- Fans recently appreciated Driveclub for how well the game has aged.
- A former producer also complemented the game and noted that he would return for a remaster project.
- The game still runs at 30FPS on PS5, so a remaster would be a great idea.
PlayStation has long been part of the racing games genre, experimenting with various franchises such as Motorstorm and Gran Turismo.
During the first year of the PS4’s lifespan, PlayStation also launched Driveclub. The game was dubbed a social racing experience that captures the feeling of blazing-fast speeds in all types of supercars. Although it failed to make a huge impact, the original developers and fans continue to look back on the game fondly.
Why it matters: Racing fans are starved for variety at the moment, with a few core franchises making up the bulk of modern racing games. The likes of Burnout, Driveclub, and more are greatly missed in this era.
Like the developers, fans also believe Driveclub is a forgotten gem. In particular, the game’s visuals continue to stand out for their breathtaking art style, which depicted photorealism despite the technical limitations of the last generation.
On Twitter, a user noted that Driveclub still looks on par with modern AAA titles all these years later, and soon, a producer joined the conversation. According to Roger Godfrey, the game remains a career highlight for him.
He also expressed a desire to work on a PS5 remaster of the game. This is important since Driveclub, despite its many positives, still runs at a low resolution and 30FPS on the PS5.
Evolution Studio, the team behind both Driveclub and Motostorm, was shut down after the game failed to meet PlayStation’s expectations. However, Roger Godfrey is willing to collaborate with many of the original developers on a remaster project.
PlayStation has also recently developed a reputation for being too focused on remasters. Unfortunately, Driveclub is unlikely to receive the same treatment since the gaming giant favors big IPs like Spider-Man and God of War when considering remasters.
Still, fan projects like the ShadPS4 emulator could breathe new life into these lesser-recognised games on PC.
Do you think a Driveclub remaster should happen? Would you revisit the game if it offered 60FPS and improved visuals on PS5? Let’s discuss in the comments and on the Tech4Gamers Forums.
