DriveClub by Evolution Studios [PS4]

[Arwin]

Let them work on DriveClub 'as a service' for a while, the weather, getting the online wrinkles worked out, create more environments and tracks, etc. I am impressed with how well they've done street racing and there is currently more depth in it than a Motorstorm game has had so far. I would actually not mind if they attempted some dirt rally at some point as an addition rather than a full blown new Motorstorm...

The smoke is amazing in the game. Some rally would be a killer

This was exactly what I thought. Tens of thousands?? Really? And everything worked? You don't say Mr dev...

That's how you test server capacity before you actually deploy a full scale environment. We've done so much scale testing where I work we don't even have to test to tens of thousands, a moderate load test of 2,500 is more than enough even when the full load on the server farm will be tens of millions of concurrent jobs.

Well you seem more qualified. They failed and they will pay for it. Instead of a free beta they got their failure displayed before the paying audience.

That's good to know. I'll add that one to www.techingames.net as well.

This racing wheel ThrustMaster T300 Ferrari GT is also supported, its actually the same as T300RS but a brand stamped.

Just updated it to the site using my phone.

 

[Nesh]

SO when on earth are we going to see the PS+ edition? They still said nothing.

Its as if it got canceled alltogether

 

[scf]

It's clear that not earlier than they fix online.

Was this the 'technical issue' which delayed Driveclub ?
I hope it doesn't hurt Evolution too much, first an extra year of expenditure and then a mess up which is making their game lose face everywhere. If it doesn't sell well.......it usually means closure with AAA devs these days. And I don't see it selling well with these kindof troubles taking all the attention.
Except for B3D's good reviews, I don't see any good talk about the game...only about its still not functional Online.

But these are no AAA devs imo, otherwise we wouldn't have a broken product 3 weeks after launch...

Ok, online seems to work better now. Had couple of rounds...nice. Is really fun when it works! Also rankings seem to work...I am as fast as Globalisateur, if I try hard

How dare you?

Globalisateur cheater! How have you managed to get 8000+ points for corner faceoff?

I was hotlapping yesterday on India track and Audi A1 Quattro. There was no faceoffs and even comparison to my own best time. After about of an hour faceoffs appeared, my ghost and ghost of some other player who was close to my time. Oh cool I said, let's drive one more lap and go to bed at about 11pm. Well, I got to sleep at 1am

Also got second place in the leaderboards

BF4, Sim City and Diablo III say otherwise.

Today online works much much much better. Easy to notice by how fast avatars in the player list is loading. Matchmaking seems also to be good.

I don't know. How those points are counted anyway? In one race? only one corner? It could be a bug as I have never excelled on those.

Notice the sun lighting + shadows on the mountains, shadows of cars on the road, also the shadows of the clouds right on the mountain:

Subtle lighting of Sun through the clouds + reflections on cars:

Pagani + sun + shadows:

I want my PS+ version now

Dear PSP subscribers,
We are sorry for the delay of DriveClub PSP Edition, it was unfortunate but needed. Now we can confirm that DriveClub PSP Edition will be released as December PSP IGC and we will give you a bonus of 1 additional cars.

See you in driveclub!

i imagine it will be something like that.. bah.

Your best particular corner on the particular track is 8000+ points now. When I drive through same corner a faceoff appears suggesting me to beat you Though max I did was about 1000. Maybe when you do perfect corner you get some bonus points.
