The PS Blog Store update makes absolutely no mention of it. It's as if the PS+ Edition doesn't even exist.

 

[Zabuza]

That's not really enough proof.

 

[Iacobellis]

An 11 month delay and now this?

 

[_DiGiTaL_]

Thought some said it was due tomorrow? At least that is what I heard for EU.

 

[UnlovedJew]

I guess that sort of makes sense, but it is weird for them to do given the way they actively went out of their way to make all the PS Plus freebies available on the first Tuesday of every month.

 

[Flo_Evans]

Not a good look.

Really was excited for this game, reviews seem poor to mixed. Was going to try out the driving for myself with the + edition, but without that, no sale.

 

[Impeccable]

Sony just shot themselves in the foot.

 

[Eusis]

That's not really enough proof.

It's not ENOUGH proof, but it's really damning to not have any mention of it with the official PSN store update, and that usually comes after they slowly add stuff to the store and get their shit sorted out.

 

[Starviper]

I've been waiting for DC to drop all day so I could remote play on my Vita.

 

[Zabuza]

I agree it's very strange to not mention it when it was in the Plus video for the month.

 

[nbnt]

Shhhhhh, they want people to buy it.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Reviews were worse than they expected?

Spoiler

j/k

Might be some technical issue, as in they can't list the game for free somehow. Right now, there are two listings of the game on the store. One for the PS+ edition (discount) and the other for the regular edition (retail). There is no free version though.

 

[LAA]

Says 8th/10th October on PS EU Blog.

 

[D1renegade]

Terrible if true

 

[Ferrio]

Well now I'm sad I signed up for 12 months of this.

 

[BadHand]

It makes sense that they draw this one out - I keep looking at the $49.99 version and licking my lips.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!

Spoiler

I'm sure she's not to blame

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Yeah, it should be up by now. It's not coming. What a joke.

 

[def sim]

That'd be a bummer, but at least there's Spelunky.

 

[xxracerxx]

Today is not over.

 

[_DiGiTaL_]

I been playing Driveclub off and on since last night only level 8. But it is worth it for the $50 in my opinion. My only issue with the game is some of the music sucks.

 

[Fushichou187]

Sony just shot themselves in the foot.

lol how?

"The thing I was going to download for free today won't be available until tomorrow." ?

 

[mocolostrocolos]

I hope is just a mistake.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Says 8th/10th October on PS EU Blog.

EU is almost always Wednesday. PS Plus in NA is always on Tuesday. The way they made it seem in earlier posts was that it was coming today.

 

[BigTnaples]

Damn. Oh well, too much to play right now anyhow. Will download when available. Still plan on buying it, just have tooo much to play right now between Destiny, Shadow of Mordor, Metro Redux and finishing up TLoU a:R. I want Alien: Isolation as well, which complicates things.



Driveclub will definitely get a sale from me though. Looking forward to trying out the PS+ Edition in the mean time.

 

[ironcreed]

Here is to hoping they put it up. I was looking forward to trying the game, despite the reviews.

 

[friskykillface]

Shhhhhh, they want people to buy it.

Pretty much

Wouldn't be surprised if they said
"Since psn updates only on Tuesday it'll be available next Tuesday"

I can wait to soony , I've got splunky to play

 

[IAmRandom31]

Probably giving time for the payers to clog the bandwidth and later tonight will put up the free edition

 

[Ferrio]

Shhhhhh, they want people to buy it.

Which might be a valid argument if there wasn't that whole PS+ upgrade thing.

[friz898]

An 11 month delay and now this?

True.


But after the reviews...

I was ready to buy this, now I'm in cautious territory. I wanted an arcadey game.. but now? I'm going to have to try it on Gamefly or PSN Plus first.

Makes me wonder how it would have been on release date.

 

[Cess007]

I wanted it to be early, so i could download it from work and be ready to play when i get home

 

[Kuro]

Could be a lack of confidence in the game now. People who try the PS+ edition might have second thoughts about buying the full game. I have no idea if its any good or not and want to try it. Especially weary with some of the reviews out there.

 

[IAmRandom31]

True.

Are you people purposefully ignoring the good reviews and player impressions in the OT?

The giantbomb quicklook completely unsold me.

 

[Elios83]

It's coming tomorrow in Europe.

 

[Psychoward]

If I was them I never would have released this the same day anyway, would have waited at least a week. That way people on the fence just end up impulse buying it anyway.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

1) The blog post not mentioning it doesn't mean anything. The game could suddenly appear for download at anytime or... not.

2) Did Sony ever promise the Plus version on release day?

 

[bananafactory]

The giantbomb quicklook completely unsold me.

I've seen a lot of people say this - haven't seen the quick look yet. What about it caused everyone to be skeptical?

I played the game for a couple of hours last night and had a blast.

 

[labaronx]

Or maybe grace chen screwed up and it will still be put up later

Geez

 

[bigbaldwolf86]

http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2014/10/04/week-playstation-25/

It means EU gets it on the 8th and the UK gets it on the 10th (Friday)

 

[LaNaranja]

The giantbomb quicklook completely unsold me.

Well to be fair those guys seem to hate everything.

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2014/10/04/week-playstation-25/

8th for EU, 10th for UK.

Their blog post a few days ago mentioned the Plus version would arrive today: (scroll to the bottom it's there)

[REV 09]

I thought it was strange that the other plus content was up and no mention of the DC plus edition.

"All of these games will be free for Plus members starting October 7th. Watch the video below to see these titles in action."

I'm guessing it's another instance of GCT.

Haha and at the bottom : "The information above is subject to change without notice."

Everybody is really getting angry at them on twitter, they should better put the game online tomorrow...

 

[The Faceless Master]

i wouldn't be surprised at this revelation considering everything else has been up for hours.

well, if they made even one free today, they would be correct in saying "starting on" since they may not have finished making them free, but they would have started!

 

[Fushichou187]

Shhhhhh, they want people to buy it.

Eh, if there wasn't an upgrade path for PS+ Subscribers already I might buy that. The PS+ edition also only has one location and so if some likes the way the game handles and looks, and is having fun with it, I could see them jumping onto the full version for access to some of those other environments. I personally will do this if the game clicks with me as I really like how Scotland and Norway look. Sorry, India.

Are you people purposefully ignoring the good reviews and player impressions in the OT?

Of course they are. C'mon now. This is how forums work.

 

[LuuKyK]

Everything surrounding this game, from development to advertising and actual release, is such a clusterfuck so far. I understand it went through a lot since it changed in direction and everything, but its still no excuse.
