I don't think they would want to do that because (correct me if I'm wrong. I probably am) the more people download something the more they have to pay. They've made it easy enough. They probably prefer people not download a game they will never play just to claim it.
In this case I don't know if the PS+ is going to hurt or help DC's sales. PS+ might get some people who are on the fence about the game to buy it after trying it out but it also might stop people from buying it because they are satisfied with how much content they get and are also able to get the platinum. I wonder which way more people will go though. I think it's preventing sales more than adding.

I need the PS+ version here meow 
I wanna play
I wanna playOH MY GOD. I think I know what I will do when the game unlocks tomorrow. I can imagine how that will look on a big TV, sitting really close to it...
Edit: Love how the driver holds to the steering wheel thru that.

I can tell you firsthand. Doing that on a 60 in TV with the lights off and head phones on is scary as hell. There is a reason why the person driving in that GIF just sat there after it happened.
Mmmm. This is making me get funny feelings in all the right places.

ugh, fuck that shit. It ruined NFS Rivals.
The driving, tracks, landscape and lighting give this game its personality, not DJ Tom X dribbling his special brand of complete and utter tut all over my speakers.
I don't know how any of them 8s or 5s can honestly review the game with the servers not being up yet...
No man, everytime I take a corner well or have a sick drift, I need someone letting me know! "OHHHHH YEAHHHHH, YOU DRIFTED THE SHIT OUT OF THAT, YO!" (koolaid man + aaron paul? yes please!)

The servers seemed fine until launch. A couple of people in the OT here had the game early and didn't report any issues.
Go up a few posts
(No, just racing..pure insane racing fun...no stoplights..no intersections...no cops...no guns..just racing )

But couldn't the argument be made that this game does have personality, in the sense that it's a pure car racing game for people who want to race? It shouldn't really be knocked for not having something like the festival gimmick of Horizon (which to me was by far the weakest aspect of an otherwise great game).
Associating attributes like personality and soul to video games is just a difficult thing to do. As with many other things, it's completely subjective.

Yup, 2 days ago the servers were a juggernaut and obviously it isn't now because of the amount of new people joining in!

Toss me in the minority, but I love the environment Driveclub has and I love the environment Forza Horizon 2 has. They're different styles, not sure why people can't enjoy both.

WHERE IS MY STORE UPDATE WITH THE PS PLUS EDITION URGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I played about 40 minutes and my initial impressions are:
-Love how the intro starts you into a race before the menus, feels awesome.
-The day to night weather is amazing.
-The landscape, details, engines roaring is beautiful.
-I didn't like the penalties for colliding, off track, etc. but in the end I like how it makes you drive more cautiously.
-Fix the servers!

I'm enjoying my time with the game but for the amount of online features they touted in the game, for the servers to be down is ridiculous. Especially after almost a year delay.

Servers get hammered, they go down. It'll get sorted out. Relax
This is going to be asked every single page, I see. Lol.
No, it's available the same time as the other PS+ games are always up: with the store update. Usually around 3PM EST.

Servers have had problems at launch with almost every major game release for years. This is nothing new. It'll get fixed.
Just had a go of the first race and I'm not sure how to feel. Disappointed I guess.
The track detail is amazing but the presentation while you are in the car racing makes it feel like a game from last gen. Everything seems soft with crushed blacks and the jittery camera makes it look like the game is constantly stuttering.
The way the opponent cars look, move and animate Is incredibly poor compared to recent next gen racing games, and with the aforementioned stuttering they seem to jump around the track.
The actual driving just doesn't seem enjoyable to me, I can't put my finger on it but it just doesn't feel good or fun to drive.

Im hoping the servers being hammered into submission is a positive sign as far as sales volume is concerned

Might want to check your PS4's RGB settings. You shouldn't be seeing any crushed blacks whatsoever.

That first race is underwhelming yeah. Try the mountain *something* race. It looks and feels great. That's when the game clicked for me.
Being 2 hours into the game I can't say that I'm impressed by the visuals. Perhaps I had really bad luck with the weather or the behind the car cameras just negate them.
Maybe I'm just not the eyecandy kinda guy and seem to notice the late decal fade-ins and 30fps more than most poeple.
EDIT: Why do all the characters look like generic douchebags?

Seriously?
I agree, I should have included that. Obviously we need variation between titles.

Agreed. Been playing a lot of FH2 the past week and the scenery is beautiful even if it doesn't feel as "next gen". Driveclub is also gorgeous.
