Driveclub - April Update out now!

No weather update still? :fp:

I'm going to go ahead and say that is piss strawberry floating poor compensation for the state they released this game in.

The fact that there's no mention of Challenges is a joke.

I'd love to buy the Season Pass but like strawberry float am I paying the full £20 whack for something that's going to see a fraction of the use it should have because they strawberry floated up the games release.

Embarrassing.

Edit: Is that a Game of Thrones joke :fp:

Quite a lot of free content though.

Does anyone know how the drifts are scored?

I seem to get better scores if I throw a car in to a corner with no intention of driving out of it cleanly than I do if I take a nice smooth drift.

I think it's a multiplication of speed and the angle between direction of movement and direction of car.

I spoke too soon :lol:

I think these updates on Facebook are a bit shady, as far as I can see they are English language only. They should be on the PlayStation Blog or website with localised versions.

So I made it to level 50.

Well done. After putting it down for a while the damn time trialling keeps me coming back. I think I'll commit to levelling up once a day from now on.

I think DriveClub is probably the most infuriating game I've ever owned, because everything about the gameplay is strawberry floating sublime, but the server issues are a kick in the balls. There's still a load of enjoyment to be had in its current state, but it could be so much more if it just worked.

Yeah I really enjoy the game, but damn it if isnt frustrating. Myself and Crimson spent ages trying to get a game the other night and literally one race is all we could get, and even getting that was a nightmare. The Plus version should have been the testing ground, the greedy strawberry floats.

Frankly, I'm amazed this carcrash of a game still somehow staggers on. I'm not even tempted to reinstall my paid-for copy with the news of this DLC.

FIX THE DAMN GAME.

The DLC can all come later, but not before they get the basic functionality sorted out. Just make it work. That's all they have to do at this stage.

I'll check back here in a month's time to see if the game's still on life-support/snuffed it/miraculously recovered.

Agreed. This is still somehow the best racer I've ever played :datass:

Time Trial/Hot Lap events are so damn addictive.

I don't think I'm going to bother grinding to level 50 though, I still have a few more events left to 3 star, by which time the new ones will be available.

Went on last night and there's still huge chunks not working.

Aside from time trials there is nothing left to do in this game :fp:

I played this a bit over the weekend. I swear that on Saturday I got the team up to level 29 but when I played on Sunday, back to 28.

Leaderboards now update more often, but there are still times when they refuse to take your latest time.

It wasn't a grind, just having fun doing races and going after accolades. I'm not going to stop playing now I'm at level 50, I wish they'd increase the upper limit actually.

It doesn't go past 50? That's a bit gooseberry fool

I'm glad it doesn't become a grind though after the main events!

The whole thing is down at the moment. Goodness knows what they're doing.

There's PSN maintenance from 5pm until 11pm today.

That almost explains why I lost my connection to the servers. If it wasn't for the fact that Destiny was working fine.

Evolution Studios has released the DriveClub 1.07 update.
