Basically this is Forza Horizon for PS4.
Which is not a bad idea.

Those pics look A LOT like the Swiss Alps in Forza 4. I really hope this is a good game.

Seeing GT5's long development and outdated cars that were new when the game was revealed and had not so many DLC additions I do not think delaying the game another year just to put all the cars in the game is good business. And the end result still had a stale amount of cars post 2010. A new Single player structure DLC would have been better. I'd pay $10 for a better experience without needing to wait 3-4 years for the next game.

To Call Driveclub a cash cow is ridiculous. I like the idea of extending the content post launch, pretty much common practice.

I agree. DLC is only a good thing. If you don't like it, don't buy it. If you don't think the game is worth the money without the DLC, don't buy it.

I think for a racing SERIES as well, car and track DLC is important even if it's not selling. It's advertising what will likely be available in the next game. You can buy it and get in early, or you can wait and you'll probably get access in the next game. Forza DLC lets me see what a lot of the new cars in FM5 will be, and that's exciting even when I'm not buying it.

Where did you find these pics ?

Several new screens were released yesterday. The drip feeding well hopefully continue until E3.

Nice, im getting more excited about this game after hearing its open world. I hope there will be customization, atleast like Rims and such

I'm lost. Where did you hear that?

 

[LaBounti]

I'm guessing the locations are open roads like Hot Pursuit, not Test Drive Unlimited open roads.

The game looks amazing but the cockpit view has no sense of speed.

That has to be the dummest reply one can use in a discussion about dlc. (Sorry its your post I picked) No your not forced to buy it, unless you want the WHOLE game. You dont need two parents to raise a child, but that doesnt make it a good idea.

When a game comes with the DLC on the dvd when shipped its a cheap money grab plan and simple.

Nope, the dumbest thing is to buy something without exactly knowing what your doing.
Want want want want want want want want want want want want want want want want want want want want want, I can no longer hear it. People do always want stuff, they always want the best and they always want to do as less as possible for it. People's expectations are ridiculous to say at least.

The following doesn't really relate to this topic, but this damn behaviour goes even so far that certain people start to flame about f2p (free to play) games. Really? REALLY?

Oh you want to play a whole game, I feel so sorry. Let's go a bit further: Why would you need a PS3 at all? Isn't the PSN Plus service about the same? You don't want to complain about users who pay for the plus service get more content? No? If you go and buy a, just as example, remote control which doesn't include batteries. Do you go to the store owners and complain about the product not having batteries included although it's written on the product that it does not include any? Why not buying another one which does have batteries or simply buying nothing? Ahh, because you WAAAAAAANT!

Dumbest reply...

Please tell me what your profession is, I'm sure I can give you some wonderful examples why your mentality doesn't work the other way round, when YOU are affected. It's easy to take, hard to give.

You dont need two parents to raise a child, but that doesnt make it a good idea.

Damn, this sounds so intellectual, but how does it relate to the topic? Two parent's... ehh you want one thing and complain about having two (game and dlc), so you actually want only one universal thing. Basically one neutral parent which plays the role of mother and father... Woah! You just refuted your own statement.
Anyhow, while it doesn't need two parents to raise a child, it very much needs two to conceive a child. You know what? I don't like this idiom at all.

No, it happens to be true. The option to by DLC is just that, its an option. As such its not dumb at all, you may disagree with it but you may want to temper you tone in future.

👍

That very much depends on the nature of the game and the DLC.

👍

And sometimes its a better idea, that very much depends on the circumstances.

👍

Which is not universally true and as such is not a reason to dismiss all DLC.

See it as how it's done with several PC software distributions. Many of them come as full priced standard version with the option to unlock all (professional/advanced) features by buying the more expensive pro version key. Or look at how shareware works, it's free to use in a limited functionality (time, limited functions, adds, etc), but it gives the option to buy a key for the unrestricted version.

I don't get why people go ahead defending DLC schemes. There will always be people complaining because of DLC's, there will always be people complaining because of the lack of it. Everyone can have a different idea, it's very subjective.

I hate the DLC's schemes when I feel the original product sold at full price, has not enough content and publisher just want to milk users later. At the same time I understand this scheme can be very profitable if people end up buing the stuff, but we can always refuse to buy something sold in a way we don't agree with.

iRacing, for instance I hate how they sell it and I'm not buying it, period. Some people love it, good for them.
Peace.

The market is wide it give us lot of options,
I choosed to play rFactor / GT5 / F1 CE until Assetto Corsa / Project CARS / rFactor 2 / RaceRoom / GT6 will be ready. I'm sure people not agreeing with Driveclub DLC scheme can find something else in the market in the near future.

I don't generally like DLCs. I was mainly questionating cupidity.

You play F1CE? Wonderful game, but very overlooked and underrated by many people. Not a hardcore sim, but with tons of fancy details and simply the whole game feels better than all codie f1 titles so far in my eyes.

Absolutely, F1 CE spoiled all the Codemasters F1's for me. Rock solid frame rate, better AA filters, challenging AI, great game. End OT/

I agree. I used to love Codemasters racing games but they went for the more arcade market which killed my interest. ToCA Race Driver 3 is one of my favorite racing games ever. F1CE is certainly more enjoyable than Codemasters efforts in my opinion.

That awkward moment when GT6 will look better on ps3 than Driveclub on ps4, lol JOKING. can't wait for both, great images Ddrizle

 

[mcfizzle]

3rd image is gorgeous. That's a road I can't wait to drive on.

 

[m8h3r]

So torn between Gran Turismo 6 and Drive Club. I want both, which means £45 for Gran Turismo 6, then £400 odd for the PS4, then another £45 for Drive Club, that's and expensive addiction to racing. Here's hoping PS4 games will be <£45 anyway.

Just get both! Haha

I know how you feel tho, the realise dates do make it slight awkward.

Oh well

Then throw in Grand Theft Auto 5 too and what was a gamers wet dream becomes a heated discussion.

Plus CoD/Battlefield end of the year is going to be pretty good!

The more I see of DriveClub the more I'm interested - That's a good sign.

We don't see engines, trunks, and whatnot in the current premium cars. If these cars showed up in GT6, we could have up to three different levels of quality (standard, premium, and "Drive Club" premium). That would never sit well with the community, so I don't think the cars are shared at all.

It doesnt necessary mean that GT6 will use DriveClub' models though. They are a generation apart after all, PS3 wouldnt probably handle those models in an in-game environment (only on an "autovista"/photo mode); but what about GT7? Or PD lending their premium, non-downscaled models to Evo?

Highly unlikely they will share anything, to be honest. Everything still comes down to licensing & agreements. Koenigsegg may have agreed to let Evolution use their cars, but that doesn't mean they will give any rights to Polyphony.

Fair enough. But that doesnt justify why Evolution wouldnt share the CLA-45 AMG, or the Pagani Huayra or any other model that PD has the license though (or vice-versa with GT models).

I can't see it honestly, even though Forza Horizon is a different game by different creators, drive cub and GT are two different developers, thus meaning contracts from manucture's are void by shareing,

Forza Horizon is developed by a different studio (just like DriveClub/GT), although it's under the same brand. And people forget that PD is a Sony subsidiary. If Sony sees fit, they will make PD and Evo share their models, simple as that.

 

[LaBounti]

I don't see Sony making PD do anything. They already allow PD to do as they please with resources and development.

GT Vision(GT4HD), GTHD(Micro-transactions? Really?), GT5 Prolouge were all bad ideas in my opinion and GT5P never should have happened.

GT6 on ps3 is a good idea IMO, but releasing 2 exclusive driving games on different consoles at the same time is strange yes. Can't wait to see more of both at E3, going to be crazy this year

Which is why I dont get the GT6/PS3 Holiday release. That was a terrible way to divide your fanbase. GT6 or PS4 sales will suffer as a result

I must choose as well, and at the moment Im heavily leaning towards Drive Club and PS4. The 3rd picture with the standing puddles on the side of the road and in the grass looks amazing. The mountains are photorealistic, much better then the GT5 Eiger track

It's not like Sony will be forcing PD to develop a FPS, just to share car models. I personally cant see why PD wouldnt do it really, but, like I said, PD is still a Sony subsidiary.

I'd be mightily annoyed if I worked for Evolution right now. Trying to establish a new game on a new console and your parent company is launching one of the biggest franchises on the current console millions already own is a sly move, IMO.

That was my thinking on this. I mean talk about being setup for faliure. There had to be some broken office furniture somewhere the other day.
