You know Swanny thats one of your few posts i actually agree with� 
And I'm not a Racing Fan and to be quite frank and honest i wasn't even interested initially,but when you see the quality of this game then as a Gamer you have to take note.
I don't hate Racing games ,just find them a tad frustrating and a little boring ,no if they were to put machine gun turrets in the front of the cars then thats my type of game . 
But after saying all that my pre/order in and i look forward to Drive Club and promise myself to persevere with the game and try and enjoy those amazing looking graphics and hopefully gameplay to match.
So did even deeper than Jorkila and male the commitment and buy a playstation 4 if the game really interests you.

Does look pretty darn good this was one of the reasons I was tempted to get a PS4 at launch because it was supposed to be a launch title and FREE.
Just goes to prove that both M$ and Sony take the pi$$ out of their customers.

wasted R8.
Well sort of as the guy continues driving after the smash.
I like this part below
"We�ve got fresh gameplay from the finished build of DriveClub showing what it�s like to drive inside an Audi R8 at night, ending with an incredibly realistic crash."
Incredibly realistic crash!!!, Pretty sure if that happened in real life you would not be driving away from it, especially with just a cracked screen, Looks pretty decent though.
|
|
|
|
Yeah they went for crash damage and realistic collisions but didn't want to hamper the player with a car that was a right of,developers think that collision and crashes penalise the player enough without the need for stopping the car completely and re running the race from the start...
Game does look absolutely stunning,obviously I'm not really that excited because driving games,sports games are just not my thing,it's going to require extreme patience and perseverance by myself for me to get any enjoyment out of this game.
But based on just how dam good it looks I owe it to the game and myself to give it a real go .
|
|
|
|
Yeah they really ought to stop feeding us [censored],a free playstation plus game for subscribers,now a year late and a full retail game price,there is a portion of the game for plus subscribers but I'm betting it's a minute fragment of the game and will be full of ....buy the full game adds everywhere you look.
|
|
|
|
The problem I find with racing games when damage isn't on is that idiots online just use your car for a braking point instead and send the persons car flying and the guy who did it then just goes round the corner as if nowt happened.
As you said though it's got to be worth a go especially as part of it is free to have a go of, As I said before it's just a shame they went back on what they said.

The crash was very realistic. I can't wait to start rolling expensive motors.

Yeah its hard driving around in real life in a Smart Car Aint it

Notice on your posting times mate by your threads your clock is an hour ahead of the usual time,your last post said something like 1.13 when its 12.13am.
I know that because i replied and it was 12.24 when i did.?

Easy mistake to make mate, but it was 12:01 and 13 seconds (00.01:13).

It's gonna be a good laugh. We will avoid Giraffes (correct) observation however, by implementing operation sandwich on any rammers. Would you prefer to be in front or behind? 
Pity Frag's bottled it.

If i sing the games praises i will easily persuade him to get it mate.

I hope so. It could be a good laugh.

Looks like a lot of effort has gone into this.
Let's hope it lives up to the high expectations because I'm even more hyped for this now based on its looks alone.....
Could this be the sleeper hit of the year.....Will I like it ?....Jorkila don't answer

I shall post reviews when I find them. .
Reviews are again all over the place from amazing to good to barring on average with Gamespot and Pologon giving the game the usual low review scores and Ign giving it a 7.9.
Some will claim it doesn't matter about review scores but it's up to the individual,I say on most occasions when you get a mixed bag of reviews it's very doubtful that game will live up to your expectations .
Game looks drop dead gorgeous and even with some lower than I expected reviews I'm not cancelling my order and going for the free downgraded playstation plus version.
To be honest I'm getting a little fed up with gaming journalism and the hype that accompanies them,personally I think this has been a very poor year for quality games and all I need come the weekend is some real negative The Evil Within reviews and that will about rap it up for this years games ....Seems only Far Cry 4 can be the saving grace as I'm sure Advanced Warfare will get the usual COD stick and be ripped to shreds once that embargo has lifted.

Seems FH on Xbox One is the better game having looked and read about 10 game reviews of Drive Club,all those so called drop dead gorgeous visuals don't seem to cut it ,with some reviews saying there is a downgrade in the visual department.
Normally I would have still bought this but I am getting burnt way to often and as soon as these reviews where out live I had read enough to make up my mind.....Quick....Cancel Pre/ order and just check out the Demo on Friday instead and save myself £47 smackers

DriveClub - the Digital Foundry verdict.
There was a lot pressure on Evolution Studios to deliver a state-of-the-art flagship title that defined the PS4's next-generation credentials - a racing game that blurs the line between arcade and simulation while boasting the latest graphical features only possible on higher-end hardware.
Despite some teething problems earlier in development, this is a feat that DriveClub manages to accomplish. Indeed, the game has benefitted from a remarkable makeover: from scrappy contender to visually polished technological showcase for PlayStation 4 hardware. The attention to detail and complex effects work is undeniably superb, while the handling model delivers an experience to suit both casual players and the more hardcore driving fans looking for something different from the likes of Gran Turismo or Forza Motorsport.
For all its rendering accomplishments, DriveClub is actually best viewed more as an evolution of an old-school arcade racing game, as opposed to a state-of-the-art simulation. In gameplay terms, the lack of open world exploration and use of fixed tracks may seem a little behind the times, but the use of carefully designed point-to-point routes and traditional tracks suit the social aspect of the game, which revolves around challenging other players while winning events to increase status for yourself and your club.
In that sense, DriveClub comes across as an updated take on the classic arcade racer, played out at a global level, with both competitive and collaborative gameplay at the very heart of the experience. The handling model makes the game easy to pick up and play, while the relentless AI on higher difficulty settings keeps single-player races interesting as you constantly battle to stay in first place.
Of course, while the game is finally on retail shelves this week, development of DriveClub is an on-going process, and we are promised a range of features in the coming months via post-launch updates. The first of these adds dynamic weather to the game, adding another layer of uncertainty to driving conditions while no doubt showcasing even more of Evolution's tech - something we'll take a look at in the near future. Photo and replay modes are also on their way.
It's fair to say that we had more fun with the game than Mike did in the Eurogamer review, but there are areas where we agree that the game falls a little short: the penalties and driving restrictions can sap the fun out of the most intense moments, and perhaps there is a lack of soul and charisma at the heart of the game. But for us, the combination of the arcade-style handing and the often beautiful visuals delivers an experience well worth checking out.

Hi Everyone,
With DRIVECLUB, we are dedicated to delivering a dynamic and socially connected racing game that everyone can enjoy, and along the way we're facing new challenges which we haven�t encountered as a development team before. We are seeing a lot of activity and new social behaviours right now, but unfortunately this is pushing the servers to their absolute limits.
We are sorry if you are having a hard time getting online as we know many of you are. Please be aware that the game will automatically keep trying to connect you. Once you're online, you should have no further problems during your session.
Everyone at the studio is now working hard to get new updates ready for the game servers to improve connectivity. We will be rolling out these updates day by day and will keep you informed.
In order to help all DRIVECLUB players who have the game already, we're temporarily holding back the PS Plus Edition and the My DRIVECLUB app to ease the load and traffic to the servers. This should give players a better chance of connecting to the game servers and, once the servers are operating well, we�ll be sure to let you know when the PS Plus Edition and My DRIVECLUB app will be available to download.
To our PS Plus fans, we're sorry you're having to wait longer to play, but we want to ensure that when you come on board, you get the best experience possible. Rest assured, if you've pre-ordered the full game upgrade from the PS Plus Edition, you will still get the full version of DRIVECLUB digitally, and if you can't get online you'll be able to get started offline like everybody else with single player mode as you start your DRIVECLUB tour. You�ll still be able to earn fame, unlock cars and get to grips with all of the options for playing and creating your own events and challenges - and everything you do will be synchronised with the servers when you do get connected, so you can set-up a bunch of challenges to send out to your friends as soon as you are able to join each other online.
We fully appreciate how frustrating this is for everyone. We want you to get online with your club because racing, challenging and having fun together is what the game is all about. We know that racing with your friends online is what you�ve been waiting for and we are doing everything we can to deliver that experience to you as soon as possible.
Sorry again for the difficult start. We�ll keep you regularly updated on our progress as we work round the clock to improve connectivity. We want everyone to know what's happening so please tag your DRIVECLUB friends or SHARE this message to let them know.
- Rushy

Looks amazing

Fair dinkum.
You need to race in single player to gain fame and unlock all the cars. If you don't the MP will let you use the required vehicle without issue, but you won't earn fame from it. So it's best to play for a few days in single player first I reckon.
Then I can work out whether it's worth getting a decent wheel set like the T300 or T500, with proper force feed back and progressive brake pedals. 
|
|
|
Looks amazing I'll give you an honest opinion tomorrow night hopefully. Then you might have to go new/current/now gen.
|
|
|
|
Blimey those T500's aren't cheap
Look good though
|
|
|
|
Looking for a second hand set up.
|
|
|
Spent two or three hours on DriveClub tonight. It looks amazing, end of.
As for the bad reviews, I suspect they were contrived deliberately. The general discontent appears to centre around poor AI, being rammed off the road and being punished for leaving the track or colliding with other cars.
Well what they don't tell you is that it doesn't affect the results at all, only your level up score and that in itself is really smart. As you play the game you have a score at the top of the screen. This goes up for everything you do well (drifting, high speed, cornering accuracy. overtaking etc.) and down for everything you don't do well (bumping other vehicles too heavily, bumping the scenery to hard). You only get penalised for cutting corners too heavily on the track races (as you would in real life). So if you drive like a dick, you will level up really slowly. If you don't drive like a dick you can finish 10th every race and still level up and unlock cars really quickly. It does everything they said it would do to appease casual gamers.
But here's the really unjust thing about the reviews. If you learn how to balance brake and accelorator and most importantly when to turn in, you won't get rammed, bumped or penalised. It is the perfect blend of simulation and arcade in my opinion. Again, as the developers proclaimed it would be.
The comments about poor AI are also utter nonsense and are based around being "rammed" and "shunted". As I just explained, it's deliberate not poor AI. If for example you ram them, they sometimes retaliate if you don't put clear air between yoursf and them. And the clever thing about the penalty system, is that when you have rammed somebody too hard or cut a corner by too much, the penalty flashes on the screen and your engine sounds like it is misfiring for 2-3 seconds. This is enough to let the effected player take his place back. But if he is right up your jacksie when it misfires, he will sometimes shunt you from behind. Tough luck, what goes around comes around! It is also clever in that you are penalised for being hit by other cars if you are deemed to be "all over the show". If you swerve across the track so that hitting you is unavoidable, you get penalised, not the person you cut up. Now I will admit that every so often you do feel like you didn't cut the corner very much and still got penalised, but it seems to depend on whether or not you gain any track advantage from your little excursion. But remember, all of this has very little effect on your race, only the speed on which you level up
The AI itself is superb and better than in any other racing game I have ever played. I have found myself preferring the circuits, as the racing is like high adrenaline touring car or club racing. If you've ever played TOCA Touring Cars and enjoyed the pack racing, this blows it out of the water with physics and visuals. But what it really needs is playing with friends, something none of the reviewers (nor me until the UK servers are up and running, tomorrow hopefully) can comment on.
I'm not comparing with Forza or anything else, but the decision to go with huge texture detail was the right one. It of course isn't photo realistic. But it is so well done, that when you are immersed in the race, every now and then you could be forgiven for feeling like you rely are at Knockhill.
DriveClub has balanced sim and arcade beautifully in my opinion and I reckon a dcent wheel and pedals is the least the game deserves. Check out the free version when it arrives.

So you don't like it then

Is it better than Mario Kart and as realistic ......that's my question ?

Anyway i decided to ignore the average reviews and join Nelly in the world of Drive Club and I'm telling you now its one of the greatest looking Driving games i have ever played.
The game is pure class and now comparing it along side Forza Horizons which i also think is top notch Drive Club in my eyes is the clear winner.
Yes there are severe server issues and this is not acceptable for a online game that is basically dependant on it,Forza runs flawlessly online and like i said to Nelly last night the Xbox Live service is way superior and Sony really need to address this and spend some of all these playstation plus subscriptions they are now recouping.
The graphics in the game are mind blowing,the way it handles just as good,the AI are extremely aggressive and fast but its a really good challenge,oh and personally i think the handling is spot on.
I was reading a report regarding the negativity surrounding Drive Club with the Guy saying that the reviews have been extremely unfair for a online game with severe server issues��.And you know what ? I think he is right because this game is spectacular and i played it last night for about 4 hours and i enjoyed every minute of it even though i could not connect to the online servers until about 1am when a message came on screen saying�.Online servers now up and running.
So on this occasion I'm so glad i ignored the negativity surrounding Drive Club because its a fantastic game and doesn't deserve the negativity surrounding it which is really not warranted .

Buy the one with DriveClub instead. Do it now...
|
|
|
why is it £29.99 or something
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Some very valid points there I'm guessing but reading some of the comments it hammers home the fact that the game is incomplete at present.
Once everything is up and running it will hopefully make for a great game but the reviewers can hardly be held responsible for the game lacking the features that were supposed to be the main selling points!!
|
|
|
But they can be held entirely responsible for saying it has poor AI, boring races and isn't as visually impressive as expected. The racing and AI are awful if you were expecting Mario Karts. If you wanted realism you got exactly what you had hoped for. As for the visual criticisms....well, children will be children at the end of the day.
When it gets online proper we will find out if it is boring or easily forgotten from a social standpoint. It may well get old quickly, it may not. But from a technical standpoint the game is blooming marvellous, end of discussion. Any professional gaming reviewer would know that. Click baiters obviously not.
Anyway, you interested in Project Cars in November Jorky? I suspect they will not be accused of failing to reinvent the wheel! I fancy it just for the go karting vids I've seen. It will probably be a bit too "sim" for me, but unlike Gran Turismo you don't have to unlock any of the cars so there should be some fun to be had there racing privately with some mates.
|
|
|
|
A1 are just really hard and unforgiving and it makes for some realistic racing,I'm extremely impressed and absolutely gobsmacked how this game got negative and average reviews based on the 3 hours i spent with it Friday evening.
But Jorkila you have a valid point and its a point that i have made about this game been reliable for online connection and something that its had major problems with.
Personally the game is already 12 months late coming to the table,and these server issues should not have happened and there are no excuses who's ever fault it is,be it evolution studio or Sony one or both need to get there act together because this seems to be a continuing theme releasing games in a poor state,take Battlefield for instance and the problems that continued to have even 12 months later.
When a Game is dependent on online functionality then that part of it must be tested and work day 1 no excuses,the xbox live service works flawlessly and Forza doesn't have any online issues so Sony myst stop feeding us drip fed [censored] excuses and sort it out.
When it came online after a complete evening of been offline last night it was good to see,but it was late i never really tested it and still some of the world time trial scoreboards and other stuff still failed to load and said server issues so its far from fixed and until i see it running totally smooth as silk very hard to judge.
But on single player alone its fantastic,given that this is sold to us as a online game it makes you wonder how even more appealing this game may be when it's functioning correctly.
|
|
|
Yeah Haters just love to hate Nelly and I certainly aint one of those matey!!
I still suspect that I'll get myself a PS4 in the not so distant future the trouble is I have so much going on at the minute along with the fact that I'm thoroughly enjoying the Xbone and the absolute glut of games at the moment I'm not sure when it'll be!!
Project cars does look my cup of tea but again I'm not sure I'll be picking it up just yet seeing as I don't seem to be getting around to completing anything I own lately lol
As for sony's server issues it's something that could be excused on last gen being a free offering but there's just no excuse this time round and something that does put me off owning the console but only ever so slightly
|
|
|
Saying that if Project Cars was cross platform I would pick it up in a heart beat
They could even make it interesting if they were to make our times cross platform!!!
|
|
|
Yeah I can not defend Sony or publishers for releasing full retail priced games with poor online network issues.....
In fact if this continues I may take another route and buy any online multiplayer multi platform games for Xbox One starting with Cod Advanced warfighter and even the Mighty Far Cry 4.
I don't want to do this as my few mates both have playstation 4s with one of those been Nelly on here.
But I could possibly persuade him to Downgrade to a Xbox One Kila I'm only pulling your leg there is much to like about the Xbox One at present and I much prefer there menu layout and online service.
My only gripe is it struggling with 1080p games which shouldn't be happening

I know you're not a hater mate! Me and old man time are as annoyed as anyone and it still hadn't come back online as of 3'o clock this afternoon, so nobody is very happy. And it's not just DriveClub. The PSN has been behaving particularly oddly for weeks now, so somebody high up needs a reality check. It's no longer a free service!
But review sites are getting more and more amateurish by the day. They really need to stop going on about "bringing something new" with games, particularly in the racing genre. You can't redefine track racers, just refine them overall and DC has most certainly done that
As for project cars, it has all the real circuits and I'm up for that (especially if I do end up getting a decent wheel and pedal set. I don't really have the patience for sim racing proper, but as all of the cars are unlocked from day one you get to test which ones you get on with and stick to those. I was a massive touring car fan back in the days when I got time to myself. Project cars looks like it could be really good in that respect and I'm not too bothered about doing 200mph in Paganinis etc.
A bit of 100mph argey bargey is more my bag.

Playstation network went offline today for what they are saying is unscheduled maintenance to the network in preparation for Firmware update 2.0.
It's just totally unacceptable and a bit of a disgrace if you ask me been like you said no longer the free service it used to be.
If you read my earlier post I said I was seriously considering multi platform games in future getting them for Xbox one ,only the likes of the fact I enjoy are chapitty chats and games with you stops me doing this.
But I seriously have to look at this situation because if anything this network is getting worse when it should be competing with xbox live and even bettering there service.
Quite appalling really when one of there biggest exclusive games of the year can not function correctly because of these online issues....
Personally this is not getting Sony any brownie points and only negativity and frustration and I bet microsoft are gently rubbing there hands together after all there horrible troubles in the past.
Problem is with Sony ,they have stood still since there console reveal and Micrisoft poor showing,however Microsoft are now realising there grave mistakes and are making small impacts on the Sony sales and things are becoming a little more even.
I do not want one of my most anticipated games of the year Far Cry 4 ruined because of Sony network,and Nelly you seriously may have to consider a Xbox One mate because I'm telling you now having used both services and had all the consoles the Xbox Live service is on another level compared to Sonys .

Excellent video mate, nice find.
But unbelievably there are still people in the comments calling it a conga line, so no driving ability AND no idea of real life race behaviour. :/
|
|
|
|
Was playing it last night and its extremely tough but also extremely satisfying once you have mastered it,personally i think the handling and driving mechanics are spot on and the more i play the more i love it.
Online was of yet again in my brief hour session then just before i finished the online mode came back on flashed up with a green message across the screen.
Trouble is when i clicked on multiplayer nothing really happens and the only option is to invite your friend,and if they are not online there is nothing you can do with the mode.
A lot of the tables in the online side failed to load so all is not working correctly and only snippets of the online mode function from time to time and its a long way from a stable online mode.
We need to check out the modes in the online Nelly when your available hopefully later this evening then text me.

Absolutely so in love with this game giving it has major network issues,when they fix that and add the changeable weather conditions it can only be even more spectacular .

Have to agree, I had a go of this over my mates house and it was a decent game but due to network issues etc it was single player only.
As we've both mentioned before when it was free Sony had an excuse to have a poor online service, Now they charge as well they have no excuse, M$ is light years ahead of Sony in the Live/PSN department.
|
|

Yes Microsofts service is a cut above the Sony network and i have already started thinking should i really be buying the likes of online based games like Far Cry 4 and Cod Advanced Warfare for the playstation 4 and should i really be buying it for the more stable service that is Xbox Live

Well stop thinking about it man! Pull yourself together.

Going to play devils advocate here , Xbox live has not been without issues either , its not all fluffy white clouds and rainbows , as in , i have been having constant problems pulling up my friends list as have many others , and the controler crashing issue is also a new one since the last update .
it just seems PSN has had bigger issues with its online service as it has in the past and its a lot slower at bringing out updates and new features which is how it has always been .
And that has always been my main reason for me , going Xbone over PS4 in the first place .
I had a PS3 and a Xbox 360 and i know both had strengths and weaknesses and xbox live was always a Xbox 360 strength .
Drive club looks to serious for me but does look gorgeous , im a arcade racer , no place for realism with my driving style .

The Friends issue although annoying is easily fixed by a dash refresh (LT + RT + Y) , That's slightly less than not being able to play a game online.
( I actually quite often get an almost a blank dashboard screen up on my XB1 on startup (pins/friends etc not there and it says it could be our problem (as in M$), Playing games online etc is fine and Going into the store seems to fix this and bring all the dash back so it seems to be some sort of server issue to begin with, Never have any issues playing online though(well apart from EA servers crashing etc every now and again).

Nope its properly down at the moment and even saying so on the status page but as you said i can still play online , just not with friends .

Rumbled.

We have another member already. And when he finally stops swearing at Evolution, he might turn out to be a decent driver!
Now we just need to work on frag?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A fair appraisal I reckon.
|
|
|
|
That was good. I actually read it all
|
|
|
And as if to drive home the point (excuse the pun) the update patch will now now not download, the online with other games isn't working and no friends are visible online either.
I suspect an all out collapse will be next.
|
|
|
|
Yeah they're reporting on GAF that PlaystationNotwork is down for a lot of people!!
|
|
|
It's crazy. It was alright up until the point of that DDOS attack. It's been useless ever since.
|
|
|
That was good. I actually read it all
Don't you mean your Mrs Read it for you There was a lot of text in there and words with more than 4 letters and very few pictures
|
|
|
Yeah mentioned this in another thread when trying to play the last of us this evening��Seriously have you ever known this network to be so bad.
Jorkila����.Stop laughing��.. i can here you from here
|
|
|
|
Timey says Buy a Xbox One �..At least you will be able to play and connect to the online service 99.9% of the time,unlike 50/50 with the Playstation network the last 3 months .
|
|
|
Says the man who can't spell 
|
|
|
You see i get a lot of typo in my posts because they are much much longer than one word responses ,hence the MisCakes .
|
|
|
No worries it's fun trying to understand what you're saying
|
|
|
|
Yeah i have problems myself when i read them back i can see what i have done and i agree i do tend to word things wrongly and some of the stuff don't make much sense.
Just looked this morning at my Sony Network post and had to edit it again,problem is i type to fast and it doesn't always correct or pick the right word at times .
Oh well i can always stop posting ?
|
|
|
Have done some autocorrect for you
Yes, I have problems myself when I read them back. I can see my errors and I agree I do tend to word things incorrectly and some of the prose doesn't make much sense.
Just looked this morning at my Sony Network post and had to edit it again, the problem is I type too fast and it doesn't always correct, or pick the right word, at times.

|
|

Yeah i need to set up some spell checker and correct wording program on here it does normally put the right word in but other times comes up with words that make little to no sense.
Any suggestions? I'm using a Apple iMac .
|
|
|
Alas, I have found no software that does it as well as the human brain. MS Word is actually not bad at highlighting errors but generally can't autocorrect them to the most advantageous alternative.
The most efficacious solution would be for you to hire a proof reader/editor to review all your posts before you submit them

Getting there slowly.
Private lobby's before crimbo would be nice, not holding my breath though.
|
|
|
And I've just read this (rumour obviously):
Sony is giving Injustice and Infamous: First Light to PS+ subscribers to apologize for the Driveclub PS+ delay.
But if true, not bad recompense Swanny? First Light is a standalone game, not DLC for the original.
|
|
|
Nice will look forward to them
|
|
|
|
Hmmm....Still not holding lobby's open for more than two races. Mind boggling really. When the private lobby's arrive it will be much better.
Patience Timothy.

If you take it to Game and give it to them plus £5 they may consider taking it of your hands if you ask nicely 
|

Just borrowed it from a mate, let's see if Timey was right or not!!
At least I'll have something to play seeing as Timeys Far Cry 4 hasn't arrived 😔
|
|
|
The game looks drop dead gorgeous Jorkila and there is no denying that......But that's where my praise ends unfortunaltly due to the disastrous online issues that have plagued this game even 4 weeks later......To little to late unfortunaltly and the wise men before us have dumped it......

The only consolation regarding far cry 4 not turning up is the fact I couldn't play co/op this evening anyway because the network as I have stated is down for yet another session of so called Maintenance yet again....
I wouldn't mind if they addressed the many simple issues,like been able to send a message to someone and not spend 60 seconds looking at a spinning symbol and then when it's actually sent it doesn't say .....sent 7 minutes ago....

What it deserves is a large Lump Hammer and a developer that needs hammering into oblivion with nobody ever trusting them ever again. .
You can not expect people to pay £50 for a completely broken game,especially with all the hype and shallow promises.
To be honest they should have a law set in place that entitles the buyer to return any broken game that doesn't function.
I mean if i buy any electrical appliance and it doesn't work or has intermittent issues then i return it to currys and get my money back,same should happen with games�

Now I love my driving games and this isn't a bad game to play but believe me when I say that it's certainly no Forza beater!!
How frustratingly aggressive are the AI in this too, the main gripe being they smash into when beside or behind you then if you're behind long enough they slow right down so you can catch up for them to smash into you again!!!
Still enjoying it though lol
|
|
|
Yeah fancy getting penalised for some Ai driver smashing into the back of you,its even worse online when real drivers do the same and deliberately drive you of the road��.How is that possibly a fair game .
The Crew drops early December and seriously i need to steer well clear of this also,regardless of who made it.
|
|
|
|
I've played the beta of that mate and I wouldn't touch it with a six foot barge pole!!
|
|
|
|
Yeah it doesn't sound to appealing to me mate,besides its a driving game and i don't like them��..Tell a lie,i like stupid driving games like Crazy Taxi on the Dreamcast.
|
|
|
|
Trying my hardest to give this a game a chance!!
I have a couple gripes besides the online issues of this game
1.The ai are ridiculously over competitive and will crash into you at every opportunity!
2.The physics, this game is supposed to be a Forza beater, and that it is not even close where it come to the driving feel!!
Now the good bit- I tried the multi-player out and what a blast I had!! Obviously you still get the tools trying to take you out but at least if they're hitting you on purpose they're getting penalties for it, which is better than the stupid ai hitting you on purpose and getting no penalties for it!!
Unfortunately this only lasted for 3 races and I lost connection to the lobby, but it does give me hope that this game is still fixable and worth playing!!
|
|
|
Not in my book ��..Its long gone to the land of bargain bin basement in Game shops,saying that Game are probably selling my second hand copy for £44 or something ridiculous.
Never know the village idiot might pop in and snatch it of there hands.

You be better of joining Jackobs Club mate than oooosh Racing me and Swanny got sacked but he had to pay us severance pay and pleaded for me and Swanny to stay,but me and Swanny saw the light sweet Jesus .....Halayula my lord "........TRADED.......

I sent a request when I first started playing mate but I don't think you've been on since!
|
|
|
Ahh! Will look tomorrow mate.
|
|
|
There's a couple free DLC packs out now!!
Free is always good
|
|
|
Wouldn't make any difference if they gave the game away for free to be honest,damage is done people have moved on and want stable online games not Drive Club Fiasco .

Lets face it Timey, if Driveclub hadn't had online issues you would've traded it by now because you just don't do driving games!!!
How long did you play Horizon 2 for matey and that is a stunning game with great online stability
I admit that it's not a patch on the Forza games but then it's also a completely different style of racer really, if they dumbed down the AI a little this would then be a very good game!!
Been online a couple times now and it was great fun but they still need to fix the online side as both time I only manage 3 then 2 races before losing connection to the lobby
|
|
|
Yeah generally i don't do driving games unless there funny and amusing like the old dreamcast Crazy Taxi.
I see the Crew beta is on the playstation 4 store and another game that doesn't interest me,i really do not know when i will ever take the wrapper of Dragon Age Inquisition or GTA5 I'm so tied up with the world of far cry 4 as there is so much to do and see.
I have just completed an Arena challenge and this has now opened even more of the game with battle challenges,weapons ,etc etc ,then you have massive user generated maps to try and post scores on and the fantastic co/op when i find a decent player to play with Lol.
Nelly and Swanny need not apply Nelly because he likes collecting Elephant Dung and Swanny as he wants to find a traitor and plough a field and plant some Potatooooooooooooooooooes�.

Forza seriously��..About 30 mins and like you say they are not for me.

There's an update coming (apparently) to tone down the AI aggression.
I'll accept your club membership tonight mate, just as soon as you've paypalled the membership fee. A monkey should do it I reckon. It 's a very exclusive club that not many get to join you know!
To be more accurate, most of them leave.....

I very much doubt you be interested in Drive Club when you are having such a riot in Far Cry 4.
Swanny and Nelly ��.Morecambe and wise ��..Timey��Rambo

Driveclub wet and dry...
Notice the lack of penalties or over aggressive AI (other than for my blatant T- boning). It certainly seems like they've fixed it. Challenges have appeared now too.
To be fair they can fix if as much as they like and I still won't be able to stop the Koenigsegg Agera R quickly enough.
|
|
|
That must be the censored version minus the Nelster swearing
|
|
|
The weather update has breathed life into what I will say is quite a lifeless game without the rain unfortunately
Tried messaging you yesterday to say get your bum on and try the new update out but PSN messaging is still as bad as always and failed 3 times so gave up!!
Online the game still has it's issues but they're getting there and Driveclub is slowly becoming the game that Evolution first envisaged!!
|
|
|

My copy more than likely changed hands about 1000 times ".....Sorry they had there chance and blew it.....BIGTIME....

I have to say the rain effect looks very good, Especially when it's being pushed up the windscreen.
|
|

The funny thing is, it's caught between a sim and an arcade thrashabout. I know that was their vision, but it doesn't sit too well with me. The super and hyper cars (in fact to be fair, almost everything above the hot hatches) are particularly realistic to drive and require a lot of practice to master. Combined with people thrashing about treating it like it's a skid pan simulator, it becomes difficult to learn to race them competitively. They have promised private lobbies, that is when it will really become playable in my eyes. Until then I'll treat it as a thrashabout like all the other muppets.
Will definitely have to have a few races over crimbo Jorky, if you're about. Still haven't met up with Rebel yet. He's becoming somewhat of an enigma at oooosh racing. Adding tonnes of points to the club but never appearing to be online.
I don't know if he's one of the original Lost Boys or just nocturnal .

So had a lot of fun with me knew best mate Jorky last night. He's a pretty awesome driver, a league above me anyway and at least three above Timey and Swanny, (a.k.a The Deserters). He doesn't use his teammates as a handbrake either, unlike some club members who will remain nameless. I reckon he won 75% of the races and didn't drop out of the top three once..
The sooner the private lobbies arrive the better, then all the T- boners will only have themselves to play with.
|
|
|
So that's 2 in the club....yourself and Jorkila......a whoopee [censored] Dooooooooo
I had to leave the club,you were given 2 weeks notice,Swanny wanted some help on his Farm and we had to get up really early as those Pigs,Cattle,Sheep needed feeding and we had lots of fields to sow .....
|
|

Ah cheers mate I'm touched, in fact I'm still sore (the things you have to do to be in this exclusive club)
On a serious note I'm sure Wednesday night was a fluke or beginners luck and not skill lol!!

Yeah it's so Exclusive there are only to dumb bells in it the wiser amongst us like Timey and Swanny saw it for what it was....A Epic Disaster and a frustrating one at that,they may well have fixed a lot of it but I ain't got the time patience to put up with any developer or publisher that sells TAT....

No mate, you've definitely got the skills to pay the bills.
I tried your challenge yesterday but only got to have two goes at it, since I didn't check it until there was only about half an hour until it expired. It is a difficult track that you need to learn a little, one wheel wrong and you're all over the place. That said, I was twenty odd seconds off your pace and doubt I could get closer than ten even with practice.
We are definitely not worthy my stig like friend.

I like it so much I actually paid for DLC yesterday.
Got me a McClaren F1 LM.....oooosh baby!
Now just hoping santa brings me a Thrustmaster T300RS for crimbo.

Give it 2 months and that contraption will be up the corner of the garage

Well mate based on the state of the game on release I'm surprised you actually are willing to give them more money,if anything every bit of future downloadable content should have been free and a thank you and apology to those that bought a broken unfinished ,untested product...
|
|
|
To be fair, it was always planned to have free tracks and cars every month and they've started doing that now. I just wanted the McClaren else I wouldn't have bothered paying for it.
Not because I hold a grudge though, just because you get free stuff each month anyway.
