...but this season pass isn't the full game is it ?

We get ps version free so india.
We then buy the full game if we want? Then they want to add dlc on top of this? So the full game really isn't the full game then ?
I'm confused
Pretty much.

You have the ps+ edition.

You can then buy the full game on top of that, for a small fee

You can then buy more DLC on top of that, for a small fee

The full game nowadays is never The Full Game. That's why I usually hate season passes.

Good point gilly. The full game isn't really the full game.

I know they're all at it but I just feel they have all this extra already and are holding it back for dlc to make up for the freebie plus version.

There's a little bit of outrage about the dlc on the Playstation blog.

I read the weather was in a day one update unless that's changed now.

Will see how the 'demo' goes but I'm being driven more to project cars at the moment with this dlc talk at the moment.

The game has now gone gold. Not long to wait now but from all the recent footage, it seems the delay has paid off

The dynamic weather (and photo mode) were never part of the original plan for the game. These are additional features that have been made possible by the extra time allowed. Delaying the game further for these nice to have but not essential features would have been a mistake. I think it's right that they are being added for free post launch.

The dynamic weather system will be added this year.

I have no idea what a full game is or is supposed to be.

We probably haven't had a full game since the ps1 / maybe ps2 eras.

Y though. No one's forced into taking it. It's no different from Forza or most other racing games. I see it as if you want 'everything' the game has to offer then get the dlc/season pass.

Ah I do kinda understand where they're coming from.

You're paying £45/€60 for a game which is quite expensive as it is. Then as soon as you buy the game, there's more content for buying.

It's not like they sell you a game and then go to work on some extra content that you can get 6 months down the line.

The content is there, ready to go, and they won't put it in the main game.


If this continues developers could just take a chunk of the game out and then charge extra for it when the games come out.

But it is the way the industry is heading. I'm not too bothered. If I like the game I'll get the extras. But I can see why it pisses people off.

I remember when I bought Need for Speed on 3DO. That game came with 3 tracks which each has 3 parts to them and a total of 8 cars, I thought that was a pretty good package at the time.

Assassins Creed 2 springs to mind, that had whole sequences removed and later sold as DLC.

Get the balance right and I'd buy DLC for any the games I own, or the games that I'd frequently play. I mean f*ck paying over the odds for a little bit of DLC such as skins or so called unique items when it's not unique so to speak.

I think the fairest one I can think of just now is Battlefield Premium, despite being owned by EA and/or DICE, there is a fair amount of content that's been released considering I got Premium for £25.

The thing I get annoyed with on bf premium is that when I pre order I get the bonus map pack but then they give it in the premium so I sort of feel like I'm paying for that map pack again as such.

I felt the same way when this happened with the LA Noire season pass. Anyone who got a free case as a preorder bonus lost out on the season pass meaning those who didnt preorder got a better deal .

It seems Driveclub will be an approx 17GB download. Nice and trim for a full game I suppose. The slimmed down PS+ version will contain all the game data and will therefore be the same size, which is good news for those wanting to upgrade quickly, but quite a lot for those just treating it as a demo / freebie.

The full game should be available on the PS Store to pre-purchase next week, and will be pre-load enabled. Hopefully, you'll be able to buy it PS+ discounted then, as the PS+ Edition (with subsequent upgrade option) won't hit until 10/10.

A bit more info about the launch.

They are "aiming" to have the PS+ discount active on the pre-order, so you shouldn't have wait until 10/10, get PS+ version and then upgrade for the lower price if you're planning on taking that route.

If you are waiting for the PS+ version (which you can't pre-download) you can start playing after you have the first 3.5GB. The rest will download in the background.

Yep. Fully aware of what PlayGo is. Just letting people know how much is required before they can start playing.

Driveclub will be released in addition to the PS+ games so you'll still get 2 16 bit games next month too
