Choze Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) Cheesy ad but it works. I can't wait for this! : peace: Just showing a ton of ingame footage would have been better. Looking forward though. Social components are quite good. I wonder if we will create a club? Went for the plus edition upgrade pre order. Cheapest disk option was £44(amazon pre order). Game have the special edition for £55 but the extras dont seem worth it as all the cars can be unlocked in game. Edited October 2, 2014 by Choze
Fierce_LiNk Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 I've preordered the PS+ digital edition of this game. Can't wait. 35 quid for a full digital game is a bit of a steal really. Ahhhhhhhh, hope I don't regret it. I want to say "wow".
Cookyman Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) Nice one! So that's another one of us getting the full retail version. So are we gonna manage to get six players for our club who will play regularly. The embargo lifts on Monday so expect reviews then. If I'm loving the game I'll be getting the season pass too as its excellent value for money Edited October 3, 2014 by Cookyman
drahkon Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 So that's another one of us getting the full retail version. So are we gonna manage to get six players for our club who will play regularly. Have it pre-ordered since months, MONTHS I tell 'ya. But won't be able to play next week
Choze Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Have it pre-ordered since months, MONTHS I tell 'ya. But won't be able to play next week Howcomes? I wonder what the player limit is for clubs? I cant recall from the beta.
drahkon Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Howcomes? First week of the semester and I'm responsible for a couple of freshmen. Many appointments and parties are planned, so no time for other stuff.
bryanee Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Howcomes? I wonder what the player limit is for clubs? I cant recall from the beta. I think its 6 in a club.

khilafah Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) when does the NA version go up for preload? is it today? edit.. awesome! up for preload now so downloading. Edited October 5, 2014 by khilafah
Jimbob Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 I've got a retail version pre-ordered, and have had it done since June/July last year. If there is room in the club, count me in as i'll be playing. Depending on how the game plays once i have it (the demo was very good i might add), i'll probably snag the Season pass as well.
Ganepark32 Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Think I'm currently gonna try out the version that comes free on PS+ to see how this plays before making a judgment call on whether to get it or not. Should give me enough of an idea of whether it's worth upgrading to the full version after that. Seems to share some ideas with the likes of PGR so if it plays at all like that, then I'm more than in. Hoping it's more than just a looker and has the substance to go with it. We shall see anyway.

Why would you buy the retail version? Get the digital upgrade for £35 and save yourself a tenner.
Jimbob Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Why would you buy the retail version? Get the digital upgrade for £35 and save yourself a tenner. I'm getting it for £35 as well. GAME forgot to clear some pre-orders i had collected. I can't remember which games they were for, but it's happened before when i bought inFamous and got the edition with the beanie for cheaper, so i'm putting the deposits towards the cost. Still a little cheaper, which for a boxed retail edition is pretty good going. Anyone know how this club thing works?

More info here. And this video will just make you cream your pants. I did not know about this! Pretty cool eh? Edited October 6, 2014 by Cookyman Automerged Doublepost
dwarf Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Haha, that customization is pathetic. The game itself looks intense.
Choze Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 There isnt any customisation. You can only select some colours and unlock some fixed decal designs. I dont think your car can even be plain if you wanted. :p Nice to see you read other peoples posts. I was hoping it was more than 6...
bryanee Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 This games gonna be rubbish isn't it Impressions from people who are playing it have been quite positive.
Cookyman Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Haha, that customization is pathetic. The game itself looks intense. Considering it's for a figure you'll hardly notice in the car it's far better than Gran Turismo's where you could adjust the colour of your stig a likes helmet. The games does indeed look intense. There isnt any customisation. You can only select some colours and unlock some fixed decal designs. I dont think your car can even be plain if you wanted. :p You play for liveries - it's a racing game you don't expect to drive around in a shit brown Ford Escort. I was hoping it was more than 6... Inches? This games gonna be rubbish isn't it Yup it's gonna be terrible. Not even worth downloading even thought it's free. But seriously Driveclub is still my most anticipated game this year.
James Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Don't get me wrong, I want it to be good, but it's gonna be Infamous all over again...good but not amazeballs.
liger05 Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Looking forward to playing this tonight. Shame about 30fps but should be fun.
CoolFunkMan Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Boxart typo.... Haha!! This game does look great, although lacking in monies, so I'll be trying the PS+ version first.
liger05 Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Some pretty average reviews for the game. I have the game as pre-ordered from PSN but am disappointed that a game which was due out nearly a year ago hasn’t managed to hit the heights I thought it would. FH2 by all accounts is amazing and looks like this isn't all that. The Sony exclusives aint really doing much on the PS4 so far.
dwarf Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Eurogamer 6/10 'The PS4's DriveClub barely manages to raise itself beyond mere competence.' http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-10-07-driveclub-review Ooh dear. The actual handling looks a bit Dirt-like to me in the way that it isn't super precise and is quite forgiving, which means you don't really feel like you improve as you progress through the game. I'm interested to see what you guys make of it.
