Even without a single multiplayer match you can do so much for your club. There is much to do in the tour mode and even when you set up a custom race you earn points.

Hey guys. Kinda new to the Driveclub hype, but I'm definitely gonna try out the PS+ version tomorrow. Question though. What's the deal with custom soundtracks? Can we play our own music during races? I've got some ridiculous trance music that would go great with these sunset drives!
i got this. and i laughed. hard.

MP footage. I don't want to race randoms ever!

Watch it till the end though. Nail biting!
Perhaps it is because I am incredible tired, but that race had me in tears. Basically all you hear for the first half is the crunch of the cars hitting each other. And then the guy choking at the end, haha.
Oh man, that was awesome.

Wow, there is some excellent footage in that video.
Is this a sim?
You're welcome.
Also Playstation Access just posted some super car gameplay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=643RGNzAnRI

And why would I want them?
Lol this race was awesome. Dat car flying off the track at the end of the second lap had me busting up. Nice steal to get 2nd place at the end too.

Nice. I had to make a decision between DC and 2k15. 2k15 can wait.

Assemble indeed.
Season Pass bought.
Called Gamestop, picking this and Alien Isolation up at midnight. Taking tomorrow off to play all day. Can't wait!
And if I didn't have to pick kiddo up at daycare and have parenting duty, I gladly would have given a nice "this is how fun it is to play while drunk" report too. But that'll wait till the weekend.
Let's do this!

Some brazilians stores are breaking the street date. Just got my copy
Yeah, I got mine on Saturday. lol
Oh, and just to make it clear: gameplay is STELLAR. The graphics are great but it's not the best thing about the game. It plays and feels incredible. Ask any of those who got the game early. It is amazing.

The only way you can use a custom soundtrack is through Music Unlimited. Sony execs gotta eat...

Yeah it became quite clear to me when playing racers online I want to do them with friends or GAF members. This video looked like GTA5 online races. People pushing opponents as they get beside them, crashing into them, fishtailing, etc. It's better to spook them into preemptively attacking you and brake just so they screw themselves (feint or something). It's combat racing in a pickup racing match with randoms for sure.
Where are the penalties or is it turned off in some races like unranked stuff?

Serious question: Why do people get upset when people online drive aggressively in racing games like Driveclub or Forza Horizon or whatever? I've seen people get upset at that on multiple occasions.
It seems like an entirely valid way to play the game and personally I think it's fun as hell to race that way.

Because realistically if you are driving a Hyper/Super Car you would not be crashing into anyone due to the fact you would lose the race. People want clean matches that deal with more skill than dirty tricks.

Good question indeed.GRID cars handed perfect for me.It would be great if the Driveclubs' handle not the same but at least similar.
Some time today.

Is there a way to unlock the game early? I'm spoiled by XBL now xD
Difficult to see what penalties were being in effect since crack-king was driving pretty cleanly compared to the other monkeys.
Especially in Horizon 2 when there is a guy in a Ford Raptor and he accelerates into the first turn.

I surely hope not. GRID was a good game but the physics were horrid. Looking at footage it doesn't seem to be the same.

Morning GAF!
PSN: DRIVECLUB-GAF is now at 339! And we have all day to get to 400. Tis happeding!
I don't know why I get so excited by this, but it has become some kind of DRIVECLUB mini-game until I can get my hands on the real deal!
Nice. I sent an invite. Not under this name though. Will check tonight if i was accepted ;P

when does the review embargo end for DRIVECLUB?
Yep. I hope the penalties are customiseable. 3, 5, 7, 10 second increasing penalties should work to deter some of the stuff we see.
Few people said some videos and gifs look beter than actual game... I worry over stuff like that. Please tell me there's nothing to worry about.

What the hell!
I hate that... unfortunately on FH2 they do the same (besides it seems that trick doesnt work there)! A clear race is so much more exciting, I feel sorry for those who cant understand it.
I got no problem with aggressive driving as long as you aren't using that word simply as means of taking people out... this is definitely not GT or such, bumps and contact should be expected.
My issue is when people decide to crash into people by going full speed into slow corners, or when they when drive into you as you are driving alongside them on a straight piece of road or worse steer in the opposite direction of a corner just to take you out on the outside lane.
At some point it's not about driving aggressively but rather just griefing the others on the track, some even go as far as driving back down the track when things don't go well for them. I do sometimes see GT6 lobbies where they are specifying that it's all about taking each other out and that is great as long as all in the room want the same thing.

That nighttime driving.
Then go here (though it might be too late, you can still post your info to see if any club has an empty slot)
