Hoorah !. I managed to get online long enough to join the DS1 club lol. I tried playing the game using my Vita but I find it difficult to control. oh and I took the plunge and bought the season pass. I have faith in the game

Damn, I've done 20% of trophies!!

I've unlocked 29% of trophies but I don't want a refund anyway as I've really enjoyed what I've played so far & it'll improve eventually. Remember the problems GTA 5 had at the start? If I just abandoned a game because the online was faulty at the start, I'd never have put in over 200 hours on Battlefield 4, my favourite game this generation

Yeah I wouldn't either just don't remember them doing this with a game before.

Ps. Talking about problems jeeez lego movie is a bit problematic to say the least.

In an ideal world we wouldn't have these issues to begin with, but kudos to Sony for looking after their customers.

I stuck with bf as well, bought premium right from release. I just don't know if driveclub will have any longevity even if they sort the clusterfeck out?! This is happening a lot now where devs just release unfinished, buggy games because of deadlines. I'm sure driver AI was better in toca 2. Maybe shouldn't have steamed in and bought under the influence.

I wouldn't get shot of DC either to be honest. I, like many others, have waited a long time for this game and I'm sticking with it come rain or shine....or snow or any other weather when the update comes

I don't like the look of The Crew & Project Cars is a bit too much of a hardcore sim for me so this suits me nicely & will hopefully last me a while with the DLC they release & the online races. I'll buy the season pass once we see how they handle this debacle.

I'll be getting a Xbox One around the new year for Christmas or my birthday, so I'll be getting Forza 2 too for a free roam racer since there's no NFS or Burnout released this year.

The AI is quite aggressive but I've not found it to be overly so. Only time it's annoyed me is when I've been trying to get 3 stars in an event and getting crashed into just before the end. If anything, it makes the game more of a challenge as its not easy to finish first all the time & add to the longevity when trying to get all the stars.

Online has been good when I've managed to get a race. Opponents aren't overly aggressive because they get penalised for ramming into, cutting corners etc.

The only thing I miss is a good soundtrack in the menus and during the race, although the engine noise & sound of the wind when fleeing down the road sound sweet 😎

Seems a bit OTT of Sony to offer refunds over temporarily missing fuctionality but really it shouldn't have come to this. Turning into a bit of a disaster now for the studio. Did I read somewhere that Evolution are UK based as well? Not good if so.

Pity when they got so much right and even delayed the game for nearly a year to work on getting other aspects absolutely nailed.

I thought I read somewhere that it does have a soundtrack but is turned off by default ?

I'll probably get this as long as they don't take too long to fix it. I don't fancy the crew at all. Pcars....well, we'll see but only really wanted one good racer

Hoorah! I got online for a little while, joined the Digital Spy 1 club and got it up to Level 7 before getting booted offline again!!

I'm also online now but it's very temperamental, sometimes slow at loading leaderboards etc and I'm under no illusions that this functionality could disappear again at any moment.

I've sent a request to join DS#1 but judging by posts earlier I'm too late to the party on that front. Oh well.

PS+ subscriber waiting patiently...

Your turn to start Digital Spy 2 then. I think I was lucky enough to get the last place in team 1 (for now, unless I get booted out for being useless). Once there are two teams and the challenges are up and running then it'll be quite fun facing off against each other.

Just switched off after achieving 3 stars in the Norsk Hill Clime, reaching level 24 and the club just turned level 8

Same. By the time we get to play everyone will have already moved onto something else.

oh good we're full. We won't boot anybody for been crap. It's all for fun.

Get rolling on Digital Spy 2.

Ok so thought I would download driveclub. As I am a ps+ subscriber it said I could could "purchase" the upgrade for £34.99. Question is if I buy it, is it the full game and does include multiplayer online?

Yes it's the full game. If the online multiplayer was working, it would be included.

Oooohh...

Yes. Full game with online.

I wouldn't bother though. It looks lovely, really next gen. Single player is just ok and multiplayer still doesn't work. The AI is shocking. They just run into the back of you all the time and push you off the track in their desperation to get back on the racing line. They always manage to push you. Always. Disappointing.

I bought it and I have moved onto something else.

Enjoyed playing it tonight once I changed to the cockpit view.
I will start digital spy 2 tomorrow. Anyone wants in, stick your psn down.
My psn id is mickey_eyes. Only lewis hamilton wannabees need apply, 😄, joking...

Digital Spy 1 Team currently ranked 2262nd team in the world (and dropping comstantly!!).

Hi I created Digital Spy 2 yesterday, not sure if it worked though. If not, please invite me. Psn is dephanix
