Just wanna say I was mistaken in my comment. Itvwas redcommao, not button.

Anyway, can we not take up the thread with pointless drama? This is usually a very positive thread with a tight community. It's silly to get worked up with over a guy who doesn't even have an account here.

Yes, he sounds salty in that PSN message but if he's a nice guy like Knavish said, then he probably is. But if he's got an issue with kie25 posting videos to this thread then he's gonna have to get over it. There's plenty of great players on DC and Kie is one of them, the fact that he posts tutorials/guides is even better.

In my view would be better to have some context on how long it takes that's all. Would give all drivers a realistic view on whether its achievable and that if anyone spends hours doing TT's then WRs are achievable.

Total it up man in my view.

You are right though in saying that sometimes some time away from a track can be good. You do lap after lap and cant get near previous sector times. You leave it for a day or two and boom you nail it first time.

I am not a Time Trialer though I don't have the patience to go round and round for ages. I find MP much more intense and thrilling. I guess its a different kind of skill to be able to get past people and win races (not saying I am great at it or anything).

Yes multiplayer racing is good but I do mine on project as for me that's the more realistic game for racing, not saying Driveclub ain't fun for multiplayer racing as it is, but project is more for me when it comes to racing. Driveclub for me is about time trials and the tours I get my fix by nailing a lap. By the way my argument is not with you it's with him being childish and bitter sending messages on psn, he needs to grow up that's all I'm saying I never once mentioned button in a bad way untill he sent that.

I have to point out redcommao didn't say them things that was someone in here making up lies, redcammeo is a good guy.

I remember that and the GAFer in question (who has since disappeared from DC threads) was misrepresenting what redcommao wrote, presumably in order to incite DC GAF to take down his times.

Agreed I've watched videos I racing wish I had a pc to play it, hopefully Asseto Corsa will be good on ps4 next year, project is good but still no I racing from what I've seen.

No other company has the constant funding and infrastructure to create a healthy online experience that encourages no wrecking/unfair play and good sportsmanship. AC is more of a hot-fap-simulator right now on PC and very little play it online due to it's various issues with netcode and so on.

You can run iRacing even on a mediocre PC quite well so it doesn't cost that much to get hardware to run it.
Sims like rFactor 2 or AC do physics in certain fields better than iRacing, but i think that while they deliver a slightly better driving experience, the racing experience is nearly non-existant online... and.. well i'll rather race than just drive :D

PS. Sorry for OT.

Random event function is pretty neat, but I think it could be improved:

- add some options (event types, countries, car class, difficulty, weather)
- when a random event is over, have a button to generate the next random event (at best with the same settings you had previously)

Yeah, okay. Well, I only went with it 'cause after he added me, he got a little sarcy with me about my driving. Anyway, doesn't matter.



Just got that audio bug where it clips and then goes silent. Never had it before or in any other game.

It is one of my favourite features that I didn't really know I wanted. I think an options for it would be good that allows you to select/deselect certain things such as event types, modes, faceoffs, and even allowing tour events to appear in it.

It isn't random if you start having options for it....

What you want is Random on individual Single Event settings.

Some people like myself don't like drift events, they aren't that bad but I like how random event picks everything for you and usually to settings I wouldn't pick myself such as the car and tracks but I'd prefer not to get Drift events if given the option. There are probably people who dislike racing in the wet or dark but are happy with everything else, or perhaps they really dislike specific cars and would prefer to avoid them if it is going to be a four lap race at night in heavy rain. All the races seem to be at the difficulty of Semi-Pro and I'd like that to fluctuate a bit more but there are probably some people that are happy with that. As long as it is something like "press square for random event options" it won't get in the way and just make it better for the people who do use that feature.

Yeah, but the idea is it is random. Hit the button, up comes random event.

For sure I get you might not like some things it gives you, but then if you add options it isn't random.

This is funny, the very first random event I got was a drift event at night with heavy rain and I immediately thought "wish I could exclude drift events from this" :D.

For sure I get you might not like some things it gives you, but then if you add options it isn't random.

Do we really need to talk about the definition of random now !? I don't see why we could have an instant random event option AND a random event option with some parameters changed by the user.

For random events, I would really like a preview with options to accept, decline or generate a new event.

I tried it today and getting dumped straight into the event and then having to wait for it to load and start just to be able to quit and try again was highly annoying.

You see Kie I was quite prepared to drop it until you again sent a snidey little comment about button on your AHR world record post. You could have been the bigger person and dropped it

Let me put the GAF straight on this, I have spoken to DJW about this whole situation and he has informed me (you all think DJW is a stand up guy and wouldnt lie about anything) that Kie has indeed talked shit about Button to DJ before so this is not an isolated incident. But Button didnt run around the internet posting crap about you on Neogaf or twitter looking for sympathy. Are you actually upset because we wanted to kick you out of the True Talent team?

I dont want to derail this thread anymore but I will stand up for Button. Kie please stop talking shit about him.

Alright,

so after playing the free ps+ version, I bought a second hand copy of the full retail (disc) version for £10!

My question is, if i want to keep my profile, do I just pop in the disc and let it install - or do I need to delete the ps+ data (game data not saved games) and then pop in the disc.

Essentially I don't want duplicate game data taking up room on the HDD.

Yes I have said he is idiot to DJW before and that I don't like him as he has Been very childish in the past because I wanted to time trials and stuff he got in a big mood and started moaning that I should have to play online. but I've never sent a childish message about posting videos. I'm just going to ignore your post on here as your so far up his bk side. By the way the comment was a joke about him Spying on my videos.

Dang. I will never achieve anything remotely this beautiful. You look as if you were flying through it. Majestic :)

Thanks the record took about 10 mins to beat but I wanted to get a better lap in so it did take some time and patience to get it done :)

you can ignore me all you want Kie but DJ knows what you're truly like. Button isn't pissed at you posting videos just your boasting and ego. No you haven't sent him a childish message you just chat shit behind his back to someone he knows......very silly behaviour. Do you not think people talk? At least Button was upfront with you, you didn't even have the stones to tell him to his face.

Your entire old team knows exactly how big an ego you have. Lets be honest here, you post these videos for adulation and internet fame.

ha ha up his bk side? why for defending him? its what mates do, but you wouldn't know anything about that. I'm not having some self obsessed "internet fame hunter" talk crap about someone I know.

why don't you keep this thread for proper Driveclub talk and message me on psn if you have any issues please. I'll point out to you there are other people in your club that have said he is a idiot aswell. And I post my videos as why not? It's a world record. I'm sure there are loads people who would do the same if they got a one:1 world record or a perfect lap on project etc, your saying I have a ego can you show me proof please, all I've ever said is I prefer time trials to online. Please message me on psn anyway as I'd rather keep childish arguments out off this thread.

I tell you what Kie i'll ignore you and you ignore me. I'd rather not have my psn messages plastered all over the net. I have zero intention of engaging with you again its a chore.

I'm not sure as I have the digital version but the game data and sava data are two separate things. So you should be able to install from disk and delete the plus version and your profile data should remain the same.
 
Is a GOTY version with all DLC in the works? They've dropped the price of the full version (excl. DLC) on PSN, but wanted to wait to see if they would release a version with DLC?

I knew drafting in that opening stretch was the only way of doing it but I jus kept getting bumped off the road by the AI. Oh well, it's done now.

Yeah, i might have gotten lucky. I nearly fell asleep driving that final tour event on Velocity though. Too damn slow.
 
Nearly done with the horsepower pack , the cars are MAGNIFICENT.

Both ferrari are like , lions that need to be tamed and the new renault is actually very fun to drive with.

Much impressed.

The mc larenn P1 GTR is fantastic , a clear contender for fun in the hyper class

Anyone noticing more jaggies and pop in since the latest update? Barely ever noticed pop in before, but now I'm noticing it fairly often, along with more environmental jaggies on things like railings etc more too. Can anyone else chime in?

New cars are insane. Each in their unique ways, but my word do the GT-R Nismo, LaFerrari FXX and P1 GTR sound and handle absolutely insane. Sonic porn right here.

Managed a 2.09.193 on Goshodaira with the McLaren P1 GTR, which is a touch faster than I managed with the Koenigsegg One:1. Not suggesting it's a faster car overall, but it's definitely up there as one of the new fastest for sure. Not having nearly as much luck with the LaFerrari FXX. I just find it is slower to brake, and also suffers from some understeer.
