It doesn’t matter what your result of this first race is, after it wraps up you’ll be given an opportunity to join an online club, create your own club or remain a free agent.

Upon starting up Driveclub, and even before a proper menu pops up, the game tosses you into a race with a gorgeous dashboard view of the course and a full grid of CPU racers. Driveclub definitely shares some of the same MotorStorm DNA (intense, competitive high-speed action) but at the end of the day it is a unique racing game with a much different focus.

So I’m slightly bitter that MotorStorm 4 hasn’t happened yet, though I understand why Evolution and Sony went with a new IP and a new experience for the PS4 instead. Needless to say, it is interesting to see a batch of like-minded racing games all scheduled to launch within such a small window.įull disclosure – I’m a huge MotorStorm fan, and I’m fairly certain I’ve earned a gold in each and every event in all 3 PS3 releases in addition to R/C for the PS3/Vita. This is essentially why Driveclub and other similarly social-enabled racing titles exist and also why they are more compelling than a strictly offline racer.
Given the more powerful online architecture available these days, along with platforms better equipped to take advantage of it, it’s certainly expected that we’ll get to the point where nearly all games will allow participants to feel more connected and play together to an extent. The concept itself is nothing new, with titles from several years ago such as Test Drive Unlimited and Blur successfully integrating some sort of community features into the core games themselves.
With Driveclub, The Crew and Forza Horizon 2 all releasing within the span of a couple of months, it’s very clearly the “Season of the Social Racing Game”. So was the wait for Driveclub worth it? Yeah, I’d say so. They gave us a glimpse of this vision back when the PS4 was first introduced and since then we have patiently waited for them to finish polishing up the game. Instead of designing a next-generation MotorStorm game (sadface), Sony and Evolution Studios’ vision for a PS4 racer was to create a new car racing experience where players could “Drive Together, Win Together” in team-based global challenges.
