Shorty Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Can you not even have a go with a bike without splashing out the cash? They should put one in the PS+ version as a demo. Eh... there's just twelve 1l supersports? Meh, come back to me when there's some 600cc sport or naked bikes. Can't even find a list of the bikes....

Daft Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I played a bit of this last night. Whereas I feel PGR nails the feel of the cars more and kind of didn't really manage to with the bikes, it's the other way around with Drive Club; I still think the cars need to be a tad more arcadey but the bikes are awesome.

James Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Shirley a season pass 2 will be released to accommodate more bikes and tracks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Hmm, I dunno if I'd agree there. I love the handling of the cars in DriveClub. It has a very steep learning curve and is hard as fuck, though. I spend most of my time crashing into corners, especially if I haven't played in a while. After a few hours, once you become more in tune with each car, it's much more fluid. I'd much rather have new tracks as I don't really give a shit about bikes. This game badly needs new tracks.

somme Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I'll get the bikes soon but I agree we desperately need new tracks/countries! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxigen_Waste Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I'm slightly pissed about this whole bike nonsense... I bought the game+season pass around 2 weeks ago because gaf convinced me any future content would be worth it judging by past history. I get that this is a standalone expansion and not just DLC, but I still feel a bit cheated. -.-' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have Evolution not added loads of patches, updates and free stuff for you? Free bike stuff coming on November 17th I'd hardly feel cheated - I'd feel more cheated paying £100 for Destiny and it's DLC which a lot of people on here have. But hey, what do I know?

About the bold parts... Did you read the part where I've had the game for 2 weeks? How am I supposed to know? I feel cheated because "Season Pass" implies I'll have access to all future content. It's as simple as that. I mean, sure, the full game+season pass was only £16 altogether and I got a great bargain, but Bikes is still being marketed as an expansion and as such should be free for season pass owners... there's been quite a few people posting on gaf complaining that they bought the season pass specifically because they thought they'd have access to bikes and figured they might as well get the season pass for the same price and get more stuff. All in all, I'm fine with it because I will gladly pay the £13, I was just surprised and ethically disappointed in the industry, yet again.

Cookyman Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) *Sighs* ok here we go... About the bold parts... Did you read the part where I've had the game for 2 weeks? How am I supposed to know? Er um - Google perhaps you've heard of it? That's why I assumed you'd know. Also the new patch today is 1.24 that means 23 patches prior to this one. I feel cheated because "Season Pass" implies I'll have access to all future content. It's as simple as that. Season pass implies you are eligible to all future content? It's not "as simple as that" - it's as simple as this (you sure you've not heard of Google? Oh and I've bolded dates so you don't miss them. From Playstation Blog 10th September 2014 We’ll also keep adding more of the world’s best cars to the game and we’ll give you one car every month, as a free series running from October 2014 to June 2015. For those who want even more, we’re making a full calendar of new release DLC that will run deep into 2015. This will let you buy packs of new cars and new campaign tour expansions, to give you more to play for each month. This calendar will start in November 2014 with every pack offering new challenges to play and new trophies for you to earn. Evolution studios actually gave away some of the season pass events free and then added and extended the season pass due to the network issues they had when the game launched. I mean, sure, the full game+season pass was only £16 altogether and I got a great bargain Your not wrong there! but Bikes is still being marketed as an expansion and as such should be free for season pass owners... there's been quite a few people posting on gaf complaining that they bought the season pass specifically because they thought they'd have access to bikes and figured they might as well get the season pass for the same price and get more stuff. Clearly people on Neogaf haven't heard of Google either. All in all, I'm fine with it because I will gladly pay the £13, I was just surprised and ethically disappointed in the industry, yet again. Glad surprised and disappointed that's some major mood swings. Please take a slice (I hope your not ethically disappointed with it).

Hmmm I wonder if @lostmario would be interested in helping organising things since he's had experience of this with Mario Kart? I've give advice but after the Mario Kart League I'm having a little break from organising leagues and such. Changing subject, how much would the season pass cost me for driveclub?

Cookyman Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) from Neogaf DRIVECLUB PS+ Edition stealth update - All post-launch free stuff available now #1 If you have already downloaded the PS+ edition, you can now download all the free content released since launch, including the ignition expansion pack. You don't need the full game to enjoy them. You should be able to go to the store, search DRIVECLUB and filter by "free" to download. I have the the full version, so haven't been able to verify it myself. Can someone confirm this works? To be clear, this is only for the free content and not the paid season pass content. Thanks! EDIT: Seems like it's US store only at the moment? Will update as I get more info. EDIT 2: Ignore the obsolete text on the store. You should still be able to download and play regardless. The change is in effect worldwide decisions........decisions........ Edited November 9, 2015 by Cookyman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookyman Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Free DLC for both cars and bikes went up on Tuesday. The cars dlc is really easy as it's to give non season pass holder a taste of some of the content on offer (easy trophies!) Very little interest in Driveclub Race nights it seems - disappointing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
