So after fighting ...i decided TO STOP AND LOOK AT THE PURCHASE SCREEN FOR THE BIKE ADD ON. Says 10/29/15.....so i assume us in NA cannot download till then.

Kinda lame considering during the Conference he didn't say crap about Euro only....cool for you guys....but they could said for euro only... and NA on the 29th. Went from HELL YEA to 2DAYS.....ARRRGGGGHHHH

It's on the US store. https://store.playstation.com/#!/en...sion/cid=UP9000-CUSA00093_00-XXXXXXXXXDCBIKES

Awesome shots dude. So you don't get bike vs car races, just bike versus bike? I'd prefer the latter.

Ugh, I used to ride like that on roads...now it gives me the chills.

haha.... me too, a few years ago. I had a Ducati 748S and I TORE it up just like those guys. In hindsight it was completely stupid, but man... what a thrill. It's weird how once you get comfortable riding like you're in a race, it really doesn't feel dangerous at all.
 
So stand alone game? I only have the ps+ version of drive club and although I don't play it, I would love to have the bike expansion.

Thats funny cuz I had a '99 748 back in the day too, lol. I have a 1098 now but I keep it a bit more sane on the roads. :)

Then you have incredible discipline, truly. The problem is just that these aren't machines meant to putter around at 50MPH on - they come into their element at like at least 80 MPH and up, so it's just so hard to help yourself.

But anyway - ride safely and enjoy yourself. That's a great bike.
 
Does this integrate smoothly within the existing DC, or do DC owners have to run it as a separate game?

Or, to put it differently, is this standalone ala Infamous: First Light, or integrated+stand alone like Killzone: Shadowfall's Intercept co-op mode?

Its well integrated into existing DC - you select the Drive option, then presented with DriveClub or DriveClub Bikes - then under the bikes menu you have the same layout as for cars - i.e. tour, single event, random event, challenges, multiplayer.

Its got new accolades that are integrated with the existing ones, and of course all fame still goes to you and your club, and progress on bikes also contributes to location, etc accolades as well.

I got driveclub in the month of release on disc and bought the season pass but the expansion at 14.99 is unavailable for me because i dont own driveclub? does it need me to own it digitally?

I'm having the same problem. I'll be bummed if this isn't an error.

I also have the physical version and the season pass and just bought it at the discounted price. EU here. It looks like a problem with the US store.

Bikes are integrated just as how it was done in Burnout Paradise, except you can't have bikes vs car races. Someone correct me if i am wrong

Perfection.

you haven't lived until a random little kid ask you "how do you make love".
I should have brought this instead of zombie trilogy today. DC ain't my favorite racer but those bikes look awesome.

Guys, how do I buy this expansion? I have the disc version and it says it's not available for purchase.

I honestly watched the video expecting bicycles, you know.....bikes. Instead, what I got was motorcycles. Not the same thing. I hate it when people use the word "bikes" when what they really mean is "motorcycles". Use a different word.....like "mikes".

If you honestly thought it was about bicycles in a car racing game, that's on you :p

As someone that rides a motorcycle/motorbike/bike I agree that it can be confusing at times.

Multi player is actually less chaotic as there's not that much contact compared to other cars spinning you out.

Small manageable bumps here and there, that's about it.

Pretty sure that bikes will play a big part in the new season pass over the next year or so. I wonder if we'll get mixed vehicle races at some point?
