I think that will be replacing Resogun and not the PS4 monthly game.

"they never said that"
"here's them saying that"
"well, that's just them saying that because sayin' it is PR speak"
It's actually just a dynamic theme now.omg, it's gonna be 1 car 1 track, isn't it?
For Vita.

I think he meant, and I might be mistaken, that they had never referred to a PS+ edition for any other games. Not that they hadn't referred to the PS+ edition of Driveclub as such.

I'm not sure why Sony or Evolution would want to give away a full AAA budget game without first selling it for a number of months and hitting some sales targets. I would think that people are smart enough to realize that that is how PSN+ works with big budget titles: they are out for a while and sell and once they hit some target they put it on PSN+ for free.
Not bad at all. I was already on team Drive Club, but getting to play around with it before I buy will be nice.
Common sense unfortunately isn't a viral disease or else there'd be a lot more of it around.

Ok let's all be honest here. The game was called the PS+ edition. Does that not allow you to infer that it will be different from the normal, standard, regular edition or whatever else you want to call it? I still don't understand why people expected the full game.

Okay wow. I missed that. Evo off to another shady start to a new gen? Yikes.
No. PS+ is known for full games.
That's like MS announcing Halo 3 for Games With Gold as the Halo GWG edition and hoping we assume that it's just one map of the entire campaign.
Perfect summary of the bullshit going on in this thread...

I understand what you mean, but should we say instead?
Should I wait until the end of the year. Then add up the number of game is have downloaded from ps plus and then use that to divide the cost of my annual subscription, then the result of the sum is the amount I can say I paid for drive club.
I think we all know that the game "free" and, and by now we all know what it means.
Exactly. This was consensus when it was first announced. Stop acting all surprised. It's free. Talk about entitled. PEACE.

Quite frankly it doesn't surprise me. PS+ will only lower in value. It was a trick to convince people that online multiplayer behind a paywall isn't that bad.
Very nice, and good to see the details out finally
LOL. I think there are very few of us who are pleasantly surprised by this. Does that make us weird?
Honestly I'd love if this became the trend for PS+.
I'd rather have trimmed down versions of brand new games with my sub than Indy games or old AAA games.
I don't think it's a trick in itself (definitely was a successful way to comfort PS buyers into the idea of paying for online MP), but we are in a period where we will get lackluster content like access to to this Driveclub platform of sorts. I can see them continuing to do this and offering microtransaction-based shells of games as part of the value package. It's a win-win for them, much like how moving MP behind a paywall was.
Please please no
It was announced last year that the game would be separate between versions. Halo 3 was free for GWG but not all the DLC locking people out of the majority of the playlists online.
So don't pay and get no free games. It's not rocket science. You get far more value for the money than if you don't pay. As far as I know, you can pay most online games no problem without ps+. The complaints on this thread are bizarre.
I was against paying fort online last gen and didn't do it. This gen or makes financial sense, so I'm doing it. If you see no value, don't pay. If gamers voted with their dollars, change would be enacted faster. PEACE.
I'm not pleasantly surprised, it's just I find it hard to complain about a very significant amount of content in a game being free with a subscription that also nets you tons of other full "free" games for. If you calculate the sheer scale of the shit we get per year with a PS+ sub, it's nuts. This is 5 tracks and 11 variants and 10 cars, and many of the modes. That's a huge amount of content for something like that. And if you like it, you can upgrade to the full game.
That's pretty nice any way I shake it

Looking good. The PS+ version is exactly what I expected.

It's actually more like on the day of Halo5 release, ms gives you a gwg version with the single player prologue and all mp modes with 5 maps and 10 custom loadouts.
You know wrong.

It's not free. And you're allowed to be entitled when it comes to a service you pay for. I have no opinion on this either way, just wanted clear up the "free" thing.

I hope all PS4 demos don't end up locked behind PS+
The alternative being... pay and get free games?
Huh...
Get this common sense the fuck out of here.

Are you just talking about PS3/Vita? Because it's pretty much required for retail PS4 games to play online. PEACE.

You can rest assured that it'll be cheaper to just buy the full game.

You agree then that there's a distinct difference. between a full game without a dlc, and what PS+ DC is?
I think it's wrong to call this a glorified demo. They're basically going for the Killer Instinct model. Not exactly what PS+ is known for and I do wonder whether this is a model they want to become more prevalent in PS+ games.

I'm very pleased with this announcement and the amount of content we'll be getting, but this is a truly terrible idea.
I'd rather they continue to do what they re doing now and eventually introduce full retail trials as they did on PS3.
Maybe so, but only if you don't care about the online portion of the game.

Which car game demo has ever had 5 tracks and 10 cars in the past?
You think people would be used to sales speak by now, if not watching late night tv sale shows may be disappointing

So people actually expected a full version of this game for free minus some content at launch of said game. A game they have now dragged on for an extra year they were just going to give away for free to the probably huge percentage of people who subscribe to PSN+ who own PS4s. Seems a bit much for a company that is always touted as on a razors edge to bankruptcy to just eat the entire cost of the game and make very little on it. Especially with the extra development time involved.
