Next you will be asking if we play video games. Crazy.

Ask again when Scalebound drops.
Is this still coming to PS+ subs?
Me too, my Xbox ID is Stackboy Royale for anyone who wants to add. So keen for Forza Horizon 2, Sunset Overdrive and the Master Chief cash cow,

Yes. Full game but restricted to 1 of 5 countries with half (?) of the cars.

I think my XBL tag thing is ThoseDeafMutes.
Sure i'll join whatever racing thing. I'm a bit salty there's no PS4 wheel support for Logitech but I'm guessing Driveclub will be fairly arcadey.
Also 6 person club limit seems a bit low. I expected way more than that.
Cool. The wife has a PS4 with PS+ so I'll give it a go when it comes out. Game looks super pretty in the latest video from Gamescom.

How original...!!
So, it's now basically a demo?
Nope, just reduced content of the full game. You can still complete all the trophies and play multiplayer, just not access all the content. It's like getting Infamous SS and only being able to play the bad side or something. Kinda.

The Driveclub clubs aren't like clans as you actually benefit from others in your club playing the game in the form of money or whatever. Clubs are kinds like you are all the same player.
No it's basically shareware. You know, like back in the day with PC games? Or was that a callback to all the trolls going "lol just a fuckin demo huehuehue" over on gaming side for the past year?
Not really, it's just a case of semantics, shareware was really just a paid for demo (at least in the case of Wolf3D, Jill of the Jungle etc), albeit a bigger portion than your typical demo. I still call what DC is, a demo (edit: maybe shareware is the better word considering you are paying for it in a way), if only for the backtrack (maybe perceived) of them going from free to PSN at PS4 launch, to, free* to PSN at PS4 launch (subset of full game).

Soon you'll be able to say 'xbox on' and it will actually work. Isn't that why you bought the xbone?

Can you expand on that? People were saying straight from the announcement it wouldn't be the entire game, it was called PS+ edition after all.
EDIT: Ah you mean you have a differing definition of 'demo' to the standard one, which is fine. All good!
It's not. I would expect your typical racing game demo to have one or two tracks and one or two cars. Demo content typically doesn't last long at all. This is clearly further along the content continuum. I'm not sure there is a good name for it, but DriveClub-lite or something seems fitting.
Hence why I edited that shareware may be a better name for it, at least in terms of content.
Was certainly the impression I had around mid last year.
Here's the first tweet: https://twitter.com/PlayStation/status/344284418032148480
From there it was expounded on with information as follows:

Is there an editable online AusGaf psn/xbl/nindendoid speadsheet yet? If not I think I'll make one when I get home.

It was in the OP of the previous thread(s), someone should be able to find it and post a link here.

It would actually be great functionality. I was annoyed when it didn't work earlier. The Kinect commands have worked well for me thus far.
Has TV/guide support been added yet?

Mannnnnnnnnnn this has been a shit month. Wish I had a new game to dig into, like that one Dick Smith should have sent out on Monday rather than today >_<
Imma make a complaint to ACCC I think. Bullshit they take your money up front, say they will send you a game on 'x' day and then never do it, without informing you of the delay either. THATS the worst part. Don't lie to me. Just be upfront and say, "we ain't got shit in terms of stock" or "I can't be fucked puttin down this bong for long enough to package this video dealy up and post it out".
How come? It's all run through that Freeview company thing, seems like it would be easier to deal with than seperate companies. They were pimping set top boxes a while back.

hey ausgaf,
not to be that guy.
but a friend of mine is doing audio engineering or some such at Uni, for his thesis he's doing something on video game audio!
it would be super helpful if you could take 10 minutes to fill in his survey

Needs more poo.
I guess I worried about dirty nappies and whatever before having kids, but being elbow deep in shit and vomit is one of the easier parts of parenting. Try being a little persons moral compass and being judged harshly by other people for your choices, no matter what they are. Cleaning poo off the walls is a welcome respite sometimes.

Stop talking shit.
Man the more I use Amazon Web Services (AWS) the more I fall in love with it. It just took an hour to create a virtual private cloud (VPC), commission a VM running linux, register a domain, allocate storage, install and configure apache, mysql, wordpress, do firewall rules, lock down the linux/mysql access, create a temp website and publish it...before closing it down (AWS charge by the hour for usage of most services). That is a very simple setup for a website (i.e. no autoscaling, backup processes etc, all of which don't take much time either) but goddam no wonder it's spreading like wildfire and Microsoft and the rest are playing catchup.

My shitty genes cursed him, it's all my fault, even with limiting his screen time so much over the years. Breaks my heart as it's 100% my fault.

Yeah I know. It's just something I can't change for him. Inevitability can have a powerful effect, especially when it's something that had been embraced negatively over a long period of time in your life.
His teeth are white as fuck and cavity free though! That's something I have a fair bit of control over thankfully
Well ok.... I'll turn on the Xbox One to add you then turn it off.
If any of you are keen on Civ Beyond Earth. It is currently listed at the US price on Steam rather than the full AU price of $90.

So, judging from the DC club thread there's enough for at least one, possibly 2 AusGAF DC teams.
Now all we need is the game.
In other news...rainy eh? Do the QLD or NSW driving test teach how you shouldn't tailgate generally and specifically when it's raining so had you can't see cars 20-30m ahead? Or that using rear foglights I such conditions is a good idea?
Scary drive up from Byron this afternoon thanks to several Ute drivers clearly thinking that driving on my rear bumper was the only way to see me, and about half the drivers thinking 'Oh it's daytime I don't need to use my lights.'
Still, Byron was lovely, I've just eaten a beef & bacon Yatala pie and I'm back with my family after a week away
