I really enjoyed their previous releases - was a huge fan of Motorstorm: Pacific Rift was just insanely difficult though, but they are still impressive games even by today's standards...

I loved Apocalypse myself. Motorstorm is a great arcade series. Hopefully EVO get back into that next.

i see Bloodworth from GT reviewed the game and gave it an 8.6.

I like him as a reviewer for racing games, since he actually has a pedigree playing and reviewing the genre.

Still, at least there is the PS+ edition for everyone to try out.

If Driveclub doesn't do well. SONY is going to close Evo. None of their past 3 games sold well or made profit. But I'm sure Europe can save it. Because well it's Sony land and EU likes racing games a lot.

This looks hellofa boring compared to Forza Horizon 2!!
I would pick Horizon 2 over DriveClub!

And what exactly makes you say that that the games didnt sell well enough or not make profit?

@ Sinn - Im aware (from a retailer's point of view) that Motorstorm did not perform as it should've, especially apocalypse...

Thanks for the heads up. Thats too bad. Hopefully DC gets some audience at least.

Game looks, at least, a lot more fun to play than other racers. But only if you care about no frills, skilled based racing against others.

I really like that Motor Storm game for the PSP with the Snowmobiles and stuff

Never got to play that one T^T.

looked like a lot of fun.

Having looked over the review from GS, it is pretty clear that the reviewer wanted DC to be a game that it was clearly never designed to be.

If you think DC looks boring next to FH2 because FH2 is open-world, allows you to customize your cars performance etc, then sure that is fine. But that is not what DC was ever pushed as at any time in its development. If you want to drive a Lambo through fields etc, then that is great. DC is designed for the driving fan who wants to race super cars on actual track like locations where the only difference between you and another player is your understanding of the course and your skill level, not how many shortcuts you can take or how much performance you were able to add to your own vehicle.

There is room for both. Some people will prefer one type of the other and that is fine. But reviewers thinking that DC should be a different type of game doesn't make much sense at all.

Too bad the servers are down on launch day. So it's just you by yourself. And so many features are blocked without being connected to their servers

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with Sinncross. We all have our own preferences when it comes to games and thank God for that. I would never play Forza, purely because I prefer a more "real" experience when (which is not often) play car games. I won't play a car game where I can drive a Super Car through fields, a Land Rover at insane speeds etc.

And in all honesty, when I look at some of the videos of Forza, it doesn't graphically look that good to me, especially when the camera is an outside view of the car, they don't look well designed and detailed to me at all, the look like plastic and the road surface looks so smooth that it almost looks impossible for your tyres to grip on that surface. I guess for an arcade racer that's fine, but when you looking for "real", Forza just doesn't appeal to me.

Therefore, to me, Drive Club is way more appealing, and I'm not a Racing Game fan, but I'm considering getting it

@ Morschee - Yeah - I'm playing both Driveclub and Forza Horizon 2 and thoroughly enjoying both games for their own merits

Now just to find the time to play all these awesome games! haha

!disappoint You are watching the right videos...right?
But like you said, we all have our own preferences!
Some ppl like to have fun aka Forza Horizon 2! & some ppl are old at boring aka DriverClub

@Sin Agreed!
Two very different racing games here! Just a petty they are both exclusives

@ KF - Definitely watched the right video

If I want a Wacky Racer, I'll buy Motor Storm, now that's a Fun "Racing" game As Tea said, each game is played on it's own Merits. To me, it Looks like the Forza Developers didn't know what they want, they went from "Kinda real" to wacky, which I suppose delivers more of a Variety, it just doesn't appeal to me. I'm (as you said) "The Old Boring" class

^ Forza and Forza Horizon different games, different developers. Don't mix them up Morschee otherwise people might think you don't now what you talking about (just joking)

Honestly...what the world needs is a new motor bike game (That's not motogp) Preferably "Tourist Trophy 2". Car's are so boring these days

I see what you did there

I must say one thing that I do prefer about DC over FH2 is the fact that its not open world.

I just want to get through some quick menus to start a race, not have to race from one side of a map to another just to start it. Will be interesting to see what happens when the dynamic weather drops for the game.

Understand this point, but honestly, the longest journey is about 6 minutes between hubs. Driving between races in a hub takes about 2 mins max. There is also Fast travel which costs credits, but you reduce that by breaking hidden boards all over the countryside

They need to sort the online out. If they don't im going to trade it real fast. Damn you Evolution
