DriveClub Review Thread.

- Start date
I was expecting a competent and incredibly pretty but overall fairly uninspiring racer - everything they've shown of the game up to now seemed to suggest that to me. So the reviews so far just seem to reaffirm that.
same. Having played a ton of FH2 now, I think DC has the potential to be the better racing game, and FH2 the better 'game' game, as you have all the ancillary stuff like exploring for things and just twatting about off road. But the races in DC (what little I played at the expo) were more enjoyable and the cars felt better.

Are you serious?! The hell did I buy this for then? Fix this shit polyphony!No romance
if nfs rivals shit grimdark police rivalry story constitutes as "soul", i'll take a soulless game, thanks.
I mean, I get that they're all comparing it to FH2s amazing atmosphere. But come on. Bland menus don't make a racing game bad.

They are still on last gens review scale. They haven't got the memo.
I wouldn't compare them to those kind of games really. What you get in DRIVECLUB is an extremely solid, albeit limited experience.
I would imagine that it's the social aspect of this game that keeps people going, and that's just starting now.

(I like the game too)
It's funny reading reviewers complain about a game with 'no passion/no romance' as that's exactly how I feel when I try Gran Turismo/mainline Forza games.
Still at least everyone (well I'm assuming most have PS Plus on PS4) gets to try it out regardless later this week

Yea gonna try it out because of PS+ but glad I held of my upgrade now. Hopefully I'll enjoy it from PS+ but by the sounds of it they haven't done enough for the game side of stuff but focused too much on graphics...

I'm beginning to think that now whenever a game has an embargo lifting date the day on its release or a day before means it will get scores like that.
Resogun is almost a year old. There's also TLoUR.
Sounds pretty much what i'd expect from a racing game...

Devoid of the, I guess, 'passion' which made games like PGR, Burnout Paradise and FH my favourite racers of last gen.

Seems like it would have made a decent launch game.
Will try the PS+ version because why not but looks like Project Cars is my racing game this year.

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
Huh it's not reviewing well...oh well I will stick to the PS+ version than.
hopefully Evo might tweak some of the corner cutting stuff. The tracks have roadside obstacles (rocks etc) which will punish you heavily if you hit them, so maybe just let people cut corners with the risk/reward being in the physical penalty of hitting something which will really slow you down?

Dang, it's getting a bit of a bollocking isn't it. I was expecting a slew of positive responses since the game got delayed by a year and everything.
Still, I'll make up my own mind by trying out the demo version.

You have a good point. If FH2 wasn't already out I'm certain driveclub scores would be higher.
They must be shills for Microso...oh wait
These are scores I could've seen happening before the big delay, but they are rather low for what I expected this game to become after some polishing. It could've been in worse shape than I expected it to be in around the time of the originally planned release, but after reading some short bits from a few reviews I guess the major problem is that the presentation is really plain. That isn't something that is easily fixed.
But this is the studio that wanted to call its game #driveclub, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised.

IDK, it seems like their first party stuff is all lair so far. Bloodborne, justify my love!

knew dc would flop because lack of content but not this bad. 1 thing i dont understand is this talk of 'no personality' in the gamespot review, wtf does that even mean? forza 5 scored a 9 and thats a simple track racer and gt scores well on the website too.
Are Gamespot crazy?
How does anything in that game look bland? I don't even have to own it to know that this is plain BS.
Heard nothing bad in the OT about the AI, all they say is "no rubberbanding", while the controls receive general praise in the OT.
How badly worded can a review be, really?

The score ranges for this game is insane... from a 5 to a 8.6? I know it is not for everyone but hot damn.

Did not expect such low scores
You realise this could be said for nearly any game? You could have said this about both Ryse and Knack too.
Shush, I'm still hoping Evil Within knocks it out of the park

The game works, and plays very well.
Is also on PS3.
