Dealspwn writes: Earlier this week, DriveClub's new director Paul Rustchynsky responded to comments about the PS Plus Edition of the game to give readers some much wanted details about the upcoming racing game. When asked how the full-priced retail edition and the PS Plus version would differ he said: "The difference is that you only have 10 cars and you can only race in one country (which gives you access to 5 tracks with 11 distinct variants)."
It wasn't long before disgruntled gamers started to question the rather thin nature of the release, especially seeing as earlier interviews with Sony and Evolution implied that the PS Plus Edition would appear, by most standards, to have content akin to that of a full-sized game and the full-priced version was going to be more of an extras-packed version, something more like the special editions we see ahead of other releases.
Sony has recruited Bungie's head of revenue Jaremy Rich to head up its live-service gaming division, Rich has announced on social media.
Please do not put Destiny’s monetization into Sony’s first party games. The monetization is what’s driving players away from Destiny.
I mean, this person made some pretty bad decisions at Bungie. I hope they've learned from them because I definitely don't see those type of ideas as good for PlaySation in general.
Ps5 gamers in 2023 seemed to play more live service types of games, so regardless to how people feel about them, numbers don’t lie and Sony is going where the money is. I mean look at the excitement around Helldivers2, people are showing that they want live service games.
How do you kill a franchise that already been killed?
Destiny’s grind, cash-in-on-playbass-cha-Ching, and pop-culture-insertion mainstream-me-too bs totally killed any rep Bungie had. Sony/Bungie, if you are doing this to ward-off players, it’s already working.
Sony has patented to add multiple dialogue modes to let players switch between how many conversations with NPCs they want in the game.
Sony is like the only ones outta the 3 that has atuff like like this pop up changing thing in ways.
Genuine Enabling Technology was seeking damages, claiming the tech allowing PlayStation consoles and controllers to communicate infringes its rights.
Sounds like patent trolling they tried the same thing against Nintendo with the same pattern.
Motion and control input traversing over higher and lower frequencies seperate from each other allowing the controller to do both
So to recoup the money Genuine is going to take on Nintendo or Microsoft next. I hate patent lawyers they are some of the worst bottom feeders out there.
Yes and no. As far as a free version goes, it actually has a decent enough amount of content for people to enjoy. The problem is that based on what we were told before, we were given the idea that we would have gotten a lot more content than we are being told now. I think they need to do something about this. People's expectations were set high because they told us to set them high.
It's better than having 1 car and 1 track in the demo, so no! i don't see a problem with having 10 cars and 5 tracks with 11 distinct variants. Anybody have a problem with the PS+ version, is the ones that wants too much out it. Just buy the hard-copy then! leave the PS+ version to ppl that have sense that appreciates it. 10 cars and 5 tracks is more than enough for me to play this version before i buy it. Stfu dealspwn.com!
Qoute from article :
Xbox 360 gamers that moved onto a PS4 are probably wondering what the hell all the fuss was about.
WTF? Who wrote this article?
Anyway, 10 cars and 5 tracks are enough for the start for trying a "demo" before buying a full game.
I honestly think that Evolution Studios should have just stayed with the Motorstorm franchise and develop a brand new one for the PS4 launch, instead of DriveClub. That game was so awesome to play on the PS3 when it launched, and just imagine what a Motorstorm game would look like with all the extra horsepower and memory of the PS4.
Hopefully their next game after DriveClub is Motorstorm!
Anybody who's disappointed with 10 cars / 5 tracks had stupidly unrealistic expectations to begin with. Sony was never going to give you a full, brand-new AAA title for free. Come on.
I'm looking forward to playing this. Depending on how the free stuff turns out, I may buy the full version.
