Guess I'm the only one that just looooves being disconnected for regular server maintenance?

Would there be any chance we see something like this in Driveclub or any other videogame that is being developped?

I just love those images, this atmosphere. Those early days of Grand Prix racing with cars for that time already impressive with power and speed.

If there would be one "thing" I would like to see in DC it would be this kind of stuff. In fact it's something I would like to see happening for years but developers seem uninterested in picking this kind of stuff up or it maybe due to licensing?

So if @Rushy33 is reading in this part of the forum as well :D It could be an epic add-on for DC :bowdown:

I think to a certain extent didn't Test Drive: Ferrari Racing Legends deal with some of the older cars as well as the new - okay, not quite as far back as 1913 but they did start the appropriate races in sepia and such, so you got the feel of the time.

I would imagine a Keystone Cops scenario to be hilarious and an unholy amount of fun online.
 
True MeanElf, Ferrari RL had à few but only Ferrari's and they didn't have the 1913's age.

I personally think it would be great and very valuable content. It's rare, it's raw, it's where motorsport and passion for cars was born for the ordinary man.

I really would like to know from a dev's point of view what the difficulties would be to overcome the hurdles for implementing stuff like this.
 
I think the biggest hurdle would be the balance of pick-up-and-playability against innovation. Where companies have publishers/producers, a certain amount of innovation and risk-taking will be replaced with the push to make it more accessible for a higher number of people.

Many of us remember how tough older games were, but at the same time, those games were made for a fraction of the production and development costs involved now. I'm sure that quite a few developers would love to make something fresh and even unique - but their backers won't always let that happen. Even with as much success as Driveclub has shown, Sony is the one to watch.

Kickstarter of course might well be the answer for the games developers out there - self-publishing as a model has worked well for both musicians and writers, so maybe a stronger proportion of innovation will begin to surface over the coming years. No Man's Sky would be a good example of what we might be seeing.
 
Yes that makes sense! The difference in costs for developement is the biggest factor I think. Kickstarter could be an option. Question is how it can be mixed from a developer side, Sony's side and the investors.
 
No news about the news. Announcements are usually early in the evening (UK Time) so I doubt it'll be today... Again :(

Maybe we'll get something in the next 2 weeks before the update drops at the end of the month.
 
Thanks @Zonda5 , @MeanElf , @Mcpartyman for the advice on the RS6/Scotland elite level..I don't want to see that car and track for a few weeks now managed to get through that one..on to the RUF now..I like a challenge but have to work at these..Did you guys do them all pretty quickly..I need to stop spending so much time in the photomode and concentrate more on these longer tracks!! 👍

Edit: @doblocruiser Great idea, just one of those on the india race track would be cool as a bonus car..as we have the wombat buggy all out on its own and no one to race!

I tend to need some time to get acclimatised - the RUF challenge was easier though, you just need to be a tad ballsy with it (I'm only on level 69 myself, so currently facing the P1 challenge)
 
Don't you just hate it when you're on the final stretch in an endurance race , ready to take the win home, 3 stars ready then suddenly 2 overtakes happen by some pesky Venom GTs?

Choose Your Poison event everyone....

The Atomic Theory time trial gave me beans because the Ariel Atom V8 aka twitchy squirrel syndrome really hits hard in the wet.

Torque tour pack, man DC gave me the slip there. Twas fun though.

Level 60 Elite challenge, kinda easy, just took a few tries and some smooth driving.
 
first video I've filmed..beat the RS6 challenge last night, and found it much easier than the first two..really enjoying the challenges but I guess they're going to get a whole lot harder !!
 
@doblocruiser asked everyone what road car they wanted in Driveclub and I'd think it would be quite interesting to hear what cars you'd all dream of seeing that aren't road legal such as race cars. I'm mean if the Renault RS and the Ferrari XX's are in there who knows? :D
 
Just started playing Driveclub again, and man the game gets a hold of you once you start it up. So addictive. XD

@torque99 sorry if I took long to accept your friend quest. Haven't using the PS4 for quite sometime, but I accepted it once I got on. 👍

:cheers:

No worries Toko it was mainly for the sprint challenges-Sent you one on the challenger/japan ;)👍
 
1 and half weeks later...

Burning through the Season Pass Tour Packs...

Bought 2 double fame booster packs...

Used the free boosters as well...

Just have Horsepower and #Unite In Speed remaining....

Only at Level 61... Renault is at Level 66.... Damn... Still have a long way to go

I'm having fun though.

@TokoTurismo, it seems you haven't encountered The Driveclub Thread's very own downhill specialist, let's tango shall we?, :sly:
Here's how it all starts; I start talking smack then I get beaten horribly...
