I don't think the release of DriveClub has anything to do with Forza: http://www.vg247.com/2013/05/08/driveclub-to-be-one-of-the-biggest-titles-for-sony-from-a-dlc-perspective/

but it's a stupid comparison. both games are totally different to me. I amcurious how both will look and perform though. dc has to be graphically waybetter than forza.

My guesswork...

Sony: We need some game to face next Forza
PD: We are comminted to release a GT game after the GT6 on PS3
Sony: We need a game to launch with the console
Sony: Evolution what are you doing?
Evo: We are doing xxx
Sony: If you hold that xxx can you make a new racing game for PS4 launch?
Evo: We can do that
Sony: This game need to have a online experience comparable to Forza because the two games will be released close
Evo: Ok sir... we do a game that can surpass the online community aspect of Forza

We can spin or create another histories to fit (like my guesswork) but the fact is #DRIVECLUB will compete with Forza 5 at least in the first year of the console.

It is stupid but it won't change the fact that they will compete for at least one year.

Everybody will put both face to face at launch... the different style never stopped the GT x Need For Speed or Forza x Need For Speed comparison.

Well once they take the piss colored clouds away from Drive Club I might be able to tell if the game is good or not.

Crunchyroll is not available in my country, and the equivalent releases only on anime per season (plus they are assholes, I already told em on their FB page, that made quite some noise).

Not a problem anyway, if I'm forced to be in illegality i'll be. Crunchyroll would not have existed without fansub anyway.

Well I predict Forza 5 will have a higher meta-critic and sell more than DriveClub.

I already predicted #DriveClub to sell more than Forza 5 in another thread I have faith

If Sony were to include PS Plus sales then i couldn't really see that happening.

Oh nevermind.
