Driveclub’s strength is its killer combo of stripped-back racing and social features, pushing you to keep going back to the track for personal glory and the glory of your team. If it lacks the glamour, freedom and exuberance of Forza Horizon 2, there’s compensation in the fierce competition on the track. The AI can be annoying, and not everyone will get the game’s approach, but if you engage with the game’s strong social angle, there’s a great racer in here to enjoy.
Digital Foundry : Whether it's via FPS Boost or bespoke software upgrades, backwards compatibility on the current-gen consoles delivered an unexpected delight - the ability to liberate older console games from their 30fps limits, running them at 60 frames per second or even higher. FPS Boost did the business for Xbox Series consoles on an impressive range of titles, but there was always the sense that PS5 could do more. It's a hunch that checks out as a range of frame-rate unlocks are available for PS5, covering many must-have games - the major caveat being that only exploitable consoles running on older firmwares are invited to the party.
you love to see new life being breathed into older titles but damn the process to get there. It should be automatic that these work for everyone... not just those who exploit their systems. Really wish Sony and MS would keep this program going officially.
Damn this sucks. I want this shit so bad, but I’m not jailbreaking my console. And frankly I shouldn’t have to. I’m not a tech person, but is it really that hard for developers to unlock the framerate? Or would that have to be a large patch?
Yep, this sucks having to require a jailbreak for something that should be standard in our industry by now. I learned my lesson when PS4 was jailbroken and I didn't keep a console on low firmware for years, but now I'm holding onto two low firmware PS5s specifically because there are features I'll be able to do that you can't do on official firmware, so this will pay off for me soon enough.
Driveclub was a headline game at the start of the PS4’s life. A fabulous game – eventually - but what now, with the servers turned off? Is it worth your time? JDR starts its engines in today’s Brutal Backlog.
Bikes expansion might be one of the most underrated games of last gen. Incredible driver and bike animations + DC weather is craze.
Cultured Vultures: We won't stop until everyone appreciates how brilliant Driveclub is/was.
i went to the article and theres only a couple racing games, cant find the button to move page on through all the adverts.
Dirt rally doesn't even make the list? Errm OK then.
Driveclub is over rated as well, with middle of the road handling and the 30fps killed it upon arrival for me.
7 out of 10? not bad, but far from terrible. After hearing how jacked up the PS store version is, i'll just get the hard copy version, especially after hearing how the A.I. is like bloodthirsty killers are in the PS store version, AA in the cars is not smooth like the hard copy version and the online jacked up in it unlike the hard copy version. So the hard copy of driveclub is all right, it's the PS store version that's broken from what i heard. Hope it's true!
I tried the game for a few hours over at a friend's house.
It was dissapointing, first and foremost, the driving. I know they're trying to make the cars have weight, but it's impossible to not crash in a turn.
Then there are these stupid penalties, like crashing in others, driving outside the road etc. They lower your score, that's not bad, but the fact that i can't accelerate for like 3 seconds after getting it.
This combined with the awful steering makes driving impossible.
It's some weird design choices.
Its not an unrealistic review. I would even go as far as to say its a fair review of the game.
*If it lacks the glamour, freedom and exuberance of Forza Horizon 2,
And just like that your credibility goes out the window.

No. What they did was advertising and was aimed at Forza, Forza 5 specifically. This is a REVIEW of Driveclub. Forza Horizon 2 shouldn’t even be brought up.
