add me, I'm in.
i really dont know but what i do know is most racing games release with a weather system. its good that dc are going with a fully dynamic simulation but that should be part of the finished game not patched in months later
i dont understand how a racing game can release without weather or photo mode, they strike me as essential features especially when competitor games are doing it.
it just seems a little rushed to me thats all im saying
it wouldnt feel like a complete package to me, weather + photomode are common place in racing games now.
This is pretty much the end for sony. Don't let SONYGAF get to you. Its pretty clear that Driveclub is an unfinished mess that they are trying to do a cash-grab with. Weather is essential to driving games, games like...
well anyway, but Its essential. As is photomode, without that, it might as well be called the boring club. I mean, spelling errors? Come on. Wrap it up Sony.
What region are you in?T-minus eight hours and counting...
Again, anyone in Australia able to tell me how long until it unlocks for us?
I've got bad news for you...
no rain at launch
Kinda bummed this game doesn't unlock at 12pm EST. Maybe I'll go to bed early so I can get some playtime in the morning before work.

Now I'm concerned... Should I cancel my preorder?

I replayed an event at least 10 times because it's so great to drive... replayed older events where you can choose it, too. It's awesome. Or take it for a fun ride in 3rd person chase cam, that sound...
Wait, I thought there was still going to be weather at launch, but not dynamic weather. So there's no rain/snow at launch?

Lololo.
Yeah. And then preorder it digitally so you don't have to bear the sight of that grammatical error.

Taking off screen shots does the game even more of a disservice because iPhone's especially tend to brighten or darken shit up and if you have a Plasma like I do then it's even harder to take a good picture. I just took one with no HUD on and abit zoomed in by my iPhone5s. I gotta say though, playing this game with no HUDs is something else.
Let me just put it this way. Real life > Gamersyde videos > PS4 Share Screenshots > gifs > off screen pics > potato.

Yep weather is not a standard , photo mode yes but this gen photo mode look to be better that usual .
I mean real time lighting is something that should be standard more than anything else IMO.
If anything you should add more preorders. When the second run fixes the grammar on the box these first run boxes will be worth a lot of money

Look buddy, first you come in here saying that Driveclub is nothing mindblowing, and then mindlessly brush off that Evolution Studios is bringing a feature that nobody else has? I'll have you know FH2 doesn't allow racing in other players, online or offline.i really dont know but what i do know is most racing games release with a weather system. its good that dc are going with a fully dynamic simulation but that should be part of the finished game not patched in months later

Everything in the game is dynamic. There are no placeholder weather effects while they work on the patch. At launch it will have dynamic cloud cover/wind. The patch will add rain and snow.

Guess I have to go digital now because of that typo. I don't want that shit in my house!
Some people in here have said something that is misleading, which is "there is weather at launch, but not dynamic weather." What they REALLY mean is that there are dynamic clouds (which, obviously there is), but precipitation is not there until December.
Damn, driving in the rain or snow was what I was most looking forward to.
Define "promote". How much official promotional material do we have where photo mode and weather (and etc?) have been advertised. How much official promotional material has just racing? What's the ratio of the two? Now tell me you are convinced with what you say there.
There is literally a blog post, some screens, 2 seconds of rain footage and 3 GIFs in official material. Everything else is unofficial camera footage that devs are sharing with us because we keep clamoring for it. + there are several articles describing the work in progress demoed to them, just like many works in progress.
It's getting discussed a lot because people are super excited about it and keep demanding to see progress. Not because it is actively being "promoted".

If they are taking an extra couple of months to do something, it's not rushed. They are literally using more time to complete the game, it's the opposite of rushed. It's incomplete yes, but it's incomplete because they are taking their time and not rushing.

Yeah, but on the bright side at least now you won't be disappointed when you launch the game for the first time

All I knew about Driveclub honestly was that it is a next gen exclusive racing game that is meant to be played with friends, that's all lol. You can check that I never even posted in the hype thread until I got the game. I was pretty much on media blackout on games I am interested in so that's why. Honestly, knowing things like this surprised me especially since they are willing to constantly update the game for free besides DLC.

I was looking on the console if preload had started for EU (it has not. Grrr >:-( ...) and I saw that "you have 57 friend requests pending" notification... I pretty much doubled my friend list ^_^Just crossed 400 on PSN: DRIVECLUB-GAF. Still have a long queue of requests. Sony blocked me again!
I guess I'll have some challenge out of this.
That shot looks strangely good, despite the wibbly-wobbly look in full-size because of the extra resolution.

I did not know Dynamic Weather and Photo Mode were common things in this gen...
Can someone tell me how I can unlock Dynamic Weather in Need for Speed Rivals?

It does preload! Besides I have not bought it yet (but certainly will tomorrow).

If you're in the US, you can preload it right now. Not sure about the other territories.
Is there something I need to initiate to start a preload? I am in the us.

Did that also have a photomode?
Yeah, the sense of speed looks amazing based on the videos.
Actually NFS Rivals DOES have some great rain and snow. It doesn't have photo mode, though.

I just started up my PS4 and it started the preload. if that doesn't work, you can start it manually from your game library.

I do not believe the Rain or Snow really affected the traction of your car though, it looked nice but it didn't really add anything to the actually race itself.
Can't believe the EU/AU versions are coming out before the US one. God damnit
what? the US comes out tomorrow, the EU/AU ones are coming out on wednesday

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
It sort of reminds me of the concept car Red Bull had in GT5. The X1 I think it was, although less ridiculous.
The X1 was a fan car right? Those were banned due to safety concerns. Nicki Lauda drove one, apparently the fan was linked to the engine in such a way just revving it would cause the car to squat. It was a downforce life hack.
I wonder if some of those regulations have been lifted.
Weren't Group B rally races also nuts for not regulating what some of their cars could do?

Holy crap, that's a bit disappointing. I don't mind waiting for the Dynamic Weather patch but I was under the impression rain/snow would be in at launch. Not a big deal at all but a bit of a bummer.

There was the recent UK event that some NeoGAF members attended. I was under the impression the weather build was there, based on comments. There was the September presentation At Milano, which focused on those elements. There have been several press releases talking about the coming features, which is practical information to have, but is also the focus of communications about the game. The E3 presentation for the game referenced both rain and the photo mode. The co-marketing video series with Aston Martin showcased the weather features. The Driveclub Tapping into the Power of the PS4 promo video from last month also leveraged weather, and showed the photo mode. The Driveclub All Action trailer from the beginning of October showed off nighttime weather effects.
If you know me, I do my best not to be insincere. I would call those promotion.
