Even with all the online problems and the AI I'm still having a blast, especially with the T300RS wheel.

Probably did the Putre challenge 25+ times, just kept going even after beating 3:36 because you know faster times are possible.

So my Driveclub pre-order bonuses aren't downloading, anyone else have this problem?
In the UK if that makes any difference.

I am in the US and I haven't received mine either.

I was wondering about these.

The digital edition gets 3 cars right?
where the hell are they?
We're aware of some regions problems with pre-order cars. We're working with the store teams to fix things.

This is weird because psn asia allows you to download all 3 cars right after you purchased the game.

I'm curious about the wheel. What do you think of the force feedback? Overall do you think it's worth the money because that thing is expensive here (550 USD).

Just installed my copy and the bonuses have been added with no problems. Have you looked under Driveclub, related items, my add-ons?

No obvious download was shown, but appeared there.

Man, drifting is so damn satisfying when I finally manage to nail a turn. Was practicing on the first drift stage in Canada and it felt awesome.

what is the difference between the T80 and the T100? I want a wheel for this game, stupid DFGT not working lol

T80 has no force feedback, but unlike the t100 (from what I can tell by reading here) has compatible home and share buttons. That's about it really. I don't have enough experience to know if FFB is worth an entire extra fifty bucks.

All 26 hours. Multiple times.
ok, i just recieved ma preorder bonus from amazon.
among a car it sais it has a "significant amount of ingame credits".
So, well, what use have credits in this game?
im level 20 now and didnt come across anything to do with credits..
 

Aiii

So not worth it
what is the difference between the T80 and the T100? I want a wheel for this game, stupid DFGT not working lol

Just the Force feedback and the fact that the T80 was made with the PS4 in mind and having the share/options/PS-button compared to the T100 which was made as a PC-wheel.

So basically, decide if the FF is worth the extra money, for me the answer was no. It's a good wheel either way, esp. the pedals are impressive for this price range.
 
Really enjoyed a short hour and a half session with DC last night when it unlocked for the UK and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

The racing is fast and fun, and the few cars I had the chance to drive had their own characteristics and felt good.

The aggressive AI made the racing pretty fun and competitive, and I didn't think the collision or off-road penalties were as intrusive as I had read in a few reviews.

I have to admit, I'm slightly disappointed by the graphics as I had very high expectations based on some of the screens I had seen prior to release. The lighting does look great, with night racing looking especially good, but elsewhere the game can look pretty rough at times.

Also a minor disappointment was that I couldn't try any of the online stuff last night as it didn't appear to want to work, but I know this is just a temporary glitch so I'm not too fussed. I understand the current online issues are also the reason the DLC cars failed to download for me.
 
How are the servers? I haven't been able to connect for the past few days, so I've been practicing with the Tour Mode while I wait for the servers to come back up. I can (almost always) draft, but I still mess up with drifting.

Drifting is great once it clicks with you.

I remember being utter shit at the first drift track and I thought I would never get it. Wasn't even close to the top score.

Now I'm doing 2k+ turns like a pro :p Takes me a few tries for most tracks, but I actually enjoy improving my turns.

How does one drift in this game? It just appears to happen randomly for me, although I've had some success with using the hand-brakes while taking pressure off the gas - although at that point I spin out and move behind several places in the race. ;__;

Had a very quick go last night when it unlocked (UK) and loved what I played, in some ways it's a really old fashioned arcade style racer and I know that's not for everybody but it's exactly what I was wanting from the game.

I'm sort of half tempted to hold off playing the game until the weather patch drops, not sure I can resist that long though!! Do we have any more details on the release date yet?

Press handbrake at the right time just as you enter a turn. The quality of your drift depends a lot on the right time imo :p

Don't press handbrake too long or you'll spin out of control. I think I press handbrake for about a second or so. Then it's all about keeping control of your drift by simply driving and steering.

EU too.

I've tried a few different tracks with different cars. First lap really slow, second lap a bit faster, third lap even faster and best lap is the fourth one.

Trophy never pops :(

I got the trophy the other day (NA). Didn't purposely go slow though because I already had a ghost on the track I chose. Are you sure you aren't losing to a ghost?

Sounds like you are doing it about right but you should not drift while racing if you want to win, it will makes you go slower.

Use the handbrake to get a slide and then apply throttle, you will get the hang of it :)

- You need to adjust the bloody Display Area Setting in order to get a fullscreen 1080p game otherwise the game runs with a big black border around it.

NOTE TO DEVELOPERS: THIS IS *NOT* WHAT THIS SETTING IS INTENDED FOR AS IT SHOULD BE USED *ONLY* TO REPOSITION THE HUD!!! PLEASE ADD A SCREEN ADJUSTMENT OPTION TO THE GAME ITSELF!
Absolutely disagree.

The built in overscan compensation should allow you to compensate for the overscan and even people with overscan should see everything the game wants to show you, not just the HUD.

If you want a HUD scaler, that should be offered by the game.

Pretty damn sure. I even wrote down my lap times to make sure the next one would always be faster.

Got a few hours in last night, using a T500 and having a great time, is like if PGR was about road racing rather than street racing.

So far I love this game but was let down by the blandness the game presented me ( same w all ps4 games actually ) then I realized The brightness and contrast and all that on my tv was jacked up. I fixed it and damn, much much better!
 
Has anyone had the luck of witnessing an aurora borealis yet?

The weather will not be incorporated into the existing tour events, so you can safely play all those for now.

The weather will be used in the 176 season pass events and of course we can play with weather in single event and multiplayer.
