Yep. It's the full version but you must have ps+ to get it, and it costs £35.

Sony has an article on the PS Blog about the delay. People are going mental in the comments. Entertaining stuff.

An Update on Driveclub

The main game is downloaded ready to go, except:

Special Mercedes SLS AMG Coupe Black Series Pack
Special RUF RT12R Pack
Special McLaren 12C Pack

All of the above showing as "Cannot download" for some reason. I'm hoping it will retry successfully on or before release day !

I feel their pain, I'm so mad at this farce, I still don't understand why Plus users can't just play single player and Evolution block multiplayer for the moment. But they are happy for you to play if you hand over cold hard cash...

Lol at blog. We have delaystation or delayclub....its for the payers.

Seriously. I said this the other day on here to those that have defended the shit ps+ who say its online we're paying for. ..the games are just a bonus.

This money we are paying is going to subsidise thier other divisions plain and simple.

Hare and the tortise here. MS will win this Gen.

disappointing for those that were relying on the PS+ version as a means of helping them decide whether to purchase the full version or not.

I find it disgusting that they'll happily take your money still so you can play it. It's not like the PS + version is the issue, it's the online part. Paid and free version has online so why Plus users get shafted i'll never know. As I said before, restrict the Plus version to single player only until the issues are resolved.

Heh That made me chuckle

Agree that they should have released a single player only version for the plus users. The current situation is a bit of a mess really, after the length of the delay to have such significant issues at launch is embarrassing. I know that online aspects of games are difficult to predict etc. but still..... Shame is that it seems that there is a decent racer underneath all this.


Still looking forward to the game. Was speaking to someone who had played it the other day and they spoke positively about the handling etc., so I may just go for it. Project Cars sounds to sim-like to me and The Club doesn't appeal. £35 seems like a decent price for a quick blast racer, which is just what I am after at the moment.

I will join Digispy B team if applications are still open...

That's what I wanna know? ... Despite them now taking a mandatory online sub PSNetwork seems to have gotten worse! ... The amount of maintainance & other problems is shocking!

(XBL it certainly ain't!!!) 🙈

I have the feeling MS will "win" this gen too. They seem to be really on the ball with updates, servers, buying up games (Tomb Raider).

They may have got a lot of bad press last year, but they have really turned it around this year, and Sony have gone from having a great 2013 to a crap 2014.

Sony need a big kick up the hole, and I hope they get it sooner rather than later, so things for the ps4 doesn't get any worse.

At least the X1 has a racing game that works. And MS didn't piss off the entire Xbox gamer base releasing it.

It does and it's average.
The only x1 exclusive I have enjoyed greatly is Ryse. I got Shadow of Mordor on x1 just because I felt I should get something for the dust collector. Halo bores the hell out of me and Sunset Overdrive does not look my thing whatsoever so future looks bleak for the XboxDust in my house!. Was excited for Titanfall - massive let down. DR3 is not my thing and I'll get TR 2nd hand as I didn't like the way that was handled.

I understand where you're coming from, but I don't think what you're suggesting is possible. The free and paid for versions are identical, it's just that parts of it are locked out if you haven't paid. I don't see how PSN would be able to differentiate between the two.

They do have an old 3 track demo though, used at Gamescom, EGX and in stores. They could throw that up as an interim measure I guess not sure how long things like that take.

This will blow over like every other crisis, the great hack Tha left PSN totally disabled for weeks, never stopped the PS3 from winning last gen. Its a glitch in a much larger picture and will soon be forgotten.

I hope your wrong.

Though this reminds me of the X1 reveal and MS were making big news of their servers, many belittled the news, oh how the boot is firmly on the other foot now.

Fanboys with egg on their face... never a good look

It should be noted that the problems are actually with Driveclub's own servers, not PSN itself.

Not that gamers will see it that way.
