Well said!!!!!
We were wondering that with club mates earlier today.
Still unsure, but I suspect it doesn't.

I played this game tonight for about three hours and my overall impression so far is that this is a competent racing game but one that does nothing to stand out from the crowd except for having absolutely terrible A.I. that rigidly sticks to the racing line and likes playing bumper cars with you at your expense since you get penalised for them. Ahem.
Anyway, when I loaded the game up, the first thing I noticed was that the game had a large black border around it, only the second game to do this, the other being MLB 14: The Show. I'm playing the game on a 1080p Sony HDTV with 1:1 pixel mapping (i.e. no overscan).
It can be fixed by adjusting the Display Area Setting but that is not what that setting is intended for as it is meant for repositioning the HUD not stretching the screen! The problem with adjusting that setting is that it is GLOBAL and will affect all other games that use it. Usually that means having the HUD positioned closer to the edges of the screen, not a problem in itself but some games like FIFA 15 are bugged and not only reposition the HUD but also increase its size!!!
What Evolution should have done (and the developers of MLB 14: The Show) is had an in-game setting that could be adjusted and saved along with the other settings. I would like to leave the Display Area Setting as it was because I prefer the HUD in its default position but now I can't because of those two games. Sure, I can adjust the Display Area Setting for each of those games but that isn't exactly ideal, is it?
I do not have mess around with adjusting screen sizes and HUDs on the Xbox One and Wii U so it is annoying that I have to on the PS4. I hope Evolution will fix this in a patch.

I've done the same. I think Evo are a great studio and deserve the benefit of the doubt.

Agreed
Obviously they didn't think it would be a good idea to have it not work. Give them a break. They are going to get it working ASAP because they certainly don't want people accusing them of knowingly throwing a busted game into the wild like people said with DICE servers. The traffic caught their systems weaknesses and now they know so they'll take care of it.
How?!? My highest score is 5,700 and I have tried everything.
Get a wheel
I cleared that by something like 31 points.
Managed to get connected, are there any clubs with spots open that are just to focus on getting the unlocks and challenges? Not really interested in competitive online racing, but I'd like to roll with some GAF homies to level up a club. I joined some random one but I seem to be the only one contributing to it, probably since nobody else can get online.
I own a wheel and I suck at drifting.
Can't even reach the 5000 points challenge.

Yeah. It's easy to make comparisons to other launches, but the fact is that this game was shown off at the PS4 reveal and is probably the largest launch for Evolution yet. Motorstorm game launches pale in comparison.
They have neither the experience nor resources that companies like EA, Bungie and Blizzard do, and even those massive companies have had problems with server load and launch issues. So yeah, I think people should cut them a bit of slack this time.
But I also think that it's reasonable to expect them to learn from this mistake, and their next game launch should absolutely be held to a higher standard.
I done the same a few days ago. Well said. The developers care about their work and no one will be more gutted than them about these issues.
Just remember that developers are the ones that make videogames possible, all the hounding and name calling only disillusions people. Make it stop, support the developers.
I don't think I've managed more than 2400 points for a single slide. I cheesed the last few events.
Keeping your speed up, manual gear, force it in a gear that's too low for, ebrake into it and be smooth on the throttle.
Also aim for a smooth exit. The speed traps make it stick.

Yup, people act like they don't care at all about the problems. As someone who does occasional software development, there's few things more disheartening and frustrating than when your product doesn't work as intended. It's a source of pride for most of us, and you want to see people enjoying/using it.
Yeah, you know... I'm the "go big or go home" kind of guy.
So it would be at least the T500 and a seat. My wife is OK with that kind of investment, but we just moved to a new place and bought a kitchen.
So wheel gotta wait.
Is the T80 any good?
Thanks man will give it a shot.I must have tried this event at least 60 times.

I suspect the UK is about to DDOS the crap out of the Sony servers in a few minutes. Sorry folks, it's going to be disconnection hell for a while and then we'll all go to bed because it's late and the world can have hope again.
I finally did it, cleared it by 66.

Yeah, it's not like they are owned by one of the biggest companies in the world or something!
Although I agree, if anyone is calling the people at Evo "scum", that's definitely going WAY too damn far. It's definitely ridiculous that we are going on 4 days now and they still haven't gotten things into any real improved state.
I know dat feel Bro! Perfection!

Am I the only one hyped that there are 50 seconds till release lol.

Completely agreed. Evo is probably extremely frustrated at this situation, so I can imagine all of the people coming at them with pitchforks is making it that much worse.
First multiplayer race, someone deliberately bumped into me to make me spin out. Crashed into some other guys as well. Second race, different players, everyone plays nice. It's the multiplayer section of a racing game all right. Playing with randoms is gonna be a crapshoot.
By the way, no option to mute players? I couldn't find it in the lobby. Some guy was spamming static over his mic in one race, very annoying.

I haven't played in a couple of days but listening to another night by real McCoy got me in the mood to play. I'll definitely get a race or two in tomorrow or over the weekend.
The Hennessey Venom GT is an absolutely ridiculous beast with its ferocius growl, unbelievable acceleration, mind-boggling top speed and tight handling, rendering the whole hyper-class races useless as it makes the other cars look like Dacias. I clocked over 380 km/h in Norway, which makes me wonder, what is the fastest track in this game? Gotta be in Chile, right?
Having just finished the Legend Trophy with the Hennessey, I have to say it was one if the best gaming moments I've had. The audio is at the least on par with the graphics, and the awesome handling really makes this game enjoyable.

I agree they do deserve all the anger they get, but name calling and being overly rude is just wrong, i personally am glad i decided against buying the game with the whole legacy wheel debacle from logitech/sony and others regarding that issue, was hoping to give it a spin on ps+ atleast but the last month sony sure has fudged the PSN network it needs major improvments.
Come back on Tuesday, then.
The game's been released three days ago.
I just did the same. More satisfying to be positive than to rage.
Though I've been known to rage too!
EDIT: Rushy favorited my tweet! Feels good knowing he got the message.

Am I the last one from our club to get the game? I hope my disc arrives tomorrow!
Perfect response. We're all frustrated guys, but there's no need to exaggerate or throw a tantrum to express it. If you're that pissed, take a walk outside, watch a movie, get drunk, chase some tail. There's a lot to do besides playing games.
