So beautiful like a diamond!

Abriael3103d ago

I'm personally not much for Chrome, but this really looks good. Those reflections are amazing.

Forn3102d ago (Edited 3102d ago )

Driveclub is so damn stunning. Can't imagine what Evolution will be able to achieve on PS4 next.

bf0007779663102d ago

no doubt the best looking racer on ANY platform to date.

IamTylerDurden13103d ago

So pretty.

Hey more importantly the 2 new free DLCs gave us new tours, trophies, and new super bikes ftom Erik Buell Racing. New free liveries also.

I'm loving Driveclub Bikes.

rezzah3103d ago

I wish they revealed a better angle and with bright sun light. Still great to see their dedication to their game, which is largely unmatched in the console department.

IRetrouk3103d ago

i love that they keep adding to this game, all the extra work thats been done could have been kept for num 2, never seen a game get turned around so much in my 20 plus years of gaming.

IamTylerDurden13103d ago

I agree, everything they've added including the Bikes expansion would've been more than enough for a full fledged $60 sequel. Incredible.

IRetrouk3103d ago

yeah they have went above and beyond what the fans have asked from them, have not played bikes yet but am thinking i should probably get it for myself for xmas lol

corroios3103d ago

Its truly strange this kind of evolution on one game!! very nice indeed.

I dont know how GT can outperform DC. The bar is set so high.

IRetrouk3103d ago (Edited 3103d ago )

i think gt will be fine, but lets not forget that gt will be running at 60fps and have a lot more going on on the physics side of things, lol lucky for me i like ALL types of racing games. so the visuals may take a hit in gt compared to dc just because of the extra grunt needed for a smooth 60fps with all those physics being thrown around.

corroios3103d ago

Yeah to get 60 frames wiht GT graphics it will be hard, but lets wait and see.

NovaCorps3103d ago

all i ask for gran turismo is finally they add realistic car damage its all gt needs
ppl ask this since gt4

60FPS on PS5: Unofficial PS5 'FPS Boost' mods are radically improving PS4 back compat

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.

Psychonaut85139d ago

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?

dveio139d ago (Edited 139d ago )

"but is it really that hard for developers to unlock the framerate?"

I guess it's not.

But it has become a profitable business if you do so.

So no one would pay for only the framerate patched to being unlocked. So studios need to offer more than that.

But this would take more time, polishing and would cost more money. So they shy away, but won't unlock the framerate, either.

That's just my personal assumption. But from what I can comprehend technically, it shouldn't be difficult to unlock framerates via a patch for older games.

... if it hadn't became a business.

RaidenBlack139d ago (Edited 139d ago )

frame-rate unlock should be free ...
We've seen many devs offer free patches and updates to pretty old PC titles, even bonuses ... so why can't devs offer the frame unlock patch for free (in consultation with the platform-producers) for a title from just a generation earlier?

Einhander1972139d ago

RaidenBlack

"frame-rate unlock should be free ..."

Obviously the result of that thinking is that developers aren't even going to do it.

If they had been allowed to charge $5-10 you would see incentivized developers doing it way more often.

People just always want everything for free, but it's not free to make the patch, people have to code it then other people have to test it, and there will always be other costs involved.

If people want dollar store gaming then expect to get what you pay for.

shinoff2183138d ago (Edited 138d ago )

Raiden I might be wrong but last I thought it cost money to put patches out on consoles.

As far as me paying for it, I'm not all that interested tbh. Not enough to pay for it with older games, and newer games have been pretty decent about it for the most part.

dumahim139d ago

Sounds like the modder has to go in to make changes to unlock it on a game by game basis. "Simple" enough to do it unofficially, but to have it done officially, they need someone to go in a make that change, put out a patch and put it through certification, which I believe is not necessarily a cheap thing to do. It's questionable if going through this would then give them enough sales to make it worthwhile.

Inverno139d ago

Many games still have physics tied to framerate, i think it's cause they wouldn't want to go in and do anything extra. Then there's the 10 dollar upgrades they rather charge. The problem is that there's no compromise, cause if I could mod my PS4 and all I'd lose is online play then id jailbreak it immediately. Mods have done so much for PC games and they could do the same for consoles, but manufacturers hafto be willing to compromise.

shinoff2183138d ago

It's not to hard to do and there's youtube videos that break it down really well. ANyway most of us here arent able to break are console anyway due to being up to date on firmware from playing

Chocoburger139d ago

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.

Jin_Sakai139d ago

It should be a sin to let these games sit and be stuck at 30fps.

EazyC139d ago

RDR 2 not getting a 60FPS patch for PS5 was a crime.

Are there even more than 20?

purple1011240d ago

i went to the article and theres only a couple racing games, cant find the button to move page on through all the adverts.

purple1011240d ago

ah its changed to a video now, strange, but il take it

Dfooster1239d ago

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.
