Bought it using the app, clicked download to PS4 & then it crashed saying that it couldn't refresh. Now there's no option to download http://imgur.com/4wJDALj Hope it's downloaded when I get home!
I had just edited my above post. The bikes isnt a download. So long as you have the update downloaded then you'll be good to go.

Impressions when you have them, please. Am tempted by the bikes but difficult to justify when what I really want is new tracks and locales.

I cant seem toget into it. I click on the DC Bikes section and then it prompts me to go to the store and buy it. If i hit X it takes me to the store where it tells me that its already bought

Mine was failing on the patch but might have been a storage issue. Removed some stuff so hopefully at least gets the patch.
Will hang off with bikes for now

It's working for me... and you'll all be pleased to know I'm terrible at it! Trying to follow the same lines as I did in the cars is not the way forward, then factor in the leaning thing. I might stay away from it until the trophies have been activated, because it's still showing as 100% on my list.

For bikes, the drift event has been replaced with a skill mode.

Edit: Oh just realised there's a separate list for Driveclub Bikes trophies. I thought they'd be added onto the main DC chocker list... as you were.

I like it. Just did the first race and the handling is perfect, every bit as good as the cars.

But its nothing revolutionary at the same time



Edit: Skill runs - AWESOME !!!!!


BTW Lisa, trophies are popping for me.

Yeah I got one mucking about in the skill section and then that's when I checked the trophies and realised they were their own list and not with Driveclub's,

Getting better at it, won the first event comfortably and that was with coming off the bike trying to do a skill overtake.

It must be syncing at different rates/regions because you don't appear on any of my friend leaderboards in the tour and yet I did that challenge you sent and I saw you on the global leaderboard for the Snow Business skill run. You were one place ahead, by about 20 points 15,6-something, couldn't let that lie.

i wouldnt have let it lie either

Maybe the servers were hit hard today. It might start registering score/times better in a few days.

This game is still better than Forza 6. Infact Drive club is one of the best racers I've played on any console I'm glad this game was delayed as its game play is unrivalled.

Driveclub are currently showing off even more new secret stuff behind closed doors in Paris.

Meanwhile, Rushy has confirmed more 4 wheeled vehicles are on the way.

BOOM! Evo have got Driveclub running on VR and are showing it off behind closed doors in Paris.

There are some compromises with the current prototype. The car count has been reduced from 12 to 8 per race. The weather and cloud system has been toned down, as has some trackside details and rear view mirrors.

But all of this means the game is now running at the requisite 60 fps and work is continuing for the next 6 months to optimise it further and hopefully release it to the public.

I must say this has dampened the little enthusiasm I had for VR.
If it's going to be anything like 3D gaming where games reverted to graphics akin to the previous generation then I think I'll just leave it, especially in light of the hefty cost.

Need to give it a try to see just what it's like but I'm guessing it's not going to look too pretty.

There's definitely something odd going on with the leaderbards because neither you or Yuffie have been appearing in mine for quite a while but we still seem to be PSN friends. Plus, of course, loads of the average speed challenges within tracks pop up with you!

Apparently the scaling back isn't too noticeable. I imagine there'd be a bit less vegetation etc, maybe the weather effects might be toned down a bit - but given how rock solid the 30fps is even with the insane rain effects etc for all we know if they took off the 30fps cap the framerate might already be averaging somewhere in the 50s so tweaks to get it to 60 might be reasonably minor. Even if not the sensation provided by VR *might* make worrying about a few trees and shrubs seem silly if it's as awesome as people who've tried it seem to be saying.

That is amazing news. As someone said yesterday, driving games lend themselves best to VR, and this game will be so surreal. VR keeps getting better and better.

Bike Tour complete with all stars!

The sense of speed on the bikes is fantastic, which I'm sure will only look better in VR, but I'm not feeling that kind of tech yet, seems a bit gimmicky like 3DTV that never really took hold. Maybe in the future when virtual reality and all that futuristic stuff is the set norm.

The skill runs are my new favourite thing, especially the addition of a timer so it stops people messing about trying to hold a wheelie or stoppie for an impossible score,

Have you tried it Lisa ?

If you haven't them you should reserve all judgement until you put some VR over your head. The level of immersion cant be described or shown in a video.

My new favorite thing too. So much fun

Although i feel the bolk of the points come from the speed zones.

Ha! I did go to sleep in the end. I liked that they did add some difficulty with having some stars that had to be completed together and some added clean lap requirements to the time trials.

No. I'm assuming Game will have a demo stall near release, so I can at least have a proper go with it. I'm just hedging my bets for now, until I know more. Driving and shooters will get the most benefit out of it though.
