Yup. Spot on.
Why is it down to the sunset overdrive thread? shouldnt it be in the forza horizon 2 thread? or are you just saying people feuding in general? over any negative? I am confused a little sorry dude?
Why would people want to attack a completely different genre of game? just becuase it's an exclusive?

It was up for me for a short time on Tuesday. When I was completing a time trial event in Scotland I kept going after I'd collected 3 stars from the event because the damn challenges kept popping up. It's more addictive with those pop-ups, there's not even leaderboards after a race at the moment which is annoying.

I'm not 100% sure about the season pass pic, how much is the season pass when I own the full version, and where would I buy that? How much would I pay without the pass each month?

I disagree. The lighting in PCars makes it look a bit cartoony in motion. At least less realistic than DC.

Same for me ! Was happy to finally beat 1:46 in Scotland after trying 6-7 times. Sincerely this game really delivers and some reviewers should be ashamed of their reviews.

Opinions then, i dont find the lightning in PCars cartoony. For me i dont have any doubt, Pcars on PC is superior, let alone talking about IQ,AF, texture quality, etc.

It always blocks the rev dial, which is a bitch with manual shifting.
So you feel engine sounds are bad in DC because they've not been amped up with effects and sounds - like lion roars and human screams, à la Turn10 - that don't really have anything to do with the way the engine sounds IRL?

This game is fucking magical. Cockpit view + no HUD is fantastic. I'm glad there is a PS+ edition for people to try, though I wish it had included a selection of tracks from a few different locations instead of just India. Just to get people to see how amazing these tracks look in person.
Now that is no online challenges to share currently, do you guys have any favorite combination of tracks + settings?

Drift,

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:

Hey, pretty helpful this video, I left yesterday that track because I can't reach the score.

But how do you join a GAF club, that thread seems to have hit its limit, are there no sub GAF clubs?

as "reference", I cannot accept a video segment of what is in my opinion definitely taken with an early gopro hd cam.
early gopro's were notorious for their bad sound quality. you can witness that in your own link
only a tight range of the sound spectrum is captured, and this along with tremendous amount of distortion and other noises.if 458 really sounded like this in the drivers seat, I bet that the entire ferrari acoustics dept. would be fired in a single day
on your video, check the in-car sound as its recorded by another camera that simply is not a gopro to hear the difference (and still, very very far from audio equipment used to capture high performing engines). example around 20 seconds in. not the 1:10 you choose.
and right before that 20 sec. spot, you can hear again the early gopro poor audio at 17 sec to attest the sound quality difference yourself. and right above the exhausts too.
actually the videos that he comments on, they are all playstation 4 videos.
I guess you didnt even bother to see what they were about before writing your ...thing?
and a friendly tip: dont mix t10 and authenticity in your arguments, when defending dc
That second comparison is hilarious.

Pcars has better IQ and such but DC lighting and backgrounds can give it the edge for some people.
IMO DC lighting just better than Pcars of course if you have hardware everything else look better in Pcars expect maybe backgrounds.
Still some tracks are rather boring in real life so there is not much Pcars can do about that .

Is it true that if you're playing offline and servers fall the game kicks you out?
You mean playing online?
Only 6 people to a club.I'm connected online

No, offline. Playing against the machine and trying to sync with the servers to check other's score or times.
I think I've read so, but I want a confirmation.
why is there no www.aredriveclubserversonlineyet.com?

LOOL Wow..everyone calm tha f down le-seb got this..this cat works for T10 and Evo, recorded engine sounds so he knows..we got schooled can't argue with that. move along everyone nothin to see, case closed.
Again, pop in FH2 and Holla at me then.
I finished the Rookie section of the Tour last night, but I think I'll hold off on playing more until they sort out the servers. Can't help but feel like I'm missing out on a big chunk of the fun with the social aspect of the game, especially seeing a bunch of people on my friends list playing the game.
Nope, my PS4 is online but can't connect to the DC servers but I've been playing the game, no kicks from a race
Playing offline doesn't kick you out of anything..

Good video compression. Anyway i have both games, so my opinion still stands.

Anyone have the driveclub app apk?
What if I've watched the vids and simply make the point that people may have been spoiled with the way engines sound are enhanced with all kind of effects and sounds that don't belong to the world of mechanics, just giving a notorious example?actually the videos that he comments on, they are all playstation 4 videos.
I guess you didnt even bother to see what they were about before writing your ...thing?

Preferences are a nice thing, but telling the sounds are bad in DC is pushing the hyperbole a bit far.
That's not what I'm telling, learn to read.
Yep, amazing thread. Nearly 1.2 million views and, being in the UK, I haven't even got my hands on the game yet.

What does Sunset Overdrive have to do with anything? The fact you even think like that is really sad.
Just ignore the criticism and get on with enjoying the game!
well, if you did watch the videos, saw that they were all about playstation 4 games, and yet you chose to reply to that with a flame comment about t10 and forza,
I guess that speaks of your intentions..

Still no iOS app??!!
looks like you keep coming to this thread to say bad things about the game, and/or making comparisons to other games.
At least remove you avatar, it's embarrassing for my club
I'm sorry T10 is the only example coming to my mind, bro.
It's just that they've been marketing this point quite heavily last year.
Anyway, point is taken, sound in DC is bad.
l-o-l
Ok thanks, I'll wait till my next paycheck then haha.

I bought the PS+ upgrade yesterday as the free version wasn't available, and I'm glad I listened to Gaf users over reviewers. Played the game for hours, and it really is a joy to drive, the sense of speed is awesome, and there's a variety of tracks. It's a bit hard to adjust to controlling the cars coming from years of playing WipEout HD, where losing the control of the vehicle never occurred even at top speeds, but they're a different kind of racers. The only minuses are the timer when you go off-road, and the penalty for collision, which doesn't seem to apply to the AI drivers when they crash into your car.
I can imagine, that the game isn't for everyone as it's pretty challenging, just like WipEout was. I only hope it, and the reviews dismissing the game for the lack of open world, won't result with similarly low sales, as it could probably be a final death sentence to the arcade racing genre.

Just tried a couple of races, and instantly fell in love with it. So awesome to control and amazing cockpit view. Will be played alot over the weekend.
