It’s time to share our passion, to show you the first glimpse of Driveclub and we can’t wait to show you more. This isn’t cockpit view this is first-person-racing.Īnd now, almost a decade later, we’re finally making the game we’ve always wanted to make. The result is staggeringly immersive and visceral. We collaborated with the best car companies in the world, working with them to create the most detailed and authentic car interiors and exteriors possible. We used our PlayStation Vita launch game as a bridge between MotorStorm and Driveclub, testing our theories about connecting social networks with asynchronous challenge-based racing on multiple devices at the same time.

We expanded our vehicle handling and design team so that together, we have over 50 years’ experience working on the most prestigious racing titles out there, including – WRC, Formula 1, Gran Turismo, MotorStorm, WipEout, Project Gotham Racing, GRID 2 and many more. It was time to combine nearly 15 years of racing game pedigree and a rapidly evolving, connected gaming landscape – this seed of an idea was ready to be realized and the buzz at Evo was unstoppable.

When we knew PlayStation 4 was coming, we realised that the time was right to make the Driveclub dream a reality. Our concept was simple, but needed a socially connected network and audiovisual technology that wasn’t available. We created web design concepts that showed how you could connect with people and access your club when you were away from the living room, and we created prototypes of the most immersive, detailed vehicle interiors and exteriors possible.Įxcept…they weren’t possible. It was about connecting people who are as in love with car culture as we are, and creating a universe for these impassioned racers to all play together. The game was all about utter car passion. It combined the best cars (and they would have to be real ones), on the most breathtaking roads in the world, with gameplay that was totally focused on team-based racing. When I joined Evo nine years ago, the first concept I worked on was for a racing game that was all about racing with friends. This is what was posted on the PlayStation blog: However, following disappointing sales of 2018’s Onrush, several members of the Codemasters EVO development division, including Rustchynsky, were reportedly let go and the division shifted towards a support role for other titles, such as this month’s Dirt 5.Ī PS5 advertising spot released this week confirmed that Gran Turismo 7 is scheduled for release in the first half of 2021.Another one of the new PlayStation 4 game demos came in the form of Driveclub, and we have the trailer.

So keep the hope!”Īsked if he would like to work on any new projects related to either series, Rustchynsky said he’d “love to if the circumstances were right”. I’d say chances are low, but I wouldn’t rule it out. Switching attention to MotorStorm, Rustchynsky added: “Sony owns the IP & could resurrect it at any time, but I’m not aware of any projects underway. “Sony have GT as their key racing franchise & the cost to bring even a remaster back would cost a fortune in licensing,” he explained. Rustchynsky was lead designer on MotorStorm Pacific Rift Rustchynsky went on to state that he thinks a remaster or sequel for DriveClub was “extremely unlikely”. The Evo team has done everything possible to make your wait for DRIVECLUB worth it and it’s the support we get from players that really spurs us on.
