Title: Driveclub PS+ Edition is out now
Post by: Cerveza mas fina on June 25, 2015, 08:44:20 AM
PS+ version consists of 13 tracks in India.

Full version has 65 tracks in multiple locations.

You can get trophies, including platinum one, in this version.

No online yet though, as they are still working on it.

I've been playing it for a bit. Still lukewarm to it.

In my eyes it's not a true Sony racer due to the lack of Honda Civics  :japancry

I bought the full game for cheap and it's the best casual racing sim I've played since Race Driver: Grid.

So its more of a sim then an arcade racer?

It's somewhere in between. It's much less of a sim than the Gran Turismo series. Even powerful cars are easy to control with a gamepad.

I'll admit I mostly want this to drive through Scotland in the rain.

Kind of bummed I only get India in the freebie version.

I'll give it a go, not big on sim racers.

It's an arcade racer.  Wasn't as good as PGR at launch, though the updates have gone a long way.  It's a pretty damn good arcade street racer (just not silly unrealistic arcade like Burnout or NFS, more like PGR realism but you can powerslide and stuff).  Absolutely would recommend it to anyone who likes arcade racers.  Only problem I had was the game had a good difficulty balance until the campaign gets psycho hard and then all the tons and tons of DLC tracks/events coming out were like endgame level insane difficulty so I didn't bother with them because I'm not that good and I don't want to spend the time to be! :P

Try multiple cars, Lager. They all control very differently.

it's pretty fun.  random thoughts on it (this but this): the handling is sort of a stiffer PGR2 feel, not so much 3 and 4.  hud toggle on the d-pad is nice, because the hud is way too busy.  third person camera options are junk but it has the best cockpit view, inside the car right under the windshield.  on that, a toggle for indoor or outdoor audio is nice.  for all the talk of how good the game looks, under normal conditions it's fine, I guess.  weather effects and accelerated time of day do look great and affect driving visibility, which is nice.  there was a moment I accidentally entered photo mode and got excited until I noticed how few options it had compared to PGR3/4, and the realization that I keep comparing racing games to PGR4 because in the 8 years since nothing matches let alone surpasses it.  also the driveclub servers were down and I still don't know what drive clubs are about.
