    If it wasn’t for the delisting and server shutdown, it would be a contender for one of the best racing games on PlayStation 4. Atmosphere was beautiful, car list was great, the handling was amazing, and overall, if you want a Gran Turismo on PlayStation 4 before Sport, then this is the game for you. I give it a 9 out of 10 without the DLCs.

    First I need to say: never play SONY Gran Turismo 7 in "Ray Tracing enabled" mode, because the quality is terrible, it seems to be playing on a SONY PS3, the image resolution at the time of rendering seems to be reduced to 720p and it seems to be just stretched to 1080p/2160p.

    And even in Performance mode, which will present the best graphics quality and resolution (it appears to be    First I need to say: never play SONY Gran Turismo 7 in "Ray Tracing enabled" mode, because the quality is terrible, it seems to be playing on a SONY PS3, the image resolution at the time of rendering seems to be reduced to 720p and it seems to be just stretched to 1080p/2160p.

    And even in Performance mode, which will present the best graphics quality and resolution (it appears to be rendered at 1080p) still the graphics quality of the SONY Gran Turismo 7 game is absolutely disappointing, considering the 9.2 TFLOPs of graphics capacity promised by SONY for the SONY PS5.

    Just to give you an idea, the Take-Two GTA5 (SONY PS4 Pro version) looks better graphically than the SONY GT7 on the SONY PS5 console.

    In fact, running SONY Drive Club game (SONY PS4 version as it was never remastered even for SONY PS4 Pro), through Backward Compatibility mode on SONY PS5, SONY Drive Club still looks better graphically than GT7 on SONY PS5.

    When I say GRAPHICALLY, I'm referring to how real (close to reality) the image looks, I'm not referring to frames per second or resolution.

    Honestly, my disappointment is such that I would rather pay this price for the SONY Drive Club game remastered for SONY PS5 than this SONY Gran Turismo 7 game that disappointed me horribly in terms of Graphics Quality.

    SONY, forget about Ray Tracing, we want Quality Graphics!

    When it comes to gameplay, I still prefer SONY Drive Club. The only things I like about Gran Turismo 7 are the Museum, the Car Mall, and the fact that it's the same Car Simulator that follows the pattern of the Gran Turismo series, in addition to keeping the same Tracks from the series, as I did.

    But Graphically, the picture is so disappointing that I feel that I was assaulted by the high price charged by SONY for this SONY GT 7 game with these graphics that when playing on SONY PS5, it looks like they are actually being run by SONY PS4 Pro when it is running. in "Performance mode", and appears to run on a SONY PS3 when running in "Ray Tracing mode enabled".

    But the worst thing about a game, which is marketed in physical media, is the internet connection required to play, especially Career and/or Single Player mode.
    In fact, I really liked being able to play with split screen, me and 03 friends competing, with the screen divided into 04, using the same Console.

    That's why it's not worth buying the SONY PS5 or the SONY PS4... oh, how much regret.... The best is GT 6 on SONY PS3, there's no way... Besides, I have a 3D Projector with Active 3D glasses, and I have many Blu-ray Disc 3D movies, but only SONY PlayStation 3 supports 3D.

    SONY PS5 and SONY PS4/PS4 Pro will have an advantage over SONY PS3 only in the fact that it supports SONY PS VR, but the graphics quality on SONY PS5 should be much better than SONY PS4/PS4 Pro on VR.

    Anyway, the best game for SONY PS4/PS4 Pro & SONY PS5 is without a doubt the game: SONY Drive Club.
    The last best SONY Gran Turismo was GT6 for Career mode, and GT Sport for graphics.

    But between GT Sport and Drive Club, I prefer Drive Club, especially since Drive Club's graphics are better even than GT7's graphics (which are already better than GT Sport's graphics).
    That is, Drive Club is better than all games in the Gran Turismo series, including Gran Turismo 7, Drive Club is better, especially in graphics quality.

    GT7 is better than GT Sport in graphics quality, but in gameplay, GT7 is the worst game in the history of the Gran Turismo series.
    GT Sport is better than GT6 in graphics quality, but in gameplay, GT Sport is the second worst game in the history of the Gran Turismo series.

    GT6 is the best game in the history of the Gran Turismo series.
    On SONY PS3, there is no better racing game than GT6.
    On SONY PS4/PS4 PRO, PS5 there is no better racing game than SONY Drive Club, although it has not been remastered even for the PS4 Pro, so there will never be a remastered version for the PS5.

    The studio that produced SONY Drive Club was shut down by SONY for making the game stupidly better (in graphic quality) and better looking than any other racing game, humiliating the Gran Turismo series games in such a way that SONY shut it down. the Studio that produced Drive Club, in addition, SONY forbade the remastering of the Drive Club game for SONY PS4 Pro and SONY PS5, as the game was so graphically beautiful that it would make people repulse spending money and play Gran Turismo games.

    Gran Turismo Sport was released to try to make people forget about Drive Club, but the failure of "advance in graphics quality" between GT Sport and GT7 is so massive that it's impossible not to compare it to Drive Club and note that both, GT Sport and GT7, are inferior to the Drive Club, graphically.

    I recommend your last GT game to be GT6, only available for SONY PS3. If you have a SONY PS4/PS4 Pro/PS5, I strongly recommend, just play Drive Club & Drive Club VR. Stop wasting time with Gran Turismo Sport and Gran Turismo 7!    … Expand

    This is the best looking car racing game I have played. Cars and weather is done beautifully here. If you are into driving simulators you probably won't like this one because Driveclub is more an arcade game. It is a shame that you cannot customise and buy cars. You can only change car paint. That's a shame but despite that this game is seriously fun to play.

It can be really frustrating with some cars on some race tracks that are nearly impossible to master, the AI that is incredibly hard to beat, but it has a ton of content and can be really challenging.

    It's one of the best driving games I have played in a long time. It's very well balanced, it's not too "Arcady" bit just the right amount. I would compare the driving style with Forza. The reason why it only get an 8 on the ratings is because they charge extra for a lot of the cars in the game. Speaking of cars I think the game in general just need some more cars.

    The gameplay has a Project Gotham like points system and it's addictive, the graphics are stunning, and the cars are rendered to a near obsessive degree. All of the 100+ cars and Motorcycles (yes Superbikes were added) feel incredibly lifelike and distinctly different.

    The weather fx are the best i have ever seen in a videogame and they alter the gameplay immensely. From thunder and lightning rain storms, to blizzard like conditions with zero visibility Driveclub has every type of weather you could ask for.

    The season pass is a steal with the ridiculous amount of content and the sheer number of freebies you get with the base game is astounding. The Driveclub BIKES expansion released yesterday (Tue. October 27, 2015) and it's truly AWESOME. The BIKES expansion includes a who's who of superbike manufacturers like Kawasaki, Ducati, Yamaha, BMW, Honda, Dark Horse ect.

    The graphics, gameplay,club aspect, and incredible amount of support have made Driveclub the premier racer on the market today. The BIKES expansion just adds that much more life (and fun!) to an already lively game. A 10/10.    … Expand

The graphic of Driveclub (2014) still looks awesome and is best in class. Neither Gran Turismo Sport nor Forza 7 (both 2017) can beat Driveclub, both look like last generation games compared to Driveclub. Driveclub basically is the Destiny of racing games. The gameplay and progression system is great. The driving experience feels asolutely real, the cockpit perspective is so awesome - I cannot play Project Cars 2, and other racing games anymore, they are all generations behind. Sure the driving physics is in no way as realistic as GT Sports or even Assetto Corsa, but it's a nice middle ground between Arcade a la recent Need for Speed games and Assetto Corsa. Unfortunately Sony closed down the developer studio, though many devs moved over to Codemaster to work on an still unannouced game - so let's hope they brought over their awesome game engine and the great driving model.… Expand

Driveclub is a true to it's name racer no powerups, open world areas or cops to get in the way. Driveclub is a professional racing game but not a racing simulator. Driveclub is a good experience either way if you love cars and the thrill of racing like I do. Driveclub isn't perfect though it has it's fair share of issues such as aggressive AI (sometimes) and confusing tracks, but the graphics and sound effects are perfect and well implemented. Driveclub is a good game for racing fans chances are if you enjoy games like the Crew this game will feel more complex but familial. If you are into action packed highway battles then turn away! This game is not for you! I guess I am the rare breed of gamer who can respect Need For Speed's action packed gameplay as well as Driveclubs realistic gameplay and races. The music in the main menu are exhilarating and get me in the mood to race. Driveclub also has a good leveling system while based on how you drive you earn fame that will go to you leveling up and unlocking more vehicles and challenges. Driveclub is a cup of tea that's not for everyone the hardcore racing fans might be turned of by lacking features and easier gameplay compared to the bigger titles out there. While as the arcade racing fans might be turned of by a lack of excitement and nitrous. Casual gamer may simply find the game to boring to play. I say it is a good game to pick up and play because it is as close to a racer you will get without having to buy a simulator and the complex and expensive equipment needed to play with said game. Driveclub can get difficult at times but the game can be learned by almost anyone if just a few games. That does not mean necessarily that Driveclub is a bad game but it is a unique experience.… Expand

    Driveclub is a must-have for any PS4 racing fan. It’s ideal for anyone who enjoys a good arcade racer. It’s challenging, but teaches you how to overcome every single one. Because of this, Driveclub is far more rewarding than its peers. This coupled with fantastic graphical fidelity, impressive sound design, and adrenaline-inducing sense of speed makes Driveclub one of the best racing games available on current-gen systems.

    The sense of speed offered by Driveclub reminded me of the brilliant first GRID and I was having a lot of fun until I realized that cars are indestructible. Whether you stroke a wooden fence or smash into another vehicle at 300 km/h your car drives exactly the same afterwards. [Dec 2014, p.66]
