driveclub vs forza horizon 2 vs Amara La Negra Thread

[HNIC973]

this nikkawhy debate with him brehs

 

[MeachTheMonster]

you spoke about what you DON'T know though. you said the game was trash last year not cognizant of the state it was in. now you're saying it's not looking too promising. speak for yourself, the latest pre e3 videos showed an amazing looking game, something you and @daze23 have a hard time admitting because reasons.

Take away Sony.
Take away driving game.

This is a game that hands on previews ranged from disappointed to trash.

The game was delayed for an entire year

The games lead director is no longer working on the game.

More recent hands ons said the game is "much better than last year" not that it's amazing in its own right, just that its better than trash.

Now you're telling me that this game is gonna be better than the best the genre has to offer

You can't give one logical reason for you to believe that, NOT ONE.

Can't believe I'm even having this conversation here

What hands on previews stated the game was trash recently?? I just said the game was shown in pre-alpha state LAST YEAR at E3 and most recently the hands on from the game were positive. Now you're trying to basically say that the pre-alpha shown last E3 IS the game and no improvements or newer builds will really make a big difference. You're basically shytting on the game from it's inception and now want to ignore that.

you're saying a game you haven't played yet will be better than a game you been hating on since day one. I'm not surprised to say the least.

Tell me which is more absurd? Someone saying they'll be looking forward to both titles since they seem to offer a different approach or someone who's simply downplaying one title because it's on a console he's been downplaying since it's inception?? i want to play Forza and DC, you just want Forza not because it's a proven franchise, but because it's simply exclusive too.

Polygon:

It is fun, in the way of racing games that are neither too simmy nor too arcadey. As I zoomed through the curvy lanes of an Indian rural mountainside, past the lusty green fields, my car gave up slides and turns without complaint or penalty. Oh sure, on my first try I came in last. But on my second I was mixing it up with the winners. I wanted to play some more.

The Sixth Axis

Much is made about the refresh rate in games these days, and if that is something that matters so absolutely to you that you will not play a game, then Driveclub is not for you. However,it is consistent and is rendered in 1080p with a rock solid 30 frames per second no matter what’s being thrown about on screen.

IGN

I'm very happy to be right about my initial assessment. Playing on the India track (other courses are set in Scotland, Canada, Chile, and Norway, among others), I found that while you don't have to worry about tire pressures, suspension settings, or traction control, you do have to respect each car's unique capabilities, lest you be punished. Not only is it rather easy to slam into guard rails or veer off the track if you drive recklessly, but I quite like how Driveclub punishes you for doing so by subtracting the very DC points (aka Kudos if we stick with the PGR comparison) that you're rewarded with for good maneuvers, such as drifting or clean overtakes.

GameSpot:

The most important part of any racing game is the way its cars feel, so let's get this out of the way first: Driveclub is neither an arcade nor a simulation racer. It occupies a middle ground between those two spectrums, with licensed cars that feel weighty and capable of understeering into a hillside if you fail to anticipate a corner in time, but that are forgiving enough that you don't need to be too delicate about your tires' relationship with the asphalt below them. The audio goes a long way toward selling the realism of these vehicles, with punchy squeals and throaty engines providing an exciting soundtrack to your exploits on the road. I didn't get to spend enough time with the game to decide how well the whole driving experience comes together, however, but my initial reaction suggests that it feels pretty solid. There doesn't seem to be a huge amount of nuance between vehicles--I would have expected the Ariel Atom to feel much more sprightly than the Ferrari F12berlinetta, for example--but that's a gut reaction that comes from a single race spent with each car. Hopefully I can form a more developed opinion at E3.

Gamesradar

When it comes to photorealism in games, racers will always be ahead of the pack. No need to render oddly unconvincing eyes, skin, or faces that reside in the heart of the uncanny valley. All the graphical attention to detail can go to the tracks and the ludicrously expensive cars that speed through them. And I've never seen a racing game that looked quite as real--or beautiful--as Driveclub on the PS4.

VentureBeat

I raced a couple of times on a hillside track against 11 other computer-driven cars. Those cars were aggressive and weren’t easy to beat. I crashed a few times but got the hang of it by the second race. The game is not super easy, but you can adjust the difficulty settings. While I drove, I admired the shimmering hood of my car as the sunlight bounced off of it. But yeah, I’m a lousy racer. It didn’t seem like it would take long to learn how to drive, though.

GameInformer

First of all, the game looks great. It's fast and the couple of cars I drove felt good – somewhere in between being casual and being sim. The lighting effects make the world pop out, and you can even change the time elapse of day into night. On the track, the A.I. cars exhibited some different lines. I didn't win the two races I participated in, which I take as a good sign!

CVG

Our play test was brief, but it was enough to confirm that DriveClub is a fast game with narrow, thrilling courses that hurl turns at you in quick succession, and cars that, with solid driving technique, can blast around them at an alarming pace. Detailed environments, roaring engine notes and intricate touches such as the visible vibration of the road coming up through the suspension of the car offers a satisfying and visceral sense of speed throughout the race. And, most importantly, it is fun.
​

This sounds like a game to me??? Admit it, you want Driveclub to be bad so you can gloat about how good horizon 2 is. I have no doubt about Horizon 2 being a solid game, but let's not be all fanboyish and just claim it will demolish Driveclub simply because it's a newer IP.


If someone showed you a pre-alpha of your favorite game, it'd probably look worse and not really that great compared to the final game. Heck, the fact that you're trying to set parameters like "From trash to masterpiece" is simply face palm worthy. Why does it have to be a masterpiece to be considered good?? Is Watchdogs actually trash because the metacritic is only 81?? It's not a masterpiece, therefore it's not really going to be a good game. That's your logic right there.

As for your wanting a reason why I want to play this.. Hmm lets see, maybe because it looks fun?? Must every title push envelopes just to be legitimately anticipated? Must every game coming out be revolutionary and ground breaking, treading new grounds just to be worthy of interest to you?? If that was true, y'all wouldn't be clamoring for Halo 2 HD remake but y'all are which proves new doesn't always mean better. Look at MK8, it's not groundbreaking, it's just a refinement of great foundation with a new coat of paint. It's selling great and it's unanimously an amazing game. So you can miss me with the bullet point list of features of what Horizon 2 will have. As long as the game is fun and looks great to boot, that's enough for me. fukk all that noise.

What hands on previews stated the game was trash recently?? I just said the game was shown in pre-alpha state LAST YEAR at E3 and most recently the hands on from the game were positive.

Either your reading comprehension lost or your pretending to be dumb for arguments sake.
Not even gonna repeat myself again.

you're saying a game you haven't played yet will be better than a game you been hating on since day one. I'm not surprised to say the least.

The game deserved plenty of hate day one, which is why it's ironic that you are now pushing this angle. Here is a game that was universally panned as disappointing, bland, with wonky controls, and last gen graphics. Yet even at that time you tried to say it was amazing and looked better than forza(which it clearly didn't at the time). Now a year later your arguing how much better this game will be than FH2. I'm not surprised to say the least

That's not what you said. If this thread was "I can't wait to play both DC and FH2" then I would have nothing to say. You made the comparison thread, now your pretending comparisons shouldn't be made

This sounds like a game to me??? Admit it, you want Driveclub to be bad so you can gloat about how good horizon 2 is. I have no doubt about Horizon 2 being a solid game, but let's not be all fanboyish and just claim it will demolish Driveclub simply because it's a newer IP.

Nah, that's a Sony Stan exclusive I really don't care about the success of driveclub. You don't see me running around posting unflattering news/pics/gifs of this game as you have done with literally EVERY Xbox exclusive thus far. This is the DC VS FH2 comparison thread. You made it, now your buthurt that the comparisons don't favor DC. Get it together fatboi, you've really been loosing it these last couple weeks.

The game you are comparing it to is a masterpiece. Your thread isn't " is DC gonna be a good game" your thread is "driveclub vs FH2

And if someone told me my favorite game was only 35% done, but it will be ready for release in just 3 months, I would call them a liar

As for your wanting a reason why I want to play this.. Hmm lets see, maybe because it looks fun?? Must every title push envelopes just to be legitimately anticipated?

No, but being admittedly not a fan of racing games, you would think there has to be something special about this game to get you to consider it over other driving games that you don't care about.

 

[NatiboyB]

No way in hell would drive club be better than forza

 

[lutha]

yall seriously in here going at it about 2 games that haven't come out yet lol...wow....

 

[HNIC973]

yall seriously in here going at it about 2 games that haven't come out yet lol...wow....

look who made the thread

 

[Fatboi1]

Either your reading comprehension lost or your pretending to be dumb for arguments sake.

Breh, YOU the one saying the game was shyt last year and that it's still shyt even with improvements. You're the one saying these things.

The game deserved plenty of hate day one, which is why it's ironic that you are now pushing this angle. Here is a game that was universally panned as disappointing, bland, with wonky controls, and last gen graphics. Yet even at that time you tried to say it was amazing and looked better than forza(which it clearly didn't at the time). Now a year later your arguing how much better this game will be than FH2. I'm not surprised to say the least

Universally panned?? Breh, did you miss the part where the previews were from a PRE-ALPHA build?? What part of PRE ALPHA don't you understand?? You're trying to insinuate that the shortcomings of a prealpha preview will still be there since it's "still a shyt game" to you even with the delay. Those are YOUR words . The latest previews talked of a game with solid controls, amazing, unprecedented racing visuals and speedy fast races; a FAR CRY from what you keep bringing up.


And last year the visuals in those videos did look better than Forza 5. Up until launch, the few gifs we got here and there did look better than Forza. These gifs at the time looked better than Forza 5 and still do.

That's just old stuff.

That's not what you said. If this thread was "I can't wait to play both DC and FH2" then I would have nothing to say. You made the comparison thread, now your pretending comparisons shouldn't be made

I made a comparison thread because I know as soon as FH2 footage drops later this week and next, it will be a bloodbath on here so I made a thread saying it's for the comparisons.

Nah, that's a Sony Stan exclusive I really don't care about the success of driveclub. You don't see me running around posting unflattering news/pics/gifs of this game as you have done with literally EVERY Xbox exclusive thus far. This is the DC VS FH2 comparison thread. You made it, now your buthurt that the comparisons don't favor DC. Get it together fatboi, you've really been loosing it these last couple weeks.

Comparisons not favoring DC?? last I knew, DC looked amazing from a few weeks ago. I don't know where you're drawing your conclusions from. Posting unflattering news and pics?? Like you do?
http://www.thecoli.com/posts/8460979/
You forgot about that EMBARRASSING thread you made about the Infamous Second Son "downgrade"??? You were a fukking fool in that thread breh. You swore up and down the game was downgraded and even after we posted IRREFUTABLE pictures, you still tried to play it off. You're the one to talk.

The game you are comparing it to is a masterpiece. Your thread isn't " is DC gonna be a good game" your thread is "driveclub vs FH2

FH2 is a masterpiece?? You played it?? it came out?? This is straight up trolling bullshyt right here and you know it.

And if someone told me my favorite game was only 35% done, but it will be ready in 3 months, I would call them a liar

and the game was delayed. Big fukking deal.

No, but being admittedly not a fan of racing games, you would think there has to be something special about this game to get you to consider it over other driving games that you don't care about.

Not being a big fan of sim racers or the tired NFS games doesn't mean I'm not open to games that are actually fun. I may not care about NFS:Rivals, but a game like say Split Second 2, or Motorstorm apocalypse or San Francisco Rush, PGR or Forza Horizon 2 is interesting to me since they're not strictly sims nor are they the typical bland NFS trash that comes out every year.

 

[Fatboi1]

yall seriously in here going at it about 2 games that haven't come out yet lol...wow....

You got dudes in here hating on a title and preying for it's downfall secretly. That's really what's so "wow" about this. I made the thread purely to focus the inevitable E3 fanboy clutter by making the comparison thread early. You think DC or FH2 won't get compared sooner or later?? Please.

FH2 confirmed as 30fps and no jokes are being made.

http://www.thecoli.com/posts/8261121/
Where's this guy at to post the cinematic racing jest??

Where's Meach at saying 30fps is flabbynsick?
http://www.thecoli.com/posts/8259882/

Where's @HNIC973 at?
http://www.thecoli.com/posts/8548095/
He's not mad anymore at this being 30fps now?? These dudes are all jokes.

A forza JUST dropped and it was average. Too soon for another installment....

 

[MeachTheMonster]

Universally panned?? Breh, did you miss the part where the previews were from a PRE-ALPHA build?? What part of PRE ALPHA don't you understand?? And last year the visuals in those videos did look better than Forza. Up until launch, the few gifs we got here and there did look better than Forza. These gifs at the time STILL looked better than Forza 5.

That's just old stuff.

What part of "they don't show Pre alpha games that are due out in 3 months at e3" don't you understand. That Pre-alpha nonsense was just an excuse after people didn't like the game.

And everyone who played the games said forza looked better, only stanboys such as yourself tried to say otherwise.

I made a comparison thread because I know as soon as FH2 footage drops later this week and next, it will be a bloodbath on here so I made a thread saying it's for the comparisons.

Only reason it could be a bloodbath is when you come in with some of your nonsense. You didn't see anybody in the FH2 thread talking about driveclub. Again that's a Sony Stan exclusive. It's insecurity and its disgusting

Comparisons not favoring DC?? last I knew, DC looked amazing from a few weeks ago. I don't know where you're drawing your conclusions from.

Yup, and it looked "amazing" at e3 last year

FH2 is a masterpiece?? You played it?? it came out?? This is straight up trolling bullshyt right here and you know it.

FH1 is, FH2 is an improvement in every way.

and the game was delayed. Big fukking deal.

The deal is that there's a bunch of lies going on. Either they knew the game wasn't gonna be ready or the game wasn't as early a build as they claim it is. Either way you Stans lied to yourself throwing all logic out the window, just to believe their story.

Not being a big fan of sim racers or the tired NFS games doesn't mean I'm not open to games that are actually fun. I may not care about NFS:Rivals, but a game like say Split Second 2, or Motorstorm apocalypse or San Francisco Rush, PGR or Forza Horizon 2 is interesting to me since they're not strictly sims nor are they the typical bland NFS trash that comes out every year.

It's funny you say this because DC seems to be very similar to some of those early closed track NfS games. It's exactly what came to mind when watching/reading previews of DC

 

[Fatboi1]

You can post all day. That doesn't help your anemic argument.

What part of "they don't show Pre alpha games that are due out in 3 months at e3" don't you understand. That Pre-alpha nonsense was just an excuse after people didn't like the game.

Oh so I guess you have proof that the Driveclub shown last year at E3 was not pre-alpha I suppose?
Every previewer mentioned that but you for some reason, believe it's just an excuse to excuse a "shytty" game huh?? We're going full circle now idiot.

And everyone who played the games said forza looked better, only stanboys such as yourself tried to say otherwise.

I played Forza, I seen gifs of DC gameplay and the DC gifs looked better.
This gif looked better than Forza.

That's just old footage too.

Only reason it could be a bloodbath is when you come in with some of your nonsense. You didn't see anybody in the FH2 thread talking about driveclub. Again that's a Sony Stan exclusive. It's insecurity and its disgusting

Like these??


http://www.thecoli.com/posts/8693539/
http://www.thecoli.com/posts/8695289/ This dude outright exclaims that FH2 will control better based off of tales from his ass. I'm not even going to quote PS4.

Look at this shyt??

Ask resident detective @daze23 and he'll tell you it's justified because reasons. Did you find the evidence showing that "Sony stans" propped up Driveclub against Forza or are you again lying?? You always purport to be some objective guy but you favor these Xbots far too often.

I made it easier for you.

Here's the search results for "Driveclub" in the Ps4 reveal thread back in February of last year. Look to find where Forza was brought up by "sony stans" in comparison to Driveclub.

Yup, and it looked "amazing" at e3 last year

Idk, just a guess but sometimes devs showcase builds of a game in trailers that are newer than what they typically show on game showfloors. Just a thought.

FH1 is, FH2 is an improvement in every way.

The deal is that there's a bunch of lies going on. Either they knew the game wasn't gonna be ready or the game wasn't as early a build as they claim it is. Either way you Stans lied to yourself throwing all logic out the window, just to believe their story.

The game still had about 4 months to go. It could've either been rushed to meet that deadline or delayed. Idk why that train of thought is so hard to understand.

It's funny you say this because DC seems to be very similar to some of those early closed track NfS games. It's exactly what came to mind when watching/reading previews of DC

Oh really?? Driveclub reminded you of high speed cop chases and open road racing from titles like Most wanted?? Get the hell outta here man You are so frigging dishonest.
