DOWNLOAD & INSTALLATION:
The update will be available from Feb 11th. Update size is 0.9GB bringing the total size of all updates combined so far to 13GB.
I haven't played it in a while either (kind of burnt it out a bit before Christmas re-doing all the stars), but I'll go back for the new elite levels and tracks.
I keep going back to it every so often, the Elite challenges are SOLID!!
Is the new expansion free?
The new track (which has 6 variants) is free. There are two packs coming Feb 23rd, one car and one bikes. I haven't seen anything that says they're going to be free. ( If they're not charging for them I'll be a bit surprised )
I thought it'd been a bit quiet on the updates front. Good to see Evolution still plugging away. Halfway through a 7 week hols, a lot of game rust to shake off when I get back!
Downloaded the No Limits tour this morning & finally got a chance to play on the new track. Haven't played this at all in a few weeks so hard to get back into.
Any of you guys playing the trackmania turbo beta?
I've got it downloaded but haven't had a chance to play it yet. Don't remember registering for it, so not sure why I got a code, but happy to give it a go!

I didnt request one either, I'm assuming its because I have previously bought Trials Fusion, this is just a car version of it.
I ended up putting a few hours back into Driveclub again last night for the first time in months. Is it me or have they upped the graphics yet again? I swear the lighting is improved and there's extra trackside detail on some of the old tracks.
Ah nuts. I was liked the look of this but did not enjoy trials really.

I tried the single player last night. It's similar to Trials in that they are quick 40 second tracks (plus longer multi-lap ones), and it's all about getting the best time. There's also multiplayer (including local), and a track builder.
But it's your standard driving game view (behind the car) with automated dropping to bonnet cam at certain points. (Didn't seem to be a way to control the camera).
It was ok, but didn't really grab me. I'm certainly not going to get it day 1. Might pick it up if I see it going cheap at some point.

Also, happy Christmas
Not getting near the ps4 today - mountain of toys in front of the TV!

When I'm not playing multiplayer I have no interest in going back. And I loved this game. It's all about the onlines.
Nice update tho, new tracks are always welcome.

Also did a few of the new Elite challenges - to say I was a bit rusty is an understatement!
I see Lisa still dominating most of the leaderboards.
