Another game that just came out is really just 'who earned the most XP this week', which is a pretty blunt instrument to measure skill against. I think that the larger communities will be more engaging as a 'how are we doing against the giant bomb community' aspect, and that may help people feel included and engaged for longer. But the game inside each group isn't really very much IMO.
Jesus Mary saint Joseph!!
I'd quite like something simpler, like a brake point indicator. For tracks they often have distance markers to corners - 150/100/50 etc. maybe they could add a flag at the side of the track which represents the preferred braking point for your car on that corner. Not dynamic, so if you're coming in too slow from a previous corner it won't be ideal, and not overlaid on the track so less distracting.

The PS+ edition is free for all PS plus members. No harm in downloading it and trying it out before getting the full upgrade.
Weird, what I played last week was fantastic. Not the full game granted, but the actual driving was fun and the racing was challenging. Not sure what could wrong outside of that.

Damn, what's everyones beef with this game? I just don't get it, it's one of the best racers I've played in a long time. :/
Guarentee you the major complaint will be not enough content for 60 bucks.
Stale, lack of variety, etc....even though similar racing games like PGR3 and Grid1 were rated highly.
There does seem to be a lot of negativity surrounding the gaming press when it comes to this game sadly. I also agree with others here in that I don't expect it to review highly due to the checklist nature of reviews these days. 70+ meta is where I'm sitting. Still gaffers playing already have given it praise and I also can't wait for it

Either they have some piece of information we can't gather from the hours of streamed footage and hands-on impressions or they are trying to stay relevant in a time when other media is making magazines obsolete.

May be they are comparing this game to Forza horizon 2 to complain that there is no dynamic weather, replays, less cars and content etc., like game is incomplete and should wait for patches instead of reviewing this game as a racer and their goals in its own metrics. This is really bad and i hope this does not do any harm to this game (If it does then i really doubt Evolution studio can make another game), people can see the game in action for graphics, some impressions and gameplay right now to buy the game and they also know the content they are getting too. What else can go wrong horribly with this game?

anyone think Evolution made a mistake when they decide to have 5 location with 5 unique track each(11 with variation)? 25 tracks(55 with variation) is very respectable amount of tracks imo, but categgorizing them with only 5 location make them seems smaller. felt like it's probably better to have more location with just 2 tracks each.
btw, do we know whether the 5 tracks within a location actually look different/unique from each other? like does track A and track B in India looks unique or they look the same with just different layout? I can see some big backlash if they look very similar to another so you basically only have 5 different looking environment.

Next week the 7th I think (same date as the US releasedate). Have to check my NDA-form.
Ok thanks!

It's hard to deny that Driveclub on day one seems to not be the full package it needed to be. Dynamic weather alone can completely colour a different perception from a person playing the game.
All these beautiful GIFs in one post. I just can't take it!
Maybe a terrible question as I've been avoiding a lot of coverage to go in, semi-blind on this: Do our cars need to sport liveries? Also, in each race, are members of the Club choosing different cars? Kinda ridiculous, but that's how out of the loop I am! I am HYPED!

Mobile user's are going to love you xD Thanks for the gif's though heh
Semi-pro looked mighty challenging in the Sony stream yesterday. Good stuff.
They can but don't NEED to
Within a racing class, yes.
Yeah. AI seem pretty brutal.
With that, I'm off to bed! Gnite Gaf!

If DC didn't have weather, it would still feel complete as hell. I don't think many (if any) said FM5 was incomplete because of a lack of weather.
Manual gears, but not clutch support.
I'm tempted to buy the t500rs but don't because it isnt a official ps4 wheel, don't know if itll work for all future ps4 racing games.
Reposting at higher quality for future reference. Sorry for the big size
AMAZING !!
why there are not videos of this?

Well, the T500RS doesn't even come with a shifter (unless you bought it from a store that bundled it). That's sold separately and costs $150 on its own. But the game does have manual transmission, but I very much doubt that it has clutch support.

The worst part about this is that, if you're right, we likely won't see anything but layoffs at Evolution from this game no matter how much fun it is. Which means probably no Mortorstorm or WipeOut.
This is one of the rare times where, in the UK, it is worth going digital. Also, if you go to somewhere like cdkeys, you can get the £35 for more like £28-29.
Thanks.
What else is there? It's not like the Logitech wheels will get support. I will rage badly if the T500 doesn't work on future PS4 titles.
Maybe Rushy can tell us how much work it was to make the wheel work with Driveclub?
On another note, I don't need an active PS+ sub for the game to keep working after buying with the discount, right?
My PS+ is tied to my EU account, but the game costs $93 here, before the discount.
Could I get a cheap/free US PS+ trial, and buy the game there?
I will buy the shifter later. I asked because if Driveclub supported it, that later would be today.
Can't justify the cost or space for a playseat, but I need some way to lock an office chair to a wheelstand pro. The WSP guys should come up with some kind of bracket that you can attach to the WSP and then put office chair castors in to stop them rolling backwards

Oh my GOD. I love the lighting from the tunnel reflecting on every surface in the cockpit. Just incredible.
What's the reason for no clutch support?
In those hypercars a clutch and manual will be waaaay too slow compared to paddleshifters.
Would still like if it was supported, though.It's the same version, it's just the PS+ discount making it cheaper. I think the full price on the store without PS+ is actually a staggering £55.
No idea sorry, just read it doesn't support it.

That just makes me want a city expansion pack even more. This lighting engine + neon and streetlights would be 2001stargate.gif
it's strange when you go to the store, driveclub is on the front page and says from £49.99 and when you click it the next page has ps plus full upgrade £34.99 - just wondering if there was 2 different versions?
