The roar of the engines, the screech of the tyres, the scream of the crowds.
DRIVECLUB VR powers into an extended season of highly immersive virtual reality racing with a bigger, more powerful engine fueled by PlayStation VR.
Real race fans can get closer to the action and closer to reality than they ever thought possible in wild-speed showdowns, seated in the cockpit of some of the most exclusive, high-end cars ever made.
DRIVECLUB VR gives players the chance to live out their epic racing fantasies in a fully immersive, first person virtual reality driving experience that pushes their skills and reflexes to breaking point.
KEY FEATURES
1. CRUISE MODE: Freely roam the DRIVECLUB tracks in and out of car and soak up impressively details locations in VR.
2. PASSENGER MODE: Jump in the passenger seat and take a thrill ride with some of the best racers in the world
3. INSPECTION MODE: Inspect the cars inside and out, from any angle at your leisure.

Reasonable prices like this for a full-fat VR game make the headset price a bit easier for me to swallow.

This is a standalone game, you don't need the original Drive Club

But do you get all the original Driveclub content as well as VR stuff?
Are you able to play this edition of the game WITHOUT VR headset if you desired?
Is this edition going to be the same as if you had the original Driveclub and purchased the VR addon ?
Anyone know the answer to these questions?
Cheers

From what I have read this is a stand alone game that is only for VR. You need to buy the original game if you want the original experience. I am not sure if this VR version of the game is playable on the tv without the headset. But it would offer a watered down experience. So it is best to get the original game which is cheaper on Amazon anyway. This VR one doesn't offer any upgrades other then the fact that it is for VR. And if anything things have been removed from this version

Why are you misinforming? what exactly has been removed and where is your evidence for this and also whats watered down?
The Game is 100% the original, with new urban areas, and new tracks as well as new game modes.
Driveclub VR is exclusively for PSVR and will require the headset to play. you can buy Driveclub on its own with season pass for about £15.00 or so.
But this is a good price for a hell of a lot of content.

just going on what I read. maybe what I read was wrong. I read it was a standalone experience that was different to the original in on disc content....but hey maybe I am wrong..like I said I just got that impression from a few sites.

I don't know all the details, but I do know for certain that the number of cars on a track has been reduced from twelve to eight. It's not quite the same as the original game, though I certainly don't think the compromises are a deal-breaker.
'Thankfully, the visual identity of DriveClub is intact here, but some of its more ambitious visual features appear to be absent. The impressive cloud simulation model is eliminated and weather is nowhere to be seen, while the number of cars on the track is reduced from 12 to just eight. Trackside detail certainly takes a hit in the form of more aggressive LOD popping where flat billboard trees are converted to full 3D models in closer proximity to the player. The world isn't as richly detailed as before, but the resolution limits of PSVR at least help conceal that fact to a degree.'
