Forums - Sony - Evolution Was Asked by Sony to “Come Up With Another New IP” for PS4 Launch, Created DriveClub

I think that's a pretty great analysis as to the mindset of people moving from racer to shooter. Without a reward for being in 2nd vs. 12th, it can be pretty frustrating to fail.

Every propper console needs a racing game at launch. And evolution are a racing game studio what else where they suppossed to make a 2D plattformer?

why not a racing game 2D platformer?

I can see why they are making sure they cover both Racing/shooters at launch (just like MS)... these two are very popular genres for exclusive games.

Sony probably knew they couldnt get a proper next gen GT game out for launch, so why not at least launch a new IP and see how it does. I suspect in about 2-3 years we'll get a proper next gen GT.

One of the biggest problems Sony has with DriveClub right now, is that people will not pre-order it because people are unsure what they are getting from PS+. So i've gone with BFlag, Killzone, Battlefield4 and WatchDogs right now, but why put £40+ down on Driveclub when i already have PS+ and will get some kind of DClub version with that.

It may affect sales - certainly in the short term for the game.

unless sony puts it on big letters or the retailers make them aware of it (which I highly doubt). The casual won't know about that.

I'll support the game with a download :P. Good thing this is coming with my PS+. Though I might have given it a chance.

Wish there was a launch fighting game. Do wanna play DriveClub, though.

2D platformer, but I'm pretty sure someone's already working on that.  Sumo Digital, probably.  What the PS4 needs is a JRPG that is awesome.  Heck, give me any RPG and I'll take it. 

Yeah sure a game from a dead genre will cerainly push the PS4 on top


After all, undead genre games and gamers pushed teh undead portable not to the top, but to a respectable 79.5M

The PS3 had  an exclusive Ridge Racer for launch, it didn't need Gran Turismo. ;)

I mean 6. I mean, Sony has a top class racing game THEY OWN available for the PS4 launch. One that relies heavily on having the best graphics available. And they didn't even bother to use it.

Well, whatever the case, these guys are my only hope for more Wipeout and the dream of a new Rollcage, since Sony closed Psygnosis/studio liverpool.
I dont wish them too much sucess or they wont do anything else. Sony already has Gran turismo.

You obviously have insight into the development process of polyphony Digital, so please explain why it is comming to the PS3. My theory is that when the started working on it the PS4 dev kits where not available. But please enlighten me
