It is the racing game set to send shivers down Drive Club's spine.
And with Forza Motorsport 5 boasting visuals like these, it’s not hard to see why.

I just saw all 3 driving games at PAX. I watched them all very closely. To sit there and say one is killing the other it totally nitpicking. I mean the dash on F5 and DC didn't look as good as GT6. The outside of the cars were all very very good. The trees in DC looked very digital still in many shots driving by. Certain times the camera pans of F5's cars it goes from realism to cartoonish. You can see it very clearly. At the end of the day, GT6 looked the best over all with the least amount of visual notices. But again, it's kind of nitpicking when all 3 are done well. I made sure to watch them all!

Yes ill be sure to trust you :) guy that says:

I swear Sony guys have the best personalities. They are very easy to relate to in real life. Where MS guys seem very stale, dry humor, total white collar nerd types.

ZBlacktt3899d ago

Take it for what it's worth as I own a lot of consoles. My statement about Sony's staff is just that. Zero to do with actually seeing these games in person for a long period of time. Which is better then 90% of you just sitting here guessing and watching YT videos. Which we all know YT videos do nothing justice.

WeAreLegion3898d ago

I take it you haven't watched any Major Nelson videos, B-radical?

How can two completely different games be compared, Forza is a arcade-sim leaning heavily towards simulation, while Drive Club is a pure arcade racer in the same vain as the Need 4 Speed games.
It would be more beneficial to compare Forza to something like Gran Turismo 6 or even the up coming Project Cars, as these games are simulation heavy.

All this jorno has done is take a load of Turn 10 PR rubbish and splash it across this page, with out doing a bit of research.

Facts are this, Forza 5 has:
Static backgrounds
Pre-baked lighting
No day/night cycle
No varible weather conditions

Drive Club does all this and is (according to Evolution Studios) is nearing that magical 1080p@60fps.

"In comparison, the PS4 exclusive Drive Club looked remarkably last-gen - with muddy textures and the demo riddled with environmental 'pop up"

That is a total fanboy comment coming from a so called journalist.

B-radical3899d ago

I only read there aiming for 60fps? Haven't heard there nearing it can you PM me a link to that cheers mate

SniperControl3899d ago

Just PM'd you with the article.

If any other Sony fans are interested.

HammadTheBeast3899d ago

Nearing is better than not having day/night cycles. It's a whole dimension of racing missed out in Forza.

Keregan3897d ago

This apply to all ps4 lineup.....they're aiming for 60 fps

paul-p19883899d ago

"All this jorno has done is take a load of Turn 10 PR rubbish and splash it across this page, with out doing a bit of research."

That is the Daily Mail in one sentence, they don't have a CLUE what they are talking about, don't bother to research or even spell check their articles, and are just outwardly racist and homophobic.

e.g. if a credible news source (e.g. BBC News) were to report on an influx of immigration it would be neutral and just state facts after research. The Daily Mail would splash it on the front page with something like 'DIRTY IMMIGRANTS ARE RUINING OUR COUNTRY, STEALING OUR CHILDREN AND RAPING OUR PETS!!'

and this is why people with even the slightest bit of sense don't bother to read it...

SniperControl3899d ago

@Paul

I know this, the DM is a sleaze of a tabloid.

Thing is, the xboys are lapping it up as gospel.

christian hour3898d ago (Edited 3898d ago )

Yup, daily mail should not be allowed on N4G, its absolute tripe.

Here's an amazing song about it though :)

well, not exactly the daily mail, just tabloids in general, but the Daily Mail are bad enough they get name checked :)

Plus everyone likes Radiohead, right?!

no?

aw

:(

That depresses me... maybe some radiohead will cheer me up!

:)

thetruthx13899d ago

Driveclub doesn't look as good as Forza and they haven't reached 60 frames yet they said they are trying

The difference

GribbleGrunger3899d ago

I'm confused ... why are you trying to prove that Driveclub looks a lot better? Your first sentence suggests the opposite.

HammadTheBeast3899d ago

lol.

You pulled up a screenshot of a video of alpha code from Driveclub, and it still places well against a rendered screenshot from Forza 5.

FlameHawk3898d ago (Edited 3898d ago )

I was just going to say that, the Driveclub picture is from a video while the Forza 5 picture is rendered and not even from a gameplay and it doesn't even have the hud.

Elit3Nick3898d ago

@FlameHawk It is in game footage, if you actually saw the gameplay videos on Prague you'll see that this picture is actual gameplay. BTW you realize that you can turn off hud, I do it to maintain immersion.

jimsas3898d ago

I've played both at Gamescom and Forza does look and play better.

AceBlazer133898d ago

Dude DriveClub obviously looks better.Forza looks like Barbie and crayola.Any one that thinks DriveClub looks worst is just hating.

M-M3898d ago

Nitpicking much? You're comparing a shot with a lot of lighting to a shot with a not so sunny day. Even then, Driveclub still looks better. http://gyazo.com/accebd588c...

Looking back to 2014 and Forza Motorsport 5 Racing GOTY Edition

Carlos writes - "When it was time for Forza 5 to rock on up to the track, we were just entering the third generation of Xbox consoles, and to show off all that extra horsepower that would come inside the Xbox One, they wanted a flagship title that could truly showcase just what miracles the next generation could perform. And what better title than Microsoft’s beloved racer!"

Such s supreme racing title. Hands down racing franchise of recent decades. Nothing has come close in quality or ratings.

bluefox7551757d ago

Not to mention the worst rated game in the series.

mijayire1757d ago

Apart from Forza 5. Talking about generally the Forza series has always been rated high. Perhaps Forza 5 was rushed for launch. Although made up again by Forza 6 and 7.

IRetrouk1757d ago

I liked the game well enough, it was a good starting point for the new gen and helped them build up to what motorsport 7 is now, the controversies wasnt with the numbers of cars or tracks though, it was more to do with the pc footage being passed off as xbox one, the downgrade from what they originally had shown caused more upset than the numbers.

Are the free Xbox Games With Gold titles for September 2017 any good?

James writes - "So here we are with a new month about to begin, and we all know by now that means a number of new games are about to be gifted to all Xbox One and Xbox 360 players via the Xbox Games With Gold scheme for September2017. The free games of last month were passable if truth be told, but can September’s offerings make it a month to remember, or one to skip over?"

Well...lets see. So FM5 is 2013's Racer of the Year, while Oxenfree was nominated and won all types of awards as an indie game in 2016. On the BC side, both games are classics.

lxeasy2448d ago

The Games for Gold this month are pretty good

DaNineTwo2448d ago

I have no idea why you got disagrees.

shinrock2448d ago (Edited 2448d ago )

Because ur in Sonyland.

DaGreatOne2448d ago

I got disagrees for pointing the same thing out the psn games coming. I doubt some people actually enjoy games that visit this site.

TheSaint2447d ago

I swear some people just go into topics and hit disagree on every post for no reason.

EazyC2448d ago

Of course they are. The competition between PS Plus and GwG is getting good now, expect more great months on both sides

Damn good month. No doubt

senorfartcushion2448d ago

Keep it neutral, fanboy.

senorfartcushion2447d ago

Profile picture, son. I'm an adult, I don't do that fanboy nonsense.
