The current generation of consoles are social machines that allow gamers to share their experiences as much as possible. Developed for the PlayStation 4, Driveclub is the racing game’s answer to this, offering a community experience in a genre that has traditionally been focused on competition. Along with other novelties, Driveclub has enough to stand out from the crowd. However, Driveclub has some serious impediments that keep it from competing properly with other racing games on the market.
Club
The main feature of Driveclub are the clubs. Clubs are teams of up to six players who work together to earn points and climb the social rankings. You can do this by competing in multiplayer events and races, working alongside others in your club to beat all the competitors you meet. Thankfully, the multiplayer aspect works well and there are few issues with connecting to other players.
Once online, you can get stuck in an in-depth challenge system. This is a major contributor to social rankings and they help foster a sense of community. You can send any of your recent races to friends to see if they can beat your time or performance. It is also possible to make these challenges open to the public for an added sense of accomplishment. The more people participate, the greater the reward for the winner of the challenge. While many titles have similar systems, it works particularly well here thanks to clubs and the general sense of competition.
