Driveclub: Playstation's Fallen Masterpiece 

Thank you for this whitelight... My favorite racing game of the generation

whitelight has the absolute worst taste in gaming. C - A - S - U - A - L.

@@occiderisaethiopissa3702 *sigh*

pumped for mirror's edge!!

Please Whitelight, do Control's DLC's

INDIGO! I wonder if you'll ever make a video for this haha, probably not enough material worth the lovely long format content on your channel. Nice to see you here!

And the S O U N D

Which is not great for a racing game when raindrops were the best thing about it.

Assetto Corsa’s SOL mod has equivalent if not better raindrop effects at this point

@@Redrash12 nice a recent Mod is better than a 2014 game ..

Sony seemed to struggle in wanting anyone to play the game :)

@@DEVILTAZ35 Sony struggle with everything these days it seems. Its CHAOS.

Hi Jacob, you make awesome videos!

Oh hey my favorite video essay creator

hi Jacob I hate your videos

Holy crap never saw this, thank you.

MY FAVORITE TWO VIDEO ESSAY WRITERS CROSSOVER

yeah it looks absolutely amazing for console standards lmao

If only Sony didn't kill Evolution Studios and we got PS5 enhanced version with 60 fps..

@@RacerBest you still wouldn’t be able to see anything because of the blinding lights

Honestly, I played it last wk and although the effects and lightning can be considered good, 1080p upscaled on a 4k tv isn't the best.

BF3 was released in '11, on the 7th gen consoles and still looks amazing, so I don't think the year matters.

I have the feeling that Sony, as they were and are, believed that polyphony was already too large.

​@@TheUltimateEelI don't know how big polyphony is but damn do they BADLY need someone to help with the visual side of their games, or at least redirect their efforts from the weird obsession they got with Scapes and photo mode to the visuals in ACTUAL GAMEPLAY. There is no way that 6 year old Forza 7 looks the same if not better than GT7

​@@andresvalenzuela160FM7 isn't even close to GT7

@@andresvalenzuela160what a load of rubbish.

@@R4M_Tommy fm7 and fh5 both look better, gt7 looks like they added a lighting plugin onto an PS3 engine and called it a day

I realised that after his 7 hour long Death Stranding commentary

Hyper cars, in the dark, in the wet, in a blizzard, i can't see shit, it's ridiculous it's also insanely fun! :D :D :D nailed it :D

yeah really,dats kinda surprising

same I got it when I first bought my playstation 4

@@brynjolf3974 I can't word it correctly because it's just make you less confused

What did he say

@@QueenMarshy it’s all good I looked it up

This is true, exact same how I felt about driveclub all along

@@leegalea5961 I never had this much fun in a game. Online was a blast and had so many European friends

Same here man

For real

Half expecting him to start dropping asmr videos

I would do the same thing to be honest

agree

this video man

@@stavrosmayakofsky1915 it's just too good 🥵

I mean the game is just a pretty package. There's not much below the surface, it was just the "oh my god look at those raindrops on the windscreen!" I'm not saying it wasn't enjoyable, but the critics were completely justified.

No they weren't. The game was not just pretty on the surface either. It was very nuanced in its driving feel with KERS or DRS on the cars that were supposed to have it, there was down force, and as the gentleman said, the bumps in the road and subtleties like this. The point to point racing was spectacular, the Ai was competitive and if you paid attention to the names that came up to race against, they had different racing styles. No matter how slow the car was you were in ATM, the game ALWAYS felt seat of the pants like it should, the faster cars were downright SCARY and LOUD and it never got old and even not being a sim, NO game captures the violence of driving fast cars fast like DC. Naa bro. Maybe you didn't like the game, fair enough, but there are sooo many things DC did right that were never before done so well and STILL have not been done better. Much more than the beautiful, atmospheric, great music and sound to love about DC.

Nowhere near right. This game had soul. Sure it was beautiful, and up there with the most beautiful games ever, but it's not what mattered to us playing everyday.@@Greippi10

@@Greippi10this game took some of the best forza horizon parts…and condensed it into this beautiful beast…it’s so fun with a steering wheel…I play horizon 4 on my steam deck and it’s close to this…from this adrenaline fueled feeling.

​@@TheL1arL1arWhich is surprising, because it feels like the most boring and dull driving experience possible. When I walk into DC, it feels a level better and more energetic.

Oh god I would love that, imagine what they could do with that SSD and graphics card. They did this on a graphics card of only 1.8TFLOPS imagine how much it could improve due to the new tech

ssd? for graphics? you guys know ssd it's just a form to storage your games, right?

@@Bruno_Laion ssd can directly improve "technical level" of a game, look at ratchet and clank a rift apart for example, which lets you to change environment on the fly through something similar to portals, thanks to ps5 ssd

@@Bruno_Laion You do realise an SSD can load data much faster, so models can be loaded in game to make available resources for processing other things.

@@emulatorgaminguk2751 You do know that the fast SSD in the PS5 really isnt the main reason why its able to load worlds so fast? PS5 couldve have a mediocre SSD and it wouldve still been revolutionized how video games load. The real reason models and worlds can load so fast is because it doesnt have to go thru the CPU to the ram, back thru the CPU and back to the GPU. The GPU can rather just pull data straight from the SSD onto its Vram. Sure it requires a decent SSD for it to be at all beneficial, but the SSD itself has very little to do with it.

Fr I almost a little bit confused "wait a minute did I click the right video? Where car and gameplay?"

I get what you mean. It's sort of poetic. I feel like he writes his scripts as a rollercoaster of the senses first and foremost. It's highly effective.

Agreed. I never played this game and probably i'll never will, but this video is absolutely fantastic and captivating.

The writing is such that there are moments where I could turn away from my phone for a moment, and technically not miss anything at all.

you are MISSING OUT.

I want this game for PS5 pls help not available in playstore.

Yes it's you

@@milktar2182 Whatever that means buddy, Driveclub one love

I never saw this until now. Thank you man, I've been watching your uploads for years.

@@Whitelight Thank you bro, Much love 😎😎😎 🏁🏁🏁 Keep up the good work 👏👏👏

Great fan of your driving man 🙇. It was just different experience playing the driveclub especially driving the agera r in the mountains of chile.

Bro what…

true. although NFS is still tolerable compared to forza

I mean they try to be different having variety which helps different types of fans still get to play their racing games

@@amintron well........nfs has unbound now....... Its like arcade racers now look like they are competing on who can look more like tiktok.........

driveclub is the redditors dream of what "classy" looks like

To this day never reached

@Super Mario one of the greatest tragedies in gaming

That’s the problem with free to play games, if they are not profitable then they can just pull the plug whenever they want.

@@eddiedelreal4792 driveclub was free to play?

@@Player-re9mo Driveclub was planned as a free-to-play version combined with a full price release - Sony botched that, same way they botched so many other things to do with this game.

hi :) Is single player rewarding and fun? I remember playing though it for a few hours, this vid got me thinking I should try it again. Cheers

Same, it feels less intrusive, it's nice. Also you pfp looks small but is that Obama Spike Spiegel? Cause if it is that's pretty cool!

It was also really nicely made, not just a basic segway into a powerpoint presentation like other channels do. Also the credits at the end are really nice, it feels like I watched a short movie or a documentary, not juts a youtube video.

No RU-vid was not made for this. Hence why Pewdiepie and the gang are the most popular channels. Nothing thoughtful is particularly successful on this platform.

It’s up to you if you want amazing engine sound or music I prefer silence during race

I was in love with OST i put it all on my channel as well, best game with best OST, absolutely mesmerizing

Fr man

Seriously tho. He makes a whole set of poems to praise the games he takes a looks at.

Yup. Love the ssj god pfp mate!

@@IlMemetor72 Ayyy thanks! I loved the piece of art so I had to use it.

Rusky already said something is in the works for another Driveclub (of course it's not going to be called Driveclub)

Should I still get this game in 2022?

@@KM-lc6hj this game is timeless, can get it whenever you want. I love playing it time to time. Nostalgia kicks so hard. However i can feel little bored sometimes, due to how much i have already played it. It's still so good.

I didn't even touch it. Still have it brand new in its plastic.

@@theblackswordsman9951 the servers are down now but still worth playing just to witness how gorgeous it is And also cos it's a great racer in its own right

I’m actually gonna download this again lol just to relive these sounds and sights , I love this game soo much!

Only problem was it was owned by Sony, who already had their darling racer.

the problem was this game had pretty graphics and nothing else

RIP Evolution Studios. MotorStorm and Driveclub live on forever in our hearts.

Wait what!?

Its 3 in the morning here so I must be in a dream! 🤯

And UberDamger

Yo man I couldn't believe it either but it did happen

Is it F2P on console or just steam? The console playerbase needs more love it’s dying badly

This game with the order got an unofficial 60FPS patch but you need to hack your PS5

Never played Motorstorm before except that one time inside a shop with the floor Ps3. It was fantastic.

You are so lucky in life that the DriveClub was a gift for you. I couldn't actually be allowed to purchase a PS4 and the game itself. Demn, I didn't even know she existed back then... Now I dream about this game and just for the sake of DriveClub, I'm going to buy a PS4 Pro and a CD with the game soon, and then after a while find a person who will help me share the experience and impressions of the game thanks to all the DLC of this game. I fell in love with this game at first sight, and now I don't need any other game - just DriveClub.

YES I feel that too

Wake the fuck up honey,we got a video to watch

Haha

He has more dulcet British tones than James May…

« what do you mean you’ll be 30 min late to the wedding? »

Shit, beat me by 3 minutes. *Nice*

Wish I had someone to wake me up

For me, this is my favorite game among all other games. Considering that I play ACC and other autosims.

​@@welunfesme2 bro. Best time I had in a racing game online

Facts!

I wouldn't know i don't own any of the cars lol

disagree. it sounds massively "enhanced". like your're in a tunnel all the time. i for one don't like it.

@@GraveUypo the tunnel effect was caused by the devs recording the real life car sounds in the garage with the actual cars from the game so other than the tunnel effect it's the most realistic sounding cars i've seen in a video game literally it sounds just like the real life counterpart

Dude, it's called sound propagation around place.

so what you're saying is "everyone who disagrees with me is dumb, i'm the only smart one". yeah those "drift kiddos" are looking pretty mature to me right now

I enjoy playing both simcades and fully fledged hardcore sims, but I honestly I can't stand that tap-to-drift playstyle that NFS keeps going for anymore. It was fun in Burnout 3 Takedown all the way to NFS:HP 2010, but these games were challenging in their own ways. In modern NFS it just makes the game extremely easy and boring

@@GraveUypo yes, what are you gonna do about it

@@GraveUypo Dude, sim snobs are the pure definition of "everyone who disagrees with me is dumb, I'm the only smart one". "The tire model of Assetto Corsa is so unrealistic, everything that isn't iRacing is unplayable!" is something I've seen way too many times. Arsenjie explaining why he likes certain games isn't pretentious at all.

That's because they're being marketed to the wrong people. Publishers think the only people who buy arcades are 12 year old casuals who just want to drift like its another asphalt mobile game. We need more mature, believable arcades

@@ileutur6863 tell that to the average consumer. Horizon 4 got blasted with hate cause it didn't take place in japan, modifying cars wasn't thar complex as underground for example and there were not enough roads to drift on??? I couldn't care less about huge piles of ugly plastic but their screams are so loud, the next horizon will probably be a total jdm hell...

@@Brandon0406 man its just annoying all fast and furious kids are taking over

@@lilibra6224 Fast and Furious kids? LOL, F&F kids died in the 2000's.
