test later tonight, my settings are for 50-60fps as I said above, which I'm comfortable with. I'd have to change them.

Good thing there's literally dozens of other reviews you could read.
I don't at all understand this drive to have all reviews be done the same way, and only by people who already like that kind of game. Variety in review perspectives is a good thing.

THe 980 was running at much higher settings than the console versions...
If you've actually played the game, it's a good arcade racer on its own. There's no point comparing it to PCARS when one is arcade and the other is a simulator.

Ehh, 86 on Metacritic.
Anybody know what the consensus of complaints are?

It's shitty and the handling sucks and its overhyped? That's weird because I've been playing it and enjoying it for over half a year now.
It's fine if you believe that, but anywhere I've looked outside of GAF the consensus seems to be that it's extremely mediocre. I think this is just a case of people trying really hard to like it and convincing themselves that it's actually good. Though, I could be wrong and maybe people genuinely do like it, but GAF is the only place that stood out with a different opinion on Driveclub. I just have an incredibly hard time understanding how people can enjoy that game.
With it being a singular very expensive graphics card I would certainly hope so. People need to give up the ghost, consoles are definitely not made for the majority of people in these threads.

Hmm you bring up some really good points. I am starting to doubt myself and my opinions of the game thanks to your insights. Could it be that this whole time, I've been lying to myself? I'm glad there is someone like you, with your finger on the pulse of the outside world, to tell me what I should think about the game. I am re-evaluating everything now.

AI, visual performance and default controls seem to be the common thread of negatives really.

that doesn't sound like variety. Sounds like a biased point of view. Reviewers should have an open mind.

Oh damn, definitely picking up on PC for me then. Jeeez it's that bad? Didn't they get mad about Digital Foundry misrepresenting something last week or so?

I'd still run it at 60fps on PS4, even with an option to lock at 30fps.
I gonna guess that 90%+ of the time I won't be in races that stress the game and lower the framerate. All the VVV PS4 videos I've watched have looked sweet.
I was disappointed when I bought RACE PRO on Xbox360 and realized it was 30fps, after having enjoyed Forza2 at the time running 60fps.

GTFO with that bullshit!
45 cars, with these effects, at this graphical fidelity is going to be hard to run on whatever you're using, unless you literally have some ridiculously expensive OP set up.

So you've just "looked" at the internet for your opinion? You've not played it?

All reviews are biased. The least we can do is have a variety of biases to look at.
As an early backer I already had the PC version for quite a while so I'm a bit biased, but if anything what pushes the PC version for me above the rest is the Oculus DK2 support. Along with my G27 wheel, nothing beats that immersion.
This was me. I had a Fanatec wheel setup and wheel stand so that I could move it to the basement when I (the wife) didn't want it out. In the end, I found it too cumbersome to move it around anytime I wanted to enjoy a quick race or two so I sold the setup.
I may regret it, but hopefully I'll have a better (more permanent) setup some day.
This can only be sarcasm ... right ?
Anyway, this game looked pretty solid when I tried it and as racing game fan I'm always intrigued by a new release, I will read through some reviews just to understand few things about a couple of things.

Did any of the reviews mention yet how long the career mode is approximately?

It's as long as you want it to be really due to endless seasons, changeable race lengths, etc.
Maybe it would be nice if everyone wasn't doing this same dogpile either, making it much much worse than his 1 or 2 posts.

Not on this level. Everything comes down to personal opinion, I agree, but calling something bad because of it's genre is idiotic. It's not even a valid opinion, it's an argumentless shout out.
