Support NeoGAF

[bombshell]

Is the £35 offer limited or all the time you have PS+?

I'd like to try before I buy but don't want to miss a deal.

Yea I'm hoping its not limited time offer as if I like the PS+ version I'll probably pick up the upgrade but not this month.

The offer will run for some time after launch, but I don't think they've said how long.

So until they do, it runs indefinitely.

Does the Ferrari California and the 458 sound similar in real life? They sound almost exactly the same in those 2 vids.

No, idea... But I'd imagine one goes VROOM and the other one goes VVRRRUUUOOOMM.

 

[Death Metalist]

I know some people were busting a nut over car sounds but they kind of lull me to sleep. I need some thumping music. Hope what's there is good since I don't want a music unlimited sub.

They are good but they are also very few and repeat often. : / Not only that but for some reason the music sound even when turned up all the way, is lower then all the other sounds in the game itself. Sony needs to bring DLNA asap, folks like myself may even have MU region locked.

It's on another level. I don't think people understand the level of detail at which everything is rendered in this game. I keep reiterating how dense the foliage is and how high res the textures are and everything.

I love when I got a bunch of cars in front of me kicking up dust and leaves and then a ray of sunshine hits my windshield and I can see the dirt and grime on the glass.

are you trying to destroy my hype meter

 

[BiGBoSSMk23]

Fuck me if the Ariel Atom isn't the most unwieldy piece of shit I've ever driven.

 

[Auctopus]

Ok. So there's no club as of now.

We can't fit the whole of GAF in to a club. You can only have 6.

If you're looking for a club within GAF, you'll want this thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=879869

Once the PS+ edition is gone I would not be surprised if that offer is gone as well. PS+ stuff changes monthly so I would expect it gone then.

 

[Phlebas]

Can't wait for the PS+ version, will upgrade of the game is fun.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

No, idea... But I'd imagine one goes VROOM and the other one goes VVRRRUUUOOOMM.

This is going over my head. Can we just chill with the complex car talk.

 

[Autofokus]

Do we have any confirmed estimate for the weather update? I often see december rumored around, but couldn't find any official word on it. Why is everyone assuming that the update will hit this year?

Because they said this year, but soon after release, same as the photo mode.

I'm pretty sure I read THE PS+ version will be available to download till the end of January. It's not a traditional IGC title.

Look harder!

The drip-feed of features such as the weather - which is due soon after launch, and sometime before Christmas - are all helpful in establishing the idea of DriveClub as a constantly evolving service, and it speaks of a developer enjoying the breathing space the delay has granted it.

Do we have a source for that? I couldn't find any.

Edit: viveks to the rescue, thanks.

 

[dragn]

fk me, just added all 302 ppl

 

[FeenixRising]

Someone is streaming it on twitch, this game looks crazy.

 

[Jimrpg]

Look harder!

No snow mention!

Spoiler

joking I'm pretty sure its coming this year too

 

[Jimrpg]

So has anyone actually started preloading the PS+ upgrade?

I have no option to preload it so it looks like we have to wait for the PS+ edition to unlock first to download? Is that right?

US store has started preloading, EU will be today sometime and UK on wednesday.

I've preloaded it already, lots of people have

Wut? Which region are you in? US GAF has already preloaded with PS+ upgrade

When will the first dlc cars come out and any details on what they will be?

 

[nsignific]

Some local journalist blasted the game on magazine forum and advised not to buy it, until you tried the demo.

He was right, too. The game suffers from what appears to be a common ailment this generation - next to zero content. Games like TDU had tons and tons more features and contents nearly 10 years ago.

Along with Destiny, this is becoming a huge problem with this generations triple As.

Looks like there'll be one free car released in october.
Doesn't say what cars will be available yet though.

[viveks86]

1 car and 1 track. Car is a Merc AMG GT and is coming out this week for free. Free track is a mystery

Check longer term DLC plans in the OP

 

[Loudninja]

We know they will be from new manufacturers thats it.

 

[viveks86]

Do you have the game to make this claim?

 

[Prototype]

Damn, lol, thanks for the replies guys.

I hope they do a legacy pack and get some older cars in there . Mclaren F1, Jaguar XJ220, Ferrari F50, ect.

How long did it take you to complete the main events? How long did you play online?

 

[nsignific]

Do you have the game to make this claim?

They're not hiding what the content is. Much older games had far more content, and I'm not talking just about cars and tracks.

I can't be responsible for how much you know about this genre.

 

[Synless]

I know it has been known for sometime, but what is the reason weather isn't shipping to begin with? I mean, this game was originally slated for March wasn't it? I can't even imagine how terrible it must have been back then.

 

[SSReborn]

You are not really saying anything here.

 

[Death Metalist]

Funny thing is I completed Destiny in a day. I still haven't completed the tour in DC, just today got towards 100 stars from 200. That is also still without diving in the MP as well as making a club and all that good stuff. Oh, we also got locked cars that don't unlock unless you level up as well as there are cars locked behind your club levels as well.

 

[ValfarHL]

Weather wasn't announced until well after the delay, and was probably never meant to be in the game. I'm guessing the extra time allowed Evolution to add more content. Me, I love that this game was delayed!

Do not make claims like "zero content" without playing the game. Having opinions is one thing, spreading misinformation is another.

 

[boredandlazy]

He sort of is. He's saying, "I have a baseless assumption that the game has no content, and if you don't agree it's because you don't understand the genre".

 

[BiGBoSSMk23]

I'd advise you to tread carefully in this thread. There's been a ban warning issued for shitposting about this game and you're a junior still...

This game works on a service model and there's a reasonably meaty campaign mode which becomes a whole new game once the community begins issuing challenges based on individual campaign events.

To say this game is short on content is not only wrong but also missing the point of the game. Obviously that journalist wasn't looking for what this game has to offer, and apparently neither are you.

This doesn't make Driveclub any less outstanding.

There's enough cars and tracks, what more content do you need in a racing game?

 

[nsignific]

Lol so you don't have the game?

The most trusted reviewer in my country has it and he said some convincing things.

If you wish to support this sort of game development, be my guest. But don't cry when games like Destiny and Driveclub ship with content comparable to the shareware version of Quake 1.

 

[nsignific]

Maybe some modes in addition to the measly race, trial and drift (like maybe knock out, duel, bunch of others), to start with? Maybe some mechanical customization?

You know, stuff that's been staples of the genre for decades now?

 

[viveks86]

Show proof or refrain from posting more until you have something substantial. Consider this a friendly warning.

You're actually being serious here, aren't you. Unbelievable.

Don't worry, I'm leaving this thread, maybe even the forum.

Lol I can assure you I won't be the one crying.

 

[Loudninja]

Look we have several people here on gaf who is playing though the game right now, we dont need to be told about the content of the game.

Simple forum rule: Don't write cheques your butt can't cash.
If your butt can cash 'em, post away.

Otherwise, I guess we'll catch you on reddit or youtube shouting to the hills about SonyGAF.
