It's pretty amazing how they've handled this game. I can't do anything but appreciate such dedication to a project. Fixes,updates,expansions and i mean how many times have we seen a case where gamers actually want! A second season pass

This game. This damn game. It just never seems to end.
Bring it on.
Bring it on.
There's no option to turn off those assists right now.

I want to hear that guy who introduced Driveclub at the PS4 reveal event talk about this new mode. I bet it'd be absolutely filthy.
Ah, okay. It's been a while since I played Driveclub.

City tracks, more sim options.
LMAO...I'm good with normal and easy difficulty. I couldn't imaging hardcore mode. But I am happy for everyone. Hopefully this announcement makes your face have this exact expression.

I never would have guessed they'd go this direction, but I already need this badly. Wow.

The default game is the arcade mode. Right now the biggest assist you can turn off is the automatic transmission.
Fuck. DriveClub is so insane looking.
I feel no shame in saying that #DRIVECLUB is my favorite console game this generation. And the way its been supported almost brings tears to my eyes. Only negative is that Im going to have to buy a wheel for the ps4, but with Dirt Rally also on the Horizon, and now this, I finally think it'll be worth it.

Indeed. I never would have thought this would come after they did the automatic braking stuff.
Goddamn, It's one of the main things I wanted for this game and now it's true.

I think the above is an important part...
I don't think this matters at all.

Now if only my G27 would work with the PS4.

With enough practice you should be able to be faster without any assists on. This isn't an issue.
Why would you run against others top speed using hardcore mode, if the top speeds are only achievable disabling it?
Maybe they will add a leaderbord in the future, but, this seems important to quote right now.
Well then, hope it's possible.
Encore, hardcore, rock you down to the floor!
I do like what they're doing at Evolution Studios. It seems like they sell you the game (and an optional additional expansion pack per year - I've bought both), and throw in a few free updates to please the niche supporters. I have no complaints at all.

You'll go faster when you're not bogged down by assists and you're good.

I'm one of Driveclub's biggest supporters but this is quite disappointing, surely hardcore mode needs separate leaderboards so everyone is on a level playing field.

Because you should be able to go just as fast, if not faster once you learn how to drive effectively without any assists.
It's the same in Forza/GT. The leaderboards are not separate for those who don't use any assists. The only thing you can do is filter the results, but that still doesn't change the standings of the overall leaderboard.

Do it properly and make it cockpit/manual/hudless only.
I don't think this WR lap will be possible in Hardcore mode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6NU5_52BmE
I think I didn't updated fast enough when saw your comment GHG hehe. So, no complaints on this. Didn't know exactly how it works and thought it was important. Thanks for the heads-up o/
