No, they are just watching server loads I suspect. they don't want it break again is all

This could be another disaster for Evolution Studios.
That's why they're rolling access to the online servers

Exactly. I really don't understand their throught process with this delayed online rollout. I'm guessing we could have had this offline version last year.
15 cars one location all game modes.

Can't wait to hear the same arguments from the last thread in this thread.
It sounds to me like they think the servers can handle it, but will ramp it up slowly and if they're struggling, will wait a bit while they sort that. It sounds like the infrastructure changes were to allow for more dynamic server allocation so they can do it more on-the-fly.
Not quite sure why the offline component wasn't released much earlier, though. What they're releasing now is what they always could have released, in principle.
Also, mildly disappointed there's apparently no provision for people who had a sub back when we were originally told it would launch and now no longer do. To be fair, I didn't really expect that to be covered (hence why it's only a mild disappointment!), but it would have been a nice gesture.
So why are we excited? lol

I'm waiting for a season pass discount, the game is great fun.

Forgive me but isn't that pretty minimal? I have not played the full game so maybe I'm misunderstanding.

1 "location" - India, but India itself has 13 tracks.
Well its a more than enough for people to get a good taste of it.

I was sorta interested in checking Driveclub out, and now they finally bring this out just as my PS+ subscription expired, eh? I guess it just wasn't meant to be.

Something to the extent of 1/4 of the cars and 1/6 of the tracks of the base full version I think.

Yeah, but it feels nothing like PGR. The physics are twitchy and just odd, nowhere near a sim/realistic game. They're easy to get used to but the cars react way too fast. PGR is easily closer to a sim than DC just in how the cars are actually weighty and have momentum going around corners.

They've been here since yesterday!
24.99 I guess that's above your rate.
Ah thanks. Was there when the thread blew up. Damn even the launch they can't get right

I was lucky enough to get it yesterday, (I've mentioned this yesterday)
and oh boy does this game rock
The visuals are so hot man (never seen anything like it)
The sound and the HUD the aesthetics are so elegant.
But it's not just the graphics the control of the car is so smooth
I'll be buying it for sure ( where can I get the best price for it, I rather have a physical version)
If you have a PS4 there is really no excuse to at least Dl this version I think it's a smart move on Sony they finally be making a profit out of this game.

The game is heavily online focused, the ghosts, the Face Offs. Take the online stuff away and it becomes a bit of a dull game.
And check my post history to see that isn't a troll.
For that reason I don't think they'd want to have an offline version sitting there for countless months as people'd go 'this is junk, let's move on'.

its an awesome game....too bad the launch tarnished it. One of the most underrated current gen games.

I felt the same way at first but India offers many tracks
so it's like many different parts of India, and they look so different from each other.

So how long will the DC ps-plus edition be up for? I doubt after all this it'll only be up for a month, right?

I'm sure you will be fine.
I did. That's why I'm asking as it's not clarified what this entails exactly.
I don't know how you slowly roll this out, though. If they anticipate server overload, then they're gonna have a lot of unhappy people when shit doesn't work. Or maybe they'll just do it region-by-region or something?
It's 13 tracks dude

The launch has only tarnished something that was going to be tarnished no matter what in some random's mind. Real racing fans know the difference. Period. Barring 60FPS fanatics.
