Man I'm surprised they're actually even bothering to respond to the FB comments

The pro tour is starting to piss me off. Or maybe its just my shitty driving that's pissing me off. Need 122 stars for the trophy race and I'm at 107.

So Can someone verify this? Found it on the other thread. Are they locking down more sales until they fix it?

Yep. It's totally legit. Just found it on the PS Store.

Nah, good for them. Hate to be the guy trawling through that mess.

True that. I think you've solved the puzzle right there.
I'm still coming to terms on exactly how that happened myself. Really shoudn't have been possible and I still kinda don't believe it.

They confirmed that the T100 works also. It's only $150 and has FFB.

Any luck with clubs showing up for anyone? Or getting into races with friends yet?

Can confirm T100 is a great wheel and works perfectly.
They should now if you online, they were offline yesterday because they were running tests.

Such a mess. Quite frankly I don't know which is worst: buying a game that is bad or being unable to play a game that you want to play. I know I can play it offline right now but the Club/Challenge/Leaderboards is the extra piece that ties everything together. Right now it feels like if I keep playing the Tour, I will miss half the experience.
Still for sale in the European Store.

I have this stand. It says it is compatible with the T500RS. I have an email in to see if it is compatible witht he T300RS also.

Do you need a stand for that wheel? Or will it clip onto a desk like the T80?

Thanks for keeping the updates flowing in Loudninja, much appreciated.
Not me. I admittedly don't have much time into it so far but I'm pretty underwhelmed so far. The driving is alright but it's not amazing. The graphics are really hit or miss too (some areas/settings look great, but most of it is pretty poor. Some pop in with textures on trees too. Also the Multiplayer works fine for me but the players are insanely aggressive
Any way to put share button videos on YouTube?bananafactory

No stand required, clips onto a desk and seems quite accomodating in terms of how thick the table/desk surface can be. The clamp attachment is adjustable, tried it on both my computer desk and coffee table and it works great on both.
Nice! Thank you very much - am bookmarking that page. Sweet.
Will see if I buy T300 or "just" T100 tho...I need something for this game.

T100 owners -is it easier or harder with the wheel? I've never used a wheel on a console before and it's been a while since I've done the arcade racing.
I think I need a wheel for this game, I wish they had a cheap one with a clutch and shifter though.

Guys, stop it. I just got paid today and ya'll are going to make me buy a wheel.
Yeah, I've just been reading the sour comments aimed at driveclub on facebook and twiiter. I originally thought these comments would be made by angry teenagers, but from what I'm reading, a lot of the main dummy spitting is being done by middle aged men.
Kind of a ballsy purchase at this point, no? Evo literally can't get the core game working four days after launch. God only knows when the PS+ version will roll out. I have zero confidence that they're going to meet their DLC schedule.

Glad to help. These stands are great. You can just fold it up when you are done and put it in a closet. Very sturdy and solid feel and is fully adjustable with clamps to tighten things up.
But you have the game already right? It's expected to show like that of those who already own it. Was wondering if it were the case for those who didn't
Yeah I was asking people who don't have the game to verify it.

Yeah i guess it is but I see myself playing this for a long time as my go to racer until GT7 so if I have to wait a little for content or stable servers, there are plenty of other games to play in between. Still haven't started Middle Earth:SOM

I hate drift challenges in every game I've ever played and generally give up on them after a short while. The good thing about drift challenges in DC is that you don't lose your drift points if you crash or go off course, so it's not as frustrating.
I still don't enjoy drift challenges in this game, but it's nice to know I can try and pull off the most insane drift without the worry of having to pull out before I crash or something.
Woo, first online game and 2nd place. And right after that servers went down
Also that Italian Performance challenge was insane, can't wait for rainy version of it and why we need to start 5th or 7th in Tour mode on every race?
This could be fantastic racing game but flaws are slowly creeping out ....

It is most definitely a profound difference when playing racers with a wheel, especially a good one. Easier, not really sure if easier is the way I would describe it. Just way way better and more precise. you will be able to shave off more time on your runs with a wheel.
Not many games have full clutch support so I feel it really isn't needed.

The people working on the server issues are probably networking specialists, unlikely it will have much impact on the people working on adding more cars/tracks/events etc.
Even still, I'm not too worried if the DLC schedule is impacted a bit. Got enough other games to keep my busy while I wait.
Didn't even notice this O_O
I saw something like this on one of the early races. A car did a knee jerk turn at full speed for no reason. Rolls ensued. I don't think I survived haha.
Yep I dont have it and it says the same thing.
The ps plus upgrade version is still there though for purchase.

I wish the drift challenges worked more like time trials and just let you keep looping around until you decide to quit.
As they currently work they're really bad for learning how to drift since they're over in a matter of seconds. Then the event finishes and then you get the scoring and then the other scoring and then you can restart - which is instant - but its jarring.
So I've actually been practicing using the closed circuit race tracks (small, lots of tight turns) in time trial mode.
Interesting. So they've taken down the $60 version alone?
I think they did because people with psplus can stop buying the higher price one.

That's because they don't want plus members to buy the full priced version accidentally. I assume you have plus?
edit: nvm i see you answered
Ahh ok...
Well there it is. Even though the network is still FUBARed apparently, I'm loving the game and hating the hating the wheel solution on the PS4 with every passing minute I play so... I bit the bullet...
Arr, I'm really envious

Because networking and content are delivered by different people? The game works fine, its networking stuff that is down.

Bah, I really wish I had the money to get this... Being a responsible adult sucks ass hairs. Its ok, I can wait for the ps+ version. I just started playing uncharted (I know, I know, really late) for the first time, so I have all 3 games to go through.

This should have worked day one man.
Or you could hit options before crossing the checkered flag… At least that way you get a better idea of how to maximize score per section.
Someone here said they noticed pop in on tree textures, how in the name of whichever god you subscribe to are you able to drive and watch trees? Maybe in level one racing but not in the cars above the hot hatches.
Racers look better in motion for a reason.
I mean if you park near a shadow you see it move in incremental steps and not smooth motion...but you are not supposed to do that

I don't even know how people say this game doesn't look good. I'm just gonna assume people have some badly optimized TV's.
There however is some pop in while driving like with shrubbery especially in Chile but you gotta be staring way out at environments and not actually paying attention to races to notice.
That was the issue I had with mine - sharpness was way too high. I hadn't noticed it until
Drive Club, though. The TV itself isn't particularly large and I was sitting far enough away that most other games didn't look bad enough for me to consider checking the settings.
The impressions here made me take a look and I'm really glad I did. I'm now going to make sure to do some research on proper optimisation before I purchase a new TV this holiday. I'm starting to wonder what else might be off on this set.

I don't know of any other racing game on the consoles that comes anywhere close to this. Not considering DC's level of detail, lighting, draw distances and IQ. I've also noticed zero pop-in except possibly maybe once at the margins in a fly-over before a level started.
Whatever the comparisons, the stuff we're going to have on offer by the end of this generation will be on a level I can't even comprehend.
Interesting method, but that'd still feel too weird to me. That first Drift challenge event - the very first one - is like 30 seconds on the track and boom, its done. Its too all-or-nothing for me.
When I load up a track for time trials I can spend all day refining my techniques.
