Yup. Always listening

[RankFTW]

I downloaded the game in less than 5 mins on my end.

Dunno what's up then, no rush anyway.

 

[Always-honest]

For some reason I thought that 25€ upgrade gets me the full game with season pass. I'd bite that but for 50€ I think I'm gonna wait a little...

There is plenty without the season pass.

 

[Plankfan]

After I click the "Download to PS4" button, it just hangs like this indefinitely. Any ideas?

 

[| Praxis |]

There's opinion, and then there's being completely unable to see things from other perspectives. I might think Skyrim is a bad game for example, but I can still understand what other people are getting out of it.

That is why I said he was wrong. I even said that in the part you quoted. It doesn't mean he's bad at racing games.

It might be a PSN thing. Or restarting your console might help.

 

[Pankratous]

Yup. Always listening

Oh my, its not every day you get to quote one of the creators of one of the most impressive games ever.

Spoiler

My nose is so brown.

PS4 is off right now. I'll try messing with it more after work.

 

[Noobcraft]

Anyone else getting awful download speed for this? Mine downloads at like 200kb/s for a few minutes, shoots to ~20mbps for a minute, then goes back to super slow.

 

[OccamsLightsaber]

Yup. Always listening

Cool. Tiny request. We need a way to access settings during replays. Thanks!

Just the store fucking up. Try logging out and back in again.

Same here, got to about 80% and slow down to a crawl. And I have gigabit Internet.

 

[CREMSteve]

I was incorrect, the game downloaded enough to let me launch, but the actual full game is still dl'ing in the background. Tricky ps4, lol.

It's actually going to be about an hour or so before it's completely dl'ed.

Ugh of course I overlook the obvious. That seems to have worked. I'll know for sure later. Thanks!

Rest mode + remote play ftw.

How does buying expansion pack with PS+ version work? If you buy the tour pack but don't have access to that location its going to be wasted.

They changed how the tour stuff works a while back, if you have unlocked the tour you can do that event even if you don't have the car and in the case of the PS+ version I'm assuming similarly to Startline Tour you also get access to the track even though you can play it in other modes.

 

[valkillmore]

So has anyone managed to download and play the PSPlus edition? Any multiplayer connection issues?

 

[ukas]

Have you tried a different browser?

 

[BigDug13]

So those links in the OP don't really work for me. So the title of this thread was updated but without changing the OP, it becomes confusing as I seem to only have access to the full game trial.

Well in that case you don't have to buy the game at all, just buy season pass since it has more than 3 times the events than the base game.

exact same issue for the past 2-3 hours, tried different browsers and everything, and it doesn't seem to be up on PSN on the PS4 itself

Legitimate request, but I doubt it's a tiny one.

 

[sora87]

25gb, damn.
So the "game demo" is actually the PS+ edition?

 

[Z3M0G]

It's not free.

By your own argument, it then costs pennies or less.

 

[pager99]

Yep if you upgrade game just unlocks

That's correct, it's just poor wording and they are working with PlayStation to try to fix at the moment. It's not actually a trial, but downloading that will get you the PS+ edition.

 

[Lgndryhr]

Just logged in via Firefox, clicked download, purchase, etc. It is downloading to my PS4 while I am at work. Very curious about this game. Have held off on $20 price point for physical copy or this to come out.

 

[Plankfan]

Have you tried a different browser?

Multiple browsers and machines. No dice.

 

[GoldenCrow]

I personally prefer the single events over the tour mode, much more interested in setting things up the way I like and where the real meat of the game lies. But in terms of cars most of my personal favourites are all in the DLC but I wouldn't be able to play the best combinations if I just stuck to the DLC as I would have to stick to whatever the tour gives me. So ultimately it really just depends on how people like to play their racing games, if they just like doing set objectives then the DLC would probably be a better option but if they like freedom then the main game would be better.

If you like sim racers youll like this game, otherwise youre going to be bored to death.

false

[/b]
No it won't

No it doesn't. It works like everything else you buy with a PS+ discount.

I remember this being part of the pitch for the upgrade on the PS+ edition when they first revealed it. Did they alter this? It took so long to come out that I have no idea what's actually become of it.

 

[BigDug13]

Oh ok. I clicked through and got it. Thanks.

Come on man,
I've played the mini cooper challenge and it felt very arcade like,
very fun. The game is not just some sim racing game.

I don't even racing games, and I had so much fun do to the high quality graphics and sound,
the love for racing starts later.

There is really no excuse I believe anyone that has PS+ should download this and give it a try, I guarantee that we will see way more Driveclub fans emerging int the next days to come.

Same for me, the Tour Events are nice but most of the time I make a single event myself.

I did buy the season pass though because I wanted all those cars, no regrets.

Wait till you get to the super and hyper class cars, that Mini Cooper challenge sure is fun but if you drive at twice the speed... Dayum!

Didnt tell him not to try, im simply trying to keep his expectations in check. It might not be a hardcore sim like gran turismo but its still a sim.

 

[Lgndryhr]

I like most racing games. I enjoy GT, Forza up to 4, but not Horizon series, GRID 1 only, most NFS games, Burnout, and Ridge Racer until Unbounded.

 

[oddjobs]

ugh, got the game and the game content downloaded but now the 10 gig patch is taking ages... do I need it to play?

edit: yes, I apparently do

 

[biglittleps]

Worked fine to me in Safari.

 

[Teleporter]

Any chance this game has a port to pc in the near future?

 

[TheAdmiester]

I think you got that the wrong way around.

 

[Seanspeed]

You aren't keeping expectations in check by telling him it's a 'sim', though. Nobody really considers it a sim(because its really not one) so calling it that will give him a misleading impression of what it is. GT is not really a hardcore sim, either.

I'm a big sim racer, but DriveClub isn't really my type of game.

Because it's not a sim.

I doubt it, but it would be nice. I'd love to see the game with aa to get rid of all the jaggies.

They're in development, and we'll have more news on them soon hopefully.

Thanks! It's really the only thing missing in the game now for me and friends.

 

[Dragonslayer_023]

How does buying expansion pack with PS+ version work? If you buy the tour pack but don't have access to that location its going to be wasted.

I have a couple expansions from when they were free and I can play them in the PS+ version.

 

[Yakkity]

They're in development, and we'll have more news on them soon hopefully.

Soon as in The Last Guardian soon or actually soon?

 

[witchedwiz]

after how many months exactly?
Thanks but no thanks...
I've already bought the game...

I pretty much despise sims. Driveclub is one of the best racing games ever made. Strange.
