I never got the hype for this game.

Killzone/Knack/BF4/Warframe will be the launch PS4 games I'll be playing until Infamous. Might pick up Ass Creed 4 for cheap.

i heard it's just the arcade mode? good luck getting a girlfriend without being able to show off your fuel mixture skills.

i actually set my dad up with this on my computer when he was around in the summer, he was down to the point that he even bought himself a piece of shit $15 joystick which didn't work. now he's talking about getting a new computer.

it's a luke/vader thing. when i was a kid he was all about flight sims, tie fighter and rollercoaster tycoon. then he got old and became a bloated IAP whale, stabbing at his ipad with joyless abandon. he lost a few pounds recently so i'm hoping to use his self improvement kick to turn him back from the dark side.

Yep.  I learned my lesson from Ass Creed 3.  The more I saw of Watch Dogs the more I realized that Ubisoft hasn't really changed its tired ass formula for sandbox games.

Yeah same here -- traded in a buncha stuff at Gamestop when they were doing that crazy summer deal (I traded in my 360 for $280 which was insane!) so no regrets, although that launch lineup is looking pretty damn dry.

The Paris based publisher initially expected to make $1.94 billion by the end of the fiscal year in April 2014, but now believes that figure will arrive at $1.38 billion. This means that both delays have pulled revenue expectations by $560 million.

Further dismay was triggered among investors when the corporation issued a warning that it no longer believes it will be profitable this financial year. It previously expected a 12-month profit of about $236 million, and on Tuesday told investors it will actually lose about $88 million.

I don't see what the difference is, really. They ain't coming off the price in 6 months, or even a year from now. You can pay your $400 now, and play a few games over the next few months until the library builds up, or you can pay your $400 next Fall and also have to come up with the money for several games on top of that.

There's always the possibility of future bundles or other deals.  I mean, if I had slightly more self-control, I would've saved ~$100 on my Wii U purchase between the $50 price drop and Wind Waker pack in.  Although that's a case where the system had nothing for 10 months following launch.  But ultimately I agree (unless you're planning on buying both consoles at launch).

It will be interesting to see how KI turns out with the download model that they are using.  But only having six characters at launch and ONE playable with the F2P version is a complete fucking joke.

Sure, and if the screens I saw are really PS4, you can also laugh at it looking almost no different.    I don't have a problem with that, but LOL at it being $60.  It should be a $40 title.

Post by: Bebpo on October 16, 2013, 04:59:38 PM
I'm kind of surprised how many people don't care about Drive Club, it was the only launch game I cared about :(


PGR was my favorite racing game series and after MS killed Bizarre I looked forward to where the staff would land and their new arcade racers.  Some went to Playground Games and made Forza Horizon, which I tried to like, but really the game sucked because it was an arcade racer brought down by Forza's too-sim-even-on-arcade-settings physics/handling.  Others went to Evolution along with almost the ENTIRE Wipeout team and the result is...Driveclub, which I'm damned curious to play and see if it'll give me that PGR arcade racing fix I've been missing since PGR4 (my favorite racer last gen).

Motorstorm team (eh, they're ok; first game was crap but 2nd game was a good arcade racer) + Wipeout Team (legendary staffers) + Good chunk of Bizarre Creations (great staff) = potential for a really damn good arcade racing studio. 

So I'm actually ok with them getting more time since it means the game won't be a half-baked tech demo like PGR3, maybe.  But it still sucks there's nothing disc-based at launch on PS4 that's decent besides maybe Killzone & Knack & NBA2K4 & Battlefield 4 (which is also on PC).  Then nothing until Feb with Infamous.

But yeah, no one really cares about Driveclub except for system propping or system trolling purposes which is lame since it's potentially a big fucking deal in the arcade racing genre that's really gone to shit lately.  Last set of good arcade racers were NFS HP & Split/Second.  Black Rock studios = dead; Studio Liverpool = dead; Bizarre Creations = dead; Criterion = stuck doing NFS games and last one was a shitty C+ version of Burnout Paradise; F-Zero = Dead; Ridge Racer = Dead?; Forza/GT = boring simsville zzzzz; It's gotten really, really bad for one of my favorite genre, so goddamn I am sticking onto Driveclub like the last bastion of hope until I play it.  Hands-on impressions have mostly been pretty positive citing good arcade handling and a system similar to Kudos of PGR.  /Fingers crossed.

A much better game than KI has any chance of being. 5 years from now people will look back at a near-forgotten early gen game like KI and laugh at the shit they use to play because it was launch :neogaf

Lol what? KI is awesome. I laughed when they first revealed it at E3, but it's actually been one of the real turnarounds for me, I got to play a lot of KI recently and it's going to be one of the bigger surprises of the X1 launch.very solid game certainly better than Injustice.

KI has always sucked.  No reason to see this as different.

And you base this on an unfinished build of the game with what...two playable characters?  Versus Injustice, which very recently got a massive almost-1GB update patch with tons of changes?   :gurl

Different developer this time, but at the same time, one that definitely needs to prove themselves.  I'm not gonna dismiss the game without playing it.  What brings it way down for me is the way the release is being handled.  I need more than six characters at release.  That's awful.  I'm amazed there are people ready to go drop $750+ on an Xbone, fightstick, and the game, too.

I'm kind of surprised how many people don't care about Drive Club, it was the only launch game I cared about :(

Motorstorm team (eh, they're ok; first game was crap but 2nd game was a good arcade racer) + Wipeout Team (legendary staffers) + Good chunk of Bizarre Creations (great staff) = potential for a really damn good arcade racing studio.

Was never that big a fan of Wipeout (a sin, I know) or Bizarre's games.  Motorstorm fell off quick.

But yeah, no one really cares about Driveclub except for system propping or system trolling purposes which is lame since it's potentially a big fucking deal in the arcade racing genre that's really gone to shit lately.  Last set of good arcade racers were NFS HP & Split/Second.  Black Rock studios = dead; Studio Liverpool = dead; Bizarre Creations = dead; Criterion = stuck doing NFS games and last one was a shitty C+ version of Burnout Paradise; F-Zero = Dead; Ridge Racer = Dead?; Forza/GT = boring simsville zzzzz; It's gotten really, really bad for one of my favorite genre, so goddamn I am sticking onto Driveclub like the last bastion of hope until I play it.  Hands-on impressions have mostly been pretty positive citing good arcade handling and a system similar to Kudos of PGR.  /Fingers crossed.

A lot of those games don't come off as real 'arcade racing' games to me anyway.  The days of amazing Sega and Namco racers are sadly long gone.  The last arcade racer I really liked was Sumo Digital's Sonic Transformed.  They're pretty much the only ones keeping real arcade-style racing (with a kart twist) going.  I'm looking forward to that 90s Arcade Racer game on PC, too.

I don't care if the cars are real.  I don't want open-world design garbage.  I want crazy-ass track design and crazy speed, flashy visuals, and a good soundtrack.
