Ridge Racer is alive!

Drive Club (Standard Edition) (Video Game)

Customer Review

Somehow I thought it would be different, but somehow I've wanted a new, more modern Ridge Racer. It would be calculated Drive Club now, was not in sight, but I like the drift-heavy handling characteristics, where you "wait for the throttle to load changes, drift dose clean and pull through" almost alone with dancing around the curves. The control is in fact a good mix of Ridge Racer, Grid 2 and Sega Rally. Nix SIM Freaks - awaiting Project CARS (and I do too). And a steering wheel does not need her for Drive Club also essential that travels well with the controller. I also expect, because I'm going to probably soon T300 set no Thrustmaster for about 400 EUR. For a racing controller that's a lot, "wood", and I had already quarreled with the purchase of much cheaper Logitech Driving Force GT (which is recognized in principle by the PS4, but unfortunately so far due to lack of economic and business interests - Logitech does not build steering wheels more - does not run with the PS4 games).
But what have the "colleagues" one year deferral needed? (Not even run that yes currently wg. Sever-unavailability) Only Social Network features? And rain etc. gimmicks are also only as add-ons resupplied (Season Pass for another 25 EUR)?
Well, the menu is tidy beautiful and so simple design as possible, the carts see class that something bolzplatzmaessige KI bothers me only because of the deduction of points (but as you can certainly still an update expected), and the hyperreal model -Eisenbahn-Saubermann look around while driving is anyway only secondary. Again, track knowledge is a must, especially if you go against the law glistening sun exposure. The atmosphere overall I really like. Offline Multiplayer "is nich".
As I said, more Sim will give it at Project CARS, and more action & Pimp will probably bring The Crew, which is, however, only run online. We'll see.
Who Ridge Racer loved, like drifting and has only wanted a more modern interpretation, will find it here. The other rather less. I like it, but 3 stars are enough * (see below). Should something happen to Great, I'm willing to grab another one.
My dearest wish remains: Rockstar give enough time and money, so that you can develop a new Midnight Club! The LA Complete Edition is / was on the PS3 a 5-star racing game with all the trimmings, and a graphically up donnerter PS4 successor in another city would be the hammer, the many, hopefully enough fans wish.

* Addendum: Now that I've played 2+ weeks and am now arrived with about 15 million credits to the end level 50, I decided to turn the original 3 stars still 4. This is partly due to the fantastically good control with controller, on the other hand to the really super-made routes that always invite for running (at different times of day and Lichteinfaellen) and the great graphical implementation of the areas and the cars - that you get even with GT6 as not to see. And the points system is unfrustig and motivating - whether career or single race, there is everywhere to pick up credits that you can relatively quickly also unlock performance and the very fast super and hyper-cars. The AI ​​is much better than initially thought - it is also Offline never boring, because the opponents are always close to it - and ideal line is nunmal racing line, so be careful if your someone purely because cuts. Since you have in spite of some difficult avoidable Rempler quickly and cleanly as possible go (and this seems to be the essence of the game - billiards, bumping, turners, ..., all costs Speed ​​and thus time and people). Everywhere you notice the attention to detail, and convinced the solid, almost tangible quality of the entire game. Since evolution has done a very good job, even if the overall concept with Race, Time Trial and Drift events more "bread and butter" or "back to the roots" is. Just a pity that the online approach does not work out really - there are mainly one-person-clubs; everyone wants to be "Boss" and makes an on, hardly anyone wants to join. Well, Abieter, know the psychology of your players!
Especially people who have their first console with the PS4, this game comes highly recommended - I'm almost a bit jealous. But also all the others that "Good Clean Fun" love, Drive Club is warmly recommended. It is after all the most beautiful so far visually hp racing game with one of the best controls ever (there may also also very well done NFS Rivals not keep up, but that has as OpenWorld Renner for others "delicacies"). In order for you to weeks and months ahead have fun, and Slightly Mad have postponed the release of their yes firstonce highly anticipated Project CARS from November to March - there's so such currently no "conflict of interest"...
