Looks like Driveclub PS+ Edition might not be coming today

I do wonder if there were technical difficulties or if server congestion made them decide for a small delay to space it out? Frustrating regardless, I'd like to see the PS4 get pushed and if the game happens to be an enjoyable enough racing game, but it's just completely missing.

EDIT: Actually, the most frustrating is the complete silence. It's one thing to say it'll be up later today, got delayed a week, or even just a non-committal "we'll give more details later," but here it's just like it never existed.
 
Incredibly disappointing.

With this and the botched rollout of MLB The Show, Sony treats its digital only customers like second class citizens.
 
Well to be fair those guys seem to hate everything.
They weren't even sure what the PS Plus Edition was. And they obviously never had any interest in this game, it was ridiculed by them the moment it was announced.

At any rate, hopefully this edition shows up soon. Pretty shitty of Sony to overlook this thing they promised fans a long ass time ago.

Don't worry, I'll vouch for them.

The full game is available to download, just not the PS+ Edition yet. So digital only buyers are okay.

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.

No, they are mostly positive with some mixed.

Sony made a very big deal about Driveclub being free. To not launch it today is tremendously disappointing—especially because it never said the PS+ version would come later.

yea but as someone who owns the game: wait for a free way to play it before taking that dip. I like the game as stated before, however it's a different animal than I imagined prior to release.

You're right. My thinking is the first thing a lot of people would think.

Delay the free Driveclub "just a bit" maybe a day, or later tonight or some shit... to make people buy the regulatar edition first.


I'm not into conspiracy theories but I mean, there is so many people who say "fuck it, i was probably going to buy it anyway" they can get those sales before the people who held out waiting to check it out on psn plus and figured "ehhh...nah, i'll save my 60 bucks."

Just my theory of course.

Again, today is not even over. PSN updates are notoriously random. Hell it isn't even 3pm PST.

I would totally be behind this thread and complaints if it was Wednesday right now....I just think all this is premature.

This is shaping up to be another train wreck of a release. Already decided not to buy the retail. I am gambling on the Plus release, and hope it'll come tomorrow in EU. If not, then fuck this game.

As much as I love the PS4, it seems to be a long wait for something truly special to arrive. The best games of this year are shaping up to be TLoU and GTA V. For next year I can already feel The Order is not going to set the world on fire too.

I'm thinking the exact same thing. And it irks me. If its server issues, then they should at least tweet it. Saying,due to server issues / load we need to delay the ps edition for a few days.

For them to just not even mention it in the blog post is so...overtly covering something up, lol. They obviously know it was the most hyped of the PS+ titles for this month, so it's so funny that they just didn't put it there at all and didn't say a word, like we would forget or something.
 
Half full, half empty, whatever.

I need to see the tracks and feel the cars to know for myself.

With no + edition "demo" I am not paying $50 for this. I'll just keep playing destiny.

Right. Or Velocity 2X, or Spelunky, or Dust, etc... or any of the other games we've all got access to via PS+ within the past month.

Still looking forward to mucking about with DC when the PS+ drops, but the idea of outrage re: a delay of something one wasn't paying for anyway by a day or so is kinda crazy. Disappointment? Sure. Anger? lol wat

such as...

You're not paying for it. You're not gambling on anything. The only thing you lose by not playing it is... not playing it. You've lost zero dollars. If something you're not paying for doesn't arrive in an expected time frame then... fuck it? haha wow.
