"Your first look at everything coming to #‎DRIVECLUB in March!

Read on for full details of Update 1.12 coming next week...


The eagerly awaited Replay feature, big changes to Drift Mode and the Ferrari 599XX Evoluzione are the headlines, along with the Lamborghini Expansion Pack, plus many more improvements based on your continued community feedback - so please keep it coming!

Update 1.12:

» Adds Replays to the game for all Single Events and Tours. You can now save a Replay at the end of any single player event and view it later from the Replays section.
» Photomode can be used from within a Replay at any point.
» Introduces a new Driver Level 50 reward: You can now unlock the Ferrari 599XX Evoluzione for your Garage!
» Refines Drift Mode scoring to increase the points scored for momentum, control and staying on the track.
» Adjusts the drag reduction when veering off road, so that accidentally leaving the track slows you down more gradually.
» Adjusts the drag penalty on world collisions, to remove the possibility of gaining any advantage after colliding with a wall.
» Adds the option to control screen brightness in-game (in Display Options).
» Adds the option to change the volume levels on individual SFX channels (in the Settings Menu for Audio).
» Adds the option to make the AI opponents in a Single Event drive in the same car as the one the player chooses.
» Adds the option to select factory paint jobs for AI opponents (enable in Display Options).
» Removes the voicechat icon for any player you have chosen to mute in Multiplayer while you are driving.
» Adds new categories for downloaded Livery Packs within the Bonus Designs in Customisation.
» Adds status information about friends playing DRIVECLUB™ to the Social Hub.
» Immediately centres the camera view automatically when you reset to the track with the Touchpad button.
» Adds support for live streaming via Twitch and Ustream while playing Multiplayer.
» Improves the atmospheric visual effects further by improving heathaze and introducing mirages, which are visible on the road when light is refracted by hot air.
» Includes more minor bug fixes, performance improvements and usability tweaks.

Update 1.12 Add-ons (coming to PlayStation®Store March 24-26):

» Adds support for the Peugeot Onyx Concept, coming to PlayStation®Store as a free download.

» Private lobbies: Development of Private Lobbies for Multiplayer is ongoing alongside development of server improvements.
» Replays for Multiplayer: these require further development and testing.
» Lots more cars: We're only half way through the Season Pass that runs through to July and we have many more commonly requested cars and manufacturers coming to DRIVECLUB!

Sitting here, quietly waiting for Fords.

No JDM cars aswell , but budget is probably tight .

I feel like people overestimate the value of Japanese cars... I mean yes it's a shame they're not in the game but constantly asking for a 7 year old Nissan GT-R to be added doesn't excite me at all, especially after playing Gran Turismo and the only DLC car they ever added was the GT-R... :yuck:

If we're talking about Ford, I'd love to see the new GT, but that's not gonna happen since it's the Forza 6 hero car... Or the F150 Velociraptor, but that car wouldn't fit into any driveclub classes unfortunately... :(

But I'll happily take few Lambos with a proper sound recording, over, quite frankly any car on this planet...

Because of this sound :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:

I think there might be hope for their hot hatches like the Focus RS and Fiesta ST.

I'm pretty sure there are other japanese cars other than the GT-R.
 
Can't wait for the replay feature! For those who like to share hot laps on youtube, it's gonna be great!

I was very down with the game when it came out. But I decided to come back to it and give it another go. I have no regrets! At all! I bought a season pass and it's been worthy every cent.

Feel sorry for those who got down about the initial issues and never came back to the game. (As someone said before)

You know what also would be great? A sharefactory theme for Driveclub. But that is not up to Evolution...
 
I play DRIVECLUB daily and the fun of it is not wearing off. It feels fresh because it is supported so well by Evolution.

The replays are going to be great and they will make Photo Mode easier to use.

The Peugeot Onyx Concept is a cool car to get for free and it's copper paneling is going to be beautiful with DC gorgeous graphics. The Lamborghinis will be amazing and I will probably break down in tears when I hear them with the amazing sound of DC!

Japanese cars would be nice and they will arrive but I'm holding out for the Maserati MC12, LaFerrari and Caparo T1.
 
It looks highly unlikely they will add more Hot Hatches. No one is going to request them over sports, super and hyper. But I can't complain.

My first replay will be a full lap in a Black RUF RT12 drifting in the wet at 7 AM on Wester Ross.
 
I am most excited for the replay feature.
No better way to take in all of the beautiful graphics this game has.

I just hope they have cameras placed around the track and not just the cars.

From the (very brief) clip, it looks like you won't be disappointed there.

Actually, Hot-Hatches are requested a lot over on their FB page - I'd say about half as much as for Japanese cars.

I may be wrong (and I hope so), but the replay doesn't feature lap time? Or position in the race?

Edit: Re-watched the vid, and in the very beginning there's a "hide UI" option. But after that the only thing that is hidden is the replay time bar. No other info about the actual race?!?!

I think maybe that was the result of 'Hide UI' being shown as an example.
 
The only thing that interested me in this game on release day was the awesome looking graphics. Not enough reason for me to buy it though. And without replays half the game was missing, so it's great that they have updated it with this feature.

Now, if only they'd add a "Real Physics Mode" then I might actually buy it!


:)
 
@VBR I still think you will be surprised and enjoy it until PC come out later in May? It has a nice feel to the cars and interiors and the sense of speed is great in the rain and storms in point to point tracks in cockpit view. Are you missing out? :gtpflag:

You can pick up a cheap copy on Ebay or Tesco just reduced it again to £29 this week new disc:tup:

Please not since it's an arcade racing game.
Click to expand...

I said "option", so if you didn't want to use it you don't have to. GT6 has an option to make the physics arcade, it's called SRF, I don't see why DC can't have a Real Physics Mode.


Classic
I suppose you won't be buying it then! :lol:

If I did some how end up getting a PS4 & there was a deal where you got a two free games with it, then probably yeah!
