At this point they might as well give us the full retail edition.
Also this.

They should put the full game on PS+. Problem solved.
This is gold. I applaud you greatly. I shall name my next agar.io bubble after you in your honor.

To those of you saying Sony should give away the full game, what of the people that already purchased the full game?
that could be said about all PS + games
I dont get shit all when a game I bought goes 'free' on PSN+, why should Driveclub owners?
You sure you're not confusing frame rate with graphics? I don't own forza 5 but I dohorizon 2 and DRIVECLUB both of which run at 30 and DRIVECLUB blows horizon 2 out of the water so I really doubt forza 5 looks better
Discount the season pass and refund current owners of it the difference
Ryan McCaffrey?
Have those "coming soon" labels been there since October?
I bought the game full price October last year. If they now want to give it away for free on PS+ then sure, why not. The game has already dropped in value significantly and I've gotten my playtime out of it.

I bought the full game. I am a few stars away from finishing it. I think it's a great game that deserves all the love. Give it in its entirety and stop focusing on dividing a product that's already divided by Season Pass and DLCs. No need to be salty over a last year title being free*.
In fact, this may sell people on getting the Season Pass instead of playing a few events and saying "I'm satisfied". I stopped playing the game after winning the first championship (Rookie?). I came back to it after all the patches and free DLC, and I'm practically done getting stars and unlocking all the free* Tours.
I think giving the full package is the only way to do justice to the game. Sell them on Season Pass. Sell them on Ultimate Editions. Give the vanilla away.
I would definitely love free Season Pass but the only way they can do it right is by going by the date of purchase.

So this will be free for PS+ members, right?

Give the season pass free to them. And if they bought that then get a season pass 2.0 free for them.

No, not really. If you bought a full game because a slightly large demo didn't exist, that would have been fairly foolish. I wouldn't see it as any different to any other full retail game being on PS+.
I think it's moot anyway as the fact the Plus version has been patched is pretty telling.
No, they waren't.
Does sound promising then.
So you bought the full version instead of the demo and feel you should compensated? Lol

Glad to see this is finally going to hit, but this getting delayed like 7+ months still just feels like they delayed it to avoid conflicting with the full title's sales, and that they never intended to launch it day and date.
I'm actually surprised, considering the dev team has been trimmed to basically a game-as-service group, that they don't just make the PS+ version free-to-play, give it to everyone free, and sell cars and liveries individually, similar to DOA5.

They did intend it, it even released in Hong Kong on the same day, but the servers were so terrible they had to pull it as it couldn't even handle the number of people who bought the full game.
The intentions were right, it was just a massive cock up.

I've only seen Driveclub live at those PS4 demo kiosks they have in stores. The game itself is only a demo version. So I'd assume an early version? Because it doesn't look great. At all. Forza isn't a looker either, that's the point.
But again, this is a demo kiosk demo version. I'm assuming the final game looks better.
It's not like they are even remotely similar tho
You son't sell DC to a sim fan, same for someone who prefers arcade racing games

Of course it's coming. They even said it in the latest patch notes
"preparing servers for the PS+ version" or something like that
The interesting question is how long is Sony going to offer the PS+ version. Just one month like every PS+ game or lifetime so new and old PS+ users can download it when ever they want (aka F2P)? Would be silly to just have it for one month available after all the stress and work Evo went through to get this shit out
And I would bet Sony is gonna make a big fuss about it at E3 and everyone will laugh at them and the shit will backfire hard to them because gamers are a bunch of ungrateful jerks lol

They're not going to highlight how badly they fucked up Drive Club during their E3 conference. Because that's what an "It's available now!" would do. It only took them a year and a half, but here it is! No. Before E3. Maybe announced with the June PS+ games.
From OP's video, it looks like it now gets 15 cars (instead of 10 initially, they've added access to the Audi A1 Quattro, the Lotus Evora S, the Alfa Romeo 4c, the Marussia B2 and the Koenigsegg Agera R), and offers full access to the Startline Tour, which features additional cars and locations (the Welcome to Driveclub event makes you race a Mercedes GTS in Norway, for example).
They still want you to buy the game, though, so they'll bring the petits fours to get you seated, but don't expect them to pay you the whole dinner.
Given it's just a big demo, lifetime access makes more sense.
Lol! Sounds like him
On topic, I hope the PS+ version drops soon for folks who haven't had a chance to play it. DC is a great game with incredible graphics and is simply fun to play.
Just load up any one of the countless online gameplay videos from the game, on to your TV to see how it might look for you, and judge for yourself. Kiosks are usually always set up in the most awful ways, sometimes with older builds of games to boot.
that's right, and there are some more differences. For example now the game says it's the Ps plus edition, the october build it was just like the retail game, but with locked content. The multi, create club, challenges were unlocked in october, as you can verify from his profile page http://psnprofiles.com/trophies/2924-DRIVECLUB/odytsak but now they have the "coming soon" label. He can no longer join his own club.

Pretty sure it's on sale on PSN at the moment (At least in the UK) for £15. If you've waited this long and want to play it, then that really doesn't seem like a bad price.
I don't think it's a demo, it's the full game but with less content (at least if it's still what they originally said it was going to be). If I remember correctly, you can even platinum the game in the 'Free' version.

Got the game for free and found it pretty awful. Glad I didn't waste the time downloading it.
If you're really desperate for the game it's incredibly cheap second hand so might as well pay a few dollars and get the full features. But again wouldn't recommend it.
e: yeah it's $18 used lol

After the first delay DC was dropped as a IGC title. Before the launch in Oct/Nov? Sony said the PS+ edition would be available over the Christmas period to download.
