I've played it and while it is quite stunning to look at (some decent car deformation) it is a driving game and therefore was a bit dull for me.

So if you like to go VROOM-VROOM in your own home then you might like this VROOM-VROOM.

Bought this last night as I couldn't wait for the stupid free version to be released. Now I feel stupid and I want my money back. If you enjoying racing games, don't buy this game.

Reminds me of a poor Need for Speed.

Delayed 'indefinitely' for PS+ and still lots of work going on trying to make it playable for those who purchased

From their facebook page

Quote:
Message from Shuhei Yoshida - President of World Wide Studios

Hi everyone,

I wanted to provide you with the latest update on DRIVECLUB. Unfortunately, the road to launch has been a little rocky, and we are truly sorry that so many of you have not been able to enjoy everything that we had hoped DRIVECLUB would deliver.
We have been listening to your feedback and realize that patience understandably is running out. Evo is working around the clock to close the gap, and we have deployed additional engineering resources to help resolve the remaining issues as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the time frames required to roll out the fully connected experience will be longer than anticipated and we do not have an exact time frame for when they will be resolved. We will continue to update you on progress and you can find the latest info on the DRIVECLUB Facebook page.
We are also very conscious that we have disappointed so many of you who were looking forward to playing the promised PS Plus Edition. Our first priority is to provide you with the best possible experience while playing DRIVECLUB. With the high volume of new players and additional server load the PS Plus Edition is anticipated to bring, we are currently not confident that we can guarantee the best online experience. Until we can ensure that everyone can enjoy the full social connected online experience, we will be postponing the release of the PS Plus Edition until further notice.
On behalf of WWS we are enormously grateful for your patience and we thank you for the continued support and encouragement. Again, we sincerely apologize for the delay. We are committed to giving you the best racing experience on PS4 – it’s taking a little longer than we hoped.

Thanks,

Shu

Yep, I really like the way it plays, but trying to get online is a waste of time and energy.

Have to say after reading this (and some of the comments):

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digit ... me-changer

I'm very tempted to give this game a whirl. Anyone else got it?

Nope, but I will probably pick it up after Christmas now it seems to have had all the issues ironed out.

Seems to be gettable for thirty quid or so. If it pops up in the Christmas deals thing then I'll definitely crumble.

I am entranced by how cornering g-forces push around the water on your windshield. It's incredible.

It does look pretty awesome, even the streaks off the wipers look right. The only things that struck me as being a bit off is where the raindrops picked out as streaks by the headlights seem to all appear to emanate from, doesn't look to be in the right place. Also not nearly enough spray being kicked up for the amount of water on the road.

Got it new off eBay for thirty quid, there's no way it would be cheaper than that anyway.

Down to sub £20 now, that's cheap enough for me to give it a go.

Need to spend more time on this but FarCry4 is hogging the PS4 still.

They've got this set up in the demo ps4 in my local Game, and each time I've thought it was the boringest thing I've ever seen.

Is it possible to disable the corner, wall collision and car collision penalties? I couldn't see any options for it in the shop but that might be because it's a demo. I think I'd like it a lot more if it didn't penalise improvisational driving.

One of the recent updates changed what you get penalised for, and made it far more forgiving.

That's even worse! They can't just arbitrarily change the rules like that!

I could've gotten used to the nerd rules in time. Now I can't even play by them even if I wanted to!

Exclamation marks!

I was going to buy this then had a massive pissy fit that you can't download the full game from the store if you have PS+, and the PS+ to full game upgrade costs £36 compared to the shopto physical full game price.

(further searching suggested that there is virtually nowhere that is selling the full game for more than the upgrade price, leading to further screaming).

Had Driveclub PS+ Edition been a launch title then it's possible it would have made more sense when the game was £50 in shops. Not now though.

No doubt it made sense at some point. But I came to this Generation full of hope that some of the quirks of Official Store downloads would have been resolved at least to some degree. This is a worse result then when you went on the 360 online store and found that a game retailing at £30 in Game was still showing as £50 in the store.

What is your Playstation name Dave?

Really enjoyed the quick go I had last night, love the time trials on the Norway courses. Mangaged to unlock a couple of cars, also noticed a few free bits in the DLC section so have a look if you haven't already.

Do some single events to have a look at the rain and weather, it looks properly amazing sometimes.

I sent you an invite to the club but I think you just "liked" the fact that I had invited you rather than accepting it. Also clubs seem to be limited to six people.

Yeah I was jumping into a variety of races last night, the lighting is stunning at times too.

Your invite came through my phone (there's an app for that TM) so it liked it when I replied :)

Accepted inv once in the proper game and tried to join you last night late on but you buggered off.
