tbh the only hard event in the game was the venom hot lap, i'm kinda dissapointed that there is no trophy for an event like that. Something like the infamous "Zico lap" from Wipeout HD would be awesome.

I noticed what appears to be the fame/faceoff score next to the race time for leaders on the challenges. Can't remember if that's like that on all the leaderboards. It would be great to see the fame/faceoff scores (not the extra points for accolades and such, just the points from the actual racing) for all the times on the leaderboards. That way you can perhaps judge how clean a race it was and not just how fast.
Maybe you could even somehow separate out the points awarded or deducted for clean racing and show that on the leaderboard. This might help address some complaints about people using walls and such to help them achieve the fastest times. The times would still stand, but you could see who are the fastest clean racers.

Thumbs up here as well! Would address the complaints from those frustrated they can't access the content they paid for (which doesn't make sense when you think about how games have always been made, but we live in a different time now with different consumer expectations, i.e., gotta have it now).
That Alpine A110-50 and its sound...
Agree with this, it's the most reasonable solution. Dumbing down the difficulty will just make the game too easy for people like Vaga and DHC.

That'd be cool. Every tour with dynamic weather added to it.
Oh and the Renault Alpine is such a beauty...

Challenge accepted and beaten. Your turn. B-)
DLC review:
Stingray is mediocre.
Electric sls loses control way too easily at high speeds.
Alpine sounds amazing and is really quick.
Ferrari speciale is a top contender in the super class. All around really effing good.
Evantra I haven't tried.
McLaren F1 Pm might be the best car in the hyper class. Up there with the zonda r and Apollo enraged.
Red line was pretty easy. Didn't notice the difficulty spike people spoke of. Took about 90 min to get all 45 stars. Hardest event was definitely the corvette drift.....pissed me off.
Excited to start elements since I heard it's challenging.

I'm terrible at driving in cockpit view, it feels so cramped to me I seem to only really do OK when it's out of car view but I feel the game looks a lot nicer in a first person view How did you guys train yourself to play like this!?
I seem to only really do OK when it's out of car view but I feel the game looks a lot nicer in a first person view How did you guys train yourself to play like this!?Welp, I bought DriveClub after seeing the awesome weather thread and I'm off to a rocky start. When I first put the disc in my console sounded like it was trying to read it multiple times. It then blue screened and gave me a cE 3478 0 error. I'm not sure what to do. I downloaded the 2.55gb patch in hopes that would fix it but I'm still getting the same error message.
Any advice?
Edit: woah,It's working now!! I deleted and re installed the game plus the patch. Wooooot.

Agreed that it is quite cramped and you get a lot more real estate in bumper and hood cam. You just have to get used to it and play it as often as you can. For hatchbacks and clear weather, cockpit is no problem for me. Throw in weather and hyper cars, forget about it.

Use the view just before the cockpit view. I guess you call it the dash cam. It give you a lot more side view and seems to sit a bit higher. It will take some practice but you will at least see the windshield and wipers!

Elements is damn tough. It took about 45 minutes of replaying the Limited Slip drift event before finally beating the 13500 target score. This run right here was the best I could manage:

Guess I'm used to it from playing cockpit view exclusively in GT6. Learn a track, then the more you use cockpit view the more you'll get accustomed to it.
Just did a hotlap in the McLaren F1 on a stormy night. I still don't think any game is going to top the exhilaration of driving in DC any time soon.

Rushy if you're reading this, any idea when game stats will be back up? i just want to see how many hours I've put into this game.
By the way, guys - my fame points are up to 17 million now. What are you guys up to?

No, the current version is 1.09.
Go to the game on your XMB and hit the option button then choose "check for latest update."
You're at least missing the Renault DeZiR DRIVECLUB edition (sp?), which was free I believe.
It's the same for me, EU disc version, history stuck on 1.04 but game up to date. Rushy?

Ah you're right, I missed that one. I just turned my PS4 off and I'm not sure, that's a super car right?

Wow! Great vid Benzy, that's amazing!
Yeah I'd love to see some more stats too.
I've got around 31.5 mil and I'm lurking around the 600 rank - the top ten is just insane, how the hell has someone got 650 million points?
That was a really good run, shame about the barrier at the start. Notice how the lead ghost spins the car in every section tho, annoying!
The corvette drift was indeed annoying.
I think you won't find Elements much harder because Redline was indeed rather easy to me too.
I have 20 millions atm, which makes me around the 2300 in the leaderboard. I looked yesterday at those who are ahead of me on the Evo challenges. 73 million omg.
The pro tour will force you to learn. It was my first difficulty spike in the game.
For drifting, here are my notes: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=143989864&postcount=670

This should be re-quoted all the time
. . Just maybe not to 1star but lower it to 30% of the requirement right now. Everyone will be happy. The game is not difficult and giving difficulty levels will suck for those who have all the starts already (I'm 396 for now as i haven't attempted the elements trophy yet - no time yesterday ).We've seen just one or two instances of this. Would you be able to try another pad and let me know whether that fixes the problem?
We're aiming to have stats visible again during January - they're still being tracked though so don't worry.
This is a system software bug (can happen with any game). To my knowledge the only 'fix' is to delete the game and re-install (be sure to backup your saves if you do).
I'm on board with lowering the star requirements. If only because games are the only entertainment that lock content out that you've paid for if you're shit at it. You can't watch a film or read a book badly!
IIRC I did that in the lotus, much more nimble.
The Audi one is what's causing me grief. I've got the first star, but the time under 3:18 is tough for me on a long very fast stage and I'm finding the S5 getting unstable at high speed when making the changes in direction. Add in AI using me as a bumper and ruining it lol.

I agree with lowering the barrier to proceed. Keep the stars as they are. Just lower the amount needed to unlock other events.
Engine/driving sounds are really good, music is very lacking - by default its mixed so quietly you can barely hear it. I wouldn't say I'd like to hear EA style alt-rock spewing out at volume 11, but I miss the days where racing game music helped you get into the race. Outrun, Ridge Racer etc.
Man, the Venom 2 trial is a bitch, I seriously fucking hate it
Probably the only trial I will never get 3 stars on.
Good luck with it!
Liveries are normally free, just some mistake from the store team.

I finally got the Season Pass,mainly for the McLaren F1....and to support Evo... I never get season passes for games, but made the exception here.
initially I wanted the car for nostalgia sake (Need For Speed 2).....but to my surprise, the car drives amazing for me.. I don't need a car that handles perfect...but something about how this car handles and recovers for me, I love it...I've been killing ever since I've started using it online.
I think DriveClub is the first racing game I've played that you can use your favorite car on a track and still have a chance of winning regardless of it's stats compared to others.
I mean sure, having a car that has slow acceleration, but great top speed on a small circuit course isn't going to work out well....but the majority of the courses....you can just pick any car available in an online race, and adjust your driving for that car and still have a chance to finish up top.
most racing games, everyone wants to use the car that has the best stats...and they'd have the advantage....
this game, you want that/try to use that power advantage, be prepared to fly off the road....just enough time for someone else who has a slower car to catch up and then stay ahead.
anyway, basically just want to say I love the balance of the game...it seems so perfect to me, that I'm scared to even think about how much time and stress was spent trying to get it where it is right now...and still seems to be improved upon after each patch.

I was just about to post that i couldn't see my drivers statistics but it seems that this was a know issue.
I must admit revisiting a old tour event i had trouble and managing to get stars/set scores is the best feelign ever.
As bad as i am with the game , this ....shouldn't change.
