Sébastien Loeb Rally EVO (PS4/XB1/PC) - Milestone

[stevefoz]

The PS4 special edition includes 5 DLCs'. Made a video slowing all the cars and track available on each DLC. (Pre-ordered my digital copy on PS store a couple of days before the game was released in Europe on the 29th of Jan.)

I bought the special edition also but I seem to only have 3 dlc's I am missing the prototypes and the rally cross dlc's.
I'm also on ps4 just checked psn and the other two pack are not even there.

So the dlc is already out, and comes with the game?

Just tried the PS4 demo and I'm not really convinced yet. The wheel weight remains really low and there is no way to adjust it. FFB itself is ok-ish, but nothing more.
What also annoyed me is that in the close cockpit view, you have no speed, rev counter or gear indicator.

For the rest I think there is fun to be had with the extended career, but the above cons spoil the fun a bit.

In the full game you have speed, rev counter and gear indicator in that view.

Clearly he has access to things prerelease.

If SLRE's idea of 4 DLC packs in the season pass is prototypes, rallycross, and the 3 preorder Pikes Peak cars, then the season pass is even more of a rip off than I thought possible

 

[doblocruiser]

If that's the case I completely agree with you

1- Check your downloads queue on the ps store (on the web).
2- disbale then enable ur ps4 as primary
3- restore licenses from the ps4 settings.
I pre-ordered the special edition 2 days before it was released (doubt this makes any difference)

Also check your add-ons in related items before you start the game

Special edition has 5 DLCs' no idea if the dlc can be bought speratley but my guess is that this is possible. See also below

The normal edition on the PS4 comes with two DLCs' or packs if you will. (Renault 5 Turbo and one of the Pikes peak packs). At least this was the case when pre-ordering.

This is confusing

Nicely the final game has a patch as well and the ff has been fixed nicely, I play soft with the t300 with ff 65 and fx 20 you can try if you have the same model a 75 25 it works great with all cars, but some are pretty hard and some a bit loose like the old mini cooper. Also you will like to have a short range of degree like about 400 on the steer

At what degree is your wheel on? Just tried 540 degrees with 65 ffb (was on 585 deg.) and it is OK but not perfect as shown in the video. Also read that some people set it at 360 degrees and they are happy.

I have not bought the season pass.

This is confusing, since my understanding of the special edition is that it's the full game plus season pass.

The whole point of a season pass is getting future DLC as it's released. If it's all available from day 1 then it really is a pure cash grab (normally DLC content is stuff which either hasn't been created or is in an early or rough quality level at launch and they polish it up to deliver in a DLC pack).

Anyway, I have the special edition on PS4, and indeed only have Pikes Peak gravel layout plus the three extra Pikes Peak cars... so I'll see if this works for me. Although the procedure sounds like you are triggering the DLC in an unintended way.

There definitely hasn't been any officially released other than the initial pikes peak pack so it's clearly glitching it in some way. Hopefully we won't be waiting too long then if it all appears to be ready.

(Remember that I pre-ordered the game).
This procedure does work if for some reason you are missing some content bought from the Psn. Just noticed it says + season pass (my bad... bad memory here).

Yes, the PSN website shows that text as well: "Buy the Special Edition and obtain the Full Game + Season Pass with 5 DLCs and 24 events"

Interestingly the Steam website Special Edition text shows only 4 DLC packs: http://store.steampowered.com/app/355060/
However the Steam site doesn't list the Renault 5 Turbo+ full dirt Pikes Peak pack, which might indeed mean that Milestone are even more busy with a crude money grab than I expected.

For the PS4, I was expecting the day one DLC to count as a single entry in the Season Pass, with 4 more packs to come. If the Renault 5 Turbo, Peugeot 405 T16 and Suzuki Escudo each with the very same full dirt Pikes Peak, each offered as a preorder bonus, count as 3 DLC packs for the purposes of the Season Pass then I think everyone can agree with my sentiment that Milestone are not giving us remotely acceptable value for money on the promise of 5 DLC packs. I'm sure many would go further and use less friendly words for it.

The Special Edition costs €25 on top of the standard game, and if that comes out at the extra Pikes Peak dirt layout, 3 Hillclimb specials, 2 EVO class rally cars and the Hell Rallycross track, 4 Prototypes... That's.... depressing.... Makes me feel like a complete idiot for trusting Milestone on this.


It also means Codemasters are idiots, since PC owners of DiRT Rally are going to be getting the full dirt Pikes Peak layout and Peugeot 208 T16 along with a bunch of other cars for free soon. That's the equivalent of >€15 in Milestone cash-grab terms!

Bought it this afternoon, and indeed, it feels so much better than the demo

 

[stevefoz]

It's seems I'm not the only one with this problem, I have tried to renew licenses, disabled and re enabled ps4 and still no luck.
The special edition says nothing about pre order bonus, as some of the screenshots show above it offers a season pass 5 dlc's and 24 events, the missing dlc's are not even on the store to buy.
I have tried to contact Milestone but I won't hold my breath on a response.

 

[doblocruiser]

@EmArA Do you have the 24 extra events available in careermode ?

 

[stevefoz]

@EmArA Do you have the 24 extra events available in careermode ?

To be honest I'm not sure but this is the downloads that I believe we should have got with the special edition.
I got 3 of these, I didn't get the rallycross pack or the class S prototypes

 

[doblocruiser]

We'll see how that will be sorted out!

 

[EmArA]

@EmArA Do you have the 24 extra events available in careermode ?

Have no idea tbh. I will double check anyways.

From what I read on Twitter, the Renault 5 Turbo is PS4 exclusive.

Understood.

My point was that a Season Pass with 5 DLC packs on the PS4 and only 4 DLC packs on Steam implies that the three launch day Pikes Peak combos count as 3x DLC packs.

Usually a Season Pass runs for months, some even last 6 months. You expect DLC packs arriving over time. Calling this a Season Pass for which 3/5 of the "content" is launch day packs with heavy overlap is taking the p#%$.

Ah well, we shall see what happens.

This encapsulates what is wrong with gaming this generation. When you spend more time debating about pre-order bonuses, season pass and DLCs than the actual game itself, you know something is messed up. How hard is it for developers to put everything that's ready on the disc from Day 1, and whatever comes after as DLC. Save pre-order bonuses for actual physical trinkets (not in-game content). Scrap season pass for a "Complete Edition" release once all DLCs are out.

I know developers need to make money, but this is just ridiculous.

It also means Codemasters are idiots, since PC owners of DiRT Rally are going to be getting the full dirt Pikes Peak layout and Peugeot 208 T16 along with a bunch of other cars for free soon. That's the equivalent of >€15 in Milestone cash-grab terms!

Pssstt!! Don't give them any ideas

Well yes Jim, but it's been a trend in almost every game released since the late PS3 era, and it's looking to get worse and worse. I'm just sick of having to keep up with every little piece of news about DLC or pre-orders in the fear of missing out on content. Ideally, we wouldn't even need to be having this discussion in the first place, won't you agree?

But anyway, I don't want to derail the thread any further. And I know how much you love your rally games, so your tolerance for such practices may differ

 

[Legro]

Class S - The Prototypes:

• The Opel Astra 4S

Astra? The Vauxhall was called Astra, but I'm quite sure that after modelling the thing they should know that the Opel was still Kadett.

Sorry man, I'm afraid that I can't agree.

There are plenty of games that have been transparent about what will get released as a pre-order bonus. Resellers like Game and Amazon also have offered exclusive DLC for certain games which invariably becomes available later on as DLC for the players not in that part of the world (in some cases) so I tend not to get upset by what will or won't be appearing. I support what I like and ignore the rest.

 

[skazz]

The whole point of a season pass is that you don't have to worry about tracking DLC, it will just come to you. Games like Forza and Driveclub have added a lot of value in their Season Passes (at least 6 months of DLC post-release, with a big price reduction over buying all of the DLC separately), so that's my benchmark.

Don't get me wrong, I like SLRE for what it does deliver, and I went into this knowing full well that Milestone are not big on post-release updates. I was just surprised by how minimal the Season Pass content appears to be, and that all of it appears to be ready at launch.
