I'm very happy to be right about my initial assessment. Playing on the India track (other courses are set in Scotland, Canada, Chile, and Norway, among others), I found that while you don't have to worry about tire pressures, suspension settings, or traction control, you do have to respect each car's unique capabilities, lest you be punished. Not only is it rather easy to slam into guard rails or veer off the track if you drive recklessly, but I quite like how Driveclub punishes you for doing so by subtracting the very DC points (aka Kudos if we stick with the PGR comparison) that you're rewarded with for good maneuvers, such as drifting or clean overtakes.

My initial impression is that Driveclub veers a smidge closer to the sim side of the track than PGR did, but you'll still be able to pull off some sick drifts through a big turn with enough practice. On a similar note, Evolution confirmed to me that car damage is purely cosmetic; you won't be left crippled during a race no matter how badly you mess up.

I raced in both the Ferrari F12berlinetta and the AMG SLS (as a longtime DeLorean owner, I have a soft spot for gull-wing doors). I like how your driver opens the door and gets into each car in the first-person perspective before each race, and the cockpit views are nice should you choose to utilize that camera. Draw distance is impressive, as are the leaves and flower petals that blow around the track. The sprinklers in the fields are a nice touch, too.

I think Driveclub is going to be worth the wait.

I finally got a chance to play Sony's first-party PS4 racer for myself after a year of interviews, presentations, and delays, and I've been eager to do so because it reminds me of the Xbox's dormant Project Gotham Racing series. What do I mean by that? Basically, Driveclub gives off a similar gameplay vibe in that it seems like it straddles the line between an arcade racing game like Burnout (R.I.P.) and a serious sim like Gran Turismo.

Since we have nothing else on PS4 to compare it to yet, I'd say that Driveclub's 1080p, 30 frame-per-second graphics are roughly on par with Forza Motorsport 5's 1080p/60fps looks. I'd give the slight edge to Forza when making a mental comparison, but I'd have to put them side-by-side in order to really make a call. But this isn't a console face-off; PS4 players are certainly not going to be disappointed by Driveclub's looks.

Interesting. Anyway, check out their full preview.

Damn, this game looks fucking great. I must say I am generally not interested in racers. The last racing games I were really into was the GT series on PS2.

However, this just looks incredible. Definitely has my interest.

Just holy crap at this game. I'm not into racing games at all, but I really want to get this game and a wheel one day. What they are putting into this game is really impressive.

Exactly. He played the game. You're looking at screenshots.
There's a difference, and those extra 30 fps can make a world of a difference for a racing game.

Not saying Ryan is being biased, but there's nothing wrong with what he said.
He didn't make the declaration that one is definitively better than the other and even acknowledged that he would need to see them running side-by-side before making that call.

videogamer.com video was interesting. Although there was a bit at the end talking about 'what does this game do that other racers don't? Why would you pick this over other racers?'

well for starters, there aren't any other racers on the PS4 at the moment!

Seems like VideoGamer have the same concerns as me that the tracks look kind of bland to race. Wish Evo did some windy mountain tracks that climb and dip or tracks that enter towns and require navigating narrow streets. Think it's a glaring omission.
