I'm glad...I can handle the penalty for when you initiate contact but the fact that you get penalized for the AI hitting you, spinning you out, slamming into you, etc is ridiculous.

QFT, this dude doesn't know what "harsh" is.
That good huh?
Just quoting this for obvious reasons.

So they sold well in excess of what they expected and has overloaded their servers?
Copies sold are going to be interesting.

Penalty or impact? I've never had a collision penalty for AI slamming into me and there have been times when they've hit me pretty hard and there has been a big speed differential (which I think is key to triggering the penalty rather than impact). Only when I have slammed into them have I had a penalty. Impact, sure, loads. But never penalty.
For real? I might just keep driveclub playing on my ps4 then.

Its not as over the top as Shift, but communicates just as much without needing to be. The animations of the hands on wheel - which I'm pretty sure are unique to each car - are the best and most dynamic, easily. And of course the cabin detail is what you'd expect from a next gen game like this - immaculate. Immersion am total.
If driving from cockpit view ever puts me at a disadvantage for certain events, I'll just adapt and overcome because its too good.
I would just say try it for yourself, but we're not quite there yet.
I'll second that. Basically every track looks good from 6:00am and 15x time compression. Coming out of the dark dawn in to the day is brilliant.
I get to try it on Tuesday ,its when my copy comes.

I think I may have misunderstood the tweet then. I was talking about the point deduction that happens when the AI hits you and basically screws you over. If it's only the collision penalty they will fix then I guess that's ok too but meh. I don't understand how the game can be set to think that the AI hitting you is your fault but oh well.
Man...that Power Curve (Clark Remix) track is awesome.

cornering face off vs "driveclub" score 0 points.
zero!
same connectivity too: green in race then res error 10 seconds later.

That's why you've gotta go cockpit view
Yep, cockpit view looks pretty sweet with all the detailed lighting and stuff. I tend to check out each of them but I simply prefer playing in 3rd person view. I do much better in that mode and it feels awkward for me to use the DS4 in cockpit view.

Once I got used to cockpit view without the hud I ended up doing much better, I tend to pay more attention to the little things I guess and my times drastically improved. I'm also only using the DS4.

Definitely goes under my "Is this real life?" collection
Very nice vid.

Sorry, not real happy about wasting money on a game, that even delayed a year, doesn't work. If you all are satisfied having "it" shoveled in your face, I guess happy eating!

I've noticed a trend that both of us end up in these Racing game topics.
Both for GT6 and now Driveclub. I guess you love the racing game genre as much as I do.
I've seen Norante post in this topic sporadically as well.
And yes, First person view in this game is boss.

At least you're equal opportunity!
It sucks that they did not plan their online infrastructure better, but the game isn't broken or unplayable just because you can't play online/compete. It's perfectly fine in single player?

This statement can be implied you being are forced to play this game. I don't even know why you would say that.

Interesting that the current issues are with the software for the servers themselves rather than the game. Hope that's a sign the changes to the servers might reap other benefits in the long run.
Some of the cornering penalties are spotty too, sometimes you slightly cut a corner without penalty whereas next time you do the same thing on the same corner you get stung.

Oh look comes in a thread and jabbers like chicken and clucks like a chicken also.

Well I'm done with this, can't stand the game at all, it's terrible. I should have waited on reviews or the PS+ version instead of wasting $60 on a game I ended up hating. Haven't done that in a long time.

I prefer dash cam, more visibility, but you still feel grounded by the cabin/dash.
Best cockpit view in the business.

I love how my driver just nonchalantly drives along at 200 KPH one-handed. This is true warp speed. Needless to say I went into the barrier after the end of this.

I am platform agnostic. Kudos!
I just don't enjoy being sold a bill of goods and it not being met. I want to race online. Not against AI. Basic online functionality has been in racing games since 2001. This is not a HALO 3 launch. It is a racing game that probably won't outsell Forza Horizon 2 and I can't get the thing online 5 days after launch. It is pathetic.
I can get online but don't see leaderboards, can't connect to clubs or challenges and cannot start a multiplayer race.
It's like I'm not online.
I wasn't gonna play online anyway so booyah!

To be sure, if I had a wheel I'd probably have a different perspective here.
But as a controller user I look for the view that provides me the most immersion - and that's not just developer/artist sleight of hand to make me think that I'm occupying that space - its also the view that imparts the most information about the state of the car - the suspension and balance, the revs, discrete speed and steering lock. Its about feedback. As a controller user this is the most informative and detailed cockpit view I've seen, and it helps me in my moment to moment decision-making.
If I had the space for a wheel and could actually feel that force-feedback and wheel rumble, that'd be a whole new world. But alas, I have no space in this cramped and overpriced San Francisco apartment. Otherwise...
You ain't got time to lose.Legend AI ain't got shit on me.
Been in love with how video games can impart that sense of speed since playing Pod Racer on PC years ago. Since then though, the sim games have made me appreciate the real-world physics and engineering behind these supercars and what the race drivers with their alternate states of mind (like Senna) can achieve. It gets me in both spheres of my mind and is this great confluence of artistry with pure intelligence and drive. Love it, in all of its forms.
LOVE the sound of the Lotus Exige. Wow!
Haha. You did it just for the GIF didn't you?

Contender for worst post I've ever seen. The game plays extremely well and Evo ran a server test with tens of thousands of players before launch. There was no issue, so they thought they were good to go.
Good to see you can't be bothered to inform yourself before posting. Maybe you should start with an N4G or Gamefaqs membership and then work your way up to forums in which people are encouraged to refrain from acting like petulant children.

Yeah ok.
Even with its issues, this is the best game I've played all year. And trust me, I find the server problems insufferably irritating. I'm glad you're not in any position of authority at Sony.
I get that Evo fucked up and the situation is anything but good. But to imply that they should be shuttered and don't even have the talent to make a console game is just pure bullshit. And if you didn't notice, I simply followed his format of ending my post with inch incendiary nonsense.

People have every right to be annoyed, but I'm not sure what it does to imply Evolution don't know what they're doing. They've made a damn fine game, but there's something, on their end, causing issues, they know about it and they're trying to fix it. That's just the nature of online games. It sucks, but it doesn't mean they're bad developers.
Nice counter argument, which is about what I expected. And I've been lurking for far longer than that, junior.
