Well he lives 5 minutes away from Evo and has been there a few times.

I agree with this they feel a bit like 250cc, reminiscent of a twist and go as well. A 250cc is all I ever owned myself (R4) but got to have a play about on my dads Fireblade and his old 916 and they were terrifying, put your balls in your throat from a tiny movement and the noise is on another level comparative to what is in game, it sounds very muted and I have the engine sounds turned up. I'm enjoying it much more than I thought and the multiplayer is really solid.

Damn, now I'm envious. So Kie what is being announced next week?
He has signed an NDA so can't say anything. Can't stop reminding us about it though >_>

I bought the expansion but my game doesn't recognize that I bought the expansion. I can't play DC Bikes.
Damn that's cool as fuck.
Did you try to restore licenses?

Those pesky NDA's. I'm sure there is a way we could get him to slip up.
Sounds like a must have. Can you elaborate a bit more about the experience?I've been very lucky to play the Driveclub VR and can tell you now it's insane, the most amazing experience I've ever had since I've been gaming, it's just unbelievable

I live like right near a road that joins to the M1, and that joins to the M6, and that joins to the M56, and that joins to the A56 which is literally five minutes from the studio.
Yet, no invite!

The bikes are great. Nice surprise by Evo.
Damn....i hope this makes it to the retail version. And please share a little more detailed impressions if you are allowed to do so.

Rushy, if you're still lurking around here, here's an idea for the next expansion that shouldn't break the bank: take out tarmac from every existing track, sprinkle the existing layout with some dirt and gravel, throw in 15 classic rally cars, tweak the physics a bit and voilá, it's done; DriveClub Rally!
My money is ready.

That worked out pretty well in Forza Horizon's Rally expansion.
Is there a tutorial or something for drifting and using the handbrake for turns? I just can't really figure out how to do it remotely competently. I seem to be utter garbage at sim racers, but I'm liking the PS+ edition. Wouldn't mind buying the rest if I could wrap my head around proper fast turning.

Now I can get my ass kicked on two wheels.
Best way to get a handle on drifting is fire up a time trial, get some light precipitation going and just experiment. Come off the throttle, turn into the bend, tap the handbrake and then play around with steering and throttle trying to control it as long as possible. What works well for one car might not for another, so you've just got to experiment on a car by car basis.
When it comes to just racing/time trials, you shouldn't be using the handbrake at all. Drifting is will never be quicker than a smooth line with good exit speed.
I wasn't ignoring you guys just to busy playing Bikes I experienced no motion sickness, ran supper smooth, the increased frame rate was really nice and I didn't really notice that much detail being lost, was so good I couldn't hide my smile,I really think sony are on to something really special with the VR

A couple of vids with the bikes, i'm still getting to grips with being consistent with them (getting offline can really screw you) but having a lot of fun with them.

Good battle with Skillet on the first lap but too many mistakes after, gotta love the little snaps and tank slappers tho!

Vaga missed his braking point and nearly made me faceplant!

I think they could be too. It seems the whole vr experience centres around presence and sensation. Guys seem to be worried about graphics and details when in all likelihood those things will become secondary concerns when playing vr.
If your brain can be tricked into believing it is there then its going to fill in the blanks anyway. "Virtual" "reality". It can be cartoonish or flat shaded voxels, but if you're tricked into believing you're actually there, then it becomes your reality and the sensation of that will be much greater than looking at really pretty graphics.

I think Driveclub is the best game on PS4. Also one of the best racing games ever made. Only 2 games have kept my interest for a year + on PS4. Driveclub and Res0gun. Res0gun is another one of PS4's best games. Can't wait to see what else they do with Driveclub. With me getting a wheel in december, the Driveclub addiction will come back even harder. I can't wait.
*Both games mentioned I bought the season pass as well (had never bought season pass's ever. Bought both as soon as they were available. Both have amazing dlc.

Yeah it's certainly not the greatest value, BUT the way I see it, the value of the previous season pass was amazing, so paying over the odds for this doesn't seem too bad.
For £53 all in, I've got a game that has kept me happy for over a year and keeps me coming back all the time with new content. Chuck me another £20 season pass Evo and I will snap your hand off again.
Got my 1st rank 1 time last night using pad, after sorting my pad out.slowly getting there probably another half second or so to knock off this lap, I think it may have been beat now as I seen Jenkins back on the event last night trying to take it back but I'm just made up I can get near the top using a pad after not playing with a pad for so long

how does it feel, did you use the wheel, or controller. How difficult it is, if you used the wheel? how is looking to the apex, how is looking back, do you need to turn your head all the way, are there sensitivity settings for turning your head(meaning that you don't need to turn your haed all the way to see behind), you know just the usual stuff

I was really lucky in terms setup as it was the same setup I've got at home, T500rs with Ferrari GTE wheel add on. Looking into apexes felt so natural it picked up every movement perfectly, I don't know about sensitivity options it was just a pre set demo, but it basically matched 1-1 . Looking back was the only thing that slightly messed with my head as someone thought it would be funny to get me to look out the sub roof backwards at over 100mph in passenger mode. Looking left and right felt so good everything just felt the correct size was really special, it's weird as you really feel like your in a super car, best experience I've had in gaming, id still be playing it now on 1 track if I had the chance

Thanks Ainsz.
So, 225 stars from the original tour, 90 from the two DLC tours given away free and 162 from the bike expansion gives me 477. I reckon that means I can get to level 69 (requires 465 tour stars) assuming I ever get the super-grind amounts of XP needed through occasional play!
Thanks again mate, much appreciated.
How did you experience the VR device itself? How comfortable is it regarding weight and balance? How does the brain deal with switching from real life to VR and vice versa? E.g. I like to have a drink once in a while (all the time really) during a racing against the AI or while doing time trials, pausing the game. With the VR module on, the drink is out of sight, obviously. So the module has to come off. Can that be done quickly, or is it a bit cumbersome?I was really lucky in terms setup as it was the same setup I've got at home, T500rs with Ferrari GTE wheel add on.

Aside from fewer opponents and no rear view mirrors, which dropped features stood out most, if any?

I just hope since VR support will be a thing, that 60fps will be an easy option to add (could just do it for solo). Wouldn't mind it just for time trials.

I'd say weather is the main problem with 60fps as I played race against 8 cars and didn't get a single stutter nothing just really smooth, and I'm sure evo would rather have fixed frame than 1 that fluctuates and I totally agree with that. But for single car TT no weather would be great to have that as a option I'll ask that next time I pay evo a visit
as the game felt silky smooth in 60fpsThe actual VR felt really comfortable and light, once you know where the buttons are etc to tighten up and loosen it will be easy to use. In terms my brain, I dealt with it fine it basically felt like real life it's hard to explain, I felt like I was in a bac mono I could look at the pedals look up anything. My friend who works at evo was laughing because he said most people put the headset on and sit there in the car looking around before driving, not me I went off like a lunatic
it just felt so natural. If you don't buy this VR you will miss out on the best gaming thing ever simple, was that good. Not got a clue on price but I'll do everything I can to make sure I can get 1 on release.

There's a trophy for participating in Evolution's Bike Challenge but the list is still empty two days after release. Solo Challenges for bikes too, in fact. It can't just be on my end, right?
Rushy tweeted earlier that he will get challenges out when they are back in the office
