This team-based racer has apparently been 10 years in the making, but the "borderline insane" levels of detail (the words of Evolution Studios' Matt Southern, not ours) look to have paid off. Yet while it looks predictably stunning, there's some cleverer stuff under the hood. As well as real-time multiplayer, this taps into asymmetrical competition and Sony's huge new social focus, which has you setting challenges and reaping rewards from playing in groups, like squad-based first-person shooters. If Sony nails the PS4's social skin as much as it promises, this is sure to be one of the first to reap the rewards.
