I still can’t play this game for over than 5 minutes. I hate the physics and controller feedback/triggers.
Has the AI ever been updated? It used to follow the line, but would periodically dance about when there was no need to, and then there was the rubber banding, has this been removed yet?
Not sure why folks think because the AI drives nearly the same line something is wrong, when you race finding the correct line is of utmost importance and racers don’t go driving all over the track. DC the AI tends to stay close and pull out to pass which is often as they tend to drive like savages. The rubber banding is the boring thing that was instituted to keep the game competitive for casual players since if you get flat out burned that just not enjoyable period. There should be a no matching players pace mode where the AI will try to win regardless of what the player situation is. A few lines of code to not check for player check point times and just continue on course, I do like how the AI drives as they don’t play when it comes to taking risks and passing.
The rubber banding is one of the things that turned me off the game. How could a car that spun out and crashed all of a sudden pass me.
The AI ‘dancing about’ is sort of par with doing a QM in GT6, where other players would ‘dance’ about to annoy and hinder rather than defend.
@warpkez Racing is rubbing. Be glad the game won’t penalize you for love taps like Gran Turismo does sometimes.
Whenever there’s no rubberband the people say it’s too easy and there’s no fun, then when there’s rubberband then people either hate it or say it’s for casual players (what the heck? mind elaborating and explaining?)
No I’m not defending Driveclub, I don’t like the game much, ferocious AI and online demo derbies (often). I’m just saying in general.
How is the racing industry supposed to win when the players are never satisfied…
Meant to say *Rubbing is Racing
Nice Bimmer photo. Love it.
Thanks. :D
I have to say that Driveclub is now one of the best racing game released on console, graphic is amazing, and is full of challenges with drivers of the world, time trial, drift, races, clubs and single. DC is receiving a great support every month and last month they reached two millions of copies sold. All the servers issues have been solved, steering wheels work fine and finally we can say ” very good job”. I can’t wait when next week we will get free the fantastic new Ferrari 488, first time on videogames.
They named an event after me? I’m honoured.
DC needs Fanatec wheel support!
:-)
This.
They’d have to be a licensed PS4 peripheral maker for that to even be entertained by a Sony owned studio.
I am loving the Renault R.S. 01 so far and am really looking forward to the Ferrari 488 GTB on Tuesday.
