Can pick the disc version of this up for the same price now - GAME had it for £20, and Tesco for £25 at the weekend.

For those that prefer to actually own something :smiley:

Use the money to purchase pornography and biscuits

You do realise that the cold button is there to suggest that the product is available for less elsewhere right? It's not actually there for you to state whether or not you like the product at all

Just so you know for the future and all that.

If you need a 14 day free trial then you can get one here but be warned as everybody only gets 1. :wink:

https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/#!/en-gb/monthly-games/cid=STORE-MSF75508-PLUSINSTANTGAME

So is this version exactly the same as the physical retail version?

So, wait.... If I purchase this upgrade, will it let me download Driveclub immediately? Or will I have to wait until they actually make the PSN plus version available?

Im slightly confused so please allow for my ignorance, is this the full game of driveclub for £19.99 or am I missing something? Getting confused with the upgrade bit...

I'm in the camp where it'll never come out for plus so why not for 20 quid

does this mean you need PS plus subscription to play it at all times, similar to PS plus games you get with it?

no as listed you only need PS plus to download it after that its yours to keep, PS plus or not.

sold!! And heat added!

how is the game doing a few months after release? Have £21 psn credit just waiting to be spent!

You will still need PlayStation Plus membership to play online though, correct?
I'm tempted, which is madness. The PlayStation Plus edition was supposed to be designed to tempt us into buying the full version, not the delay in providing it! :confused:

really good game.

Unfortunately, yes you do.

I like to 'own something', and I collect, so I tend to go for the disc versions when I can, that being said - I did succumb to the Battelfield + Premium for £20 on PSN over the January sales - That was way to good a deal to miss out on!


Fair enough - Just when I saw this, I was reminded of the prices I saw at the weekend is all and thought I'd shout up for those considering who might prefer the disc :smiley:

This thread suggests that PS+ will be free for everyone this weekend. I'm not sure if that will include the exclusive discounts though as it might just mean for online play.

http://www.hotukdeals.com/freebies/playstation-plus-ps4-free-january-16-18th-psn-2116315

Where's our 10% off code Sony!?

I think the PS+ edition is cancelled and they will offer the full game on PS+ in April or something, wouldn't make sense to do the PS+ edition now with these kind of prices unless the full game upgrade is sold for £5 or something

I hesistated buying this after the launch problems but since its been patched I'm loving it. Similar to PGR in racing style and car choices albeit you race in fantasy locations. Had some decent online play too.

Had this since launch and yes it had major problems but it's been my go to game for some time now. There's been afew ai tweaks, the penalty system adjusted, photomode and weather added as well as a hefty chunk of free DLC including cars, tracks, liveries and extra Tour events since launch. Online has been stable for a while now and is pretty addictive. Challenges can be intense too trying to beat another Clubs time by fine margins.

The sound is probably some of the best engine/exhaust notes ive heard in a game, the Zonda is phenomenal.

Looking forward to future updates especially for online private matches. For anyone on the fence and who was unsure after its rocky start, I have no problems recommending Driveclub now.

Has anyone bought this specific deal after op posted? I trust that it is correct but some evidence showing the full game becoming available for free would help before spending £20 :stuck_out_tongue:

Why April?

Great deal and a great game, have to say I feel a bit miffed though having bought this version at launch for £34.99, seems to have gone down fast. Would be much fairer IMHO if they offered some kind of incentive to those who shelled out for it at launch like say 50% off the season pass, would ultimately make them more money too while keeping those that already have it and those yet to buy it happy...

Just a random guess lol, I have no evidence whatsoever for this opinion but I just think Sony would be better giving it as a PS+ freebie which would 1) Repair the damage to their reputation that Driveclub has done 2) Offer new PS4 owners a reason to sign up to PS+ and 3) Give them a chance to make a bit of money on the game since there would be a whole new audience to start buying the DLC

Is that what that is? I bought TLoU again in December but I bought a US digital code so I thought it was a regional problem because it doesn't give me the New Game + option when I start the game. My online profile for the multiplayer carried over just fine though.

If it has let you download it at all then it definitely will work.

so if i buy it i cant play until this version is released in april or I'm reading the posts wrong?

Listen up, this is the full game. Buy it, it's good driving game- especially for this Price. Wish I didn't spend 35 though..

Comment

Really irritating as its so easy and seamless on xbox one going from disc to difital. Dont need to download the game again either.

this is confusing as hell lol is the full game free? is there any difference between the physical disk and this digital download? What would i be paying £20 if it is free? please help

That's because Xbox One has no regional checks whatsoever and whatever game you buy will be the same as the version from other regions. In fact, changing locale on your machine will force the console to start downloading language packs for your games from that region.

cheers

This is the game I have played most since getting a PS4 by a long, long way. And I own GTA5 and Destiny. Utterly brilliant if you join a club and get racing with your mates. Highly recomended.

Hmm Driveclub for £20 or Need For Speed Rivals for £8. Opinions ?

Downloaded and first race completed. It looks stunning and drives great.

What's the reason they discounted this game? Seems a bit random?

US PSN sale.

Fair point. Some of PSN friends do have this game but they bought it at launch and gave up on it unfortunately.

This game is decent but, only just. It's ironic that the thing was meant to be free when the ps4 was coming out, but now that it is popular, you have to buy plus and then pay 20 quid on top.

I don't know if it's sony whose a jackass or the people who buy this sort of thing. Myself included. At least I got my copy for free.

Has nothng to do with region checks. Even within the same region on psn, the digital copy and dosc copy are different games to sony.

This has worked out well for me.. I bought it a £35 but suffered all of the original faults, so managed to get a refund.. But the game stayed in my list and I have been able to play it for months, even though its not in my "library".

Got to say that its one of (if not) the best driving game I have EVER played (And I have played most)... THe new weather effects are gob-smacking.

I always knew I would have to buy it again, as I need to upgrade my HD and because its not in my library, I wouldn't be able to download it.. And now at £20 I jumped at it...

For £35 it was a fine game.. But for £20 its an absolute steal.. If you are remotely interested in driving games you should buy this.. You will NOT be disappointed.

I upgraded from my cod advanced warfare disc copy to digital in the Xmas sales and didn't lose my save so not sure why it would happen here. Just redownloaded my save from plus and bingo, worked fine.

Sorry, what I meant to say is that the internal game ID's are all the same on Xbox One (apart from a few) whereas Sony use different product codes for each region.

Just need a cheap price on Driveclub season pass now ;o)

Use the money to purchase pornography and biscuits

Tempted to get this.... does it actually have a campaign?

Good digital offer. Seeing as it's roughly the same price on disc I'll be getting that though. Gutted that I missed a special edition on eBay yesterday that sold at £20.

Loving the good reports this game is getting now.

No it hasn't.. Last months was not free.. They gave 2 extra "tours" because of the disasterous kick off.. But now you need a Season Pass to get the new Tours.

Ignition and Photo Finish were free and everyone got those.. But Redline and Elements (I think thats what they were called) are paid DLC.

I agree. My Ps4 was collecting dust before I took a punt on this. Briliiant game, very much like PGR.

sorry this is a bit off topic but were'nt we meant to get a 10% off code from PlayStation for the PSN outage over the holiday period? :neutral_face:

Ahhh fiddlesticks, guess i'll buy it now, cheers OP!:smile:

Great game, great price! Hope the launch problems didn't hamper sales to much. Would like to see a sequel.

This or need for speed rivals?

This is a great game, unfortunately due to he problems when it was first released the reputation was tarnished. Having had the full game since Xmas with everything working it's a really immersive game that makes you want to keep on playing! Well worth 19.99

At last that 25 quid on my psn account will finally be down to a fiver :smiley:

Whats the install size of this?

14.7gb it says on website

Disc versions are floating about at £22 which I'd rather pay for over a digital copy. I only recently picked the game up, bypassing the botched launch - gotta say it's one of my favourite discount-bought PS4 games. Addictive racing which isn't overtly simulation, but definitely not in the realm of arcade physics. I like it a lot, and visually it's one of the best racing games I've played.

Where it says

In-game purchases optional
1 player
Network Players 2-12 - Full game requires PlayStation®Plus membership to access online multiplayer

Can we play 2 players on the console at home or do you need a PS+ membership regardless for more than 1 player?

not all the dlc is free,one is 5 quid(red line i think.)
my only bugbear left with this game is the syncing to lobby between races,what should take a couple of seconds takes about a minute.that and the fact i get kicked out every few races.

Does anyone know of somewhere you can buy the code? As in, someone who got a bundle but might not want it?

Real tempted.

Ta

Is this anygood as a single player experience or is really only for online play ?

Is this defo the full game though? Looks a bit suss to me on the store.

Anyone got a US account? What's it going for on there? This might make me finally sign up for one if it's $19.99 or so. Presuming you can then use it with UK PS+ that is!

Does a disk version save file work on the digital version?

Fair enough but that sounds like a massive PITA to me.

For anyone debating between this and rivals, I'd recommend going for this although I haven't played it as I purchased rivals last week for 7.50 from tesco and to be honest I'm feeling ripped off lmao

Great price and a great game! I even bought the Season Pass which is also great value for what you'll get with it. The New Japan DLC will be launching this month too, Check out the Vid here for the latest Point to Point Track with the New Corvette C6 ZR1 - Your text here

I got my copy today (physical) and it is amazing!!!! It's harder than I thought it would be and I'm only just started. lol. Photo mode is class too!!! Loving it!

I picked up the digital copy of the game first time around at full price and sent it back.

Re-bought it a couple of weeks ago at £24, and it has improved greatly! For me, an extra £4 is worth it, I'm sure I can always get that £4 back if I sell it.

Just to clarify, can the single player campaign still be accessed if your psn+ account is not renewed?

I don't have any mates that play it but after the first race you can join a club. There is a lot of people that have a club and haven't even went past level 1 so join on anybody you want. You will make some mates in no time I guess

Comment PITA?

pain in the ar

Thanks for info on US store. Actually just saw a post on Sixth Axis of someone in US asking how to set up a UK account - that must be a first!

first rule of Driveclub is you do not talk about Driveclub :o)

need a new hard drive as mine is full !!

I payed £25 and originally thought it was a bargain....god awful game tho it has to b said.

When is it this price until? I'd like a day or so to mull it over.

Definitely gonna bite for £20. Thanks!

Easy I did it all in about half an hour.

Japan is coming as a new location, all tracks added post-release are free. As others mentioned there are also a couple of DLC packs they gave away for free too.

A lot of game for £20...paid £35 for digital at release and got my money's worth already. Even beyond the graphics (which are amazing) the handling is bang-on for me.

Hot.
Gutted I went for the xtra-vision £24.99 deal on Boxing Day now as it still hasn't turned up yet!

So I spent a while trying to get this download to work, but constantly got the Error CE-32928-4 Content already being downloaded.
I rebooted, and I kept re-checking the download list, nothing there, I tried restoring licenses, activating as primary ps4..nothing fixed it.

Eventually I went through the game data manager, and found the game data of driveclub from the cd version I played previously. deleted that, and it let me download the digital version.

So the error message was misleading, there was nothing in download list, but it was conflicting with game data from the disc version.

Is it likely to get cheaper for a download than this?.. I was gonna trade in some games in cex to get it cheaper but I like the fact of a download without the disc.

Ok thanks pal, may have to bite!

this game is stunning, just been playing and when it's raining the graphics are immense! it's quite hard too currently but sure it'll get easier in time

Brought this, really hope it doesn't become a free game on plus in a few months time.. Been waiting aged to get this but still got pes and for cry to work thru.. Good offer thom

How is Rivals £8 on the US store?!

Bought! Thanks for the heads up.

but is it actually any good chaps?

Ive read mixed reviews about this game. How does this compare to Forza? Just want to know from fellow hukd members experiences. I might just buy a PS4 for this game.

I upgraded from my cod advanced warfare disc copy to digital in the Xmas sales and didn't lose my save so not sure why it would happen here. Just redownloaded my save from plus and bingo, worked fine.

Just bought it, says being downloaded and won't let me initiate a download yet not in the notifications and download section so god knows what's going on. Tried turning off the console fully too. Still not happening

Yeah i have plus on my US account.

Drive Club is a great game. love the realistic graphics and the driving challenges. is all down to personal taste.

Got this last weekend with the Tesco bundle, I find it much more enjoyable than GT & Forza as it's less of a simulator & more arcadey which makes it more fun imo. Anyone wants to add me to race my psn is d_jsr !

I borrowed this at release and wasn't convinced but having bought now after been patched I have to say I think its brill. Certainly the best racing game on PS4. Reminds me of Project Gothem. Weather effects are great. Worth £20 for sure. I have owned Forza and GT games on previous consoles but got bored of the same race tracks being in each sequel this has only imaginary circuits and tracks and that's what really sells it for me.

Excellent price for an excellent game. I bought this last month on disc and with all the updates and free dlc. This a must purchase on the PS4.

as someone who didnt get into forza 2 on xbox 360, but loved the first Grid (PC), how would this fair?

Last serious driving game that I got hooked on was Gran Turismo on PS1, but then that was when took gaming more seriously over 15 years ago.

Vote cold. This game isn't worth £20.

If I played driving games I'd opt for £25 from Cex and have the option to sell it when you're finished with it

this is very wanderful game which I want to use again.

just grabbed one from ebay for £13, now I hope its not as bad as I believed. the good comments on this post made me go for it!

Great game with lots of free dlc and the rest is dirt cheap. I bought physical copy for £25 a few weeks ago. Worth it.

Is the upgrade price forever or limited time only? Anyone know?

I forgot to mention the challenges...personally, I prefer the time trials to the races (getting times whilst on some of the narrow tracks with aggressive AI is tough) and have spent up to an hour racing laps of circuits before (as you go round you race your ghost, and the ghosts of other players with a slightly better time than you). It's very addictive.

If you have friends on PSN who also have DC you can send them challenges to beat your time, with a particular car/track/time/weather combination. These are great fun and act like user-created content.

I'll add some people from this thread to my friends list, so I have more DC people to send challenges to-feel free to add me if you have the game- Crumptastic_86

Cracking game. Really loves the challenges side of it.....how some people are that quick around a track is unreal. Still stuck on 224/225 stars....damn you Hennesey Venom hot lap!!!!!!!

Well Sony is supposed to give 10% off at some point in January. I will wait till last day of sale and see if Sony does and then can get it cheaper.

I uploaded a short video last night, for those who want to have a look!
It's raining and sunny.

*It was my first or second day of playing so please forgive my unorthodox cornering skills :smile:

Cold got hard copy for only £18.50 new last week from shopto.net

I'm thinking about trading up my disk copy for the digital. Does anyone know how many GB this game will take up on the HDD for the full install and updates? Surely it can't be as low as 17GB? That's my only concern

This game was meant to come free for PS+ subscribers, but got delayed. May come next month??

I have to agree. Disk swapping is a little bit of a pain and this game is a keeper in my opinion and well worth the £20 asking price for the sheer number of hours of entertainment. The developers making the money back (rather than CEX) should ensure more updates and possibly a sequel.

If more AAA games were selling for £20 I'd be happy to go all digital for them. Glad I upgraded to a 1TB HDD when I did.

Do you think there will be any performance advantages to the digital version as there will be zero time spend reading the disk?

PS4 games don't actually read from the disc. They install to the HDD when you first get the game and then the disc is just used for security from then on. Most of the time the disc will just sit idle in the blu ray drive so you wouldn't see any difference at all tbh.

And CD keys are doing a £25 PSN card for £19.95. http://www.cdkeys.com/playstation-network-psn/psn-cards/playstation-network-card-25-ps-vita-ps3

Its £19.94 if you use the 5% code from Facebook

as I mentioned, I will wait till last day of sale on this. Sony hasn't announced a date of discount. So am willing to wait in case it happens in time. If it doesn't, there is no loss as I will buy it on last day of sale.

That's a really good price. I bought one for £20 from Ebay yesterday and I thought that was good enough.

Got this cheap a just after new year. Great game. It's really addictive trying to learn and master the tracks and vehicles to get the quickest time possible, Challenges from the community and other players are fun too. If I didn't already own it I would def get it for £20. Voted Hot.

I bought it from CEX for £20 over the holidays, it's definitely worth a purchase at this cost, there's loads to do and the weather stuff they've added is a really nice bonus. Shame it had such an awful launch but for £20 you can't wrong I reckon!

Wasn't digital it was a disc copy of the game, resale available if rubbish

I had saw this on the store and checked hotukdeals for comments which made up my mind. Took an age to download despite being on by infinity last night. Played the initial race and really pleased. The game has had bad press but based on my first race only graphics are next gen and the handling is great fun.

Sequel, you serious? This game is damaged goods with an even worse reputation. Even though multiplayer is fixed, op has still copied the text regarding server issuss, no one has noticed and people still ask if online is working.
The team is clearly struggling to keep the game running. 1 year late, took almost 2months to get the servers working, ps+ postponed, having to add new features bit by bit to limit bugs perhaps? While pressured in getting the dlc cars released every month.

If Project Cars is any good that is 1 nail in its coffin and when GT7 lands its game over for driveclub permanently. Who in their right mind would still play this or buy the sequel?
Driveclub full game im sure will be released for free too, perhaps this xmas or next year before GT7 is released. Atleast they can make money off the dlc and season pass.

Cool story bro. It's interesting because it sounds like you know what you're talking about, but when you read it you're actually regurgitating all the knee-jerk reactions that came at launch. You also don't know anything about how game development works (people writing server netcode are not the same people doing car modelling, track creation etc). Fun read, nonetheless.

And if you think the server issues were bad you obviously didn't play Battlefield 4. This is small fry in comparison.

Or GTA Online for that matter. That game is still broken now.

This is not a full game but an upgrade!!!
In addition there is a message about server issues so good luck !!!
COLD

Kind of obvious that the team is subdivided! Goes without saying. Since when do you get such highly skilled individuals who can work on absolutely any aspect of the game when the time calls?! But nice of you to jump the gun.
Lol, it would explain why they took so long. Derek, start faffing about on the dlc cars, get the servers fixed.

Why on earth is this hot?!?! this game has been broken since release. and the free version was meant to be released in October.
people need to stop buying games that are released full of glitches regardless of how cheap they are.

So, so pretty.

Seen this on eBay previous for around £15 ... not very convinced with digital copies tbh. There's 2 PS4 consoles in the house and it is just better for me to get a disc version.

I went for this in the end. As others stated. By the time I'd want to resell the hard copy, it could well be worthless.

Played it a couple of hours so far and it's fantastic. Now dividing gaming between GTA V, a digital pes 2015 and digital DriveClub. No disc swapping for a while!

Can you point me at these?

Thanks. My bad as i forgot to mention the 5% discount code for liking their Facebook page.

The front page actually had what you wanted today. :wink:

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/playstation-network-card-25-ps-vita-ps3-ps4-19-94-with-instant-online-delivery-from-2119186

If the game was working 100% and there was no server issues then why have they not released the free version to the ps+ members as they said they would?
I am aware that it is an upgrade to the full game but why would anyone in their right mind support a company who thinks this is an ok way to release a game? the game should have been pulled from psn and stores as soon as they realized the issues they should have fixed the game and offered free season passes to anyone who managed to buy it before the issues were sorted out.
NFS rivals was right up my street mostly because i was able to play it online from day one without ongoing issues
BTW im sure driver club is a great game when it works but im not about buy it from them when this is how they treat people, and people buying it will only show the company that they can do the exact same next time they go to release a game

I do absolutely agree with you. IMHO Sony should have done what Ubisoft did and offered at least the season pass for free to launch buyers.

This deal got even better with the credit deal. £19.94 with £5.06 free credit. Bought :smiley:

:confused: ... I thought that was impossible. Thank you so much

Stress on servers more likely, think about it how many people will download and try to jump online, even if they do it just once. To be honest I don't know why people are still hung up on the ps+ version. If you want it, buy it and its still worth it for £20 since its the only decent game till Project Cars lands.
GTA Online had a ton of issues and even now with its PS4 port, still has issues online. A lot of games have some issues, some bigger than others such as AC Unity.
If you feel like that then the least you should do is not to pre-order. Wait for game to be fixed, get it cheaper and atleast you know it works as intended.

It would be nice to use this with the 10% PSN discount voucher. Does anyone know when Sony will be emailing these to us?

How do you start an online race? I just want to jump into a lobby like in gta online. Single player doesn't interest me.

This is a permanent price reduction as confirmed by Chris Owen, PlayStation Community Manager on Twitter.:smiley:

https://twitter.com/Envisager_/status/555645189533224960?lang=en-gb

So we will be able to use our 10% discount codes to knock another £2 off the price.:wink:

Japan to be added soon free for everyone with full game . .

http://m.uk.ign.com/articles/2015/01/15/new-driveclub-japanese-track-dlc-showcased

Don't need Facebook to view video

https://m.facebook.com/driveclubofficial?refsrc=http%3A%2F%2Fm.uk.ign.com%2Farticles%2F2015%2F01%2F15%2Fnew-driveclub-japanese-track-dlc-showcased&_rdr

Sorry for the silly question, but what is this 10% code youre on about? thankyou!

Thanks for the feedback. I used to like PGR but it was definitely a bit on the fake side. I did love the fact you could walk around your garage and play geometry wars! That was even better than PGR itself! After watching a good few videos I guess i like realistic driving sims so its not for me.

I currently have the disk version of DC. I'll be trading it up to download the digital version. Should save my progress and uninstall the disk copy before i download the digital version? I dont want two copies of the game eating up HDD space.

Does anyone know when the 10% PSN outage code will be delivered? That would make this quite the bargain.

Is that the game or dashcam footage ? Dang that's sold it to me

Would love to get this now but really really want steering wheel support for my DFGT. Come on Sony & Logitech, give me a reason to stop playing GT6!

I tried this out last night and it looked nice enough but it didn't exactly blow me away. Do I need to download the weather packs etc seperately or are they just in a standard mandatory update?

I think I have them already but I'll double check, thanks. When I bought the game it immediately started to download 2 files which were around 2.7GB each. I'm assuming one of those must have been the most recent update.

I've just checked and it looks like I have everything apart from the paid DLC.

Same for me, those two 2.7GB files get you going and make some events available to play. The rest download in the background. The total is around 17GB I think. Once it's all downloaded you should be at versio 1.09

As mentioned go to the store and get the freebies on offer

And also, is the single player part of the game enough to keep you going? I'm not much of an online gamer.

No, sorry I probably should have been more clear there. It did download the full game in the background I think. I actually bought it on Wednesday night and then left the PS4 in standby mode downloading it. I didn't actually start to play it until around 24 hours later. To be fair, I had sunk a couple of beers by the time I got on it last night though. Here's a lesson for everyone, if you want to win then don't drink and driveclub.

You don't, it has finished now.

I have the retail version of Driveclub and struggle to get into most online races. If I'm lucky I'll get into an online race in 1 out of 30 tries. It's very frustrating and clearly an issue on their side given the number of people making the same complaints.

I think there's an element of pot luck. Alot of people have had connection/server issues resolved after the various updates released, but many others like me haven't seen any improvement in this failure to connect.

I don't have a single problem in connecting to players in any other PS4 online game, all the required ports are open (I've even tried PS4 on DMZ and still no change), and for me the PS4 connects at 25-30mb down, 10-12mb up to the internet, so why we're failing to connect to players is a mystery.

You can share a PS+ sub same way :wink:

Just got around to picking this up, and....

...it's absolutely brilliant! Honestly, such an under-rated game and so much more fun and visceral than Gran Turismo. It's a steal at this price and the weather effects are incredible.

Also, the controls are spot on for me. Sim like, but with enough arcade response to weave through corners and opponents. Massive thumbs up!

has it? I can still see the upgrade in the store for 19.99??

I don't understand why you would want to clog up your hard drive rather than spend a few pounds more and get the physical version? It's a huge game with regular updates and you can sell the game on unlike a download

He was talking about the playstation credit deal.

Seriously?? I thought you both had to be PS+ if you wanted to play the PS+ games??

where can you actually check how much of the game has been downloaded? I can play offline events but can't seem to be able to play any multiplayer.

Great game - feels a lot like Grid - more arcadey than something like forza, so if you're a tuning freak then possibly not for you, if you're a Grid or PS1 Colin McRae rally fan - this is awesome. Handling is suitably forgiving - ie one wheel on the grass doesn't mean pausing and hitting restart!, but never false.

This isn't a Sim and doesn't pretend to be, but it is great fun. The way online works is great to - always a raft of events starting in a few seconds, so no joining and waiting for everybody else to finish those last 15 laps of the nurburgring before you can play.

thanks OP - bargain at £20.

cheers!

don't think I will bother with multiplayer racing. it's a ram fest and pointless

http://uk.ign.com/wikis/playstation-4/How_to_Game-Share_with_Family_and_Friends

My son has my account on his PS4 set as primary, he can use all my games and PS+ on his account anytime even with no internet.

I can play everything on my account at the same time, though an internet connection is needed to do a license check.
So no internet, no gaming (which is very very rare!)

Hmmmm... I'm going to give that a go when his PS+ runs out in a month or son. Thanks for all your help on this

Downloaded.


Stay tuned for review.....

Japan now released for download!!

Just wait until you're trying to get the 3 stars on Semi Pro or above, you'll be hitting restart quite regularly. :stuck_out_tongue:

I've really been enjoying it but it gets tough pretty quickly and I just cannot do drifting, hate it (and gymkhana) in every game it's used in.

Try pressing the handbrake button (default circle) for about one second to start a drift, I was struggling when I got to the first drift challenge, I ended up at the top of my friends leader-board :smile:

If you just tap the button it seems to spin-out or hardly drift at all.

The instant restarts and short races are what makes the game great.

good deal but unfortunately this game is not as good as it should be :disappointed:

I don't find anything wrong with it tbf....other than my complete uselessness at the drift events! :stuck_out_tongue:

How good should it be? What would you change to improve it?

Despite a really shaky start, I have to hand it to Sony because they are supporting this game very well. All FH2 offers is a free car every month.

enjoying the game but as someone said it gets tough pretty quickly and I can't drift either

noticed one issue-ette - if you've changed your PSN avatar to a custom one the game does not pick that up, it will only show the standard Sony avatars. Still hardly a showstopper

The online is a smash fest though, it may as well be Destruction Derby at times although I did manage to beat a bunch of French level 40 players in Ferraris when I was driving a Renault on Saturday. I don't speak French but I gathered that they weren't very pleased.

Similar story here, when you do get a good lobby, it's excellent.
I understand that private lobbies are on the way in a future update.

It's nothing new tbh. I remember PGR being like that on the 360. Most people just want to win and they don't really care how that happens.

Thanks op

Does anybody know where the cheapest place is to buy this in-store now?

£17.99 @ Gamescentre pre owned if you mean a physical copy.

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/ps4-driveclub-17-99-preowned-gamescentre-2123098

This is bullsh*t!!

My post, with pre-owned, although actual disk, for £20 went to 90 degree, this goes over a 1000.

Thanks HotUKdeals, I won't be posting again!!!!!

Boohoo, I posted a different product for the same price and it didn't get me a big e-****.

Okay, maybe that is a bit harsh, but the fact is some people actually PREFER digital and hence those people will be voting this hot but might not care for your deal. Others prefer retail but are collectors so only buy brand new, again they will not care for your deal either nor this one. Then you have the group of people who don't really care how they get it. This final group are the ones your deal would appeal to. As such there may just be more people who prefer digital games to those who don't care how they get a game.

This deal is far better, and rarer. I'd rather have a cheap digital download than a potentially scratched and inconvenient preowned disc any day.

"Yes brother, the fire rises."

I thought I add a statement that doesn't make any sense as well lol.

Potentially scratched? Anything you buy can be potentially faulty, that is why there's a warranty on that, and last time I checked CEX offer warranty on the items they sell. how is a disk inconvenient if you can sell it if you don't like the game, or completed everything there;s to complete. Digital copy is inconvenient to me - you bought it, you stuck with it!

I'm gonna go and potentially drink some inconvenient coffee right now. Lawyered!!!!

Boohoo to you too :smiley:

Does this include the P1 etc from the special edition? And is the dlc mentioned the season pass? Cheers

I picked this up last week on disc second-hand mint from a forum for £17. Played a reasonable amount in the interim; it's very good and I have experienced no real issues, apart from one crash to XMB when I finished a race. This was when I had joined someone's session in my club, however.

Looks fantastic and quite competitive - can be unforgiving, but I do get the sense that at the lower levels, the computer AI lets you catch up. Ram fest, this is not: you lose power as a penalty if you directly ram other vehicles (rightly so), but it's too forgiving when using other vehicles as a cornering aid.

Not sure if the season pass is considered worth it yet, would be good to know what others think.

I'm considering the season pass as well, although I've not bought one since Uncharted 3. So I must like DC :smile:

The discount codes have now started to come out. One of my accounts got one this morning however it expires on the 25th January so you can't hold on to it for a while (which is unfortunately what I was planning to do).

We all post deals occasionally that don't make it big, just suck it up and move on. It's not like it actually matters anyway.

Without SEN access at work, what's the current price of the season pass?

£19.99

Game and Amazon also sell it though.

http://www.game.co.uk/en/driveclub-season-pass-307896

More than the game cost me; crazy :smiley: Quietly hoping it will drop a bit in the coming weeks/months. Will likely pick it up when I exhaust the rest of the tours. Ta for the reply.

I wouldn't be surprised if it shows up in a sale at some point. The UK 10% off PSN codes should be available this weekend anyway so you could always get it for £18 then if you want to.

grr will finally spend my £21 of credit when the 10% voucher makes it £18!

This weekend then. I am currently in an argument with Sony's community management though as their official release states that the 10% codes will work on digital pre-orders and I know for a fact that they won't unless something changes before this weekend.

It expires after a short period though. No worries - not in any rush :smiley:

Lol so why don't they just snap this and sell the red version for £20? Why is the red version still £35?

Does everybody get the code or just ps plus subscribers? The wording makes it look like everyone...

"We hope your New Year is getting off to a great start! As promised, as a thank you to all of our PSN members, we are happy to announce the details of the 10 percent PlayStation Store discount."

You can only buy the PS+ 'upgrade' with a PS+ subscription, it's £35 for those without PS+.

Because the discount is a bonus for being a PS+ subscriber. If you don't want to pay for PS+ then you will occasionally pay higher prices for digital products, it has been that way since the PS3.

Everybody does. The account for which I have already received a code isn't a Plus account.

Wow, this whole thing is so retarded... It should be one game, £35, £20 if you're a ps+ member... Job done.


How did you get it, email?

So you think the PS+ discounted price should be increased by £5? :wink:

And yes, they sent it to me this morning via email.

Oh crap, I meant £20, sorry about that :-p

Might go for this at weekend for £18

I presume then that the jan sales ends tomorrow to make way for this new discount?

Or will I be able to get 10% off driveclubs discounted price this week?

So if I buy this I get the full game?

I switched from disc to download version and my save carried over. did you perhaps have a different region version of the game?

see Page 1 post #3

I was thinking more, just read the title but you know, maybe that is too obvious.

It does seem to be that way for some people unfortunately.

Hope you didn't buy it as you can apply the code and pick it up for £17.99.

Thought I'd give this game a go, so it's downloading, can't complain for £18.

Ah not to worry, i managed to get for 18.04 via CD Keys, great game i must say!

Will this still be playable if your Playstation Plus membership expires?

Yes, but obviously not the online multiplayer.

Same!

Just picked this up for £17.99. Do you have to download the weather packs separately? Couldn't see them on the store.

By the way, PSN discount codes are here:

http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2015/01/23/get-10-psn-discount-code/

Only valid until Monday.

I must admit I am tempted for £17.99, I liked the PGR games on the original xbox and 360 etc. I might get it to tide me over until Project Cars is out.

For £17.99 it's an absolute bargain. It's probably the best next gen racing game yet tbh. I paid £19.99 last week and I summer begrudge spending the extra £2 (and that is very unlike me). :smiley:

It's a mandatory update.

Hi Spark, is that woman in your picture actually you? Because i recognise her for some reason.

It's a man and no it isn't. :laughing:

Oh, its quite a small icon on my phone. Who is it why do i recognise them? Unless its just that type of recognisable face that some people have even though you've never seen them before.

I got the season pass with my code. Happy days.

It's this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bae_Yong-joon

I'm not sure where you would recognise him from though, he isn't really known much outside of Asia. :smiley:

Cheers Spark, bought it and downloading :smiley:

I'm a little confused, do I need to own the game first to buy and play this as it's an "upgrade"? I rented Driveclub a while ago but sent it back now don't own it someone said on PSN forums you need to own the disk then install the upgrade or whatever.

Has the free version been release yet?

Free version is delayed until further notice. No date given. This is the full game you do not need anything else.

Thanks for replying, I see I guess it works out a better deal to get this as the free version isn't everything right? It's not all cars/roads or something.

I noticed "But why did we choose to offer this particular selection of the game to PlayStation Plus subscribers for free?" and on the blog @ http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2014/05/07/whats-included-driveclub-playstation-plus-edition but I wish they can give a date haha guess I will buy this deal.

and "The simple answer is that with an active PlayStation Plus subscription, you can download DRIVECLUB PlayStation Plus Edition which comes with one location (India), 11 tracks, 10 cars and access to all game modes." makes it sound like you can download now free :disappointed:

PS: Is 14.7GB the full size and all DLC/Upgrades or just the game?

The size is just the game. The free edition would be about a fifth of the full game.

I have no clue who that is!

Considering that his fan base mostly consists of middle aged women from Korea, Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong, that doesn't surprise me at all. :laughing:

yep sorry spark i think i figured it out, i must recognise him from the last time i was on hukd and i saw one of your comments or deals.

D'oh!

Just curious now why you chose him as your picture? Are you a middle aged woman from korea?

My son got it on his PS plus, I had first go but now it will only allow it to be played by him, really wish I had the physical copy now. Big regrets

Am I wrong or is it at 11.99£? I am looking on PSN store from the app and this looks the price

Indeed, however perhaps the following from the OP should be noted: "Found 1 year, 11 months ago"

Lol indeed
