DRIVECLUB Bikes rated for PS4 in Europe

If this is an expansion to DriveClub and not a seperate game then hopefully it will pave the way for a Motorstorm expansion too, if we are not going to get a new Motorstorm game on PS4.

God I hope so. I tried out the Ride demo and found it to be a bit out of my tastes. Now, if bikes in Driveclub have as satisfying of an arcade model then I'm all in for whatever it costs. It'll finish scratching my PGR itch since we'll never have a 5th.

Perhaps this is just simply Season 2 for the DRIVECLUB platform...

DRIVECLUB (Platform, Base)
+ Season Pass Expansion (Season 1)
+ Bikes (Season 2, Stand Alone Compatible also, but owning both unlocks additional something)

As it's been stated in the past, Driveclub is moving to a platform/service model, which many are also happy with, all I know is that hopefully it is well supported by both developer and consumer alike... Then, this time next year we could be theorising what the next one will be...

DRIVECLUB (Platform, Base)
+ Season Pass Expansion (Season 1)
+ Bikes (Season 2)
+ Rally (Season 3, 2016)
+ Speedboat/Jet Ski (Season 4, 2017 (Rapid Racer/Jet Moto Edition)
+ Planes (Season 5, 2018 (Think Red Bull Air Racing))

In all seriousness, as much as I will buy the shit of of this, Driveclub Rally needs to happen at some point.

Wonder if this is the big update that was being hinted? What bits will be free?

Still one feels sad to not see a Motorstorm 1/2 sequel (and no apocalypse was no sequel, it was garbage).

Would love to see city tracks as well.

It's beautiful. What part did the Tourist Trophy director play in this? Have we got a TT knockoff in DC?

Kinda disappointed this reveal got spoiled by the thread title. It would have been nice for the thread to just say "Driveclub Spoiler... look inside for more info".

Am I being too whiney...

EDIT: I hope to god there's a bunch of brand new locations to go along with this, I've not played DC very much for a while now, NEED MOAR TRACKS!

Yes. Lol. No game leak has ever been spoiler tagged I think. Now I'm excited to see it in action but that will have to wait till later.

I tried to like Tourist Trophy but did not enjoy the handling very much. But seeing as Driveclub is a bit more arcadey I'm hoping we'll be able to sling the bikes around corners and generally have a lark at high speed. I think that this being Season Pass 2 is a pretty solid guess, and if this is what is going to happen with DC being a 'game as a service' then I'm all for it.

So I guess for it to be rated its like Infamous Last Light - both a standalone game and DLC for the original DC. Im kinda in but need to see the details.

Ultimately Im impressed what seemed to be just another season pass opportunity has had some effort involved. Don't think Ive been great ever using bikes in games (and I suck at all the bike game demos like MotoGP) so be interesting to see how they fit into DCs physics.

Hoping theres some kind of visor cam which gets fogged up at points

There better be new tracks.

I'd be surprised if there's not. They've been pretty good at developing new content, and if this really is a major spin-off/standalone DLC then I'm sure there will be new tracks in there.

You know, it may be that Evolution wants to avoid direct comparisons to Gran Turismo, but Trial Mountain has always been one of my favourite tracks from any racing game and I'd like to see them bring it into DriveClub as well.
 
Standalone :/

So not bike and cars racing together?

I'll still buy it day one !!! I have to thank them for doing a very good job since the bad launch and previous delays for PS+ version. Everything is forgiven :p
 
Sony seems to like to announce some stuff that release right away lately. Entwined, PT, and now Motorstorm Bikes. not sure if there are other, I think think maybe some beta or something.
 
My fear with this being a stan alone game is that probably not all Driveclub courses.

They've said that DC will become a service. The more likely scenario is that this is DLC for DC or if you prefer bikes you can just buy the standalone version of DC Bikes and play it along with those that have bought the DLC for their version of DC.

Would be good.
And I want cars vs motorbikes at the same time.
