In that case they should really skim the PS+ version down - something like 1 country/3 variations and half a dozen cars.

Good call actually, Amazon have finally put them on their site, £250 so worth getting and knowing it will work.
You should because you are blocking it's vents.

PS+ upgrade route here in the UK gets 3 additional DLC cars
They are just instant access to 3 cars in the game, but each comes with a special livery.

I guess it's too old by now, but will my "good old" PS2 Logitech Driving Force GT Wheel work with DrivingClub?

Thought I'd heard that somewhere. Ah, well, no big deal for me. I'm actually thinking I'll be playing this a bit through my vita too at home, especially if there are some grindy type of trophies that require many races.
Thanks to Horns from the Shadow of Mordor OT.
Target wouldn't sell me a copy this morning. More interestingly, they had Driveclub in a week and a half early.

This game man. Saw some footage, and some of the tracks are just "Next Gen Gran Turismo". One Norwegian track is like an homage to Grand Valley Speedway with tunnels and bridges!!!

This is why "cloudy with a chance of jaw drops" feels like the perfect OT title.
The muted colors and long shadows from the sundown are just awesome.

Unf, I really, REALLY need to buy a PS4. There are too many great games I am missing out on. This game looks incredible and the more racing games there are, the happier I am!

This is something I've been waiting for in lots of games. Play at Christmas and some of the trees have Christmas lights in them. Play on Halloween and some of the spectators are wearing Halloween costumes. And like you said, the seasons reflect the real seasons. But why not go further and have it tied in with the weather from your region? It could be a setting you turn on to make sure the randomness is still there if you want it.

I SWEAR i saw a quote somewhere about DC, where they mentioned that the courses would change/evolve from year to year. Whether that was early plans that got scrapped, or is still something they are considering,I'm not sure.

Not to shit on everyone's parade, but a gamekult forum dweller has access to the complete game, and his opinion will ruffle some feathers for sure :
It is content starved. The music is mediocre. The visuals so-so, apparently; as in good, but not great...A forgettable title is what he was hinting at, basically. Keep your expectations in check!

So we should keep are expectations in check base one what gamekult says like seriously?
We have the PS plus version so we can judge for ourselves thank you.

Holy shit, that would be incredible. One of my favorite memories in all racing games is driving the old school Alfa Grand Prix car on a snow covered Ring in PGR4. I would love to be able to recreate that feeling in this game.

Based on seasons? No they said they were hand picked, even last year. The vegetation, sun, star positions are accurate to whatever season they picked.

Would be a cool feature update though!
To be fair, I think the idea of adjusting expectations from the words of someone who's really played the game, then being pleasantly surprised is a pretty excellent way to go about this stuff. Coming in with realistic rather than stratospheric expectations is the best way to enjoy a game for what it is.

I don't think it was specifically based on seasonal changes - just that they would have the ability to modify the courses in certain ways.

Don't be so defensive, buddy...I am merely passing on the impressions of a forum member who has the game and who ended up being disappointed. Nothing more, nothing less. Make of that what you will...
Sure but like I said we can try it for ourselves.
Project Cars is doing something akin to your last point. You can select a date and the game will then have the weather how it was on that specific date in the location of the track. Our something like that. I heard it in a dev interview video.
Thrustmaster T300 Ferrari GTE is £240
Sure but like I said we can try it for ourselves.
R...right. At a later point in time. Which if people start playing it expecting something more than what's there, they might be more annoyed with the game than if they came in with a better sense of what it has to offer. You know. Expectations. Do you follow?
I like playing a game for what it offers, not the game marketing and my own hopes has made in my mind.

To be honest, i'm expecting DC to review a lot less than Horizon, around 7-8 based on its lack of content mainly. I think from what we saw the game looks like it lacks content and options but in my case all i want is a good looking next-gen racer with fun gameplay, sense of speed and intense situations. If they can deliver that then i'm a happy man !
I've been a fan of Evolution Studios long enough to know the kind of games and quality they bring. I'm confident i'll like it !

Alright, here's the quote I was thinking of:

I suppose it's possibly that they misquoted Evolution, but that seems like a pretty specific statement to screw up.

I mean on the fly though. If it's connected to the internet and it has access to your internal console clock, I see no problem for it to search for the whether in your region and what time of year it is. Imagine looking out of your window at it snowing and seeing a Christmas tree in someones yard, and then when you play Driveclub it's snowing and the trees have Christmas lights in them. I think that would be pretty damned cool.
We've straight-up seen that in the streams already, the game looks tense with the right competition. I feel like this was their focus, outside of having a nice variety to the settings.
Case in point. Yeowza.
Yeah some good stuff here.

The decorative painting on the black hatchback has a different texture and reflective index than the rest of the paintwork. It's fairly impressive.

You know, I can see some of those complaints, but this is not the first time I've heard people say the visuals aren't up to par. I just cannot accept that being a complaint, given everything we've seen from direct feed gameplay videos, and even the offscreen stuff. In what realm is this not the best looking racer ever created?
