DRIVECLUB GAMEPLAY APRT 1 PS4

I found it to be strangely stiff, regardless of the vehicle. With the focus on driving, and not building any kind of narrative or career, one might expect the actual driving to be a bit better. Granted, this progression focuses your driving on an increasingly difficult set of events but it also strips any kind of personal preference from the proceedings. Worse, there’s no choice when it comes to unlocking cars - it’s all a linear progression: the next car will be given to you when you level up. There is no tuning, tire changes, or customization beyond simple paint jobs. I was disappointed by the lack of options. Unlike its peers, though, Driveclub seems stuck in a previous era where driving is the sole focus (or feature) of the game. Unfortunately, looking at just the single player options won’t inspire additional confidence.ĭriveclub's devotion to driving is clear from the opening, and, like Forza and Gran Tourismo, touts the beauty and majesty of the automobile.

When a game puts all of its eggs into the online basket, there’s room for a huge debacle, leaving gamers with nothing but a shell of a $60 game (see SimCity, 2013).ĭriveclub isn’t quite as bad as EA’s City Builder, but inconsistent online functionality have plagued the first “serious” racing game on PS4 and left some users feeling cheated. Usually, it works by creating immersive, innovative and unique experiences.īut other times it doesn’t. In the years since, I’ve watched online gameplay go from a novelty, to alternate play modes, to the core feature of both games and consoles. My first online gaming experience was playing a remote user in NFL 2K1 on my Dreamcast.
