Sony will strut out onto the stage at Paris Games Week later today, presumably to announce a few games, talk PlayStation VR, PlayStation 4, and maybe even a bit of Vita. Erm, actually, scratch the last bit.
There have been a fair few rumours surrounding Sony's conference, but even we didn't see this one coming: DriveClub Bikes. The PEGI ratings board has rated DriveClub Bikes this morning ahead of the big show this afternoon, but what it is isn't entirely clear. We could be looking at an add-on or, less likely, a standalone bike-centred release.
Evolution will be at Paris Games Week, this much we know, so we're just going to go ahead and assume that DriveClub Bikes will get a mention later on today.
It might seem odd to have bikes in DriveClub, but Evolution actually has some pedigree when it comes to two-wheel racing. The studio's fantastic Motorstorm series featured 4x4's, traditional cars, and even motorcycles; plus, some of the team previously worked on the (excuse the language) Xbox exclusive Project Gotham Racing series, which featured bikes, at least in the last instalment.
What do you reckon? Is it a good idea to add motorbikes to the game, or would it be a bit weird going from four wheels to two? Pop a wheelie in the comments section below.

I think adding Bikes in the form of optional DLC would be a great opportunity to extend the franchise and audience. Replaying the tracks would have a whole new dimension with super bikes added. It seems not much tweaking would be needed other than the physics performance and the bike statistics.
Sounds like a great idea if true! Never thought of bikes in Driveclub, but it could certainly add a new dimension to the game.
I used to love using the bike in Motorstorm, fast and nimble - and crashing was always funny.
Wow. This I'm mega excited for, driveclub is great fun and adding bikes to the mega awesome point to point roads. Amazing!!
@Neolit ride is pretty good but having bikes in this with their brilliant tracks I'm mega stoked 😃
Utoh! I mean I love bikes and riding them in the real world but it rarely translates well into video games. We'll see
Is it me or do bike games seem to be really poor now? MotoGP is the same thing every year, Motorcycle Club is awful and Ride was crap
Ride wasn't crap. Just really buggy and hardly any tracks. Has potential but milestone in general are crap. I miss real road racing championship on the ps2 that was the dogs $#@@#@
@Anchorsam_9 The best recent game with motorbikes was GTA5 in my opinion. It seems the more realistic they try to be with it, the worse it gets. Which is understandable, getting round a track on 2 wheels at speed isn't easy.
@kyleforrester87 Yeah, GTA V, as well as being one of my favourite games in a while, is also a really good racing game, I've found
The bikes in pgr were terrible.
@themcnoisy the bikes in PGR were awful, but the bikes in Motorstorm were probably the most fun vehicles to drive. Hopefully, the end-result is more Motorstorm than PGR.
I'd be down for this actually. Can't wait to see what Evolution Studios has been working on.
The best game with bikes was probably sleeping dogs. And I actually meant using the ram mechanics to send them flying...
...
...am I a bad person? Haha.
I assume it's going to be an expansion even though it doesn't fit with the title Driveclub. But then having a game called Rideclub could be seen in different ways
Most languages only use the word drive. So its not all that strange really.
It would be good expansion as there aren't many great bike games.
Cool. Hope it'll be great. Motorcycle Club was an awful motorcycle game so I hope Driveclub will spark some light with this idea.
