Looks great, shame EA don't take note of this and put time and effort into their games and stop releasing half finished shit like the world cup game they just coughed up!

I'm only disappointed that the world cup game isn't available for the pc but then again maybe that's not a bad thing!!

Trust me your better off its not that great.

You gotta watch this in 720p the game looks stunning:

They messed up this game the weather effects are being patched into the game at a later date and to make matters worse there was supposed to be PSN+ version with a few tracks and cars to try out then you could upgrade to free version this has been delayed due to server issues but you can still download the full version o buy a physical copy of the game. Kinda defeats the purpose try before you buy

Its still looking to be a great racer. Leans more to arcade more than hardcore sim but has plenty of racing. I will be picking up on Friday on pre order

Finally got around to buying a PS4 so I pre-ordered the Drive Club bundle, looking forward to thrashing some laps out this weekend

My pre-ordered copy arrived and I have to admit to being apprehensive after reading mixed reviews. Some good some very bad. I have to say having played it a little while though thats its a really good racer. Totally enjoyable and perhaps up there with the Forza games. The visuals are very nice and definitely next gen though they are not quite as good as has been claimed in sections of the gaming press. (Usual back handers to reviewers methinks). Pretty to look at though.
One thing that is appalling however, is this little gem from the money grabbing fucking con artists who developed it......
'Those who picked up a new copy of Driveclub will not be able to take the game online unless space has been freed up by others logging out.
The one-in-one-out policy is a result of the game's servers failing to manage demand just days after going on sale. These connection issues have also delayed the free PlayStation Plus edition of the game.
"We're just as frustrated as you about the server performance issues right now," the game's developer, Evolution Studios, wrote on its Facebook page.
"We want you to be racing with clubs and having fun playing challenges, not checking Facebook updates from us to see if the servers are updated yet."
An abridged version of the PlayStation 4 racing title--which is free to PlayStation Plus subscribers--was scheduled to launch in North America on Tuesday and across Europe on Wednesday, but neither has appeared.
The Evolution spokesperson said a further information regarding the problems will be issued later on Thursday.
"In case you don't already know, the servers are up and running but they are hitting their performance limits, so they won't accept new connections until one of the current online players frees up their space," the studio explained.
"If and when you get online, you should not have any connectivity issues during the remainder of your session. When you finish and disconnect, you'll free up a space for someone else. This is obviously not ideal, especially given that there are a lot of players waiting to connect, but that's how it's working right now."

Sinking to new depths is my thought.

Still cannot access this online after 3 days now and given the whole premise is to race in a club online that makes it pretty much redundant. The single player element is ok but nothing to make it any different than what has gone before. The graphics are admittedly next gen and pretty but at times they are too much. While racing the glare from the sun means you can't actually see the track so you end up crashing into the barrier. Some glaring errors in content too. Very limited customisation and cannot buy cars but have to earn them through progression with no choice of what car you get. Half the fun is buying stuff and customising it. Don't even seem to get a replay function though I might have missed this. Overall the game seems to been made by a bunch of amatuers who seemingly had a target for a million online players, yet didn't think to make sure they had server space to cope with that level of demand. Can see this being traded very soon. If contemplating buying then heed my advice, avoid and save your money.
