Was watching a HQ stream on ps4 last night and sipping a few glasses of wine. For £34.99 i've decided to take the plunge and pre-order. I think the wine helped as l never buy from the store if there's a BluRay available.

 

[Namikaze]

The PS+ version isn't preloadable, is it? That would be great. PSN servers are gonna get manhandled on Tuesday.

Nope, unfortunately.

 

[derek212]

Nope, unfortunately.

What time does the preload start ? It says today

 

[madp0k]

Cancelled my amazon pre order, which Ive had for over year because of my concerns about the shadows, the off road timer and the floating cars

Spoiler

and bought it off the psn for 10 quid cheaper can't wait 4 days 7 hrs woop woop

Destiny released on a Tuesday in the UK.

Only the completely free edition will not preload.
If you bought the upgrade, then it will.

Here's a safe way to witness the mass bandwidth murder that I committed in the last few pages

I could probably convince many older relatives that a few of these are real life footage. The lighting is stupidly good...as are the cars, the sound and the environments.

Try target on 225th street a friend got it there early you just have to ask for it. Just find the right person who looks like they do know or care about street dates. I would have brought it to but I got it digitally.

He must have got lucky. I have a feeling it'll give a street date error when it's scanned. Might try, but it's a bit of a trek from Brooklyn. Thanks for the heads up!

 

[Haloid1177]

Skipped Alien Isolation and just preordered this. What's supposed to be in the season pass?

 

[Wavering Radiant]

Can someone with the game please tell me how many digits you are allowed for a club name?

I'm trying to work on a team name for the GAF Driveclub season. Thanks!

I'd like to know this as well.

 

[le-seb]

We've seen no fog footage whatsoever though. In fact it's not even been discussed anywhere.

Maybe it's just because you can't see shit in fog?

See, they said they would probably limit snow and rain effects so that they don't make the game unplayable / not enjoyable.
I would be really surprised if there's no fog conditions in the game.

 

[hwy_61]

Nope, unfortunately.

Tuesday is gonna SUUUUUCKKKK

 

[Jedi2016]

Can the controls be remapped? I'm a twin-stick driver for racing games, never did like using the triggers.

 

[nib95]

WOW. Close your eyes and imagine driving at break neck speed to this track:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eg5vtHoNQ8k

Awesome. Sorry Rushy! Music is going back on lol, at least after I've fully experienced the engine notes of each car.

If Driveclub is anything like Motorstorm, it became really unfairly hard towards the end of the campaign. I had already gotten like 10+ hours of great SP racing so it didn't bug me but it was majorly cheap.

Bit worried about this myself. Still, as long as the challenge is fun.

38 cars, 176 events, 80 liveries

plus the free stuff

EDIT: beaten

 

[mangochutney]

Destiny released on a Tuesday in the UK.

So have a great number of games.

Specifically on Sony's PS4 retail titles, inFamous was worldwide. Bloodborne will be worldwide. The Order will be worldwide.

But, LBP3 won't be. This won't be. SingStar won't be.

 

[Konosuke]

If my friend is remembering correctly 15 characters is the max.

 

[Jimrpg]

Nope, unfortunately.

Bizarre and wrong. This ps+ edition has been poorly handled in general.

 

[hwy_61]

Same with FH2, I always avoid buying the season pass until the first car pack. If I like what I see, I usually buy the pass then.

Bizarre and wrong. This ps+ edition has been poorly handled in general.

Agreed. Sony pls.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Bizarre and wrong. This ps+ edition has been poorly handled in general.

Indeed, doesnt make sense to not allow the PS Plus version be preloaded.

 

[NHale]

So Sony is blocking Twitch streams? Because only some UStream streams are available on Live on Playstation.

Stupid decision considering UStream IQ is terrible.

 

[Loudninja]

Bizarre and wrong. This ps+ edition has been poorly handled in general.

Nothing bizarre about it.

PS plus games had never had the preload.

 

[IAmRandom31]

Bizarre and wrong. This ps+ edition has been poorly handled in general.

Atleast there is a ps+ edition and not just a demo. You will be able to experience 1/5th the full game and get a major taste of the product for free. Pretty sure that is well handled. We just have to wait for what 6:00pm or so? No biggie.

 

[hwy_61]

Nothing bizarre about it.

PS plus games had never had the preload.

But that doesn't mean they can't start now. And what better game to do it with than the ONLY first party game with a free version you have for the holidays.

I'll go an extra step: it would've be wise of them to have released it this weekend for everyone to play. Probably would've ended up with more preorders. Maybe that's naive, but they have the ability to do it.

Preload wasnt a thing until last month

turn on translate caption. that's where the magic's at.

 

[Late Flag]

I personally liked how Motorstorm got tough as hell in the later events. You had know every inch of the track like the back of your hand to have any chance of winning most of the races once you got past stage five or so. I spent lots of time just running time trials to get the tracks completely nailed down so I could advance through the festival.

Maybe they just need an option to turn down the AI somehow. Mod Nation Racers is another game that caught a lot of flak for being too hard/cheap, and they patched in an easier difficulty level for the folks who just wanted to play the content without getting all OCD about finding the optimal line.

But it is not free.

 

[Handy Fake]

I see we've moved on from overly realistic shadows to preloading now.

Good good, carry on.

 

[IAmRandom31]

But it is not free.

Really so when I hit the button for Download on the game it is going to ask me for money?

Man good to know. Is it 10$? 5$?

 

[derek212]

From bk ? Not worth it ! I thought you was in manhattan already within train distance. Maybe someone from bk can help you bro. I'm a few bus stops away from 225

LBP3 was cancelled?

 

[Hedrush]

But, LBP3 won't be. This won't be. SingStar won't be.

Yeah I know that mate. But the thing is, why do I need to wait until Friday (UK) to play the full game when I can pre load it two days before. I will even be able to download the ps+ demo on the Wednesday and play that even tho I will have the full game pre loaded on my console. It really sucks

 

[Heroman]

Really so when I hit the button for Download on the game it is going to ask me for money?

It not free cause you are paying for ps plus.

 

[LapinAgile]

I see we've moved on from overly realistic shadows to preloading now.

Good good, carry on.

The shadows are too realistic? Pre-load cancelled.

 

[hwy_61]

LBP3 was cancelled?

Oops. Forgot about LBP. I'll edit my post!

 

[Scully Scully Scoo]

PS+ isn't free though.

ps+ is for playing online, the monthly games are to sweeten the deal. im not paying for ps+ just to get driveclub

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Really so when I hit the button for Download on the game it is going to ask me for money?

It is 50 dollars a year (a package with a bunch of other games are included though).

 

[Handy Fake]

Driveclub: Shadow Of Fourdoor.

The joys of dipping in and out of the insanity on a whim; I missed that.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Indeed, doesnt make sense to not allow the PS Plus version be preloaded.

They would need a system in place to disallow people from preloading content that wouldn't be able to own due to their subscription would run out right before it's released. I thought about dtrategically subbing only for the free games I wanted tied to my account until I was ready to commit all the way with those games waiting.


Anyway yoy might as well look at preload as a service for people that preordered a game.

 

[hwy_61]

It is 60 dollars a year.

They raised it? Used to be $50.

 

[mangochutney]

Yeah I know that mate. But the thing is, why do I need to wait until Friday (UK) to play the full game when I can pre load it two days before. I will even be able to download the ps+ demo on the Wednesday and play that even tho I will have the full game pre loaded on my console. It really sucks

Because that is the release date.

And the PS+ Edition will be downloadable from Friday in the UK, not Wednesday.

 

[IAmRandom31]

PS+ isn't free though.

If you want to go off value then Ps+ paid for itself in April with all the free games up to that point. So I've been getting over my 50$ value since then.

Pretty ridiculous argument anyway. I don't have to pay outright for DriveClub Ps+ edition so guess what it's free. Deal with it. Would you feel better if they stopped giving free games and made you pay 5$ or something?

Also my sub is for online gaming not free games. Soooo ....

 

[williamracine]

Still waiting for preload here. Why this download haven't started @ 3am eastern time !!!!!
