So the FREE version has been delayed to AFTER the PAID version is released on schedule.

Server issues??? Yeah yeah dev, nice try, losing confidence in projected sales figures once the cat is out the bag are we

Yes nothing increases confidence and sales in your product than paying customers having server issues.

Well until you play it I don't see how you can have any real input if my opinion is right or not, so until you do save us the whining.

What's that got to do with you saying you have played it? Deflecting again by the way.

The game has been Gold for a month they should have released the PS+ version 2 weeks ago like the Horizon 2 demo. I doubt server issues are the reason for delaying the PS+ version tbh.

all will be clear tomorrow.

The servers are full, adding a few million freebie players won't help that. Saying that they should have been better prepared.

Apologies multi quote on me phone is awkward.

You can show me where I trolled other Sony games? My son owns the PS4 and he bought the game from the US store, sorry if that is not what you want to hear.

Considering I didn't quote you, name you or reply directly underneath your post I'm guessing you know what your behaviour is like for you to automatically assume I was talking about you.

Just seems a bit fishy to me. Days before release the free "demo" version is delayed yet the retail version that you pay for will likely work fine. They use any old excuse to disguise their worry that all the PS+ users will download the freebie and not bother paying to upgrade if the game is not up to scratch. For the peeps that pay for the retail version it's too late other than trading it in.

The Giant Bomb quick look makes this game look dull and uninspired. Shame.

Play as much Sony games as you do though

Played the game yet?

Ah not yet. Hope it's good though so I'll give it a go.

Wow, some serious trolling going on in here.

All those who are kicking and screaming about the poor reviews, play the game and make your own mind up. We don't all have to follow the shepherd...

Does trolling mean having a differing opinion to someone else?

Surely this should put people calm ppl down.

Well they would, wouldn't they ?

:cool:

Do you get penalised for getting rammed off the road at corners? Eg, idiots that don't slow down and use you to corner.

Seems like the extra power the PS4 has is making developers focus on making it look pretty while forgetting the basics. Driveclub, Killzone, Infamous all lovely looking but sadly lacking anything worthy gameplay wise.

Utterly bizarre yet entirely unexpected conclusion for you to draw there. The people making the game pretty aren't the same ones making the game play well.

Rainforest reviews of driveclub seem ok , there are quite a few good user reviews on there from verified buyers, there is a lot of 1 star reviews but they are just ms fanboys.

I'm still looking really forward to playing this!!

It does look very lifelike but I'm sure it's not.

Why do I have the urge to skip waiting for the Plus edition and just throw my hard earned cash at Evolution after this farce ?

Broken Hope · 9 Oct 2014 at 07:11

I've had it since yesterday, the game is fine for what it's trying to be, a track racer. Most of the reviews make no sense, most of them are using the fact it's not an open world racer like Horizon as a negative, Driveclub has never once attempted to be an open world racer.

Reviews are getting silly lately, they focus more on what a game isn't rather than what it is, comparing 2 different kinds of driving games doesn't make much sense to me.

It would have been easier to whack an embargo on reviews and not show it at every expo there is than wind everyone up with server problems. The servers seem to be steadily coming back up it appears now.

The negative reviews seem to focus on the fact it's not open world, which to me is not a negative, I find them a bit contrived usually. Driving through a field in a Ferrari just for the sake of calling a game open world isn't that much fun imo, although some like it clearly.

Agreed, FH2 and DC are two different games, if I want to drive a Lamborghini through a Vineyard I'll play Forza. But I don't, I like my point to point/circuit races, I'll look towards Driveclub.
