- why would clubs be 'coming soon?' Again, if it was held back for server issues, this should have been ready last October? And they must be part of the PS+ version as they said you'd be able to get the Plat with the PS+ version, and you need to join a club for a trophy.
Just strikes me as a bit strange.”
IIRC, it was said the PS+ download would be the same size as the normal game - so presumably it is the full version but certain parts are just locked off. In that case, as time has gone on, the PS+ Edition will have evolved just as the full version has, explaining the appearance of newer items.
Launching the PS+ Edition and having an effect on servers for the full game must be a big concern for Sony. Perhaps that's why clubs are marked as "coming soon" - the PS+ Edition may originate as a single player experience with clubs unlocked as a later date or as part of the upgrade?

That's certainly a possibility. If those servers aren't up yet it would explain the "coming soon" in the video. They could then migrate users to the other servers if/when they upgrade.
The only downside would be that those of us that own the game wouldn't be able to play with our PS+ Edition friends. Might be a way to encourage them to upgrade though.
