I .. I don't know whats happening. This is some wierd twilight zone shit here.
Hold me.
I'd like to know what reference are you using to say all that about DC.
Because even if an opinion is an opinion, what you just said is objectively wrong.

Have no interest in racing games and will probably never buy the full version, but will try a free demo and who knows maybe it will convert me.
Friend and I both played the game for hours. Both hated it. I'd take NFS Rivals over it easily and that was a pretty weak racing game.
The cult of DriveClub is equally weird to me. I don't get the game at all, sorry. I really thought it would click more after positive GAF post-patch impressions.

Bleh ..
It's a subscription perk which is understood to be part of the value proposition for which you hand over the money for that subscription.
I'm interested in playing a demo. I might be interested in the full game, but damned if I know.
Don't make me break out the Vegas Spa analogy again.
This. I wish to make an informed purchasing decision.

I mean, I get that the game is not for everyone. It's just how you articulated and came to the conclusion of why you dont like it.

Well when movies get removed from the service I don't throw a hissy fit that's for sure. Especially with so many other movies. Or if I was that upset, I'd cancel my service I guess

They should just give the game away on PS Plus now, it's been way to long a wait. I was day 1 NO regrets
lol
I feel like you're describing a completely different game lol. Firstly Driveclub isn't a sim, it's far from unwieldy, in-fact, as someone who plays all manner of racing games, I'd say the vehicles in DC are actually the opposite of unwieldy, and instead mostly very planted, forgiving and precise. Jump from pretty much any sim racer to DC and that much is clear after the very first turn. Secondly, I'd argue that Driveclub has among the best sense of speeds of any motorsports racer. Not sure how you could think otherwise on that one.
haha mad about video games
Makes sense to me and my friend agreed 100%.
It's seemingly the most traded in game in the country. Even this year post server issues. Checking NZ EB seems to show a similar situation. ($18 and $23 pre owned respectively). It's clearly not clicking with down under folks, that's one of the biggest bombas I've ever seen.
Like I said, it's in some weird zone between sim and arcade that feels like a poor compromise between both sub genres.
Definitely.
See guys, another case of demand falling off a cliff in NZ.
just kidding, although the used prices are much higher here in France.
Unlike oconomoyaki's "I've seen it in stores!", you can easily check online and see it's nationwide pricing. Not anecdotal, as far as I can tell from online numbers it's the fastest a game has ever dropped in preowned pricing. Down to sub-$20 in six months.

Here's an image I was sent a few months back. It wasn't the only copies of DC they had.

Agreed. I found it to be real average.
Honestly, Forza, GT, even other simcade racers, I feel like the low and mid tier cars are especially slow feeling, and even the faster cars don't feel quite hyperdrive break neck till you get in to the Formula stuff. It's generally very different in Driveclub, because of the exaggerated vehicle and suspension feedback, the narrow roads, the constant elevation changes etc, Driveclub feels more like a mix of Wipeout and a traditional racing game than it does most sim or simcade racers. Hell, I'm playing Project Cars now, and I've had to put world movement and high speed shake on to max settings, just to get the game to feel remotely as fast or visually threatening as Driveclub.
Nah I bought it and played and I even liked it for a while but the connectivity issues were just a joke and I was so frustrated by it for so long that I ended up not even wanting to try anymore. Sold it on since and am now happily enjoying Project Cars.
So I'm not worked up. Just not interested anymore
Exactly!
And it's that thrilling sense of speed that makes me come back to drive a few laps almost daily, since release.
People can think DC is average or handles bad or whatever, but saying it has a weak sense of speed is just plain nonsense.

If you got it for Driveclub you wouldve gotten it the day Driveclub was released on PS Plus.
Otherwise why would you put that money towards the service and not towards just buying the full game?

Protip: play the game with the Redline OST in the background. Soooooooo good and heartpumping

I cant believe that someone else cant believe that some people refused to buy the game before getting what they were promised out of principal.
Moving on, I am looking forward to this but not holding my breath (Sooony). If the game is fun for me, I'll buy it after I play it.

People would still moan as then it would only be available to those that had PS+ during that month whereas the PS+ version would be available whenever people signed up after its release. They promised a PS+ version and that is what they should deliver. If Sony decide to release the full game on PS+ it should come after the PS+ version is released.
This.
Looks like we found the next thread to hate on Driveclub in.
I really like the "weak sense of speed" quote. You don't like the game? Fair enough. But quotes like that just make people think you've never played it.
I think the biggest backlash this game is going to receive is from the people who didn't want to play that game that much in the first place but were interested as it was free and now have leeched on to the hate train.
These people will go into the PS+ edition with an already negative attitude and remember that they don't play racing games much and just continue to hate on the game: "I waited a year for this piece of trash!?"
Racing fans will love it as long as you're not looking for a sim. But also if you're a racing fan, I'm not sure why you haven't bought it already.

Driveclub's speed sense made me switch from my go-to first person view to behind the car, I can't handle that shit in that view.
Are you sure you played Driveclub?

Good luck finding it as the retail version has been discontinued per Gamestop.

Not actually that important
That'd be really embarrassing for Sony, don't see it happening

at this point, i dont even understand why they are doing a "playstation plus edition"...just give us the whole game.
I see it as a June PS+ addition, get it out of the way of E3 so they can talk about Season 2 for Driveclub and maybe a bonus to those that already own the game. but really people should just buy the game if they like racers. Driveclub is awesome and definitely worth getting the season pass for.
I wanted to try it before to see if I liked it or not.
I technically didn't buy ps+ since I got a one month subscription with my purchase of the PS4, but i did activate it in hope of trying DC (and playing destiny) and once that run out I didn't feel the need to extend it.

Threads about Driveclub Ps+ version are a lot of entertainment Lmaooooooooo. I wonder if some of these ppl have even seen Driveclub even on youtube. Not to talk about playing it. Only in this kinds of thread will you see comments like "Driveclub has bad sense of speed" Sorry it's "weak sense of speed"
I bought it during Gamestop sale and played for about an hour before I became busy with work. I need to get back to the game because I enjoyed what little I played. I have been playing PCars on my PC lately, though, so I might have to get done with it before going back to both Horizon 2 and Driveclub.
Yeah, just give away the full game as a PS+ game and move on. It's such a waste of time and effort to even put together a trial game or whatever. It's not going to enough copies of the full game to be worth it. Sony should steer as far as possible from Driveclub at E3. Why even dredge up the memory of that burning clown car of a release? It would be like MS going out of the way to remind people of the MCC release disaster at E3.
