| sasquatchmontana said: For one, the pre-launch reviews of both DC and MCC mentioned no online issues. I read one review of DC that mentioned the online issues...3 weeks after launch. Both Driveclub and TMCC, launch day were reviewed on the basis that their online worked correctly as these issues evidently did not occur for reviewers. Driveclubs launch day meta is based on it working correctly. It was low because the game pretty much missed some glaringly obvious staples, which for any modern racing game is a big no-no Aiming for 60fps? Released at 30fps. Zero splitscreen. Hyped up weather? No weather. No replay? What is this 1996? Content lite. Yeah, last time I saw a racer with 5 tracks it was on Sega Saturn. There's barely any game. A 12 month delay and the the whole game reeks of simply being a small scale game, shoved onto a disc because maybe Sony didn't have enough retail exclusives. Now I think it's perfectly fine if you don't want to make an open world racer, but you should be at least 60fps (Especially since Forza was doing it a year earlier witth 50% less power right?) and if you're not 60fps , you should be a looker at 30fps
I mean, i'm used to this from my 30fps racers
Freaking PGR4 from 7 years ago. 7 YEARS!!!! 2700 days difference. Split-screen? Check. Free-roam mode? Check. Lacking in content? Hell no. Weather? Day 1. Photomode and replay? You bet your ass. And if you're not a looker, you should have a game with content and local multiplayer. And if you got little content, you should at least have a fun game. Driveclubs gameplay is unremarkable. And the bare minimum you should have a god-damned replay in a freaking racing game. Seriously? -snip- |
Are you really trying to imply that DC wasn't graphically impressive? :p To the point you use PGR4 as a reference? Because no matter how you try to present that claim, i think you'll find yourself in a minority. The weather effects in particular were outright stunning.
You don't have to personally think it looks as nice as many of us do, but comparisons like these are more likely to make people think your argument is born from a bias rather than objective thought (not saying that's the case here, but it's the impression such comparisons will give people).
