Ok Sony. Where’s the Driveclub remaster?

Drive club is a fantastic game with all the updates, it's a demanding racing game if you turn off all the assists and activate the realistic driving toggle. I don't think we will see a remaster though, and I'm ready sad about it, evolution studio is closed and what's the point of bringing a racing game focused on presenting "hyper realism" aesthetics with cars from 2014... It doesn't make sense business wise. In order to add new cars you end up on a sequel which is even more unlikely.

Forget about Bloodborne remaster, Driveclub is the real deal… I know that a lot of people doesn’t like the game, but now that Sony are the remasters masters and is my favorite racing game ever… also…

That game is never coming back. Its been completely delisted and you can't even buy the dlc anymore. It's a shame since the weather tech they used is super impressive and would work great in GT7.

That game was awesome but was absolutely poisoned for most people because of the super shit launch servers. Which I totally get considering you couldn’t do much of anything offline in the game. Driveclub VR was an absolute fucking gem.

I'm genuinely interested did you ever play the game it's a masterpiece of technology and gameplay.
look closely at the Never part and my history on Gaf.

I played this game to shit in a sim wheel set up.
Did some record breaking WR shit on the Pagani Zonda too on several maps.
I like it above GT 7 or any other racing game tbh.

it's not realistic but it's the most fun i had in racing games ever since Blur on xbox 360

Okay missed ur joke on that one, never take the time to click on profiles etc. should have seen the joke in it glad to see someone else with the appreciation for the game. Another note haven't put any time into a F1 game since F1 championship edition another masterpiece ahead of it's time.

Like I say haven't played since championship edition I believe same studio was behind it under different name and that's not using Google I could be wrong.

well it's the most hardcore game imo on consoles
 
There's only been two racing games in the last 11 years that has me over hooked for over 200 hours and they're both PS exclusives. One is GT7 since Mar 2022 and the other is beloved DriveClub from 2014, the only game that features tracks near my hometown of Coimbatore in India.

World records eh? I had some in the Ferrari FXXK in the top 10 or 20s in all maps. This is how obsessed I was with the game.

A racing game. In motion is the point of a racing game.
Fried Rice What GIF by Nigel Ng (Uncle Roger)
A heavily blurred game that runs at 30fps. It is what it is, the models and tracks look like shit it’s a fact we can admit.

No idea why we bother to compare any Forza & GT game when they’re all played in motion…
 
5 million copies sold is a flop?
2 million

Which probably didn't make back the budget the game had or it's continuing support, which is why Sony closed Evolution Studios

Sony gave Evolution a lot of time and money and Evolution refused to make racing games which ran at 60 fps after like 4 attempts so Sony gave them the axe

The bad news for you OP, is that there is a chance the next PS5 Remasters will be God of War 2018 and potentially Ratchet and Clank 2016.

The good news, is that after those two games they'll have to finally touch the franchises that they have been ignoring.

You don't get it, uh?

Sony has their people on Gaf, secretly among us. They have a checklist with all the games Sony has produced since the start. Every time someone mention a game they tick the box and fuck you, you don't get a remaster.

Look, it's pretty clear. Who asked for a remaster to TLOU1? No one, THERE YOU GO. Horizon Zero Dawn? Not a single fucking soul, HERE'S YOUR DELUXE EDITION. Days Gone? No one in their sane mind would... NO SEQUEL BUT YOU GET TO PLAY THE FIRST GAME TWICE.

Bloodborne? FUCK YOU! Driveclub? FUCK YOU! Literally anything new HERE'S YOUR HORIZON FORBIDDEN WEST REMASTERED! A new Uncharted, you say? HERE'S KNACK I AND II COLLECTION.

The problem with racing games in general are the licenses. And those cars are old by now. You also won't be able to boot up any PGR game on Series X.

What were in-game objectives in Drive club?

In Gran Turismo you earn money, upgrade cars, get licenses to access more modes, get exclusive cars etc.

Drive club?

First part is sadly true, second part is nonsense. I always played Driveclub offline and had tons of fun with the game. Despite the developers' focus on the online aspect PR-wise, it was a fully functional game without it.

I guess games are like some artists now. Games suffer from the "death effect" too it seems. Where nobody gives a shit about The Order 1886 and Driveclub when they're actually alive but everybody goes bananas about it when it's dead. Let's call the phenomenon "the twenty-7/10 Club". If you know the phenomenon in the music industry it would make sense.

No no no…average racing game.
Far rather motorstorm remasters.
Or even better, remaster evolution studios WRC games! (I know this will never happen)
