Sony held a big event last night where many thought it would debut its next-next-next-gen console system, the Playstation 4. As it turns out, Sony both did and didn't debut the PS4, choosing to keep the console's design a secret for now while premiering the new controller's look, a new Kinect-like camera peripheral and the machine's basic hardware specs.
The other thing that got a lot of attention were games, one of which previewed during the event was
DriveClub, a new racing game franchise by
Evolution Studios that will launch with the PS4 this holiday season. The studios prior highlights include developing
World Rally Championship games for the PS2 and
Motorstorm for the PS3. The teaser vid for
DriveClub can be
watched below, and while it looks darn good, these sorts of vids aren't always accurate representations of what the actual gameplay graphics will look like.
From what we've heard and can tell from the video,
DriveClub will look and work just like the other major racing game franchises, namely the
Gran Turismo and
Forza Motorsport series. It's reported, however, that DriveClub will be able to support hundreds of drivers and that it's graphical detail goes down to a car's "microscopic" flecks of paint.
As for the cars that will be included, we see a number of vehicles in the teaser video, including the
Hennessey Venom GT,
BAC Mono and
Pagani Huayra, among others.
Mercedes-Benz has even issued a press release announcing that the CLA45 AMG and A45 AMG will be in the game and included the first official shot of the former done up in the game's photorealistic graphics.
So what say you Playstation users? Does
DriveClub look like it can give the grand-daddy of next-gen racing games,
Gran Turismo, a run for its money on Sony's console?
