everyone has a bogey car they just don't get on with. I hate American Muscle cars because they just do that fishtail thing out of every corner and I'm a bit heavy on the gas. Straight line braking + feathering throttle around corners might help but tbh I'd just switch to another car you are more comfortable with - unless it forces you to use it?

That I don't get the desire to predict review scores or be worried about low review scores for a game which a lot of people can try themselves.
You're neither the developers that have to fear for their bonus nor do you have to read reviews about what kind of game this will be, because the game you can play via PS+ is the game it will be. Just with more tracks and cars.
try to not downshift much and not completely take your foot from the gas on the turns

Mine was dispatched 2 hours ago and will be here tomorrow. Finally a needed break from Destiny!
I forgot all about Destiny as soon as Shadow of Mordor released, lol.

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
Good, that makes me feel better.
Anything that is not a straight line is oversteer city.
They feel like rocket engine equipped soap pads to me.

Motherfucker isn't better than me.
I won. I came in SECOND. HAHA HAAHAAHAAHAH HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAAHAAHHAHAHAHA
I have it preordered.
There aren't any funds in my wallet, but it says it will automatically deduct the funds. So I'm assuming that happens when the countdown timer ends which is about a day and 6 hours...which makes it the 8th of October, so I was thinking there's no preloading for the PS+ version but you have all preloaded so I'm not sure if I've missed something.
unless of course it takes the money out of my credit card now and starts preloading. I've been working all day so haven't checked. Machine is on standby in case something happens!
Anyways not a big deal.

The Atom is just a car that you need to maintain a good speed with in order for the downforce to do its job. It's a naturally tail happy car to begin with, so speed balance is very important.

I only play GranTurismo, what's "duel" and "knock out" and "bunch of others" modes?
Yep, for me PS+ version will be make or brake. I'm confident that I'll buy the full version, after that. Bummed about lack of dynamic weather, hope they'll add that sooner rather than later.
nice!
I heard that when you buy DLC you have to buy it from the same region as your game. Ie US version needs to buy it from the US store. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong)
I could do that, but it just a little bit more hassle.
I believe that you can still use any region PS+ for your multiplayer needs.

Duel would be 1v1 and knock out would be to race where the person in the last position is knocked out after every lap.
This is confusing. Where the hell is AU GAF when you need them?
It deducted funds out of my wallet earlier today (EU), so it might have already charged your card.

The only negative thing is that I have to download 17GB for the PS+ version.
So when I get home I have to let it download trough the night and can only play it the next day
Didn't Rushy say something about not having to download all of it to be able to play?
Or am i mistaking this with some other game
Duel = 1v1 race, usually a point to point race but can also be on a closed circuit
Knockout = Full race with a set amount of laps and cars, you must be in a certain position at the end of each lap to avoid getting eliminated from the race. Ex: 4 Lap race with 12 cars, at the end of lap 1 you must be in 8th or higher to avoid elimination. Cars continue to get eliminated until last lap.
Both of these race types have been in older games like Project Gotham Racing series and Forza series.

You only need the first 3.5gb to start playing.
Hopefully, the India stuff will come down first.
You are driving it too slow, assuming they simulate downforce at all which considering how much else the simulate I think they probably do to atleast some degree. The thing is insane though, weighs less than an F1 car and has ~ 550 BHP.

sounds fun. wonder if there's a mode where you pick up power-ups, like shells or mushrooms.
you have to put in some work too, i've SENT like 150 requests myself lol.
Yeah, PlayGo's at work. The initial download is around 3 GB.
canceled my amazon order and pre-ordered it on psn.
couple minutes after i received a message, that i don't have enough funds on my account and they couldn't charge it and will try it on the release date.
But i have my cc registred (yes, foolish) and always worked so far until today.
Someone got the same problem?

a few questions to the gaf who already have the game.
*Can you see your PSN friend's friends from the in-game MP menu and invite them or join their games? What I want to know is you don't have to add players under DRIVECLUB-GAF as long as DRIVECLUB-GAF is on your friend list?
*What do you want for the next game from Evolution Studio, Driveclub 2, New Motorstorm or someghing completely new game?

Actually it does look like lift off oversteer.
The Atom is a car you have to drive fast, if you drive it too slow then when you slow down for a corner, especially the long sweeping ones, the rear wing is not generating enough down force for the rear of the car to maintain traction. To fix this you have to go even faster until you start understeering and then you just back off slightly.

Looks like Drivegaf alone will allow members to play this game the way it was meant to be played! Can't wait for all the challenge battles and rankings.

You can set the numbers of opponents in a race, do you really need a separate mode for that? I thought duel might be something interesting like a lance attached to the cars and you have to break your opponents without breaking yours.

Is this knockout mode in the game? Sounds fun as hell.
Yes, happened to me this night: you probably have disabled automatic wallet provisioning to prevent unwanted renewals.
Cancel your pre-order, manually provision your wallet, and pre-order again.

Yeah, at :44-53 you can see him keep the gas down a bit and the car stays stable at at 90mph+, then on the next corner he lets off the gas completely while feathering the brakes and you can start to see the mph plummet and his tail kick out once the car starts to lose its downforce.

I'm AU GAF but I've never preloaded so I can't help. My internet is too slow to download large games. It's good enough for actual online gaming thankfully though.
Ah ok. I'll see if I can check tonight. Thanks for letting me know.
I hear its still missing private lobbies. I don't play online much but seriously this really should be in the game. I don't think the club thing and the matchmaking service is enough. I know it was a design decision probably to get people to race more in clubs than in just private lobbies, but there's going to be a lot of people that want to race with a bunch of people not in their club (ie everyone from Gaf)

Knock out mode seem like a waste for a game base on team racing plus i don't see many people wanting to play it.
Looking forward to seeing how the MP is .

yeah, I had that with a game before. I now have credit added and avoiding buying anything until it has paid for DC.
Knockout in Need for Speed 2 was the best. Did anyone play that? In the first race you had to place higher than 8th to progress, then in the next race 7th... and so on until it was just a duel between two cars. Plus it was co-op on the PC too.

Did you add money to your digital psn wallet?
that's weird. never had this issue. Also with unchecked wanted renewals.
But thanks for the info!
That is the problem with winged cars, they have a performance window but getting into that window is counter intuitive as in most cases when the back kicks out it is because you are going too fast but with these kinds of cars it is because you are out of the window and need to go faster until you reach the actual limits of the vehicle.
The fact it looks so tricky to drive suggests they do have a good car simulation. I wonder what it would be like to drive with all the assists off, how close to a proper simulator would it be?

Didnt this game have club versus club racing that I think is pretty unique to this game?

Do you even have to cancel? I also manually added credit after i preordered and it worked fine
