Touge road with red leaves in Japan would be fun for drifting but all the preset tracks are from mountain area(?). So My vote is for coast lines as well. Please evo!!

Question, wasn't there some kind of special deal for buying DC, if you are on Plus? Or is it the whole 60€ for everyone (No idea about the $ price, I'm sorry) regardless of Plus?

Is there ingame music (i.e radio) during the driving?

Watched a couple of videos and wouldn't mind having a few tunes in the background while playing.

It's €40 if you have PS+. Look for the upgrade in the store, not the "normal" version.

Just wondering, was there any game ever with such a realistic and awesome looking cloud system?
I'm wondering the same.

I can think of a bunch of games that sport beautiful and dynamic skyboxes (GT for example is really good at this), but none that gives such a 3D render of cloud cover.

This and the lighting are technical marvels.

You can get the full game for 40€!? I had no idea lol. That seals it, day 1. I always buy physical versions, but I'm not into racing games, it's all about those graphics (I can't believe I'm saying that, and it's not that I don't want to play it). Getting the game for 20+€ cheaper - albeit digitally - sounds like a great deal.
 
For people that have Pre-ordered the PS+ upgrade. There still no clue why the preloading haven't started yet !


Here is what the Sony live chat told me:

Well, this must be a server issue, the timer that is shown in the system may change during the day. I would advice you to wait a couple of hours. We don't have the exact time of when it can be downloaded but keep in touch with our blog http://blog.us.playstation.com/ for more updates.

Preloading in the US/CDN often starts at 12pm/2pm ET of the day it's scheduled. At least that's what happened with my Destiny and FIFA 15 preloads.

Here are two excellent video's taken by someone who went to the Evolution Studio's DriveClub event yesterday. The video is taken off-screen with a camera, but is good quality.

First video shows off the Photo Mode, which looks to be spectacular. Free roaming camera, go anywhere on the track.

Second video shows off weather (rain in this case). The track starts dry and you can see the rain form puddles and the track get slick as the race goes on. The rain with the Sun peaking through the clouds at times is gorgeous.

haha that xbox controller in his hand made me laugh, he has got a point though, games should be released when they are finished. and i personally wouldnt buy driveclub because of the lack of content when compared to other racers who are sold for the same price

What lack of content? 55 courses is a perfectly adequate number of tracks (isn't that more than, like, all PS3 Motorstorms combined and much more than racers usually have?) and there's a beefy online/competetive side to the game. The number of cars is also respectable, not every game needs to be some car porn/collectathon racer like Gran Turismo. And we'll get a lot more cars& tracks for free as DLC for a long time after the game's release.

Any idea of single player? Is there good progression to it? Career, cars to unlock, etc? I don't plan to play mp a lot.

Consider the other countries Beta testers. That's how I look at late releases :D

I wouldn't mind if there wasn't the club and earning cars for others aspects, especially when levelling up takes longer at higher levels. Basically the UK is going to get a few days less of level ups and goodies than anyone else, especially if we intended to have any Americans or whatever in our clubs. Not the end of the world, but so many gamers tend to play their games the most in the first few days they got it.

They have HUD projected on the windscreen, nice. But where's the GPS element of it :p

(in the real car) you can toggle to have the speedometer and the GPS turn signals....i guess the devs chose to just show only the speedometer which makes sense.

its like asking why have a NAV screen but not putting the map on there to simulate it

I don't think it will matter much :p

I might see if it is possible to get a US account and grab a PS+ trial and download that on Tuesday while we patiently await Friday, that way at least we'll be up to speed in India.

So I'm a little confused about the future updates portion, at launch there is no weather or photomode? It has to be patched in during an unannounced date?

Man. This game is fucking frustrating at later single players levels. I am stuck at the semi pro race and I am about to throw the cobtroller. Cars hit me from the back and my car lose track no matter what I do. And it's not like I hit them first and they want revenge no. They just want to be in the track tey programmed in. This is frustrating

Its a real bummer, man. I wish they would fucking fix it already.

Could have sworn it's been fixed since the latest firmware update. Is it still not working for some? I haven't been following the discussion there since it started working all the time for me after the update.
