DriveClub is a good game, definitely worth the money - but I have a sneaking suspicion that we are going to see the full game (rather than a PS+ edition) added to PS+ in a few months. Unless you are a fan of driving games, I would wait.

It is worth buying now and not waiting for a possible ps+ release. Handling in rain and snow makes it difficult. Really loving this game.

Well I'm enjoying it much more than I expected. The sense of speed is great compared to a lot of other racers.

Picked up Driveclub this evening, while I am not blown away by it, it seems to be a solid game now with very well done driving mechanics, well worth €25 anyway and the graphics at times are breathtaking.

Picked up drive club as well, barely played it but seems fun so far. Is there a boards club to join? Seems some cars are tied to clubs to unlock, or am i misinterpreting that?

Clubs are limited to 6 members. Some cars are tied to your Club's level. As you level up your driver, if you are a member of a club, it levels that up too.

So is DriveClub more like Forza, Need for Speed, Gran Turismo or what? Or a mixture of them all?

You'll be a nervous wreck by the halfway point in the game. If you're not already, play while wearing headphones.

The slightest sound will set you on edge.

I feel like it's less like Forza or Gran Turismo and more like Project Gotham Racing. I think there's a much better sense of speed in DriveClub. Arcadey though. It's not a sim racer. And there's a bit of rubber-banding going on, but it's not offensive. Everything I've won hasn't been by very much, and if I screw up and crash I can still catch up to the pack that was just behind me. Customisation is also minimal, only a few cosmetic colour and design changes, nothing else that I can see.

I've started playing it with all of the HUD turned off and I'm enjoying it even more. Very happy with it, especially at 25 quid.

nearly had a heart attack when i looked at a door and i seen a light moving. turned out to be a lighbulb and not someone moving a torch!

Grahamer666 · 16-01-2015 03:25PM

Think i'm gonna have to go for Driveclub myself even though noone on my friends list has it i think. It looks amazing and you can't go wrong for 25euro.

Ardennes1944 · 16-01-2015 03:39PM

Also, does anyone find the battery for the controller crap? I seem to get one or two nights gaming and it needs to be recharged

Yea, it's terrible. I only usually get about 4 hours out of mine. Bought a second one to make things easier.

Ardennes1944 · 16-01-2015 03:46PM

How can they make things to crap its ridiculous

Grahamer666 · 16-01-2015 03:49PM

Even dimming the light bar makes no difference.

As the light is only an LED nobody should expect it to make a difference.

If you're being genuine then it would seem that you've got a faulty controller.
Battery life is not great at all, but it'll last much longer than 4hrs of constant use - easily.

Well not easily, but it will

Whats out on PS4 between now and the order? Not interested in saints row unless its a good price.

.G. · 16-01-2015 09:47PM

The Dualshock 3 battery fits into the DS4 and its higher capacity. There's a how to vid somewhere, I saw it on one of these threads.

How long is Driveclub on sale for?

It's for this reason I got a second. I normally have one charging with my phone charger while using the other. Definitely appears to have a short life and maybe it's a combination of light bar & speaker.

It's for the week. So it should reset on Wednesday I guess.
