Yep, you can choose a normal color. You have to go to the ''Garage'' option from the main menu and there you can change it up.
And a mess of a game? Nah, even without online functions it's a blast to play.
Don't feel bad for me, i'm okay really.

Drift,
for anyone that thinks drifting is badly implemented or not possible.

It's more than good enough for the 3 medals but could be much better - for example not sliding off the track!
Engine sounds good to me, as well, does it sound like a Spyker? why yes:

Before launch, it was beautiful. Worked at all times that I was playing but as soon as it launched, the servers went to hell.

Yes.
I love those guys, but their discussion and review of DriveClub is not one of their finer moments.
Jeff and Brad complained about the physics model during the Bombcast. Both suggested DC was marketed as a sim stand-in for Gran Tourismo. And during the Quick Look, Jeffwho reviewed them gamedidn't know the answers to basic questions or misspoke about several features.
Honestly, his review felt half-arsed in many ways.

My wallet was very happy that I just needed to pay 40 euros for a great game like this.

Man I like the look of this game but that chase cam looks so off to me.
Ooops double post sorry
no I was actually trying to be a bit funny. I'm a light hearted Guy It never comes across in text. I was just taking a stab. no trolling here. I just want to play this game but I am not paying for it after being promised the plus verison. They need to sort their shit out

Just had a couple of hours last night. First Indian track didn't exactly wow me and I also had to get a feeling of the handling.
The Canadian track really opened up the game. The sense of speed is phenomenal and blasting across the bridge with rumble and fantastic sound effects really got me going.
Then came Scotland - oh wow! At times it just felt so real. It's an overcast track and when the sun suddenly breaks through it almost sends shivers down my spine. At times the lightning makes it hard to see what comes up ahead which intensified the game quite a bit and makes it feel pretty realistic. Night time can be scary at times. And I find the handling really tight and simply love how the cars react to asphalt, dirt etc.
Trying to get below 1:46:00 in the Scotland track proved to be quite a challenge for me. Luckily the game really nails the one-more-time feeling for me, so I finally managed. If you like a racer where you constantly need to perfect your corners, mind the road, bumps, dirt etc. this game really delivers. For me, at least.
Btw, screens don't do it justice - in motion I find it absolutely breathtaking at times. And without HUD it sometimes approaches photorealism. Scotland btw reminded me of the Jerry Bruckheimer intro logo.

The visuals are very nice still, some gorgeous lighting and draw distances, the IQ just looks really poor on some things on closer inspection, like the aliasing and ground textures, especially during the slow fly-over pans at the track intros. I'm surprised they would let the camera focus on that stuff so bluntly.
The driving model definitely feels good. The tour looks pretty short though. Are you guys doing cockpit view? I can't seem to get a good feel for cockpit, have to pull it back.

So they delayed the game for almost a year, officially the improve the social aspects of the game and the social interface, only to launch the game with sever problems so most gamers can't even use these features.
What a fuck up.
How can something like this happen?
I'm usually pretty forgiving on that front but this is just unacceptable.

I think dash view is better than cockpit. Cockpit views are always weird to me. I don't stare at the wheel when I drive in real life, my vision is focused out the windshield. So I like it when the camera pulls up from the wheel and forward like in the dash can.

In case you dont already know, the servers are up and running but they are hitting their performance limits, explained Evolution in a Facebook post. They wont accept new connections until one of the current online players frees up their space (allowing another to join in their place, which happens automatically and player selection is random).
When you finish and disconnect, youll free up a space for someone else. This is obviously not ideal, especially given that there are a lot of players waiting to connect, but thats how its working right now.
What? Undercapacity is the problem? How is this even possible when they exclude MILLIONS of Plus users !!!?!!!
This is very amateuristic.

Wait what? it's not even queuing? Also lol at the permaconnection, so some AFK fucker could be sitting there taking up my slot on the server. This is some super terrible bullshit, I don't even understand how you can fail at servers this badly. I don't understand at all. Like did they not have preorder numbers? Is the server like some devs old laptop, how the hell can it be this terrible.

Rushy, I know you're reading this. Love the game, now do us a favor and have this shit in a DLC/sequel.
Thanks.
Thanks.
I'm asking for an opinion here.
I'm tempted to try buying a wheel after 15 years (maybe thrustmaster t100 since the t80 the official one doesn't have force feedback)
you guys thinks that the experience would be better with it, right now I'm pretty satisfied with the handling so far its pretty fun driving

"omg", why did I take your original post seriously.
My bad for thinking you actually wanted information.

It's definitely disguised concern trolling. The same user wrote this in this same thread earlier, which I thought was pretty ridiculous. Don't worry everybody, it's ok that we like DriveClub. We have approval.
They really have to fix the server shit as soon as possible though. Isn't that the main reason they even had a beta?
deny as much as you want, the game i a hell of a racer! Personaly i think its better then all arcade racers ive played the entire last gen.
wait till you get to norway!

A lot of stuff is easier with the app. I always use the app for messaging even when I'm playing ps4 at the time.

Except it doesn't work. You get booted tha f out couple of mins after. Just give me leaderboard times, challenges in SP tour fully functional and I'm good..zero $&@% on MP at the moment.

I've only seen the "I approve of people liking this game" a few times on GAF, it's a definite sign going off the deep end.
What view are you using?

It's been day 3 of not playing Driveclub, I wish I had bought anything else with my money at this point. This server situation is ludicrous. I know I'll never return to play it again if I finish the tour before the servers come up but I bought it digitally which was a huge mistake, so I kind of want to get my money out of it.

No I saw videos of Project Cars and it's not even close. DC lighting makes it far superior in motion.

Sorry, but this is not true, having played both i can say that Project Cars maxed out on PC is overal prettier than DriveClub.

Call Sony about getting a refund. I did it earlier today, they tried to give me the line that they're aware of it and engineers are working on it. But I just kept insisting that I wasn't interested in their "fix it in post" mentality. When I buy a product, I expect it to work as advertised - Day Fucking One! 3 phone calls and a supervisor later, I'm getting a refund.

Comparing behind the car with driver view is not very helpful. EDIT: Okay, it cycles to behind the car for a second or so at the start.
For reference Check around the 1:10 mark or so. Sounds good enough for me. But hey, I'm used to GT1-6, so my standards may be off.

Ok just bought this as was too impatient to wait for the PS+ version, I'm getting no music while playing the game, do I have to wait for the game to fully download for this or is there an option I'm missing?
Check the options? Music is at 0% by default - or it is still downloading. Hover over at game in PS4 dash and click options - info.
Have to turn it on in the options menu.
You have to turn it on in the audio options.

It'll pick up again when the UK crew finally get to play. It's overwhelmingly positive though, even some doubters have been swayed when they've finally played the game.
OT: The review thread continues to be awful though, regret going in there everytime I do. It will be interesting to see how the Sunset Overdrive review thread fares. No matter how well it does, it's going to be gloves-off, with criticism up the wazoo, and I expect a lot of that is going to be reverse-schadenfreude and poster revenge wars.
Music is default off, go to the settings.

By the time you get bored by that I would imagine the servers are up and running, tbh.

If you're rubbish like me, beating the default game challenges will be enough for a few more days/weeks/months... years
