The Venom...oh the Venom...

Makes me wonder if people were playing The Crew beta when they said you could easily brake and turn at the same time in this game...

The Venom is killing me. That 1:16 hot lap is killing me. My finger hurts so much Best I could manage was 1:16:343

 

[PjotrStroganov]

if you've already joined your club it should add points to it from when you were offline.

I don't know. If i'm offline my clublevel is zero and I get no visible feedback telling me that points have been added to the club score.

 

[JamboGT]

Anecdotally, I joined my club when I was level 10, am now 38 or so and I only have had points added to the club when I was online, club is at level 9.

Well look at that, you've pretty much done it already, just a few more goes will shave off that .343 seconds.

Spoiler

And so the cycle continues...

 

[Konosuke]

Also something I noticed the other day, remote play on the Vita has a small border around the screen, anyone know why?

You have your Display Area setup incorrectly. http://manuals.playstation.net/document/gb/ps4/settings/areasettings.html

The Audi Showdown race in the Amateur tour was rather intense.

Almost the half the race was a constant draft in straights, it got pretty crazy when I was approaching the 150 Mph limit towards the end.

The sense of speed is unreal. I can't imagine what the Super and Hyper Car events will be like.

Took me an hour to get the last .2 off my time. Good luck I was ready to throw my controller across the room each time I didn't beat the time.

 

[murgo]

FUCK MURGO AND HIS FUCKING 1:16:182 TIME. I hate myself and my fucking ghost. FUCK! I'm almost always faster in the first two sections of the track, but I fuck up in the last one.

 

[PjotrStroganov]

In my gran turismo 2 days I found out that during the morning it was much easier to get below a certain lap time. Especially if I got burned out the day before.

 

[GTR R35_Supra RZ]

Dayummmn MP team race was so gud for that 1 race....then back to basics since Wed.

I always game at my best in the morning.

[Kane1345]

So I was connected for about 30 mins this morning but then got disconnected during the last race in a tour championship where I earned 182,000 fame points. I waited for about 5 minutes in the main menu and it connected again but I didn't get the points I earned whilst offline. Have I lost those points forever or will they get added to my profile and club at some later point? Anyone know?

 

[T_Exige]

For the Venom hot lap I found it went better to be gentle on the gas, the faster you have good traction. Going full on the gas keeps the car going crazy on throttle and loses time.

Still room for 4 people in my club, level 13 now.

 

[murgo]

FUCK MURGO AND HIS FUCKING 1:16:182 TIME. I hate myself and my fucking ghost. FUCK! I'm almost always faster in the first two sections of the track, but I fuck up in the last one.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK I managed to get to 1:16:038... in the last lap I managed to be faster than my ghost throughout the whole race. Then, in the second to last corner I got a corner penalty and lost. FUCK. FUCK. FUUUUUCK

 

[nw3]

Is it me, or is the Alfa Romeo 4C a real bitch to control?! You have to have amazing throttle control to stop the blood thing spinning out at corner exits.

Love the Mercs, Fer California, Lotus, Maserati cars in this category.....the Alfa is a different kettle of fish!

 

[Xater]

I can still not download the pre-order cars. This is ridiculous.

 

[murgo]

Venom Hot Lap: 1:15:954. I'm done with this shit. Gotta bandage my right trigger finger
Just saw the #1 dude on the leaderboards got a 1:12 time.. how the fuck is that possible?

 

[Semper88]

Go away with your pre-order cars, I haven't even been able to connect online!!! =P

 

[OmegaDL50]

While that is unfortunate, the pre-order cars are actually already in the game.

The pre-order bonus is more or less early unlocks of the cars with just special paint jobs.

If you played the Tour mode since release, it's more likely than not you have already unlocked those vehicles by gameplay by now.

Yes everything is fine in other remote play games, also the PS4 home menus are full screen too, just that Driveclub isn't.

I know what you mean. I'm terrible at the drift events, and I absolutely despise them.

I guess. Still this seems like something that should be easier to fix than the server issues that are still going on.

[AbundantChoice]

Those color statements are ridiculous, I want names, how could they miss/misunderstand such a simple thing like that?

It's not that ridiculous. If you generally don't go into your Garage, and instead just pick a car before each race in the career, it's really, really easy to think that there's just the one factory color and your custom paint jobs are totally pre-set. They don't make it obvious at all where to find those options.

It is.

Cause it's a false claim.
Surely it could have been handled better than being in a main menu option, but it´s not rocket science to find it.

 

[eso76]

can't download preorder cars...
They appear as bought, but when i try to download them i get a generic download error.
What gives ?

 

[mangochutney]

Your TV has overscan. Vita doesn't. They're resizing the game to be inside the Display Area you've set for your TV, but most games just do the HUD so you lose some of the visuals, but still see all the info.

It is ridiculous because they are reviewing a game, they should explore everything or most of it and have a good understanding of the game and it's features before saying "Hey, you should spend your hard earned money on something else".

 

[Fonds]

I tweeted rushy about the factory colour selection options.

He stated that it would be looked into.

 

[drotahorror]

Very bad design decision to not let you access the club cars you've unlocked when the servers are down.

 

[kitschbeam]

Really enjoying DC so far and now I have to resist the temptation to buy a steering wheel.

BAC Mono + T300RS sounds like a heaven to me but can't stand looking at the price which is roughly about 550 USD here.

Well, how would it know if you're entitled to drive it?

"Press square to edit" would be nice in single player.

 

[barit]

damn servers still down. wtf is evo doing ? seriously this is getting ridiclous now. over one week and nothing has changed ?

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

Well, how would it know if you're entitled to drive it?

A local flag to basically say the most recent club you joined was at x level?

 

[le-seb]

Cause it's a false claim.

Let's check that:

There are no tuning or upgrade options

Fact (considering mechanical tuning/upgrade).

and, aside from a loosely customizable "club" paint job set by the leader of your current car club, even the paint options are extremely limited.

He seems to forget personal custom design options, which could be seen as misinformation, but in the same time, you can't deny that the paint job options offered in DC are pretty simplistic compared to the whole design editor other games offer. It's a rather subjective argument, in my opinion.

Even the "factory" paint job option only offers one color.

Fact.

So, I wouldn't call this false claims, just rather shitty reasons to bash a game.

 

[Kaizer83]

I've downloaded the Mercedes-AMG GT S from the store but have never been able to use it on the tour just single events, is this normal?

My pre-order cars are also not unlocking due to the store error

 

[T_Exige]

Wednesday afternoon, more young players i guess They were up this morning, but that is no excuse ofc. . Wasn't there going to be an update on the 14th ?

 

[ShadowKingpin]

I agree 100%. Hopefully they fix this.

 

[sourc3d]

No idea why these are still unavailable, I've tried deleting them from the Downloads menu, and then gone to library and set to redownload a few times now and always just says it can't download them.....some preorder bonus huh!

And so far managed only 5 mins of uptime online in DC on Sunday early a.m., enough to create a club name. Not been able to access online or any club features again since

What a complete fuster cluck of a launch!

But the factory color can be every color imaginable? You just need to change it on another screen. So there are more colors than just 1 ? Or am I not understanding you correctly?

 

[le-seb]

There, on the left, it says 'Factory':

And it's a fixed colour that you can't change. Factually correct.

If you go into the garage from the front options screen, you can change to any colour you want.

 

[Auctopus]

I agree 100%. Hopefully they fix this.

Plus one for this. They can get rid of the borrowing cars for no accolades trade off too, though I can imagine everyone will be Level 50 by the time multiplayer gets going.

Sidenote: Got all Tour stars the other day and the bonus paint job is horrific, hahaa.

 

[Loudninja]

I agree 100%. Hopefully they fix this.

They are didn't sound like it was a design decision.
