Driveclub VR launches for PS VR on October 13 for $39.99.
- Thread starter Loudninja
- Start date
I don't know if you're making up a hypothetical situation here... The people who bought this game on release week split into two categories. Ones who hated it and bashed it for months on GAF and the people who became die-hard fans and bought the Season Pass etc.
When people finally considered the game "fixed", it was going for about £8 for both the game and Season Pass. If you bought the game for $60 on release week (the only time it was anywhere close to $60) and didn't get the Season Pass at some point when it was £5 then I don't know really know what minority you're arguing for.
The people who paid $60, didn't buy the SP and are interested in VR and Driveclub VR is a very small percentage.
Edit: also, work is work etc.

I did know about the existence of the demo disk, just did not know if this was one of the games included.
Good to know it is.
EDIT - Also I purchased the Season Pass, so no complaints about the price here.
You don't have to buy it, and they don't have to give it to you. Your argument is essentially that DLC should always be free, too, and that hasn't been the case for the vast majority of games.
You spent $60 on the game. I spent $85. Neither of us did so based on the promise of VR support. I'll be pleasantly surprised if there's a decent discount for the VR release, but I don't feel entitled to it.

People buy titles like FIFA, Madden, NBA 2k, Gran Tourismo, Forza Motorsport, F1 games for full price year after year and these games only have small changes the majority of the time, often the same content with a little added and some content adjusted to appear fresher. Why should Driveclub VR which has new content be any different to those. If you want the game you are going to buy it, be it release day or when it drops in price. Sony don't have to offer the season pass discount either, they didn't have to offer free content with due to the online launch issues either.
Mine was cancelled. My fault though. Hoping to snag one near launch day.

This PS Access UK preview still hypes me up for the game. It looks fantastic and really gives you a sense of the head tracking in-car. My only concern is that without a wheel things could feel really awkward driving in VR.

Wow, the lengths people on GAF will go to defend this game is simply insane.
"You're making up stuff, but I know for a fact that everyone who doesn't hate the game has the season pass."
"Entitlement."
"You're arguing that all DLC should be free."
"It's the same as a new Gran Turismo or Forza".
Your money, guys. Enjoy.

This PR mouthpiece as you call him is a memeber here and a decent dude.
Have a little respect and stop being a fuckin drama lama. It's uncalled for.
No, only the tracks.

TS150 is under $200 and is basically this gens gt90.
Fantastic experience for the price.
Here's inside sim racing's thoughts..

Ok, well that is kind of the main feature. What isn't coming over? Surely the events involving the new tracks must be?
How much is the discount supposed to be? I have the season pass, so that could be handy. It'll probably just bring it down to the same amount that I can buy a physical copy for, most likely though.
No those are VR exclusive, I mean this is the whole point.
So...what are the tracks for then? Just time trials? Seems odd to bring them over and not do that.

I'm going to try to make myself throw up.
It's really, really not nice when VR makes you ill. You'll take the helmet off way before that ever happening.
Yes its called Driveclub

I was mostly joking but I think I'm immune. I've tried to make myself sick on Gear VR (Escape Velocity) and on PSVR (Eve Vakyrie) and I've never even gotten close.
I've only gotten woozy in VR once, and it did suck, but I do hope this comes across as the more extreme end of VR experiences.
It only happened to me playing Oculus Rift games on the Vive. There was frame skipping and...eww. I got an actual headache from Luckey's Tale. Everything else has worked ok though.

I'll wait a bit for GAF's reactions and reviews but I'm really hoping to get the psvr and this asap.I'm so disappointed there's no good racing game in gear vr....
Just so you know, the new tracks will be making their way to OG Driveclub as well around the same time.
Not a bad price glad I skipped buying driveclub for 5 bucks earlier this week. I figured it wasn't going to just be a free update. I have to wait though because I'm not going to be playing it without a wheel that just seems weird. Man VR is turning out more expensive than I originally thought.
No it's not. the majority of what you're paying for very much looks to be content that you already paid for once before.

You just made my day!
Anyone saying that the price is too high/pathetic or whatever hasn't been following DriveClub at all.
The post-launch support was simply amazing, the value of the season pass was phenomenal and you didn't even have to pay much for the game anyway (if you didn't buy it at launch)

I was certain this is the case. I'm a bit surprised.
Now I'm wondering what's different - are there all new tracks, cars, etc? Or is it just Driveclub in VR? Treading new ground here and I'm not sure this is a good way of doing it.
Did you read the ot?
The new VR modes like Passenger sound really cool.
Just nice to take a passenger seat to my own inadequate driving.
Think this will be a must buy for me when I eventually get PSVR.
Stay salty, Hippo.

This game is too morbid for me to touch.. I just feel awful about the whole situation. I love DriveClub. But I don't want to reward Sony.

The season pass expired with the July update last year. If you buy it you still get all the content that has been released with it, which was 2 tours, 4-5 cars and some liveries each month. There was also quite a bit of free content released during that time, including tours, tracks, cars and liveries. Here's a post of mine from another thread about what has been released after the season pass expired:
This is the most up to date season pass roadmap, although they kept supporting the game with more updates afterwards:

Personally would have liked it there was the boxed game at that price as fair enough for what you get but then some form of dlc for existing owners, seems a bit harsh to expect us to double dip. On the plus side this should mean that it has a plat and full trophy list not DLC list, or better bloody have. VR games and trophies is going to be very intresting which ones get plats and which don't, could protentially be some quick easy plats on offer, that might tempt trophy hunters to get it. I have mine on preorder already for day 1 but not sure what games i am going to get yet, there are a lot of wait and see for me, driveclub is included as not a huge racing fan, but did really enjoy and plat driveclub when i played it.
