PS+ Edition (GCT):

For new page

Wow, they really did some awesome work on Ellie in the Last of Us Remastered...but man I wish "midnight release" for the digital version was local and not off PST...

 

[ChronotriggerJM]

This looks sooo good although it's really weird seeing video-gamey stab-steering in something that looks real if I squint.

LOL I like that description. Makes total sense!

 

[biglittleps]

Has anyone in AU or EU been able to start the Pre-load. my timer is down to 10Hrs 40mins. and still cant start the DL. not from the PS4 Store or from the webstore

This. Anyone from EU?

 

[TheBear]

This. Anyone from EU?

I have but I bought it off US PSN (aus console)

 

[Smiles and Cries]

need to set an alarm

 

[nikos]

What's worse than not having the game is having it and not being able to play because of the girlfriend. Ugh. Might try remote play.

 

[aussiedude08]

I have but I bought it off US PSN (aus console)

i would of gone for the US store but i took up the Paypal deposit $80 and get a $15code within the next 2 weeks. now regretting. Its fucked it doesnt unlock till 1AM Melb time. and just as shit that the pre-load seems to not work yet. Aussie internet is shit and i want to play it tomorrow morning when i wake up now wait till lunchtime or later tomorrow.

 

[Gray Matter]

And even if you don't, its free! I'm mostly excited for a new game that I can sort of play while I'm zoning out. It's almost like meditation, driving on courses I've memorized. I remember while playing Forza 4 on 360 that I could just lose myself and almost subconsciously do like a lap or two before realizing that I was basically on autopilot the whole time.

Looking forward to it. Not long now.

Aus here aswell. How big is the download, and is the PSN price artificially inflated above retail price?

Its around 15GB, but we can play the game when download finishes 3GB which is good at least. Hopefully preload goes live soon for EU.

 

[jellies_two]

i caved and pre ordered because any racing game i will put hours into.

after pre ordering you can read the "manual" and for a game based on CLUBs the page on that function is tissue paper thin. Well really the whole manual is.

I can see a lot of criticism tomorrow will target how simple the entire package is. No tuning little customisation very basic beginnings of club support, one or two official wheels, one soundtrack, a euro centric hyper car collection. A last gen racer would not get off the ground with this feature set. The visuals are the one trump card, at least until weather makes it two.

i think its a 17GB DL with the normal 2-4GB before you can start to play, but i like to DL 100% before i play.

The PS+ upgrade was $55 and comes with 3 pre-order cars

 

[Phreak47]

I went with the season pass because reasons. But still, I wouldn't worry about the game looking thin at launch. It has a bright future, so hop on god dammit.

 

[flipswitch]

Does this game feature manual transmission?

 

[B-Dex]

The manual is up on PS4. Reading now.

 

[OccamsLightsaber]

I've added 167 of you guys already.

 

[viveks86]

Does this game feature manual transmission?

Yes

 

[jiiikoo]

Still no pre-loading on the EU store I take it? Atleast nothing happened on my end when I turned the console on :<

 

[tuna_love]

Does this game feature manual transmission?

Yeah but no clutch support apparently

 

[kaskade]

I can't wait to try out the PS+ edition. It's nice to be able to play a smaller version of the game then upgrade later. Nice for my finances right now.

At least you don't have to wait for Dick Smith to ship your copy.

 

[Kumubou]

Over/under on the number of people on DRIVECLUB-GAF's list before launch? It's currently at 428... that's going to be a lot of people to beat. :3

 

[Afrikan]

So...I can't change my timezone at play at 9pm huh.

East Coast people really have to wait till 3am?

 

[Vorheez]

I got one request from stoic-lemon, please keep em coming guys! Need some times to race against.

PSN: Vorheeze

And just to clarify, only the 2.5 GB is able to download right now, right? The rest will download when i boot it up? Never done preload before but someone earlier was saying they had all 16 GB downloaded.

 

[Van]

Uhh hi US GAF, my username is Van_Canavi, LES RIDEEE

Wayyyy over. Plan was to get up to 300. I've stopped whoring it out now.

 

[chopstik]

yes! I bought my ps4 and DC + season pass tonight. been waiting for a while, but Ubisoft/MS inspired to pull the trigger quicker. can't wait to play this later or tomorrow.

It will download it all but that initial size is required to start the game.

If you haven't already, add DRIVECLUB-GAF to your friends list.

I keep getting logged off of PSN for DDOSing with friend invites. PSN Midboss BTW.

I just got denied access for the same reason.

 

[Zeuanimals]

I NEED TO BUY THIS GAME! Having only the India track is not enough, especially since it's the least appealing to me, no offense.

 

[Kumubou]

Wayyyy over. Plan was to get up to 300. I've stopped whoring it out now.

Just as a point of reference, the Google Docs sheet for the Forza Horizon 2 club is currently at 531. Confirmed bomba etc etc..

 

[Codeblew]

After reading the default control scheme in the manual, I hope I can swap up/down shift to R1/L1.

 

[viveks86]

Just as a point of reference, the Google Docs sheet for the Forza Horizon 2 club is currently at 531. Confirmed bomba etc etc..

Yeah I'm quite pleasantly surprised by the response. It has literally been 3 days since we started it, without a thread of its own.

 

[aussiedude08]

i would never trust Dick Smith with a new release game. i dont wanna wait 2-3 days for Aus post to fuck around with it.

 

[Phreak47]

Add me too... Phreaker47

 

[ThatZedWord]

I just went through and added everyone on the Driveclub-GAF friends list. Let's do this!

 

[Eusis]

Hmm, should Plus people get put on that list too? I don't plan to buy this immediately even if I love the Plus trial, but if I'm remembering right we can still play with the full copy people, right?

 

[chopstik]

Just as a point of reference, the Google Docs sheet for the Forza Horizon 2 club is currently at 531. Confirmed bomba etc etc..

kinda low for a week-old game.

 

[Codeblew]

3 more hours. HYYYYYYPPPPPPEEEEEEEE!

 

[Saberus]

Sounds like a place to get you dick fixed.

 

[Wynnebeck]

Still at work! Gonna grab my copy when I get out at 12:30am. It's finally here guys! GET HYPEEEEEEEE!

 

[D23]

What to do for the next three hours???

 

[Eusis]

What to do for the next three hours???

Nap?

Or shower. That should be fun.

 

[Coolbgdog12]

What to do for the next three hours???

Walk down a co.

I'm just going to play Shadow of Mordor and Nocturne maybe between now and 3AM.

It's finally October 7th. My goodness the wait was long.
