During Sony's increasingly hazy unveiling of the PS4 last week, we didn't get to see much of the Evolution Studios-developed racer "DriveClub" in action beyond an almost pornographically-detailed seat texture demo. But some of the assembled journalists did get some face time with Matt Southern, boss at the studio behind "World Championship Rally" and "Motorstorm," who laid out some of his team's lofty ambitions for the next-gen racer, which include Facebook challenges (it will have them) and trying to enhance the game outside of the game (hey, do you have a tablet?).
"DriveClub," according to Southern, will hit the sweet spot between racing sim and arcade title, part of the "everything to everyone" approach some devs are rallying around (this seems to be the vision of Bungie's "Destiny" as well). Ultimately, though, Southern was pretty tight-lipped about "DriveClub"--par for the course with anything involving the PS4, which Sony has been maddeningly evasive about.

One of the many game announcements at last night’s PlayStation 4 event was Motorstorm developer Evolution Studio’s new racing title, Driveclub. The game will be the result of a staff of developers who have prior experience on numerous other hit racers, including Gran Turismo, Wipeout, and Project Gotham Racing. While details are currently scarce, a PlayStation Blog post from game director Matt Southern offered some insight into the development process, stating that the intended goals are to deliver a super high-quality visual experience with the PS4′s improved graphical horsepower, as well as make an asynchronous game that makes use of social networking features for multiplayer.
A brief announcement trailer was also released, showcasing the visual style players can expect to see in the final product. It can be viewed below:
