Their season pass is pretty amazing too, multiple new things every week in addition to the free tracks, cars and gameplay updates.

Free "maps" need to be the standard too, fragmenting online players is the worst.

It's entirely possible there is basically zero overlap with who is making sick tracks and who is doing net code

Facebook update the other day said Evo have a team working solely on netcode

Nakasendo is an absolutely unreal experience! What an incredible track! So good to drive, so fabulous to look at!
 
The first Japan track is amazing (can't remember its name). I love all those sweeping, smooth turns. And it looks beautiful (those cherry blossoms, hnnngh). This is great DLC.

Patch notes say you can now choose from a selection of factory colors (YES!) but nothings changed for me? DLC pack maybe.

Can't connect to servers after the update.

Do a single event, and it will connect during the race. Worked for me :)


Edit: regarding the Time trial events in MP I think they will appear mixed with the race events on the multiplayer screen, they changed the layout and it says "race" in all events there. Or I'm completely wrong.
 
Japan's tracks were enough to push me over--I finally got my copy today.

And while neither my better half nor myself can drive worth a damn, the courses look absolutely stunning, and the whole thing makes me wish I had a driving wheel.
 
Heat haze and rainbows! Be still my beating heart.

This is the best, most jaw droppingly gorgeous racer available to eyes.


I've got a question though:
It says "Adds the ability to choose from a collection of factory Paint jobs during the vehicle selection prior to an Event"

How do you do this? I know I'm just being dense but I just did a Time Trial in an Audi A5 and didn't see the option to change the factory Paint.

Gorgeous. Downloading now.

Why oh why won't Sony allow Logitech wheels on PS4. I have a whole g27 racing setup and I struggle playing driving games with a gamepad these days.

Probably in the garage......

DC Facebook page says this is a mistake and it is coming in February.

They said via FB that the factory colour option will be coming in a February update despite it being listed in the current update.

Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

Thanks dude. I got unduly excited about that for some reason.

Still it's another cracking update.


Hey Viveks, are replays coming in February then (with proper factory Paint jobs!!) or are they gonna be in a seperate mini update?

Having driven the tracks, i've got to be honest here, i think they are some of the very best in the whole game! The first 2 circuits are just incredible to drive around, aided by the fact that even in the Mclaren F1 they are a good 1min 40 secs or so! Whoever creates the courses wants a fucking medal! extraordinarily fun to drive and some of the most amazing tracks i've ever played in a racer. Evo just keep giving!

What a fantastic update. Lots of goodies. Btw, which thing in particular was the Sir Price?

That's awesome to hear man. With my Internet it'll probably take a few hours or so to download all the updates, but I seriously cannot wait!
 
Well I think if we're getting Japanese cars we might as well have the NSX and the GT-R, and the Lancer and the Impreza. Lots of people love these cars.

Although for me, while they're sticking cars in, I would really like to see the Ford RS200 (I'm a sucker for group B rally cars) and the GT40.
And a couple of Lambos.
Maybe some more Hot Hatches and Sports too?

I think I've got enough BMWs and Audis though.

New tweet from Evo.

"We are working with new manufacturers on lots of exciting cars, so keep following for new announcements."

"lots" sounds promising.

Fuck, I'll be back from work in about 10 hours. :|

The most awesome thing except new tracks and weather is the ability to remove crowds/flags/race infrastructures. Chili & Canada will look amazing.

We still have 6 more DLCs incoming so that's 36 more cars hopefully.

You'll lap that shit up mate. Turn the flags and what not off and learn the hard way. #eyeopening
