Have the game at home, but no chance to check out the tracks yet, but even if YouTube hides a lot of the aliasing, the gamesyde videos are mind blowing, and well beyond YouTube.

In a months time all this will be forgotten. You'll have more cars, more tracks, rain, snow, thunder and lightening, a thriving online community and more challenges to complete.

Check above.So the game's out in EU now - where's our EU DC at? Are you guys too busy playing to post in here?
I don't know about you guys, but I'm playing DriveClub the same as Gran Turismo. Gold or nothing, if I don't get gold, I'm not trying the newxt stage.

So....any word on the iOS app?
Considering the online didn't work last night, and no App at launch for iOS at least....kinda lame seeing as the game has already been delayed a year. Wish the launch went smoother.
Either way I am dying to get off work and get back into the game.

He's exaggerating. The game has aliasing, but its not bad at all. Its more noticeable when standing still and on the back of certain cars and not very in motion at all.

One more reason to play cockpit view. Seriously, after experiencing that, no other mode can compare
Wut? Really?

I love the cockpit view, I just suck more in that view so I keep going back to 3rd person.
You'll get used to it man. It's my first ever attempt. And I'm playing with no HUD too!

i've been begging for over 5 years.
Game seems alright enough. It's a solid racer. I obviously haven't seen the full potential though since it can't connect to the servers. From what I understand DriveClub is supposed to be the 'social racer' so I feel like I'm missing a fairly large part of the appeal. Guess I'll shelve it and wait for the issues to be sorted out.

That's terrible, you don't need to forget this kind of things. NEVER. They screwed up, people needs to let them know so they finally fix their shit with the store and the way they handle things.
Someone confirm.

They are both pretty different to really say which one to go with. Both have great visuals, both play great, but FH2 is open and has a lot of things to do in it, from just driving around on your own doing what you want to do, finding the barns or the signs to gain more XP or doing races against the AI or on-line. It is more of a relaxed game, while DC is more of a circuit, point to point racing games with not a lot of extra stuff in it. There is no tuning or stuff like that to do, so it lends itself more to an arcade type of racing game, with some sim thrown in.
Personally, I would say get both if your are a racing fan and since they are very different you can jump between them. If you can only get one, I would say the amount of content and things to do would lean itself more to FH2. But it in end, you just have to decide if you want more of a circuit based racing game or a go anywhere game.
Both games from users perspective seem to be very positive, so whatever you choose, you should have a good time.

did they spoil the story?
Have to disagree. The bottom cam (if you call it so?) is super cool too. Nothing in your view just the street and the landscape ahead.
Oh and btw get rid of that HUD for massive immersion @all
Yep omg that ending

Hey, I have a question. Why am I a woman?
Whew! I was wondering if it was just me who was having issues with connecting to the social hub.
I can't handle the sound in that mode. I need the sound deadening. Feels like I'm strapped to the front of the car in bumper and hood cam
Just preference, I know. I'm sure a lot of people dig the screaming engines and gushing winds

After the giant bomb quick look and these meh reviews I think i'm out until a $30 or so price drop.
The concerns about the grippy, understeer heavy controls worry me the most.
Maybe they'll patch in better controls but man, after a year delay this game sounds like a mess.
I'll still play the PS+ demo but not expecting great things. Back to destiny!

First impressions. The menus/music are uber tight and responsive. The car physics are accessible, which I was hoping for considering my G27 is not supported. I'm a big Sim racing fan, but I really like how things feel via the DS4. It does not take long to get confident. 1st India tracks graphics were underwhelming... Next I did the Chile mountaintop circuit which looked phenomenal.
Time to dive back in...
Seriously, the music is awesome. Just sit on a menu for 10 minutes and listen.

All progress you make on the PS+ version will carry over to the retail version.

If true, I'll download it the first thing in the morning. It's actually sooner than I thought, as the PS+ games usually go live at early evening around here.

Gerstmann should be the last person you listen to about a Sony 1st party game. And in this case, again, he's dead fucking wrong. The controls are dead on, and no one whose played the game are complaining about them.

I have a feeling aliasing will be non-existent on my tv. Seriously I think my TV has some sort of aliasing algorithm on its own in game mode. No jaggies at all in Infamous. Same with Killzone. I was blown away that Minecrafts screen was so full and alias free. Same with Final Fantasy XIV. Or maybe since I don't use edge enhacing and lower my artificial screen sharpening to 0 it basically kills the edges of the objects and makes aliasing disappear. Dunno what it is but I love it
Pretty much what I'm doing. Do some races, talk about it on GAF while in the menu!

Sure wish I could create a club.....I kind of don't want to play until I can contribute points towards it.
Played another hour so around 3 total. I got wrecked on that final championship to progress past rookie league, lol. I'll have to retry that tomorrow.
Aside from that, the first section has been acceptably challenging but not too much so. I do think i'm gonna hit the limit of my skills pretty early and not be able to unlock supercars or the last couple tiers. I just don't have the reflexes. I hope a future update will unlock all cars for single race modes. I always hate when stuff is locked in racing games for the quick pick-up race/ time trial mode.
I love the handling and the drifting on some of the wider roads. The combination of slight braking and then tapping the e brake really reminds me of pgr. Good stuff. I Find I have a very good sense of when i'm heading to fast in a turn, when i'm losing grip or how much gas to apply to keep a drift going. Very solid controls and feedback.
Edit. For a real sense of speed, I need to use bumper cam. With the cockpit view, stuff feels too far away and sense of speed goes down. Happens to me in almost all racing games, really.

Weird question: Does it have an attract mode? That's like an unsung art these days. I always appreciate them when they're put in.

Came back from a 2/3h run.
This game is CRAZY FUN. I love it. Screw the reviews. Please people. Before dissing the game at least give it a try. I'm pretty sure most people will like the game.

Infamous and Kiilzone are pretty much devoid of aliasing.

what is this about gerstmann bias?
I trust big jeffrey implicitly.
It was echoed in several other reviews from Gamespot, eurogamer, USgamer, and joystiq today. It was one of the common threads of complaints about the game in most reviews.
My point is this sounds like it could be a good game but it has neither a lot of variety and flair nor does it nail the fundamentals.
