Plenty of games could have matched. DC was intentionally built to be a graphical arcade racing showcase. It had 30fps, less vehicles on screen, and virtually ZERO sim physics. That means the devs could put all of PS4 power into graphics, weather effects and reflections. GT and Forza are both Sims that use more processing power on tires models, suspension set up, smart A.I. and more cars on screen. Not to mention both games run at 60fps. So if GT and Forza devs wanted to make a graphical game like they DC, they could have no problem as it's all about design direction. Next gen, expect both Forza and GT to look graphically like DC but with sim aspects AND 60+ fps.

[@theothernodude3139]

I played the living HELL out of Driveclub before GT Sport released. Loved that game to bits and pieces. Even after buying GT Sport, I still oftentimes went back to DC because how much I missed that immersion and sense of speed that’s just simply unmatched. Throwing the hardcore handling on that bad boy and you’ll have a less arcade feel to it. There’s no comparison in sound. DC executes the sound nearly PERFECTLY with the exception of that tunnely effect to it. For the Ferrari 458, there’s an article talking about how they had the recorded Ferrari sound and just simply did a few edits to it. That BMW is nearly the same as if you hear an M4 straight from the exhaust, you can hear that little noise it produces when going through gears. Also, Hypercars sound absolutely AGGRESSIVE in DC. McLaren P1 and LaFerrari are my all-time favorites.

[@Nero_PR]

Koenigsegg one 1 is incredible. The Lamborghinis too. I take my hats off for the sound design of the game. If you change views with the free camera, you can hear the engine much louder if it is located in the front compared to the sound from behind the car. The game had so much polish to it. Sadly, Sony killed off the studio :/. I really wanted a MotorStorm for the PS4 and PS5.

I actually enjoyed Drive Club and I was disappointed that they shut it down. It deserved a sequel. GTS is my favourite, I’ve always been a GT fan since I was a kid. DC in the Wet was the most visually stunning experience I have had in those conditions and the rain physics on the windscreen was incredible. Every now and then I’ll jump on just to experience the wet weather effects. It would have been nice to have DC and GT for the PlayStation but we really only have one exclusive now and that’s GT. Perhaps DC could have been our Forza Horizon because I’d love a game like that for the PS. DC still holds up well and is a nice little gem to the PlayStation community. Gran Turismo Sport has incredible details and graphics for a PS 60FPS game and I really love the sound effects, the car sounds have never been so good in Gran Turismo before so I really hope they can continue that and improve them even more in GT7 or Sport 2. I can’t wait for the next game on next Gen hardware. 🏁🏎🏆 P.S I love Direct Comparison great work Nick.

[@ThreeDaysOfDan]

As a MEGA fan of both Driveclub and GT sport, this video has a lot of inconsistencies. The models in GT sport are of higher quality than the ones in DC . When you enter photo mode in DC the game swaps in the highest LOD car , in GT sport the highest LOD car is never swapped in, instead of the game swaps in its third-highest LOD model, the second LOD model is reserved for the garage and livery editor and the highest LOD model is reserved for its SCapes mode and dealership. In actual gameplay Id venture to say gt sport has better quality on MOST cars, some are very poor but I can count them with my hand. In in-game photo mode drive club has a higher LOD , in-scapes mode, GT shits all over anything out today, they modeled the screw heads ( id be happy to provide pictures btw) . On the topic of tracks.. Drive club is made up mostly of close circuits not point to point tracks . Drive club has 2 sprint tracks per country , 3 tracks based around public roads, three tracks based on one closed circuit and three tracks based on a city location added when VR came out. This is the same for all 6 world locations, there are only 12 sprint tracks compared to 54 closed-course tracks ( dc has 66 tracks not including reverse ) . Lighting and shadows: Gt sport destroys Driveclub at night. Light sources don't cast shadows in driveclub ( light post ), they do in gt sport , nuf said.

Driveclub rain effects & lighting still remains unmatched till date in 2024 … Damn that game was released 10 years ago 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@cristian-si1gb]

Wasn't GT Sports actually 1800p?

[@bryanmoreira2920]

I've waiting years for this Nick's comparison

[@bradleyp33]

I'm glad I still own DriveClub since I got it when it first came out. Cuz now you cannot get DriveClub on PSN anymore.

[@rossi_arts]

Driveclub still holds up today, EASILY. It was ahead of its time, visuals were incredible, car sounds were nuts. Just wish evolution didn’t get shut down because Driveclub 2 had so much potential

[@blazesmooth5573]

made sense it looked decent, and DECENT at best it wasn't anything super eye popy, capped at 1080p 30fps my almost 6 year old card does better

[@jaysmith9683]

I don't know why Sony stopped online multiplayer support (to bring people to GT7 online and increase sales maybe?!). We need Driveclub on PS5, remastered in 4K 120 fps. I bet their talented devs can do it!

[@blazesmooth5573]

You must be crazy if you think the ps5 can do 4k 120fps dude. it's gonna do native 4k 60fps and 1080p 120fps

[@jaysmith9683]

@@blazesmooth5573 Without all the GT7-esque bells and whistles like ray tracing etc, it may well be possible. But I agree, generally speaking we probably won't see many 4K 120FPS games as devs favour graphical fidelity over frame-rate.

[@enricod.7198]

I know it is not about this particular video, but it's amazing the work you make about sound in games. Nobody ever talks about sound but it adds so much in games, especially some lik rdr2 or other rpgs where immersion is key. Great work!

[@impointr]

By the way, GT Sport has much more detailed models in the showroom and scapes mode! Since the game targets 60 FPS, models are much less detailed on track.

[@harveyhall2350]

DC also has a showroom called the Garage, it has the Vehicle, still fully detailed like it is on track, in a massive Canadian landscape and skybox, GT sport also looks plastic-y compared to DC with less dynamic sounds, the hood cam also allows for a better sounding, more raw engine compared to chase cam, and case chase isn't terrible compared to the fixed chase cam of GT.

[@impointr]

@@harveyhall2350 "still fully detailed like it is on track" But still not as detailed as GT Sport's models, in fact. And I play and enjoy both. "GT sport also looks plastic-y compared to DC" Ehhh i'd say both have their lots of inaccuracies. Plus it really depends on the paint and paint material in both games. "the fixed chase cam of GT" That's something so many people who haven't played GT Sport & GT7 will bring up. You can set the camera so that it sways more. It has limits and won't sway around like other games, but it's still far from completely fixed. The other points are valid, but both games have their own strengths and weaknesses for any technical tidbits & fidelity. They're both as gorgeous as each other, but in different ways. I'd still love a DriveClub 2 though...

[@PaxPsych0sis]

The audio design in Driveclub was so good, Auto Manufacturers reached out to the Devs for the audio files to use for their commercials.

[@regriefing1807]

That's because driveclub was ahead of it's time and had the most realistic car sounds in a racing game yet lmao

[@joystickblaze]

This game...is AMAZING...! Beautiful graphic and despite the lower resolution, the level of detail and physics surpass many high profile racing games. SONY close this Studio, bad decision, and they leave alive the boring GT...WTF?

[@DesuVR]

The most intense race I've ever had was in Drive Club. A McClaren, in India, in the rain, with a full grid. 💦

[@RKO94-49]

Man, driveclub, despite its age, is a great looking racing game, easily beat GT sport here tbh in most areas. Forza and driveclub are my 2 fave racing games and are what driving games should be like. The feel, the look, everything.

[@wavybump]

I would add the project cars series. PC2 was a masterpiece. Its my goto when I want a racing fix. can only imagine their next game. Fh4 is arguably the best racing game ever made. Both studios are due for something new. Could you imagine if they where both launch titles💵💵💵💵

[@RKO94-49]

@@wavybump forgoot about project cars. I did enjoy the first one but it felt so arcadey for me compared to other racers. Never played the second one though, does look a hell of a lot better than the first. Yeah i agree, FH is a phenomenal game.

reece kao it’s your opinion but I understand someone who calls pc arcade and I think to u fh is sim right?

Man, those rain droplets were way ahead of it's time

[@Omarized160]

Cant compare a 30fps racer to a 60. It's like eating a tin of beans cold or eating em hot.

[@ka7al958]

Yet people in the comments seem to think it's "a game ahead of its time". The game looks great for a 2014 racer but with GT you get double the frame rate to sacrifice few effects. Even watching this video was painful to go from 60fps down to 30

[@BorjaOjeda]

That’s definitely it’s only downside. Going back to it after playing games like Dirt Rally, PCars 2 and such isn’t particularly easy on the eyes, despite the gorgeous graphics.

[@arty-AN5690]

GT Sport's 60fps is partially why it lacks a good sense of speed - something Driveclub nails it to this day.

[@hansip87]

If one doesn't mind latency for an arcade game, any new TV with motion processing will fix DC 30fps in a pinch.

[@ThreeDaysOfDan]

@@arty-AN5690 with fps it eitehr has to be 30 or 240 fps to get that sense of speed , everything in between feels weird

[@okdok3742]

2 things i would like to mention sense of speed. driveclub to this day is unmatched, its not even close. driveclub has the best sense of speed sounds. the best way i can describe it is like this. other racing games sound like high quality recording of cars but driveclub legit makes u feel like ur hearing the car. theres also the little details that put driveclub over the top. my favourite is the wind noise which creates a whole new lvl of emersion. in other games, wether ur hitting 100 kph or 400 kph, there is no wind noise to add to the sense of speed. in driveclub there r too specific stages of speed where the wind noise really kicks in. once u hit 200 kph and once u hit 250-300 kph. the wind noise is so realistic its crazy.

[@hypergon-5627]

Drive club is very detailed Games usually ignore small details they think nobody will notice

[@bausl_]

I mean, DriveClub is hard to go back to cause it only runs at 30fps.

[@lundinkrazy]

Fabe Bausl And the motion blur is average at best.

[@HarisButt6662169]

Lundin Krejci It’s far better than anything these ‘next-gen’ garbage games have to offer.

[@lundinkrazy]

Bluff Master I’m not sure what games you are referring to.

[@HarisButt6662169]

Lundin Krejci uh hello, Assetto Corsa, PC2, Dirt 4, Dirt Rally 2.0, Forza Horizon 3 and 4, GT Sport. Should I carry on?

[@lundinkrazy]

Bluff Master Every game you just mentioned has way way better physics than driveclub. Graphics aren’t everything. Assetto Corsa is a racing sim and so is PC2. Dirt Ralley 2.0 is a sim. Grand Turismo is a simcade and Dirt 4 is a simcade. Forza horizon 3 and 4 are arcade open world racers. Have you even played half of theses games?

[@DarkChaos87]

"Sound Design" GT: the sound of a basic audio clip. DriveClub: the sound of 19 strategically placed microhpones.

[@yme3267]

Too bad Driveclub had such a screwed up launch and couldn't find an identity..... then gets closed down and the game ENTIRELY removed from the game store and all DLC is free lol I kinda wish I had bought the motorcycle stuff.... but.... I don't play racing games that much as is..... and I couldn't justify buying then. Shame.

[@BorjaOjeda]

I still resent myself for not getting the last car-based DLC pack that came out because I forgot. When I remembered it had already pulled out of the store :( The motorcycle side of the game though was pretty disapointing. The physics of the game weren’t tuned for bikes and it shows. You’re way better off with the Ride series by Milestone if you’re into bikes.

[@AlpineAddict]

The problem I had with DriveClub was it had the most realistic graphics I'd seen, but then super arcadey and unrealistic driving physics. I just couldn't get used to those opposites. I guess I was expecting something more sim-like but with the cool social aspect. The driving just felt weird and unnatural. It's a massive shame because it was the most beautiful driving game for sure.

[@dma968]

Wait all the dlcs are free????

[@jam6236]

Their is no dlc. Where in the hell are you getting them free from? If theirs still a chance then I want to know

If you ever lived on earth and driven a car, you’ll really appreciate how extremely realistic the weather effects are in Drive Club.

[@SeaGLGaming]

I know it's a stretch, but since you have a good wheel setup now, I'd love to see a DC episode on nr2003 (NASCAR Racing 2003 Season) vs iRacing. It'd be interesting because iRacing was built out of the source code for nr2003. After Papyrus went under after NASCAR took away their license as every sports league seemed to be giving EA exclusive rights, Papyrus rebuilt the team, formed iRacing, and built the ultimate racing sim experience from Legends and Outlaws all the way to NASCAR, endurance racing, and F1 out of a game from 2003 (iRacing launched in 2008, but it's been continuously updated thanks to their membership service, and even the difference between when it launched and today is astounding). Even though nr2003 is just a NASCAR game, it's been kept alive by the modded community allowing for everything from the World of Outlaws all the way to F1 along with graphical updates and a ton more so it'd also be interesting to see how mod by the community for a game from 2003 compare to a officially licensed and supported sim.
