Has this been posted? I didn't know a new patch came out (a few days ago apparently) adding sound effects to the weather, pretty incredible!

its like reading a beta thread

Such an epic looking game. Makes me wonder what the Forza devs thought and their plans for Forza 6. DC makes F5 look like a ps2 game.

love the effects - but not convinced on the droplets on the windshield - would they do that ?

admittedly I dont drive at race speeds but I don't ever recall seeing an effect like that

Buckster · 24 Dec 2014 at 10:28

ok I take it back - just watched some videos on youtube and rain drops do - do that

going for £24 at most major retailors now - worth a punt I suppose.
Did they ever get round to releasing the free version for PS+ users?

Nope, and no idea of when or if they will yet.

It's a cool game isn't it! So close to the platinum on this now... Am now 205/205 on the tour and have 45/45 on 1 expansion and 44/45 on the other 3. Always one event that is too ricky! Don't get me started on a rainly 'Venom hot lap!'

That Murrusia Drift challenge took me about 30 attempts. PITA that one.

Key was to keep the speed up. One drift I got 3000 points.

So determined to finish that main tour now. I've enjoyed the single player, very challenging to me.

kdd · 26 Dec 2014 at 23:40

Yep you really need to master drifitng! All about approach ultimately when you master how to get a long drift going it becomes easy.

grudas · 26 Dec 2014 at 23:42

drifting in this game is a waste of space IMO! you get nothing for clean drifts, good angles etc.. that's why you see people spinning out, driving the wrong way etc on challenges to gain more points - just dumb

plus cars seem to be under-powered to keep the drift going which is even worse?! because an m4 for e.g. should have no problems keeping a drift going but it just stalls and runs out of poof.

0.2 of a second off the Venom hotlap 2 3rd star. As if the original wasn't hard enough, now at night in the rain.

I would agree that it's not the best representation of drifting I've ever seen in a game, and borders on frustration often. Having a drift mode seems obligitary these days is what I first thought, the scoring is indeed rather linear, though i don't notice how you can cheat by going back wards? I tried to glitch by re doing parts of a track and it wouldn't let me score any points.

Got this and forza horizon 2 for Christmas. Seem to be spending most of my time on forza as its just so much fun.
Driveclub sure is pretty though. Depending on what course your on. Some courses like the chile ones look photorealistic where as the Scotland ones to me not so much.
Loving the weather though.
If I was going to show this game off id definatly have it raining heavy as it looks amazing.
I do feel as though it needs more courses though.Didnt take me long to drive them all.

I got Drive Club amongst about 5 or other games over xmas and my birthday just before it figure the best people to ask as to whether I break the seal or not is you lot... I've played GT and Forza before, preferred the GT setup but possibly the racing in forza... is the AI on a train track like GT or do they actually move about and crash etc?? Basically keep or trade?

sityeuropa · 29 Dec 2014 at 10:36

Keep, do a time trial with a faster car and see for yourself.
