Game is just... BEAUTIFUL.

Amazing graphics and indian tracks are the most beautiful in my opinion.

I can see why Sony will give that ones on this edition.

By the way, servers were perfect for me today.

..and less than a month before GTAV / GTA:O

 

[fritolay]

Is it PSN issue or specific code with this game? It boggles my mind.

It's not PSN. Not sure why people are blasting PSN over this. This is all on Evo's networking code.

Technically you are 100% correct....but in reality, most people don't make this distinction and whatever issues Driveclub has reflects poorly on Sony as well

 

[TIMtationX]

I guess this means we ain't gettin' weather, picture mode or replay until 2016.

 

[Hidden One]

I'm a SONY fanboy but PSN has been fucked all month, and this Drive Club delay is ridiculous and they have been really silent about it. Why are we paying for PSN again?

Hell, everyone in this thread ain't even gettin' Driveclub until 2016.

Driveclub is not crippling PSN. Destiny did not cripple PSN, COD:AW will not cripple PSN.

This is all on Evolution's networking code, and servers.

PSN provides authentication, friends lists, party chat, trophies, and the marketplace, none of which are responsible for Driveclub's current woes.

 

[GodofWine]

What does AW have to do with this?

Destiny didnt cause an overload, so this wont have issues either UNLESS they have SOFTWARE ISSUES like Driveclub did / does

Edit: damnit cakely !!!!

 

[watership]

Sigh...

Part of what makes this whole damn thing pretty annoying is that PS Plus on PS4 doesn't hold a candle to what they release on PS3 on a regular basis. Too bad some of us had our loyalty on PS3 rewarded by still having our launch consoles with hard disks not big enough to take advantage of it :/

So yeah, Sony, don't have much good to say about this, and no, Spelunky doesn't hold a candle to something like Sleeping Dogs or Nu-Raider.

PS4 has a small library compared to PS3. That's the only different. Sony is still doing pretty good given the limited amount of software out in the past year.

Well, I've waited long enough. I was waiting to try the PS plus version before i bought the full game as I'd recently been burned by jumping in and buying Destiny without waiting for the reviews. That was traded in a week ago. So, here I am with XBone + Forza Horizon 2 sat in my amazon basket and I'm about to pull the trigger after a year of doubt. Feels good. Welcome back Xbox Live Gold - I've missed you .

You don't want to spend $60 to find out if Driveclub is good....so instead you spend $460 to see if Forza Horizon 2 is any good. Plus the cost of XBox Live. Gotcha.

Welcome to Xbox One. Forza Horizon 2 is the racing game of the year. One of the best games of the year in general. Enjoy! I don't think you will miss Drive Club one bit!

 

[BeforeU]

Seriously I wouldn't hold your breath for this year. The online is already broken in the month of October, the load doesn't get any better in November and December when people: 1) buy lots of games and receive lots of games as gifts; and 2) have lots more free time to play said games.

It simply doesn't make sense to then allow a potential 10 million new players online in those months to ruin the experience for retail purchasers (the people they really should care about).

Like I said earlier, February 2015 (Bloodborne to draw players away and a good distance from the holiday season) makes the most sense for a PS+ release, unless they change the PS+ version to be offline only.

At this point since they've already failed to meet their promise of concurrent PS+ release with retail, they can just treat the game like a normal PS+ game. Like most other PS+ games that are fairly recent, expect it months after the official release of the game.

Man I hope this is not true. Next year no way.

I have the paid version. Let's just say. If your lucky maybe next week. Things still not connecting very good.

Hopefully we get some good news.

I'm not so sure about that. Since Destiny released, we've had a couple of full outages not related to DDoS, and I've had no end off niggling issues with PSN. Can't access the PS4 store, the What's New page just hangs with an hourglass.

I too like Microsoft Corporation. I commend you on your expression as an individual. Let us purchase their products thusly, friends.

All I know is Forza Horizon was 100% functional on release, and certainly is right now. Good enough for me. Also, I had the 360 for 7 years, and live was hardly ever down. We cant say the same for PSN over the past couple of months can we ?

 

[Hindle]

Sonys silence in regards to this has been terrible, they've not kept thier fans informed. The type of people currently buying the PS4 are very fickle, if issues with PSN keep them from playing Cod and Fifa, then over the long term, Sony will lose them to Xbox again.

I've play 4 other online games with NO problems. Pretty easy to figure out?!

 

[BeforeU]

This is just false. XBL was indeed and is still a quality service. But 60$ quality? that's subjective. Multiplayer was the best on 360 due to live functionality and party features. And the downtimes weren't nearly as bad as we have experienced on PSN. But since it was free, people were kinda well you can't really complain much. But now it can't be acceptable.

 

[CambriaRising]

Can't believe this stuff hasn't been fixed yet. Unbelievable Evolution.

There are people who have had problems though, by playing thier legit grievances down, you only anger them further.

getting that refund launch week was a good idea-

sucks this hasn't been fixed yet

How were you able to determine the fickle nature of recent buyers?

 

[Knoxcore]

How were you able to determine the fickle nature of recent buyers?

Well it's pretty obvious. There is more crossover PS4 buyers from the previous generation. A significant portion were previously Xbox or Wii owners. They clearly are willing to switch and not loyal to any one brand.

 

[Gen X]

I'm glad that there is no PS+ version because all the people whinging about it would just be whinging about connection issues instead.Could you imagine how much more stress the servers would've been under had the PS+ version dropped already before the problem is solve 100%?

 

[Pound_lb003]

I've played Destiny with some guy (he's an ass) for almost every night since September 9th. I have a distinct feeling most PSN issues are fairly limited. But even so, no one is dismissing them. I imagine it is really annoying.

 

[lowrider007]

Exactly.

People that feel so angered over this delay, go outside on a clear night, using your smart device hit play on this tune, take a deep breath, and look up at the stars, the game will arrive when it arrives.

man october sales of xb1 just went up by 1. this is only the beginning of the great driveclub debacle!!

October NPDs are going to be interesting. How many PS4 players are going to abandon ship and buy Xbox Ones because of this one game having a bad launch? According to an informal survey of gamers named Rogue_element on NeoGAF, that number could be as high as 100%.

Huh? Selling your ps4 cause of the issues with Driveclubs launch is totally regarded. Get out of here.

It will be a great day for America.


Also, I feel like people are counting this "PSN being down" when it's down for scheduled maintenance.

Lucky you ducked because you were so close to getting the joke.

Yep. But for a few hours. It's somewhat annoying but being blown out of proportion when it's once a week if even that.

I certainly am not abandoning PS4 but I do plan on picking up an Xbox One this holiday. Did all of my racing on 360 last gen and FH2 looks great.

 

[IAmRandom31]

Spelunky is a good game, don't get me wrong. It's not really the specific titles that are important here so much as the amount of money they're spending on making the program worthwhile. There's a pretty obvious difference between the value of the service on the 2 systems. Delaying this feels like a giant middle finger in a lot of ways, since it's the first they've sniffed at anything even vaguely resembling a retail title... which was delayed a year... and now who knows when it'll show up.

Upgrading the HDD is scarcely worth it these days if you have a launch unit IMO. You're better off just getting a used PS3 slim unit and transferring as much save data as you can using PS+. You're free to disagree of course.

This kind of talk is too much like that incredibly dumb talk about how indie games are just not good enough because they are not released on a disc and put in a box on a retail shelf.

Who gives a shit if DriveClub was the first retail release for PS+. Its not even the full game just 1 region and 10 cars. People act like it is the full game sometimes.

The offering so far from PS+ have been fucking incredible. Don't Starve? Pix the Cat? Velocity 2x? Spelunky? Fez? Strider? Binding of Isaac next month?

Amazing games. Hell of a lot better than the stuff you are getting from the competitions programs.

 

[Shaneus]

All I know is Forza Horizon was 100% functional on release

lol

Forza Horizon 2 is now available for Xbox One and Xbox 360, and many players are immediately experiencing server issues and a number of bugs that need exterminating.

As is the norm with the majority of new titles, online connectivity and non-local social gaming are a huge part of the Forza product, but threads on the likes of Reddit and NeoGAF are full of confused and/or frustrated racers unable to utilise all the game has to offer, and all that they paid for.

Developers Turn 10 Studios have stated on the game’s forum that they are aware of connectivity issues with servers, and are temporarily disabling some of the game’s features – such as Car Clubs and VIP functionality – to help detect the cause of the problems.

Many social aspects of the game, such as livery sharing and Rivals events, are also performing slowly, and rewards such as loyalty cars and credits are either unredeemable or taking considerably longer than expected to arrive.
