To be fair, what little I've played so far of the single-player has the AI crash-kiddying around. Not to the degree of the people who play the game like it's a demolition derby, but I've had numerous instances where the AI makes no effort to not ram into me. The AI isn't exactly setting an example by driving clean and avoiding collisions.
No. Coming soon means soon.

Hrmm. Will continue to be skeptical until I have it dl'd.
I must admit I'm absolutely furious with Sony.
I heard about the PS+ version of #DRIVECLUB a few years ago now so I rushed to buy a PS+ subscription.
I also bought a PS4 on release, even though it had no games (and still doesn't) to play this demo.
I think at this point, Sony should probably give everyone the full game, the season pass, and possibly $100 of PSN credit to make up for their dishonest promises.

So it would seem the only saltier place on GAF than a "Where is the Driveclub PS Plus edition" thread is a "The Driveclub PS Plus edition is finally coming" thread.
I still don't buy the argument that people bought a PS4 and PS plus and have gotten absolutely no value out of it SOLELY because this tiny fraction of a game never came out, particularly given the value of Sony's giveaways in 2014 totaled over 1300 dollars. It's just an absurd notion.

I genuinely thought this real, that's what some of these posts are like.
Couldn't you have returned your PS4 and ask a refund for the PS+ sub?
Also lol at your suggestion. Parody right? Weird enough that you'd rush to buy a console for a demo and then after keeping your console not even purchase the game that you were seemingly looking forward to so much.

While I do think Sony should offer something as a goodwill gesture (some more cars/tracks and it sounds like they may be doing so), I think you're being just a tad entitled here (especially with that 100 dollar credit). And to be clear, that "just a tad" was said in a very facetious tone.
Hell, if they want to turn this around from a Sony really f*cked up on this one to Sony really cares and actually making people happy, they'd give the game and rely on us buying DLC if we liked it to make sales on it. But giving the game would be an above and beyond (but would certainly go a long way in making it feel like they care and that they really want people to think well of them).
(Yes, free Drive club is above and beyond but if you really want to make loyal customers that keep coming back, sometimes going above and beyond when you f*cked up does a lot more than just never f*cking up even).
And yes, I do think Sony should at least offer a token of good will. No, this wasn't free. It was supposed to be a perk of subscribing to their paid service. One that some people never even got cause it was so delayed it went past their subscription date. Hell, I had 2+ years of PS+ when it originally was supposed to come out (when the PS4 did) and I'm starting to think I won't see it (I still got over a year left but I'm not sure I'm renewing honestly. And stuff like this is one reason why but to be honest it's not the main reason). No, I don't think they did it on purpose, but on purpose or not, they f*cked up and they really should offer a token for the fact they f*cked up on this one. And if the original post to this is right, I get the feeling Sony agrees as it seems they are adding some more cars and tracks if I read it right.

Should be canceled.
Haha, I apologize. Considering some of the posts here were somewhat similar and serious, I initially considered this to be a serious post as well.
If I had purchased Driveclub, I would be very annoyed if they'd do what you suggest. (Full game being free, being completely devalued for those who purchased it)
A trial/F2P version of a game got delayed. That's it. Just like retail games get delayed, this F2P version of Driveclub got delayed as well. It happens. (might update post with thoughts outlined later, on tablet at the momemt)

I know they won't do this, but I think it will be really cool if you download the PS+ Edition of Driveclub and the game can see if you purchased the disk version. If you have, it would then upgrade the PS+ Edition to the full version.

One more drink, PS+ Edition FULL VERSION.
You'll be "absolutely furious" with more than just Sony pretty soon. >_<
speaking of no games, I wonder what the hell is all these game boxes are, piled up in front of me...as well as the shit that is taking up all my hard drive space. Damn these nonexistent entities.
It still is free, it's just not available yet.
Oh, I hope you aren't one of the people who (wrongly) think Sony promised the full game would be free to PS+...
You think it's disgusting when things get delayed?
A bit weird imo, but to each their own.

I'd say less absurd than quoting that number which is 100% PR-spin and even less relevant if you only own a PS4.
That's almost Zen.
"If a game is released on PS+, and no-one's able to download it, does it cost a cent?"
no, just one who has a weird definition of "disgusting".
on topic though, it seems they are still going to use the India Track to showcase the game...which is fine, because it can look Amazingly Beautiful. BUT if they just use the first race we all played when we got the game (same setting as well) without polishing up the graphics... I don't think that would be wise.
there have been patches since release that have improved the image quality of the whole game...so it should be fine... but I just don't put little details like this past people in a hurry to do their specific job.
You sound so genuine in your disgust.

You think the PS+ edition is less than 19 gigs ? LOL

You didn't wait to get what they promised you. You still probably got the PS+ discount if you bought the game (or cheaper since you can find it cheaper than the discount if you buy retail... which is total BS if you ask me. One of the perks of hte membership is good sales/deals. Not so good when I can find retail cheaper).
You got to enjoy the game for months and months now.
And it didn't just get delayed once. It got delayed several times. They didn't evne bother to tell us they were delaying it the day it was supposed to finally come out. We just realized it when it wasn't showing up. I think they took a few days to say anything.
Yes, if it was a small delay or even if it came out whent he game came out, I'd agree with you. But they really majorly screwed the pooch on this one (They delayed it and it still wasn't ready to come out when they brought it out. Hell, it's been 6+ months now since the game came out and it was already a year or so late when it came out at that point! Even Witcher 3 didn't take that long of a delay and they got delayed at least twice! And I'm going to bet that's a much larger and more complicated (RPG with several elements) game).
Just because you decided to go ahead and buy it and not hold them to their word is no reason Sony shouldn't try to offer something more to those of us who waited. If you're pissed off about it, then be pissed off at yourself that you decided to buy it anyways (because yes, companies do sometimes actually do stuff like that as a token of good faith so if it really would have made you wait instead you decided to take the risk and buy it and not wait). I mean I don't get pissed off when they offer a game I already bought on PS+, that was my own risk I took for buying it (like Unit 13 or Killzone Mercenary). I actually give them kudos for giving away a good game on PS+ (especially when they rarely do anymore). Not to mention I at least own those games and don't need to keep resubscribing to play them (even if they give us the full game it's only for as long as we pay for PS+, so it's not really free. You at least now own it and don't have to worry about being subscribed to play it).

I'm not saying I've been bamboozled but it's bullshit that it's been delayed this long. You might have a point about things getting delayed if the full retail version hadn't been available for months by now. People are rightfully complaining that something they were promised has been delayed for a very prolonged period of time, with little to no explanation as to why.
Even if it's not the ONLY reason someone signed up for a service, it's their right to complain that part of the service they were promised has been absent for so long.

I subbed to ps+ for this title, at this point I'm not really sure I really care about the title anymore. The terrible launch, shitty communications and excuses from Sony and the dev sour the excitement around the title.
It should probably be the full gane at this point given how they handled everything

One of the worst posts I've seen in a while. But then again I don't normally read Driveclub PS+ threads because it's full of shitposts like that.
Thank you. Honestly the delay isn't what pisses me off about this whole thing (it's annoying and I think Sony should give us extra sure. But it's not rant inducing piss me off). it's the people getting pissed off cause people dare be upset about this and trying to tell them they are being unreasonable or that it's their fault for not just buying the game. People have every right to be upset about this. I don't think it's unreasonable to ask Sony to give a little extra after how long it has taken (6 months from release and that's after the 1 year delay from the original date).

Huh? The base game is 19 gigs.
And a post that doesn't even bother to contribute anything other than to be insulting is a post that contributes anything?
If you don't like the post, either discuss what you don't like. If you don't think it's worth even discussing, then ignore it. But to complain about it being a sh**post while not even contributing anything to the discussion is kinda hypocritical.

So a while back when Evo was hit with layoffs. I remember reading that they are going forward with Driveclub as a service.
What are the chances that the new PS+ version will give players the ability to unlock whatever they want instead of forcing you to buy the whole game?
You can just unlock the cars you want, the maps you want etc. All in the form of micro-transactions of course, which I'm sure would piss some people off, but this is just a what if.

They're increasing the number of available cars from 10 to 15.
And they're offering 11 tour events (15 events) from 6 locations in lieu of 5 tour events (6 events) from 1 location.
I think that's their token of good will (alas for you, no Lamborghini to be found in this selection).
People expecting Sony to release the full game for free on PS+ are simply dreaming.

Would you rather it was released in a broken state like the MCC? Y'know, the game you were predicting would outsell the current gen GTA.

The base game (minus DLC) would be great for a PS+ IGC offering.
The season pass DLC would still be an option to purchase, and a second season of content would be available to a larger pool of players. Its also simpler in that there would be only the one version of the game to support.
Of course they'd have to have solved the server capacity issues, but that's something that has to happen regardless if DC is to have any real future.
And the PS+ Edition is a locked version of the full game, so it'll weigh 19 gigs, too.
Yup. If the servers collapse again, I think Evo won't ever get another chance.

It's a terrible argument. It's no different then them not putting up a month of PS+ games and people saying no one should be mad because "Lol you probably just signed up for PS+ to play online anyway lol."
