Yay, now all the LTTP people can finally see the light (and stop ruining every announce thread for season pass content). Glad they finally delivered as promised.

I'm hopeful that this means they are clearing the "Season 1" deliverables in anticipation of announcing Season 2 plans. As a day-1 digital buyer, I adore this game and only wish it had more of everything.

 

[Eggbok]

Your move Valve, you're starting to look a little isolated sitting on that Half life 3 lol.

Not yet, we still need Knack as a PS+ game.

 

[AkuMifune]

I'm in. Willing to give it a fair chance at least.

 

[Hedrush]

All you guys/girls who have been waiting for the PS+ edition don't forget to buy the best season pass ever, that's if you like the game of course.

 

[Gestault]

Most excellent.

Good to hear

That's all we need to buy after downloading the PS + version if we like the game? Was thinking what I would need to buy if I like it.

 

[Shivvy_NTL]

First the trinity at E3, now this! What next? HL3?

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

Bout time - was going to buy this from GameStop for 20 bucks about a month or 2 ago, but couldn't find it in any local stores.

This will do.

 

[Vashetti]

Does all the free stuff on the PS Store work with this edition?

.

 

[dragonzdogma]

WOW ( thanks)

Oh yeah !

This is going to be Fun!

 

[marcincz]

Everyone who doesn't play should check this game. One of the best racers in my gaming career. Amazing weather effects, beautiful cars and their interiors. Take it if they giving absolutely free.

 

[Hedrush]

Well you'll need to buy the base game first of course, but the season pass is jam packed with extra content. If you like the game then the season pass is a must.

Iirc its on sale digitally for $25 on the PSN right now.

could you post a link,
It's kinda hard to navigate the store.

BTW this season pass , will it allow us to continue to get free DLC forever or how does it work?

 

[Willectro]

What does that mean they'll 'steadily bring on more online players'?

Means it's still not the full PS+ Edition for everyone at launch.

What if you're no longer a PS+ sub, but were at the time Driveclub was promised?

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

I would assume you won't be getting it if you no longer hold a PS+ membership.

 

[PrinceKee]

WOW ( thanks)

Oh yeah !

This is going to be Fun!

Could be wrong, but I thought the DLC didn't work with the PS+ version...

 

[PodcastFips]

Can you use the Season Pass with the PS+ Edition? I sold the game long time ago but want to play the additional content as soon as it is discounted.

 

[mclem]

All you guys/girls who have been waiting for the PS+ edition don't forget to buy the best season pass ever, that's if you like the game of course.

Well, they do actually have to buy the game itself first. One step at a time!

 

[ElNino]

How would that be different than any other PS+ game? If you don't have an active PS+ subscription, you can't play any PS+ games regardless of when you downloaded them.

 

[Hedrush]

I. Can't seem to access the store just now it's just timing out. This diagram shows all the DLC including free stuff and how it was spaced out over the year.

Well, they do actually have to buy the game itself first. One step at a time!

Yeah, I know and I did mention it.

 

[Spaceking]

I downloaded Driveclub PS Plus Edition yesterday and only have access to the offline mode.

Beautiful game, but hard to master with a DS4.

 

[Willectro]

Can't think of a PS+ game that has had a worse launch, so one would think that this would get special treatment. Sony and Evolution seem to think they are doing me a favor releasing this, when I paid for this months back via a subscription. Bad PR all around.

It's even harder with a wheel, most of the top leaderboard score are made with a DS4, join us at Drivecult-GAF for more info. (?)

 

[Badlucktroll]

Still not available in the US?

 

[mclem]

I did wonder if they might throw a bone of some description, since it comes across as a little bit of a bait-and-switch otherwise.

"Oh, this sub won't actually include Driveclub, in fact. Sorry. Your next sub will, though!"

Minor, but mildly bothersome.

 

[Loudninja]

Still not available in the US?

Tomorrow as well.

 

[Kane1345]

Brilliant game and I'm happy more people get to try it

I don't think you will get anybody disagreeing with you about the launch but they already have given the game special treatment. People who bought the game got two free DLC packs, and those that get the PS+ edition get more than what was origionally stated from the official announcement, now they get access to a startline tour that has a variety of different locations with additional cars from the main game as well as a few DLC cars.

 

[canedaddy]

I'm looking forward to checking this out. I'm interested but it'll depend on how the driving feels to me. Supposedly it's a sim/arcade mix leaning toward sim, but it's hard to tell what that means until you hit the road.

It's good, but they could still do better. I still see this as a opportunity for them to push DLC, etc, so again it's not like they are doing anyone a favor.

Was this for digital only? I bought the game a week or two after launch and never got free DLC.

It was available for free via the store.

 

[bananafactory]

Should be any version, you just have to go download it from the store.

 

[jacobeid]

Excited to try it finally. I've been looking for a good game to play while listening to music on Spotify and this could fit the bill nicely, especially with that price drop to $24.99.

 

[DustyVonEric]

Agent is next.

Tales from my buttocks.

 

[GoldenCrow]

Was this for digital only? I bought the game a week or two after launch and never got free DLC.

For everyone that owns the game. The Photo-Finish Tour Pack and the Ignition expansion pack.

 

[ElectricKaibutsu]

I forgot this was even coming. I wonder if they waited so long in order to rekindle interest in the game?

 

[GoldenCrow]

It's good, but they could still do better. I still see this as a opportunity for them to push DLC, etc, so again it's not like they are doing anyone a favor.

Well that has always been the point of the PS+ edition, it has always been a marketing tool.

 

[Hugstable]

Great to see this coming out now. I figured it would be awhile for this to come out as they probably wanted to focus on making sure the servers were completely stablized after everything that happened at launch. It's great that more people will finally get to experience this game.

 

[bananafactory]

I forgot this was even coming. I wonder if they waited so long in order to rekindle interest in the game?

No, they were still making server improvements. There was a huge server change about a month ago, they replaced all challenge servers and lifted the limit on number of participants, which I think was the last hurdle to clear for PS+

 

[Machinehead]

Fuck, finally something! I even downloaded The Crew demo, as I'm extremely thirsty for racing arcade games.

 

[Neuromancer]

Sad that online will be added in waves. The game is playable offline, which I truly appreciate, but at the same time not being part of a club and interacting with your fellow members (whether you're playing with each other live, or making challenges for each other, or just working together to level up your club and unlock new stuff) diminishes the experience.

 

[David Incorporated Esq.]

Oh nevermind it's just free. Okay.

 

[Loudninja]

I just bought it the other day during the digital sale. What exactly do you get out of the PS+ version?

15 cars and 1 location and all the modes.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

Should have released it in offline mode a year ago to be honest. I imagine the impact on actual sales numbers would have moved the needle more in the heat of release window. Cool that this is finally happening though, great game hampered by a disastrous launch window.

 

[Nakkilokki]

So the net code is still not ready for what happened in October.

I'm expecting a total destruction of the servers to be honest.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

It's a really great game. Just a shame that the launch has been such a complete fucking catastrophe. I hope in the long term it's successful enough that Shu commissions a sequel from Evolution, or at least they're allowed to develop another new game.

 

[Strangelove77]

I was actually able to download it yesterday. It's not for me. It's beautiful, buts it's not arcadey enough.
