DriveClub by Evolution Studios [PS4]

[Rys]

The thing that triggered me to get it, other than a desire to get my first next-gen console (I always end up with everything in a generation in the end), was the comments that it feels like PGR. While I love sim racing, PGR4 has been my most enjoyable driving game in the last decade.

Looking forward to seeing it in person, the visuals look pretty spectacular in places and it looks like a fun game to get me started on my adventure with this new generation of tech.

There are some spectacular parts to see and the game itself is very fun, but I just can't believe they decided to leave most of the game as a greyed out environment. Especially now that London is going grey? I don't need any more grey in my life!

Well, it's not like you can't setup your own race though if you need some sun.

if you need some sun.

Or a lot of it

Yeah but I'm still going through the tour where you can't select anything. Single races for me are just training grounds so far.
I don't know, the whole game seems to be very unsaturated. Even the menus are a dead red colour...
Or maybe I'm depressed and I can't see properly.
In some weather conditions the whole bloody thing is just grey! And lifeless! The Scotland tracks are SO depressing. Yes it's realistic but come on!!

Finally got my last star with 7400 points on the Pagani drift race.

My advice for the hardest drift races, be patient, learn to better control the cars by doing all the others SP races before, and don't insist too much on one specific drift race.

My best scores were often the first tries.

Try India

Yes it's realistic but come on!!

And we always wanted more reality from games. Now, when we get closer, we start to complain and demand a tale

 

[London Geezer]

Well it's so overcast that sometimes I can't even see te colour of the green/red flags until I'm very close. After a few rounds I'll remember what they are as I'll remember them but still....
I firmly believe that I'd have a lot more fun if it didn't feel like I was driving at 5pm in English country roads on a cloudy Wednesday, trying to get home after a whole day at work. Depresh!

Make sure you have proper rgb range set up on both tv and ps4.

 

[Karamazov]

difference in colors between sun and cloudy is pretty big, juste like in real life.
Here are two pics taken at only a few seconds interval.

Don't worry, every other game or movie looks just fine. It's only Driveclub that made me want to self harm from all the greyness.

Then skip the Scotland events

Grey? Have you seen India?

Finally picked up a PS4 (well, I pick it up today!) and I grabbed DriveClub as my first game. I'm wondering what the single player offline experience is like, given the online multiplayer issues being experienced at the moment.

It starts a bit slow...but it really picks up and gives a fantastic experience. Just finished the Legend Trophy...9/9 stars

Join a good high level club. This unlocks some good cars which makes the latter challenges a bit easier (thanks Arwin's club!!).

SP is really great. I like also the small online challenges that pop up. Speed in the last events is insane! Venom hot lap is difficult to 3-star imo...

Nice! I finished all events now and have 201/225 stars...the drifts are really challenging, but also some high speed traps.

Btw, you are quite fast you bastard!!

I did say 'most' of the game, there are colourful parts, of course.

 

[Karamazov]

i'd say every environment in the game can be gray or colorful depending on the lighting conditions.

Nice shots.

For some reason I feel that the PS+ edition is canceled. The november list of free games dont list it either
