Lol, that's all they have for Driveclub? I had zero issues with any of those mentioned. I see DC as an easy scapegoat for "broken games". Those bugs have never appeared in my gameplay. Sad, so sad. such a good game being shelled as a broken launch when the core game worked day one and hasn't changed much. To the eyes of gamers that have never played it they will never know how overblown it's launch was.

Driveclub might have it's bugs but it don't have as many bugs as project cars on the ps4. That game is almost unplayable with a wheel when it was released.
 
Its really odd, F1 2015 still has broken online since July and there hasn't been any reporting on that. :lol:

Did some more playing and managed to unlock the Audi R8 V10 Plus. Currently doing the Starting Line Tour as its the only one that doesn't require a visit to the PSN store to activate it.
 
I don't think anyone will disagree when it comes to the the troublesome launch of DC. One whole month of botched online features will sure be a thorn in the minds of DC fans.

But since then, they were genuine in admitting their fault, and fixed the online connectivity, with the promise of constant updates and new contents were given in spades.

Which is why I don't get the constant negativity for DC. These loud complaints mostly came from those who dwell on the first two disastrous months, but fail to acknowledge the fact that the game picked up the pace quickly since then. Its as if these people didn't even play the game after it was fixed, and still continue to complain. (Which I think is somewhat true)

True. The rate at which Evo turned the game around following the launch is nothing short of remarkable. Each update that came out has transformed DC into the best and most polished racer on PS4.
 
Nothing even comes close to be honest, the game is on its own plain of existance when it comes to polish and functionality. Although the gameplay is not everyone's cup of tea, it would be naive to pretend that it isnt a staggering turnaround for the game.

After reading various comments on here that the One:1 would be a scary slippery beast I took it out in a career (dry) race, and it was fine. All you need to do is take a bit of care with the pedals :)

The Atom, in comparison, was a nasty understeery thing. Any tips for what to do to get it round the corners remotely quickly?

I adore the One:1 because I tend to go bonkers with that thing. Not so much with the Atom though, can never get that thing to drive right. :P

If you think the atom handling is bad try that Peugeot EX1 thing, it doesn't even look like a car!! I agree though the one is fine as long as you go easy with the throttle.

Never go lower than third gear and short shift out of corners while being gentle on the throttle. The Atom single handedly forced me to start using manual gear changing in Driveclub (weird, since I use manual in any other driving game). It was worth the switch, if you're not driving manual already, as it cut a fair chunk out of my lap times in every car.
 
Maybe I should try out manual driving too, you do get more control of your speed out of the corner, but the default config is a little uncomfortable.

Used to play manual on Most Wanted but with L2 R2 as downshift and upshift, respectively.
Might try and change to that config first.

The EX1 is fun to drive and definitely doesn't have handling anywhere near as unpredictable as the Atom. Haven't used it in a few weeks, but the last I remember it was practically glued to the track.

I will have to try it again, last I remember I couldn't get round the first corner at Fraser Valley reverse without pranging every time!! Maybe just my poor driving, I wonder if I had been on the sherbet!!!!

Just gave the EX1 and the Atom five laps each on Fraser reverse. While the EX1 is not quite as glued to the track as I originally claimed, it's very stable and predictable. And for me fun to drive.

Five laps in the Atom wasn't enough for me to get the hang of not spinning at least twice per lap or slowing down so much (and yet still scraping a wall) that the best time I managed was 10 seconds slower than in the EX1.

The Atom V8 in Project Cars is significantly easier to handle - even with a controller - than the one in DriveClub.
 
"@Rushy33: On top of that we've got a new FREE #DRIVECLUB car to download, and a surprise that we'll reveal nearer the time ;)" - Rushy on Twitter

Any ideas what the surprise could be?
 
I think if they did paid DLC they'd sell it separately from now on but a new track/tracks would bring a bit more life into the game
 
I think a second season pass for them will work out financially better as DC customers will pay upfront £20+ easily the whole amount (cash flow) as the other one was so good people will buy it on recommendation and also they will keep coming back monthly to update new free cars etc keeping it fresh again and then further recommending it to friends etc over the 6-8 months now the core user base has grown (2m+) although this can only work if they have all content finished as they wouldn't want any more trouble not working or ready etc so I also can see it going monthly as well £4+ as you say if they haven't had time to produce the cars/tracks etc with all the backlog of fixing the servers & PS+ editions.

Regarding the surprise- I think it may also be a new track (Italy) or offroad track? (motor storm style?)

I wouldn't mind the free car being a McLaren 675Longtail (LT), Ferrari 488GTB or a new Nissan or hopefully a Ford or Honda hatchback but I think in line with what they have offered another new concept/EV/quirky powerful car..

Who knows though..I like surprises and DC do keep throwing them in.......:cheers:
 
As they mentioned they were excited about announcing the new car, I'm going to go all-out and say that they've managed to secure the rights for a Porsche 911 - especially as most folks wouldn't expect that ;)

I'm not sure about the exclusivity ending anytime soon - there have been articles on the web several times during the past few years stating this date or that one - none of them seem to get confirmed though.

I believe that a company can have a limited use right, such as the one MS have with EA/Porsche for Forza 4/5 and now FH2 - hence my wild guess, and that's all it is.

Frankly, I'm more than happy with the RUFs, but the driving community and car enthusiasts out there never stop hammering on about Porsches (gawd knows I've put more than a few straight on FB before now), so I think as a contender, it would be a game-seller and a coup for sure.

Hi! I know we can't disable traction control but in the future could it be possible?
Instead of focusing on graphics and dlc, Evo studios should work on options for gameplay in my opinion
I would like to enjoy this beautiful game but gameplay prevents me each time I try.
