Considering that they have 12.5 second 1/4mi cars keeping up with 11.1 second 1/4mi cars, I'd hope that they let you upgrade them.
I hope so too but I've seen nothing in souping up the cars with new parts.

You can fixed them up visually but that is it.

We've waited. Time for greatness.
Jesus fuck the lighting is unreal.
I believe you just race them, no tuning or adding aftermarket parts and such... You can add liveries (from a selection) to the cars though and make a logo for your club via preset icons and symbols which you can stack on top of each other.
This is a arcade racer, very much about the pick up and play gameplay rather than the more sim like games like GT and Forza.

Driveclub is an arcade racer, has dynamic day/night cycles and dynamic weather including snow.

Huh. Did they just make all of the cars perform similarly? Or is it rubberbanding?

It's 30 fps. You could say it's the "PS4 version of Forza 5" if you're talking about them both being a track-based racer, though that's pretty much where the comparisons end. Driveclub looks to be a bit more forgiving in terms of its physics (I don't think we've had a good look at the assists options though), but its primary focus seems to be the social and community aspects of racing against other players in clubs. How this turns out is yet to be seen.

A bit of research isn't going to kill you. But i'm sure some gaffers will help you out.
I'm still doubting the intention of the question.

Gonna quote this post out of context a lot
Well, seeing as there's no rubberbanding, it must be the other one.

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
Man this game deserves success. Its so well done...like, everything screams painstaking care.
I'm really glad they went as far to delay the game to give the competitive aspect a more seamless integration.
I'm not a racing nut but I wanna see a community grow out of this.

I also want to see Evo stick around for another Motorstorm

dat sexy friction on the brake pads mang
Rushy says there is no rubberbanding, doesn't mean there is no rubberbanding. We'll only know at launch based on multiplayer and if you perform faster in a race than the same track solo. (#1 times only.)
yea the lighting is the biggest star of the show IMO

Oh wow. So unprofessional. I mean... those three games, while being all racers, are completely different to each other. That line simply doesn't apply.

Mmmm... so pretty. I love the fog and the clouds in this game, even though the colored lighting coming through them can sometimes look really strange.
The cars are sectioned up into different classes (see this: http://abload.de/img/driveclub_categorye4uev.png ) of course some cars will have higher top speed, faster acceleration and different handling and such within each class.
Evo have said there is no rubber-banding but from what I've heard and seen there seems to be quite a strong slipstream effect in the game, so if you get into the draft of the car in front it seems you will get a advantage to help keep the racing close.

After seeing those car models at the start of the video, I can't fucking wait for the photo-mode. I'm going to love getting up close and gawking at the detail in the models.

Oh yeah, that as well. I love driving through desert environments, and here they look just gorgeous.

Snow melts on sunny rocks, clouds are never the same, correct star constellations based on your location and orientation....fast load times.

That's what it is. It's not just the graphical quality, but the fact that they nailed the ambiance. It looks so bitterly cold that you can almost feel it.

The gorgeous environments have a HUGE role in making this game look as great as it does. I'm not a racing fan at all but the landscapes are absolutely beautiful.

It looks better but ones an open world racer and one is not. But I don't know if you are talking about graphics or actual gameplay.

I've said this before, but the atmosphere in the tracks is something that's hard to describe but you can absolutely feel. As someone who lives a few hours from the BC border and has been through the Canadian rockies many times, that "Forests of Canada" track is just phenomally accurate at representing how it FEELS to be in that region. It's not one thing, but the way the lighting and scenery compliment each other.

Yes but it's not a fair comparison if you're talking about Forza Horizon. Obviously an open-world game has to make compromises, and that's also a cross-gen game so it's limited in what they can do with it. If you're talking DC vs Forza 5, then yeah DC is significantly more impressive on a visual level.
Thanks for clarification. I use to think 60fps was necessary for racer, but FH illustrated to that it is more than adequate. This sounds like a much more casual/fun version of Forza 5 with more dynamic visuals. Looks good!
Going by the size of the tracks and the surrounding scenery in DC, the game could easily be an open world game.
Back to topic.
