I don't think it (PS+ version) is going to be available yet.

Glad to see we have now moved on to selective user reviews to enforce ones own opinions

Well it's that or focus on Gamespot's 5/10 and repeat the same negative points over and over..

Hopefully the PS Plus version is out by midnight tonight. I understand they must be working really heard at Evolution Studios, but come on, the game is already a year late.

There holding the release back off the PS plus version from what i have read and from reading the Facebook page there working hard to improve the situation.

I would not get your hopes up for midnight tonight.

Only got it this today, I'll post my opinion soon but in the meantime here is a couple of screenshots from one of the first races to show evening/night transition :

I respect the developer and their dedication, but you would think after a year of holding it back it should just 'work' as expected. Surely they knew how big the game was in anticipation, so why aren't their servers capable of managing such data.

Not surprising considering a company much much bigger like EA, can have serious sever issues, especially at the launch of the new SimCity. Or could for instance release a beta of a game that isn't actually too bad, but then release a terrible buggy final game (BF4..)

We say this about most large game releases. It's not an easy thing to get right clearly.

Does the Playstation 4 always compress images so horribly? Not a dig at the console or the game, I'm planning on buying one when Uncharted comes out I was just wondering.

Murray · 9 Oct 2014 at 17:51

I don't think its the PS4 but facebook or twitter depending on where you upload them too.

Does it save the original screenshot or do you only have the option of uploading to social media?

Noxia · 9 Oct 2014 at 18:13

No you can only upload compressed ones sadly to Twitter etc.

I wasn't impressed by reviews of course but I still want to play the damn thing!

RoboCod · 9 Oct 2014 at 18:24

Watching some of the feeds on twitch, looks fun! I'm looking forward to it.

You can send the SS to yourself in a message on the console and then open the message on your phone I think or your PC and you can download the full quality image.

At least thats how I remember you had to do it to get oringinal screen shots

The original uncompressed image can be transferred from the PS4 onto a USB Stick. Then upload onto a photo share website.
