Gaming PlayStation 4 (Console)



First gameplay trailer and it looks amazing. Day one buy?


Gameplay trailer? :/ I hate that phrase as it's never really proper gameplay in these trailers.

I wish the batman games would have went the route of the films, with their villains and that mood.

If you believe the developers then the graphics will be that good. You want the Batman game to take the route as the Dark Knight movies? I disagree, Arkham City had am amazing story, it has my favourite version of Batman, he didn't take crap from anyone.

I never believe developers, it never turns out how were told or led to believe IMO.

Yeah, maybe it's because I loved the dark knight movies though. I haven't really played these batman games (couple hours of one of them) and didn't get me hooked.

I'll have to give this one a try though.

I didn't play the first one, or the new one, only the second one. I didn't enjoy it at first but the fighting is just great and it got me hooked. I like the movies too, I'm a huge Batman fan so it was great for me but for me we never really saw the real Batman in any of the movies, but that's for another topic. The Batman in the game is closer to the one in the comics, he sick of everything and he doesn't shit from anyone, it's just perfect. He pretty much kicks everyones arse.

If you believe IGN then they said then watched a 10 minute gameplay video and they said it was very close the trailers. They said the the Batmobile can smash through anything!
 
The best decision they made was to ensure this was a next-gen only game, enough with cross-gen already.
 
Driveclub news:

The PlayStation Plus version of DriveClub contains 10 cars and one country (India), containing 5 tracks with a total of 11 distinct layouts. Rustchynsky tells us he objects to it being called a demo, however.

"I think anyone who calls it a demo is definitely underselling the experience," he explained. "You've got full multiplayer and you've got part of the single-player: you can go into Single Event and set it up with any car and track available in the PS Plus edition. You can join a club, create a club, set challenges, it's a feature-complete version of the game ultimately. You can even unlock all the trophies, including the Platinum, and play through it as a normal player would."

He went on to confirm to CVG that the full game features 50 cars and five countries, offering a total of 25 tracks with a total of 55 layouts. This essentially means the Plus version is exactly one-fifth the size of the full game.


Full, positive, hands on preview:

To be fair, they are not dealing with 1000 or so cars.

Polyphony had 1000 cars but about 1000 vacuum cleaners for the sounds. Not a single car in the last couple of GT's has pure sounds, closest they got is with the open wheelers.
 
Anyone know if it's possible to download game updates before you get the game? I hear Wolfenstein has a 5gb update and it hasn't turned up yet, so I wanted to download it now so I don't have to wait hours to play it (slow connection).
 
You can still play it, I encountered the update when I installed it and it hasn't stopped me doing anything.

No its not possible. But like Levo said you can still play it, it will download in the background and install when its ready once you exit your game.
 
The sounds of the engine! boo-hoo! Who cares, is the gameplay good? Yes - great thanks I'm sold.
 
When you play a racing game you want the sounds of the cars to sound as good as they can be no?
 
I usually turn the volume down and put music on, but I agree, realistic sounding cars add to the experience.
 
In the scheme of things it's probably way down the list of things you want from a driving game though right?

Who cares if cars sound like hoovers, or if people look like turkey's, hell who even cares if guns act more like straws and spitballs!!! Gaming is about... feck knows what.

Car sim without car sounds isn't a car sim.
 
It's just surprising that GT put's in such hard work to get details of the inside cabin identical, but it doesn't try hard to get the sounds spot on. Hell even the new need for speed game the cars sound pretty much nailed on.
 
It's weird though, because the GT sound doesn't bother me... like, at all. It's not like I'm playing it wishing it sounded like Forza... Fwiw I cant remember what either sound like...
 
Honestly, I got bored of driving sims a few years ago. The last driving game I enjoyed was Forza Horizon and I was one of the few who enjoyed it.

It certainly has enough about it to keep you entertained for sure, but the 2 big gripes of GT is the stupid AI of other drivers, and the sounds car sounds are always drony and unrealistic. If only they got those 2 spots fixed it would be pretty amazing.
 
It's possible that on the PS3 there simply were not enough resources in terms of the hardware. They were doing some pretty funky shit such as the realtime lighting, change of day, weather, etc. etc. etc. (they were casting real light into fine-grain smoke particles) most of which you can guarantee were all set up on the Cell, which also was responsible for sound (as the PS3 has no sound hardware AT ALL) along with everything else apart from the final rendering of the scene at 1440x1080 60fps - Forza 4 was 720p and didn't have half of that shit going on. PS4 has dedicated sound hardware, so with GT7 there really is no excuse.
 
GT7 has three areas it needs to improve in order to basically create the ultimate console racer. 1. Is the sounds, just make them better. 2. AI, give them some life. 3. A proper balanced xp system, I don't mind grinding but not the same race 30 times because I have no choice.

If they managed to do that even in small increments for the first PS4 release coupled with the inevitiable graphics upgrade, hoooo boy it will be good.

I think I posted this before from Project Cars



Come on, tell me that isn't an infinitely better experience because of the great sounds.

It's like in a shooting game, you want the guns to sound as good as they can? Well, yeah, but it's not a big deal for me personally. I'd rather developers spent their time making a great playable game, than worrying if the Porsche's engine sounds a bit like the Mercs or something.

If your game is so packed with highly detailed cars that worry about how the stiching in the seats look, how can they make the sounds so boring? This is Gran Turismo we are talking about, years of development time and money to burn and those sounds are the best they can come up with?

So yeah you can live with it but it isn't like this isn't a common complaint about the GT series, Kaz himself acknowledges it. Motorsport is great because of the sounds it creates, its a huge part of the experience, the new F1 engines don't sound great, will I stop watching? No. But does it lessen the experience to me? Yes.

It's not even about accuracy, do I care if a Porsche sounds the same as a Merc? Not really, but I want the engines to have some life and capture that raw power. I'm hoping its like weaste said, perhaps they are hardware restricted and sacrifices in certain areas have to be made.

I see you're looking at the racing game genre as a motorsport fan. I'll level with you, I enjoy the gameplay but not because of an overt interest in the thing outside of the actual challenge before me. I don't watch F1 because of the drone and I've never had that Top Gear rush from the sound of an engine in real life.

I enjoy racing games but not racing, if that makes sense?

Yeah total sense. Some people like Gran Turismo, some people like Mario Kart, some like both, some like neither.

The Order 1886 apparently. That is a game that interests me.

Exactly the point though, Mario Kart is fun to play because it's not really about the cars as such, its main aim is to win by any means necessary.

Car enthusiasts will play GT just because it has their favourite car, and when they play with that car the sound is just as important as how the steering wheel looks, or how accurate the bumper details are. The sound of the engine is of massive importance. I think this game generally is aimed at people who are "car people", so they should understand it's a big priority.

If you want to play with a Nissan GTR, and it sounds like a formula 1 car it would be completely wrong - they may aswell have it look nothing like the car either.
 
Some people don’t like Mario Kart?

Those people are mental.

I don't like it. I find it boring, as I do with with most of the Nintendo games, it doesn't make mental at all. I think it's a great game and I see why people love it, but it isn't for me. My brother doesn't like driving games but he loves Mario Kart.
