I'd rather wait for the PS plus version I was promised as a selling point before I picked up a PS4.
The season pass contains well over double the single player content of the vanilla game.I can't justify spending 37.95 AU on the Season Pass when the base game cost me $18. I haven't done all the Regular, Photo Finish and Ignition Events yet.
Best racing game this Gen so far.
Forza Horizon 2 is better. Driveclub looks good though, I'll give you that.Best racing game this Gen so far.
Save files aren't compatible between physical and digital copies? Really? It's not like that for most games, is it? =/So you want to wait for a digital PS Plus title with limited tracks and cars to later like it and be force to purchase the $50 price-tag on the digital store to keep your saves instead of buying it physical brand new with all the content for $20. Sure good luck with that.
Oh yeah you definitely want those patches. Weather, new courses, cars, replay mode, photo mode, etc. etc. And yes it starts off really easy, but you'll soon find the difficulty ramping up especially after you move up to the faster cars.
Before I recommend this game to anyone, I'd set their expectations properly beforehand. This ain't open world. It's racing from point A to B at the fastest time possible (with or without other cars). Ready to do that thousands times over?

And while the point-to-points are the star of the show, it still has road and track circuits to lap to your heart's content.I have to disagree on your statement there, it's not just racing to reach the fastest time possible, there are drift circuits and time trials for score, it's not just about reaching first place. The game offer various modes and club challenges, you won't be repeating the same thing over and over again.

That's why I didn't want to play too much right now... I know there's lots that I'm missing.
The only things I've noticed that kind of bummed me out were not much sense of speed (though I imagine that has more to do with the cars you're given at the start than 30fps) and I found I was getting rammed/driven into from behind or the side by AI cars and getting penalized for it. That sucks.
I do like the semi-arcadey feel of the cars and it really does look great. Can't wait to see that weather in action.

The first couple of tours don't have weather that's true, but they have released several that do since the weather patch came out.From what I understand there is no weather effects in normal career mode. You have to setup a custom race.

Did they stop putting out new content? The weekly Driveclub XXXXXX Pack threads haven't been popping up as regularly as earlier in the year. Does that mean that in the end they never had a single Japanese car?
I wonder how many of those telling people to cave and pick up the game for $20 realize that it's not $20 outside of the States. Hell, it's still $69.99 in Canada, which with tax gets up to about $80 in Ontario. Although it's currently on sale for $39.99 at EB Games, but that's only until Sunday.

There aren't any weather effects in the early tours.
Once you get past Redline (IIRC) most of the tours feature weather of some kind.
LinkWhere do you see that sale? Online store is sold out. Is that in the shops?
The last racing game I played was Mario Kart on the Wii. I have been following Drive Club threads since before it launched and have been really been thinking about pulling the trigger on it. My wife has been asking me to buy a racing game so I just might pick it up digitally. Can me and my wife race each other split screen? Also can I use my vita to remote connect and allow my wife to use the tv screen.
Why not buy it on Ebay? they ship worldwide and have seen the game go below $30
Edit: Not ebay.ca but just regular ebay. Makes a difference![]()
Plus the import charges and our dollar is in the shitter.Cost of shipping usually kills the deal.

- Could do with cars that are non-European
Racing a supercar in the rain like that on open roads seems down right terrifying. So everyone is good with 30fps racers now with limited car selection and no tuning. That's what's hot in the streets now? For all its faults Forza 5 is still the best current Gen racer to me. Driveclub has its spot and I'm not saying its not a good game. But racing game of the generation? Maybe if you only have a PS4.

Depends upon the game. When it came down to it DC won me over in the handling and raw gameplay department, though its visuals have always impressed.So everyone is good with 30fps racers now with limited car selection and no tuning.
It's $56 on Amazon.ca, best deal I've seen on it since it launched.
Edit: @xaero gravity, that link only brings me to their front page. When I search for it, it shows up as sold out. Huh. Also Walmart and bestbuy websites don't have it at 39 bucks for me.
I don't need every racer to have tuning. I certainly never had that problem with PGR. The game is fun, that's what's important to me.So everyone is good with 30fps racers now with limited car selection and no tuning. That's what's hot in the streets now?

If you can show BB or Walmart the flyer page, they should match the price for you no problem.

You've got to be kidding me...
Good troll post, try again.

Why is this a troll post? I outlined why I disagree that its the best racer this Gen with actual facts.
