you got to be joking. Look at the people giving it a zero in the reviews. 8 of the 30 "user" reviews have given it a zero. The game isn't even released yet so it's obvious these haven't played it and even if they did it's obviously nowhere near a zero game. 

Hell, one of the zer scores are from a guy called Eresuntrollaco. Go figure. I reckon it will be an 8/10 racer and if you've PS plus it's good value whether you only take that edition or the upgrade. 

But I doubt you even have a PS4 and just posted so you could mention FH2. 

so you have played it then?  dont you see a little bit of irony in your post?

the last sentence isnt required.

i played it enough at EGX to know it's not a 0/10 and even if I didn't I think it's obvious. Why are you even defending xbox fanboys on metacritic giving it a 0/10? No need to answer that it's a rhetorical question. 

I'm not defending them, they are idiots.

But I cant condone your 8 either.  You havent played it enough to gove a score.

We see it over and over again from all sides here.  If a game gets good reviews (user or professional) then they are paraded loud and proud... bad reviews are biased garbage.  Its all very silly.


Here i have the game


Am i allowed to give a first look review?
I played it for around 20 hours now - Probably longer than most reviewers did.
I hope we all remember those awesome reviewers saying GT5 didn't have a damage model and stuff just cause it got unlocked a few hours into the game to give people the time to learn how to drive ;)

The game is currently a solid 7,5-8

+ Graphics
Without any competition the game is currently the most beautiful game on consoles and by far the most beautiful racing game.
Project Cars on PC is the only thing coming close but it doesn't even have a chance against DriveClub if you compare the environment and stuff.
The graphics will get even better once the cloud drops the patch with the weather stuff :D
This game will surely stay the most beautiful racing game on consoles for a long long time.

+ Sound
Untouched in the racing genre.
I unlocked a couple of the later cars and they sound amazing.
People saying the engine sounds are weak clearly didn't play the game long enough.
OMG a VW Beetle doesn't sound like a Ferrari...garbage game tztzt ~.~

+ Feel of Speed
Especially if you play with the cockpit View this just feels insane once you unlock the faster cars.

+ Driving is fun
It is really something like a Simcade - Looks easy to learn but is hard to master.There is a lot of depth into it.
This will surely get interesting online.So far now i would say its 60% Arcade and 40% "Realism"

+ AI
Damn aggressive later on.They know they aren't real and try to kill you and themself hahaha

Now the minus points

- (Singleplayer) Content
Absolute shit.
Not many events.Most consist of "challenges" inside of those events.Reach a certain speed,finish top3 and so on.Doing one of those challenges earns you a medal after the race and earning more medals unlocks the next one.
The big racing events consist of 2-3 races in a row with each having its own challenges with a bigger goal standing over them.If you fail Race 2 you have to redo the whole competition.Kinda annoying cause later on the AI gets aggressive and can f*** you over.

I just did one MP match in the time i had the game and the people drive like you would them expect to do.
Bumping into each other and stuff.Nothing new.
You need to have luck or create premade groups with people that are willing to actually drive.
Today the Servers were down the whole time - To many players trying to get in as it seems.Evo didn't expect that probably.

The game is currently a 7,5-8 for me and will get upgraded a 0,5-1 depending on how well the weather stuff is actually done and how much the season pass will add over time.
But DriveClub is surely the Racing Game to have in this year.
