Pushing the PS4's Capabilities With Driveclub

Can wait for midnight to play it! I'm so happy I bought a PS4 instead of a Xbox One! Wohooo!!!

Pushing it to the limits? With 11 tracks and TEN cars at launch? Smells like a staunch DLC ripoff, far worse than Forza 5 ever was.

Not liking the sound of the headline tbf. Surely the ps4 capabilities ain't been pushed t the limit after 1 yr

The thing I'm looking forward to the most is racing in the rain, don't ask me why, but I love rain in games. I'm also looking forward to driving around in the snow night, I seen a brief clip of the snow effects in action earlier, omg its beautiful.

I love how Drive Clubs world is alive, wind blows the fully-3Dclouds which effects the lighting/the sun, when the sun hits your wind-shield the light will scatter through the dirt you've accumulated whilst driving around, all manner of wild life are running/flying around, a certain stage has 1.2million trees in the background, each one unique and separate from eachother.

I don't believe we've ever seen this level of detail in a game, I can't wait!

I dont know, consoles are just not capable of the full package in racing games ... graphics, AI, physics

I wish devs would try to push the limits on PCs for ones

u need to watch this and compare, at least graphicaly ... its simply done by editing the config files of that game, no extra soft- or hardware - something the devs get their money for normaly ...

at the end is an awesome crash, u will never see soemthing like this on a console in the next 4 years

This game looks amazing but i am not happy with the kind of steering wheels available on sony / mcrosoft platform this gen i heard quality issues with thrustmaster and logitec had quit the console market. i am thinking of building a PC Rig for driving games with my g27 wheel. As for plug and play gaming i may buy xbox1 or ps4 so not really happy with all the exclusive racing games like driveclub or forza this gen.

Game looks good, very photorealistic. Can't wait to try it out the PSN version on the 8th. Hope it controls well.

The jealousy is palpable in here.

i just hope this one plays as good as it looks, it'll be a longtime before we get Gran Turismo and the Crew ai'nt looking so hot.

So many insecure Forza fanboys/xbots hahahah

Comparing this game and Forza Horizon 2 is just stupid. The two games are completely different! You could compare release dates, which FH2 would win; and you could compare graphics, which DC would win.

But in the end the two games play very different.

With the push for realism and high graphic fidelity in this game, the interior view looks like someone is using mannequin arms to drive. They could have done better in that regard.

Too many crazies not enough explaining, this comment section is loaded with lots of folks who do not understand how things worked and always have. The fact you guys are focusing on pushing the limits have no idea what you are even listening to. Everything has limits as you have no idea what it can handle since it's relatively new, when you lift weights you have a limit you can lift correct? What happens when you keep at it, you past the limit you had. Same thing with technology, it has inherent limits and absolute limits. Right now they are speaking about inherent limits as it's new and they are still learning about it, so it's limited since they have yet to maximize the console fully.

It's still a limit to what they can get at the time, now shut up about it.

Anyway, this game looks very pretty. I was not really convinced about it, but the more they kept speaking about the more I realized that they were shooting for immersion. He mentioned trees swaying, wind picking up, never actually experiencing the same conditions. Things like this belong in games like GT and Forza and PCars yet these game have ZERO atmosphere. If anything this game is laying a challenge, in your race setting at least build the game to reflect what you are trying to convey. Being a hardcore sim shouldn't mean that you have great physics, pretty cars and lifeless environments with no sort of presence...they all do it. Go to a race track like Silverstone in any of those sims and does it ever reflect what it looks like at Silverstone at a GT3 race?

Figure out what you are even arguing about, some of you guys are just plain ridiculous only following your favorite system and downing a game because it's not up to your mythical standards that you developed after playing a rival game on your favorite own system.

@honestatheist21 @UNCStriker88

You Sony fans are colossal morons. Forza Horizon 2 runs at 1080p 30FPS. How long can you keep using this insult when it's not necessarily true for all games? You're just another reality denier.

What a tired and meaningless phrase. A PS4, just like a PC, has a limit to it's graphical and processing power. How can you push it's capabilities? Do you mean make full of the PS4, because you can't push the system beyond its limits. I hate this phrase, because it seems to appear every time a new graphically intensive game comes out. It's becoming hackneyed.

Pushing the limits???? Of the current understood abilities of the system perhaps. Anyone remember the PS1 lauch game Ridge Racer?...... what about the Final Fantasy and Gran Turismo series towards the end of the life cycle of the console?

I think to be throwing around such comments at this stage is hilarious!

@ima_flyguy really? i havent encounter this yet. which maps have you notice this on?

Not gonna lie it looks good but not sure if the game play is gonna be as good .. On top of that I was kinda looking forward into more of a open world racing game anyways so i think im gonna have to wait for TC in November

Really! We're pushing the system? We're PUSHING THE SYSTEM that hasn't been out for a year. The PS3 didn't get pushed by anything other than MGS, TLOS and GTA5, yet drive club is pushing gta on first year of release? TRUEEE

I disagree they are pushing the envelope of the Ps4. From the actual play videos I have watched I am not that impressed. They are pushing their capabilities of what they know, not of what is actually possible. I have Forz a Horizon 2 and that looks as good at 1080 30fps and has more open world off road instead of being confined to tracks on rails play and sterile enviornments- such as desert and apline snow which should not be taxing on the graphic capabilities - like Driveclub. So if the lowly x1 can do this with the right programmers, then the mighty Ps4 should be capable of more than this. I call bs.

@honestatheist21 @UNCStriker88 I do believe Forza 5 and Forza Horizon 2 are 1080p, one is 60fps the latter is 30fps

@honestatheist21 @UNCStriker88 I sure hope you're not an adult. I bought an x1 because the exclusives are what I want to play. I don't buy a system because it's outselling another one. That's what sheeple do. Overpriced? Well I got mine with a free game. So I got a good deal for a system that has the games I want and the x1 controller is fantastic. I made an informed and logical choice instead of listening to raving nutcases. I feel sorry for people like you because you're missing out with your narrow minded thinking.

@honestatheist21 @UNCStriker88 None of which matters even slightly when playing the game. Destiny is a fantastic looking game and boring as f*ck. There is more to a game than just the visuals and there is more to a console as a result than the horsepower inside it.

I'll get the free PS+ version and let the game speak for itself thanks. You can't get more biased than the opinion of the people who made the game.

Grid Autosport cough cough....

Good!! And it. comes with white bundle ps4 can't wait !!!

Well apparently, this looks greaaaat!

Friendly reminder that DriveClub has 55 cars, none of which are Japanese or American. The game is a glorified tech demo.

All that and it works! Forza is a crashy, buggy mess thanks to X1 inferior ddr3 ram being to slow to keep up with the transitions.

Horizon 2 isn't open world you can go off the road but you still follow a rout it's still a race cutting over a field or taking a shortcut in a racer isn't open world and isn't anything new.
