Driveclub weather update out NOW. laawwwwwd.gif
- Thread starter Loudninja
- Start date
I think you'll enjoy it for the graphics alone.
Just when I think I'm starting to become complacent with these graphics.
Totally. Blown. Away.
Tired as fuck. Wanted to do one more Tour event before heading to bed last night. Ended up retrying a drift event for about 30 minutes until I finally got the required score for all 3 stars. I then also proceeded to do a tour race event as well as a club challenge. What was supposed to be 10 minutes of Driveclub before heading to bed, ended up being 90 minutes of Driveclub. God damn this game is great.

Exactly the same.
Seeing a flood of water move across your windshield and then get wiped away when turning hard never gets old.
I have to say that I'm disappointed with their snow. I don't have the game yet but driving in heavy snow usually sells a racing game for me.
I just youtubed several videos of their snow weather expecting that to hype me into buying it but it didn't. Way too rainy looking snow for me.
I'll probably still pick it up eventually but with all the weather hype, and with how good rain looks, I thought that the snow would blow me away.

So which racing games have you bought previously?
I'm a pretty casual driving gamer but I thought the snow in Dirt 3 was particularly fun to drive in. GT5 was good for snow also.
Am i right though, is it very wet looking? I like the sound of the tyres crunching over snow on the actual road.
Isn't that how snow looks when driving through it from a camera's perspective? Looks almost spot-on to me.

And here's heavy snow falling with no car motion.

"What's important to note is that DriveClub's AA is at its best in motion - stopping your car actually accentuates the game's aliasing issues."
I don't recall them mentioning this in the first analysis. It would explain why it looks so clean and I never had a problem with the image quality besides some of the aliasing on the cars.
Yeah, rock solid with all of those particle effects in addition to the lighting engine. Really impressive.

Just throwing this out there, but the Mountain section of the Isle of Man TT course would be absolutely glorious rendered in this engine. (I'm biased though, because I live there).
It'll never happen, of course as all DC's tracks are fantasy, but as a point to point, that section of course would be perfection.

yup. In a just world this game would have released with weather, no initial online problems, and got a 93 metacritic

Not with the our crop of reviewers who think lack of customization options, open-world and rewind are negative points.
Honestly, racing games are the one genre where I give zerofucks about Metacritic, but rather who the reviewer are.

Heh. I thought it was fitting for the theme of the thread. The image is from the local news, where an angry swan attacked a car in the parking lot.

Looks amazing but I wish they toned down the drops on the camera.
yup. In a just world Motorstorm 4 would have released with weather, no initial online problems, and got a 93 metacritic
fixed!
no man Motorstorm is cool but Driveclub is the shiz bro. Like, the pure driving mechanics are just a joy to experience. As a long time prolific racing fan, we get so few racing games like this. Admittedly not many like Motorstorm either, but we had a shitload of Motorstorm games so I'm happy with a new one.

Weather update is free for everyone who purchases the game, digital or retail.
With the exception of upcoming tour events and cars that will remain locked behind paying DLC / season pass, all these updates have been available freely for everybody owning the game, be it retail or digital.
And new tracks, some more cars and any added feature will also be offered for free in the future.
There could be a definitive edition coming next year, but until then you'll have to download patches (we're at 2.4 GB now).

Ah I see. No idea. I'd guess all of that would be in a "complete/GOTY" edition if they ever decide to release such a version.

Poor but happy. Have fun. Don't forget to download Injustice and Secret Pochos for free this month.
I'd buy it.Hailstorm DLC to be up for purchase later
Haven't messed around with the weather too much, but I'd actually love for them to give you an option to choose snow or rain. Right now it seems based on location and time of day(?).

Yeah, I think DC is far more enjoyable to play than MotorStorm ever was. The series was pretty good, but I wouldn't rank any of them among my top 5 racers, where DC definitely belongs to, with WipEout HD, SSX, TrackMania Nations, and Stunt Car Racer.
Are you okay, bro?
I loved SSX too, but it's not what I'd call a racer!

It doesn't. PS+ users get the game at $50 on the PS store. I'm assuming if the free PS+ version ever comes out the price will be the same, so $35 at amazon is your best bet for the forseeable future.

Does not work.
The only way to play with nothing on the screen, ever, is in a custom event with challenges turned off.

Shit! Having visited the TT many times and also been there at EVO for the launch party why didn't I think of this. It would be amazing with both bikes and cars!
Sign me up evolution studios. Let's do this!
So can you enjoy this game in Single-Player? Or is multiplayer its biggest strength?
I'm not a big car racing fan, but I've enjoyed games like GRiD, Most Wanted 2005, Need for Speed Rivals to name a few. Will I like this? Is there a ton of grinding? How long does it take to reach level 50?
Thanks!
I'm really tempted to buy this, for several reasons, one of them being that I actually live in the Norway part of the game in real life.

I hope this is patched in before (or around) Christmas (two weeks from today).

Yep, this is how it's done Rockstar.

Any word on the PS+ free demo version? If they make the full game 30$ for PS+ members on the store, I would jump in. I need more racing back in my day to day.
I'm pretty sure you won't notice those moss while going 100 mph!!!
Look at this... Ugh, totally brings me back to reality once I realized the water came off after the windshield wiper goes across, rather than during.

Oh man I am going to have to return the game now. Everyone, quick stop playing the game because this tidbit just ruins everything.
