Game Info

Driveclub is a next generation, socially connected racing game that captures the heart and soul of car culture and the passion it creates. Driveclub is a game to play in real clubs. It's about friendships and rivalries and team-based racing, together in the world's best supercars on the world's most breath-taking roads - all rendered in cutting edge next generation graphics.

 

Sony’s Evolution Studios revealed today it is working on a new social driving game called Drive Club for the PlayStation 4.

 

Matt Southern, the head of the studio that made the MotorStorm PlayStation 3 games, announced Drive Club at Sony’s PlayStation Meeting in New York. He said his studio came up with the idea 10 years ago and waited for the hardware that could do it justice. The kind of networking technology to do a game like this couldn’t be done, Southern implied, until the PS 4.

 

Drive Club introduces the idea of social driving, where you can form a club of drivers that you play with on a regular basis, much as you do in joining a clan for a first-person shooter like Call of Duty: Black Ops II.

 

 

In Drive Club, you create your car, drive it on tracks, and post your scores. But you can also create a challenge, where you pick the track, the time of day, the weather, and other driving conditions. Then you issue the challenge and ask your friends to race on the track. They can play it asynchronously, on different timetables, or live.

 

“You can drive in real clubs, asynchronously or in real time against other clubs all around the world,” he said. “Watch the drama unfold as others try to meet my challenge,” whether 1-on-1 or in tournaments with thousands of players.

 

The technology to pull this off, with high-fidelity graphics that make the racing experience as close to real life as possible, means that “we’ve gone borderline insane,” Southern said.

I thought when I first saw it during the presentation that it was a good idea. Having driving clubs you can be a part of could make this really competitive. Quite honestly, it makes me think of Initial D.

day 1



After seeing this it makes me worry about gt6. I'll still be getting GT6 but they really need to step their game up because this game has peak my interest. Also depends on if this is an arcade racer or sim.

wonder how ethomaz feels about this



LOOKS BETTER THAN GT5!!!!!!!!! ;)



The only problem I see with this game... it is not Gran Turismo.

Anyway the rumors are right again... some company was working in a racing game exclusive for PS4 not GT related (VG247).



For while the new PS4 owners need to play this game while this man works.

Epic conference is EPIC!!! The other Kaz.



I've never really been big into racers. For whatever reason I just couldn't get into em, never really tried though to be honest. A few days ago I decided, I'm going to try out GT6 with the PS4 and see if I like it. Then I see this it's pretty cool, though now i'll have to choose between the two.

Or if I really like one, then I can buy the other. Hurray for options lol.
