In a declining genre where open world sandbox gameplay comes as standard with virtually every racing title, it actually feels rather refreshing to return to a classic track-based game like DriveClub.

and to think,.. only last year when forza 5 was launching track based games were still cool.  it's funny how cyclic these things are.  i wouldn't be surprised if by next year when forza 6 is releasing no one will give a shit about open world racers again.

Wasn't really my take away, I think they appreciate open world just as much as the next person, but they also appreciate the classic style as well and hadn't played much of them in some time.  There's more than enough room for both, imo.  No need to completely shift to one style or another.

I also don't think games should be marked down or dinged for being one style or the other, either.  Each has merits as long as how its implemented and carried out are quality.  DC had a really rough start, but it looks like Evolution has done right by the game (finally).  Hopefully they launch the PS+ edition soon, so that people can get their hands on it for themselves.
