The last time that I saw this thread, it was in a state of despair, and that was about a month ago. Now I see you guys are getting excited. I noticed something about Driveclub VR, but that can't be the sole reason. What did I miss? :odd:
 
This news made my day :) The only curious thing is that Rushy would still tweet announcements about the game. Unless he's doing so under the direction of Sony.

True, I just thought he was acting like a proud father. From other reply tweets recently though, it seems that Sony have had the Evo team also working on DCVR after the closure. The tracks were all but done I gather at that time as was DCVR but Sony have hired them to complete the job (I'm reading between the lines there a bit, I know.)

The DC twitter is pretty barren at the moment too late. Annoyingly. :lol:

Yeah, they remain stoically silent. Rushy is still doing far more to promote anything DC related and he doesn't work for Sony anymore (well, outside of occasional contract work that is) Still, it is his baby.
 
How I read this news about the five tracks: these will become available in the current Driveclub version as "normal" trcks. The VR version will become a "new" game we need to buy including these five tracks. Agree or disagree?

Driveclub:VR will be a full prized game and it is currently not completely clear if owners of Driveclub:VANILLA will be able to get a reduction.

The tracks will be released freely to Driveclub:VANILLA and those new tracks will also be included if you buy Driveclub:VR
 
Well, I just unlocked the LaFerrari and I'm loving it! Particularly, in this gorgeous matte gold paint I came up with. So far, everything is going good, but the Ferrari FXX and FXX-K are giving me some serious competition. On sprint tracks, it's very hard to catch up with them on higher difficulties - which is a good thing, but the gap between them and the rest of the pack is astounding.
 
Yeah, with the higher difficulties and those cars, I tend to not even try anymore as I lack the focus for that level of racing. You don't have it set to hardcore do you - I know that adds an almost un-achievable layer of difficulty to it all (or was it that with hardcore getting the three star time is extremely difficult?) In any case, thought it worth the mention.

No, I didn't select Hardcore. I'm used to chasing down One:1s, but having these Ferraris miles ahead of the pack is surprising.

At a guess it's a club badge which should be replicable from the design elements you unlock as you progress. Look in your club badge section and see if you've unlocked all the elements yet - you'll probably need to do some club challenges though to unlock some of the stuff.

EDIT: if you don't have a club yet and there's none available to join, create a second account on your PS4 and invite it to join your club.
 
I think it's great there's still enthusiasm for Driveclub. I had it from day one but being more of a sim racer, I didn't really max the game content out but I always felt it was a shame to not spend as much time on this because it is such a highly produced game, it deserved more time.

Then they released the hardcore driving mode and this game came alive for me, now I find myself firing the game up just to do time trials. The handling now, whilst not sim, is good enough to give a nice level of feel and a very enjoyable driving experience. It reminds me of a better version of the old Project Gotham, a cross between arcade and semi realistic driving.

My only problem is what can I do with hardcore mode? There doesn't seem to be any events for it online of offline? It seems to me that if you use hardcore on the offline events, the ai are still in the normal mode, and the same online. I've raced online in hardcore but everyone else seems to still be in the original mode so it's too big a disadvantage for me.

That's a shame because hardcore mode could really have re-vitalised the game for a lot of us.
 
Hardcore mode applies to the AI as well, that I can say with absolute confidence. However, the lighter cars, such as the Caterham 500RS, absolutely destroys the competition in hardcore mode, making races where the AI uses those near impossible.

Get rid of the penalties, make your lap time invalid when you hit a wall, and make a separate challenge system for Hardcore mode, and you have yourself a worthwhile addition to the game. Until such a thing were to happen, hardcore mode will remain pointless.

I hate those penalties for hitting the wall, it feels so out of place in the game.

I was thinking maybe we should have a big GTP Driveclub meet soon, the new tracks will becoming soon and it would be good to get some races going since we've never really managed to have a big meet-up.

I'm all for it. I remember I tried to do it with my lobby series, but it didn't pan out that well in the long run. Maybe you'll have more success than I had! :lol:

Same here. Haven't been on in a long time but this could very much interest me starting the game up again.

Really? I always though the ai drive slower in hardcore mode but I guess they really don't.

I notice they often brake much earlier than I do. When they all bottleneck into a corner, I just drift around them on the outside of the turn. :)

I want photos of that, sounds epic!

I was doing that a ton last night in a Viper. It's an amazing feeling to just turn and hit the gas, then pull off a huge slide around everything. I'll try to get a replay and make a new YouTube account in the future.

Great thanks for clarifying that. Hardcore is still useless online though because there are no dedicated lobbies where everyone has to be using that mode?

When I race online I seem to be the only one using hardcore mode which is obviously pointless as it's too much of a disadvantage, but its the hardcore handling that has turned me back on to the game
