So its a average racing game, not sure how that will make it sony's biggest commercial fail.

Looking the scores it is good but not great... there is 6 average scores out of 27 in meta.

The main good scores are coming from playstation centric sites. This game is getting average scores from notable review sites.

So driveclub is Sony's biggest commercial fail of the PS4 on that we can all agree with.
Evolution might have optimized the basics and by far most important aspects of a racegame but it doesn't appeal to the masses who want the 200 cars and don't care if the only spec that matters in which class the car belongs to act in a certain way and whether it is FWD or RWD. Neither do the masses care if the lighting looks realistic and if each detail is implanted in a car.

Dear Sony you just waste a shitload of money since many people won't even try out the PS+ version with these reviews. Which is a shame since it is basically almost the perfect spiritual successor of PGR, and the things that matter are very well executed

I haven't seen sales figures yet so how can anyone agree it's a commercial failure?


Well a game with not many appealing reviews and not to much preorders, since many cancelled their pre order after the delay was anounced, are not going to bode to well for the game's legs. In it's final week only 2k preorders where added so that doesn't bode to well either.

And I said biggest commercial fail on PS4 not all playstations, which isn't that hard to acomplish since Driveclub has to sell over 1.5 million units. Which without legs would be nearly impossible, look how long infamous strugles to get to two million, which is a popular franchise. Seeing a new critical mediocre franchise do better is not likely, a bit like knack but without the Launch hype.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

So you say that COD was and is lacking in the same way Destiny is lacking and it will get away with this like it did before? I know this thread is slightly turning into a "we don't trust reviewers anymore" direction but seriously, this is way too exaggerating.

Ghosts lacks way more than Destiny for anything you trying to say.


This only happens if you compare games that aren't to be compared.

GameTrailers 86
Eurogamer Portugal 80
Eurogamer Italy 80
TheSixthAxis 80
VideoGamer 80
GamesRadar 80
IGN 79
Game Informer 78
Destructoid 75
Polygon 75

All good scores.

The only big to give average scores were: Joystiq, Eurogamer and GameSpot.

PS. I didn't listed any PS centric site... crazy, no?

Clearly this game should've been open-world. tut tut

I think you forget the PS+ version. I don't know how this will turn out, but if the game is good for the players, they will buy the complete version. And I think a lot of PS+ players will download the PS+ version of DC, so it could do well if there is a good ratio Upgrade/PS+ version.

I really hope the media sticks to their more cynical review scheme. 80% of the games from last gen have inflated scores.

But gamers here thinks 7-8 are average scores

I have this same conversation last week and people tried to say Destiny 78 is average lol
