Is the Game + Season Pass bundle for $20 still on sale? I'm having a hard time finding it via the website.

This says not available for purchase. You can get the $20 stand alone, but I can't seem to get the $15 expansion. What gives?

It shows up for me at $15. Are you logged into the PSN website?

Can anyone here let me know how the gyro controls work with the bikes? I didn't much like them with cars, but I imagine bikes are a whole different beast with motion controls.

Am I missing where you customize the colours for your helmet & leathers?

Can't seem to find them in rider customize or the garage

Edit: Its tied into your clubs colours. Damn it should have been separate

You just get reset when you crash, you can scrape along barriers, but if you hit them too hard you get reset.

Im not. I mean, its unnecessary and didnt hurt Burnout Paradise either when it was absent. This isn't RoadRash and I dont need myself or my kids seeing bodies fly into the air.... I mean, it doesn't add anything.

It's just cool to see as a visual effect and just a bit jarring when you reset like that. But it's not a big deal for me. I'm enjoying the bikes quite a bit.

But Evo did such wonderful ragdolls in Motorstorm. Made wiping out on a bike an unforgettably bone crunching slow mo 'I can fly!' experience.

I get why they had to do it this way, but its disappointing all the same.

Just typical PSN store stuff

They always seem to have hitches, especially when it comes to Driveclub. I don't know how Evolution puts up with it lol

Apparently. I bought some Boston songs on RB through the extras the other day and still, when I go to look for them in the store to download (because they don't show up on my list), it says "No content available".

The store definitely got a lot faster, but its as buggy as ever.

Wait, did I miss something?

Is the PS+ version now the full game, with the season pass being $12 and this expansion for $15?

I own the disc and downloaded the limited PS+ version, but no DLC. I was about to buy the digital bundle and bike expansion, but I can't find the bundle anymore.

Edit - Just found the Game w/ SP bundle:

And here's the bike expansion:

Oh. There aren't even any new tracks.
How very disappointing.
I'll probably get it anyway because I think I have more money than sense but I was hoping for so much better after they said they were announcing something big.

Still news on more updates coming later this week. I'm pretty sure they've confirmed that they are working on new locations (don't have a link handy). I'm betting on a season 2 that will include content for both cars and bikes in the near future.

so i just finished the whole tour and got all 162 stars. According to the leaderboards of the last event there are only 4 others. Kinda funny to be among the first to finish it. The Gold trophy says 0,0% got it :D

I gotta say riding the bikes is a whole lot of fun. I'm not a bike expert by any means so i don't know if it's supposed to be like that, but compared to the cars i barely noticed a difference between the bikes that are available.. i mean they sound different but handle pretty much the same.

The Bike campaign is kinda short and considering what you get with the season pass there really isn't enough content for 15€. it's at least 5€ too much, if not more, if it stays like this content wise. Took me about 3 hours to complete. The difficulty was pretty easy, i was able to get all stars most of the time with the occassional retry. The last two "Style Events" took me about 4-6 times to finish.

I'm looking forward to the announcements for the next updates next week.. i hope they create more content for the Bike Pack so the content is a little more justifiable.

Also a little tip: When it says you need to do a clean lap, it only means not going over track limits or crashing into the barrier. You can play bumper cars as much as you want and it won't penalize you.

Well fuck, this is a must buy. It's a shame about the lack of crashes but hopefully they're working on it...#RideClub

Argggh I haven't turned my PS4 on in three months, time to download everything...
 
So after fighting ...i decided TO STOP AND LOOK AT THE PURCHASE SCREEN FOR THE BIKE ADD ON. Says 10/29/15.....so i assume us in NA cannot download till then.

Kinda lame considering during the Conference he didn't say crap about Euro only....cool for you guys....but they could said for euro only... and NA on the 29th. Went from HELL YEA to 2DAYS.....ARRRGGGGHHHH

Why so angry?
 
Here's hoping they're working on it. I want the game to transition to 'Driveclub Motorstorm' someday.
Driveclub Year Three will be Motorstorm.

Seriously, despite that disappointing lack of animations, I think they're really nailing the game as a platform idea with their execution here.
