Broke AF right now so I need to get out of this thread. Looks amazing.
Yup, crashes are there although they do not show what happens afterwards.
I wonder if Ironman mode would be a good idea for Driveclub, certainly should clean up some online races.

Bought it.
So far the bikes definitely feel incredibly unrealistic. There's no pressure in handling your throttle properly in corners and you brake just like you would in a car.
Kind of disappointed but it's still fun and I'll probably get this Platinum too :V

Hopefully season pass 2 this time. Bikes and VR couldn't possibly be less interesting to me, but I absolutely love the unique and weird choices of cars they put in expansions.
Poor Rossi, the guy is like 30 times champion, but now will ever be remembered as the road rash driver.
Thankfully, the controller setup options are different for bikes and cars, so you can setup gyro/motion sensing for bikes and regular controls or whatever for cars. It'd take some getting used to, but I can see the optimum control setup for bikes being motion sensing. It felt pretty great.

I definitely expect a $30-50 physical holiday release: Driveclub + Bikes + Current Season Pass and DLCs. Then theyll make way for a new Season Pass which includes new Bike and cars, and new events and tracks.
C'mon Rushy! Spill it!

I did. It's not as arcadey as I like though.
Just checked out a few streams and I'm gonna pass.
Wake me up when we get Hang On.

It may not be full sim but let's not kid ourselves here, Driveclub is a slightly more accessible sim. Using the brakes for anything but drifting is the least arcade shit ever
(not a knock on the game, but people shouldn't be misled into thinking it's something it isn't)
Bikes sound appealing but I'm not sure if it's worth the $15 solely as an add-on to the Plus version at the moment, especially when Need For Speed is out next week

Dammit, trying to curb my spending, but this looks great. Been waiting for a great Bike game, and don't want to bite on MotoGP 14 or 15 yet.

lol, it's super simplistic but as a general rule it's so true -- do you use your brakes to do anything but drift?
If yes, it's a Sim!
If no, it's an Arcade racer!
Damn the middleground.
Team Arcade here, but I still love me my Driveclub - it's definitely more accessible than most sims/semi-sims, now that I've trained myself to [horror of horrors] brake.

My mind is still blown at the idea the EVO was able to run this game at 60 fps without huge sacrifices to IQ. VR would be MINDBLOWING!
This ride never ends, I love it.
60 fps update?
I'd much rather have a second season pass and THEN have an updated physical update.

This expansion is awesome. It adds another Platinum to boot. The only thing the game needs is new tracks now.
I know right. Can't wait to try Driveclub in VR myself, it's scary enough as it is already
It will be cool if they can have custom races with reduced vehicles and details at 60fps./

Would be great if 60fps would be an option even if you didn't own Morpheus.

Oh shit you guys, DRIVECLUB compatible with PSVR? How they hell would they manage to run that? :O Decreased visuals I'm guessing? Either way, this has sold me on PSVR, esp. with some lofty claims on Twitter like 'I've been very lucky to try Driveclub VR and it's the best gaming experience I've ever had in over 20 years simply amazing #PlayStationVR'

Is this feasible with a wheel?
It's not possible with a wheel. When configuring controls, even with a pad, the driving controls give the option for wheel or pad or motion, bikes only gives the option for pad or motion. Or something, not at my PS4.

More likely that it's the long awaited Private Lobby stuff being finally added to the game.

Nah people all forgot about how he torpedo'd Sete Gibernau back in the day, they'll forget about this too
Not spent that much time with this but I'm really poor when using the bikes. I really struggle to get around some of the corners at really low speeds sometimes which is putting me off somewhat.
Looking at the positives, I seem to remember really struggling in the car campaign at first and then it suddenly got easy, so I'm hoping this eases up at some point for me.
Has anybody else struggled with the bikes?

He just needs to win more and people will brush over it.
I'm having to unlearn the mechanics of MotoGP and Ride for this. But it clicks after a few laps. Strange pushing so hard without the fear of a high/lowside.
If you don't brake enough into a turn, tap the rear brake, you'll initiate a slide making it easier to get through a tight turn. Not the fastest way around the apex, but if you miss your regular braking point, this can save you last minute.
Thanks, I think I'm just going to play around in the Time Trials for a while so that I can try a few things out without having to worry about making mistakes.
Rushy mentioned some graphics update a little while back. Hopefully, it's 60FPS Standard, 30FPS with increased AA,AF, Shadow, and LOD. My dream will be complete with that.

Not actually that important
Please.
Are we honestly still believing Evolution's bs explanations? That's not true at all.

Isn't Driveclub VR a standalone game or am I mistaken?

Guys, they got the VR demo running with only 8 racers and no rear view mirror. I doubt they'd update the game so soon for 60fps (if ever, outside of VR mode).
I'd love to be proven wrong though.
