Sony’s Free To Play DriveClub Getting “New And Updated” Demo Next Month

Blame the track, blame the environment, but it was hard to get too much of a grasp on what the game was all about from such a limited taster. Thankfully, Evolution have continued to push on, and there’ll be a “new and updated” demo shown off at Gamescom next month.

[Donnieboi]

So...the game is being released in Beta form? I mean, how are they gonna complete enough of it by the release date? Just wondering...

I guess it's cool if it's free, but a retail version needs to be more complete if it's coming out this year.

[Enemy]

Isn't it funny to see Xbox One enthusiasts compare their "top" exclusives to a F2P game on PS4? :)

It probably is going to release in beta considering I don't understand how they'd complete the other 65% by PS4's launch. Or maybe they will. That hasn't been confirmed.

[Donnieboi]

Edit: Yeah, that has nothing to do with what I said, but I was just wondering if this is a Beta or not. Kinda wishing they put GT6 on PS4 (enhanced next-gen version, as well as PS3 version) instead right about now.

[georgeenoob]

Only 35%? They got 4 months left, and 65% left to go. Have fun with that!

In all seriousness the devs will probably just get lazy with it considering it's free. Actually, it seems like they already are getting lazy.

[kwyjibo]

@Enemy - I guess you find it "funny" that Sony enthusiasts are comparing GT with F2P too?

[lcsapo]

Because the 35% version was shown on the E3 Nobody knows what level they are at the moment. There isn't any indication at the moment what the 35% means. I don't know too much of software development, but I think many things like tracks cars UI are done parallel and those could have been ready before the E3 just simply not included. The major question which remains how much of the remaining 65% is the engine it self. Are we gonna see better visuals? Better control? Better physics? Sure the 4 moths left is damn short, so I hope they are much further than the E3 demo. Anyway, I'll see it with my own eyes on the Gamescom! Yeah baby!

[grimmweisse]

@george,

Yes, only 35% complete, as opposed to all those completed next-gen games we've seen.....oh wait....! Those are also still in development.

You have no idea how development works. You just like to find convenient ways to troll. Developers work up to last given time possible to make sure they release the best product they can.

So from what we've seen from Drive Club so far, means the next build to be shown will be a great improvement.

And some education for you muppet, the free version of the game is for PSN+ members, and it not the complete game, you don't get all the tracks and cars, if you want the full title then you have to pay. Like KI, one character free, access to all modes, if you want all the other characters you need to pay. So before trying to be the smart boy in class, get your facts in order you tit!

[Angeljuice]

@georgeenoob

The demo was of code at 35%. That demo may have been ready since the February reveal (we simply don't know). There are two main reasons why this may have been the case:

1) They were too busy making a launch game (New IP) to produce an updated demo for E3.

2) The game looks so amazing that if they had shown it in all its sublime glory, nobody would have seen there was more than just great graphics.

Now I'm a big fan of the PS4, but even I think number 1 is more likely. Just because their demo shown at and after E3 was 35%, it doesn't mean their game code wasn't at 75% (or higher) at the time.

We'll see how far they've come at GC.

[MariaHelFutura]

When Evo studios first showed Motorstorm it didn't look great, it came out and looked amazing. Pacific Rift was first shown and it didn't look great, it came out and looked amazing. I have zero doubt Driveclub will be any different. KZ2 was the same situation.

[dantesparda]

There you have it folks, KI devs are going to get lazy developing KI because its free to play, as a matter of fact, they seem to be getting lazy right now. That's the new MS fanboys talking point (and remember KI is coming from a D team)

[sarcastoid]

You guys realize that just because they showed a 35% complete demo at e3 doesn't mean they were only 35% complete at that time, right? Good lord

[Sevir]

It's not a traditional free to play! Lol... It would be free to play if the game was only releasing in PS+... Calling it Free to play is wrong when there is a full retail version of the game launching day and date the console.

Killer instinct is free to play.

Warframe, DCUO, Planetside 2... Those are all free to play...

Driveclub is just being offered to you like any other PS+ game for subscribing.

It's a full on multi-million dollar big budget game from a top tier studio.

Calling Driveclub free to play is like calling infamous 2, uncharted 3 or LBP:Karting Free to play because it's offered on PS+.

A fun fun fact... Free to Play games like Warframe, DCUO, Planetside2 etc; Are NOT BEHIND the pay wall of PS+ to enjoy online...

Driveclub is... So this conclusion that the game is some small psn/plus exclusive is false, especially when Sony hasn't even detailed what's being had in the PS+ edition... It's just an incentive for getting people to enjoy online play with Driveclub since PS+ is required to play online retail games.

[abzdine]

Updated demo to me Sound like a demo from the latest built cause what we've seen so far is made from pre-alpha code.
The demo should be ready for gamescom and that's good cause I'm gonna be there to try it for myself

[Sharingan_no_Kakashi]

Oh spare me. Apart from Knack, Forza 5 has got to be the most non next gen game i've seen so far. Forget the fake lighting. forget the fake shadows, forget the fake clouds, forget that it still doesn't have day night cycles, forget that it doesn't have weather. The engine that it uses can't even render the small environments completely. Watch any gameplay of the cockpit view, look in the rear view mirror and you'll see that as you pass stuff it dissappears off the map. That's a last gen trick, my friend. And people are praising it for running 60fps. Heck it's easy to process 60fps when you don't have to process anything else.

[Pisque]

It's a F2P so you'll probably see a ton of updates or DLCs

[HammadTheBeast]

It's not free to play, it's a retail game with a "demo" version for free on PS+ with less cars, tracks.

[M-M]

@HammadTheBeast,

"It's not free to play, it's a retail version for free on PS+ with less cars, tracks."

Fixed.

[claterz]

Is that going to be the excuse when this game comes out unfinished then?

its not a free to play game for a start, people without Plus have to pay full price. it's like saying BF3 is free to play on PS3 because its part of the instant game collection. DriveClub is rushed and its missing features that should have been there, stop defending it!

[brave27heart]

Driveclub is rushed?

You know this how exactly?

Until the game is out dont judge it.

[claterz]

brave27heart
I think it's rushed because they are having to patch in massive features that should have been there from the start, they openly said that the game was 35% compete just a few months back, and they aren't even reaching 60FPS. Racing games this gen are 60FPS so I don't know why DriveClub can't do it. If Forza can do it on weaker hardware, then there's no excuse for DriveClub IMO.

For the record I love Evolutions games, I have bought every Motorstorm game (even Vita)and platted 2 of them, I'm just saying the game seems to have a long way to go until it can compete with other racers. I'd rather them delay it just to get it to the 60FPS mark, it would make such a difference for an arcade racer.

At least you replied unlike 16 other people :)

[nnodley]

Hey Claterz can you please link to where Evo said they have to patch in features on day one? I bet you can't because that was Turn 10 and Forza 5 that has a day one patch to add drivatars and other stuff.

Evo has never once said they have to have a day one patch to add features. And does anybody really know how development works anyway or are you all gonna act like you do. I sure as hell don't so I'm not gonna act like I do.

Actually I just looked it up and all I see is them saying that they will probably patch in weather effects after day one so it could be anytime. They also said they are gonna tweak and refine the game for a year or two.

[claterz]

nnodley
Well you just said it, Evo are planning to patch in weather effects after launch, as well as damage effects (although I think cars will have slight damage at launch). What the hell is wrong with you people? lol. Just sit back and let developers release games that are missing features that should have been in the game at launch. It's funny because the people defending this are probably the same ones who criticize Forza for not having weather effects and night racing. This gen was bad enough with post release patches adding fixes, but to leave something as big as weather effects to be patched, it just seems like the kind of thing that they would have meant to have in the game at launch, not after it. It also annoys me how people are using the F2P excuse when this game is not even close to being free to play, it's a full price retail game UNLESS you pay for Plus.

I do remember them saying that they were planning on supporting the game with tweaks and refinements over the first few years, but I don't really know what they mean by that so I can't complain. if they mean fixing bugs, glitches and stuff then obviously that's not ideal but hopefully they're talking about adding new content and features like what happened with GT5.

As I said though, I love Evo and I'm still looking forward to this game but after the promises they made at the Feb PS4 reveal it just doesn't seem to live up to the expectations and doesn't hold up well against other next gen racers imo. I wonder if they'll be able to patch in 60FPS lol, if it's not 60FPS it's a no buy from me, it's supposed to be a next gen game FFS.

[Dee_91]

@claterz
Do you really know what your talking about or are just typing because your bored?

No current gen console game is running at 1080p and 60fps.GT5&GT6 are around 1280x1080 scaled up to 1920x1080 60fps, forza 4 is 720p 60fps,all nfs are 720p 30fps, grid1&2 , dirt 1-3 all 720p 30fps.
How is weather a feature that should be in the game at launch? You should read those articles again.If weather was something they wanted to add from day one it would be in the game come launch but since it wasn't and now that people want weather they will add it.Later on.
Theres a huge difference between adding weather later on and not having weather at all.
If you think improving a game post release is a negative then you need to go back to ps2 era kid.

[Colzer01]

That's why it won't coming on 60FPS, not a design choice, but they didn't really have much time lol

Even the damage effects won't be at launch LOL
http://www.vg247.com/2013/0...

[HammadTheBeast]

So is the lack of dynamic weather, lighting, shadows, and clouds also a "design" choice?

Also, they've said they're aiming for 60 fps.

If, even at 35% complete it looks decent (and it's always the case that graphical polish is added later in development), let's wait until release to compare.

[SuperLupe]

Wow funny how "dynamic weather" is the most important element in a racing game now ... people sounding more and more desperate.

I would have thought that graphical fidelity, frame rate, car physics etc would be what PS4 gamers look for the most in a racing game ... NOPE its the dynamic lighting, cant wait to drive those sun rays !

Oh and last time I checked Forza 5 still graphically blew Driveclub out of the water, keep you dynamic lighting boy, I'll take all the rest :)

[grimmweisse]

Did you even read the article you linked?

"“We’re not making Burnout, but the cars do damage, they deform and all that kind of stuff, so you are effectively scuffing up million pound supercars,”.

And it's more positive than negative. "The game that you play day one on PlayStation 4 is not going to be the same game you play a year down the line because it will have evolved a lot. We’re keeping the development architecture of the tracks etc very much open. We’re not closing off anything just yet."

Meaning they will support the game for some time, adding in features and making the for an overall better game.

[Ju]

Of course environmental accuracy has an impact on driving as much as physics accurate simulation of a car. The type of pavement (asphalt, gravel, dirt, cracks, inaccuracies), water, wind - yes sunlight - has an impact how you drive. Keeping the foot on the pedal while sun flares limits your vision should have an impact - because you need to be more careful. Of course it is part of a racing game.

BTW: So is damage - but it's cosmetic (simply for an arcade racer it's probably more important to finish a race) but at the same time it's still fun seeing how you can trash your car during the race.

[Thegamer41]

What I understood from that is they built a working demo for people to play on an old build (when they were at 35% completion). It does not mean they are at 35% into the developing process right now so they will make a new demo at the stage they are right now.

[TIER1xWOLFPACKx]

Atlast someone that has some brains. Just because they shown what they had at e3 was 35% doesn't mean they were at 35% completion at that time. They have to plan months ahead to create a demo that demo shown at e3 was probably in creation 2months or so before e3 to make sure it's ready.

[fermcr]

I thought Drive Club was a PS4 launch title... and it's only 35% complete?

[sarcastoid]

comprehension level: xbox one

[G20WLY]

Good God man :| *Facepalm*

Read the post below by fei-hung, that should help you.

[HammadTheBeast]

The demo shown at E3 was 35% complete.

And I think you just complimented the "Sony Master Race".

[fei-hung]

It's simple when you understand what is said and what people are making out of it.

The demo was of a build which was 35% complete. Logic translation would be that the demo was put together at a time when the game was only 35% complete. This date was not yesterday, E3 or a week before E3. Demo builds get usually worked on long before their release.

Considering there is an updated demo being released which is further along and possibly a better representation of the final product, I don't understand why people are so adamant on flaming this game and ignoring any factual information released about the demo or game.

it's like listning to a bunch of people who are oblivious to anything around them.

[Aceman18]

Its n4g that right pretty much tells ya that its filled with irrational people who chose not to go by facts, and believe whatever the hell they want.

For me the game looks like its coming along good can't wait to see the new demo at gamescon

[Cmk0121]

To me the free to play model sucks. It's always pay to win, like world of tanks, like Spartacus, etc if the changes are anything more than cosmetic they make it pay to win. And in that case is rather they release a polished 60 dollar game putting folks on level playing field instead of a quasi polished game they are still working on in which to remain competive I need to pay for crap over time ultimately costingmore than 60 bucks or grind out 5 times as hard as everyone else paying. It's a crap PC model IMHO and I know everyone probably
Disagrees with me
And that's cool.

[JP1369]

What's that have to do with Drive Club, which isn't F2P? Despite what the headline says, only a pared down version will be give to Plus members for free, while a full retail release will also take place.

[darren_poolies]

It's not F2P it is going to be a full retail game sold for £40. A free version will be offered to PS+ members i.e. it will be missing some features and you will have the option to upgrade to the full game as a discounted price. How are people not getting this? It is very easy to understand.

[Lboogieskells]

“New And Updated” Demo Next Month"

Their referring to the demo build everyone has been bashing.

[AceBlazer13]

Isn't Forza 5 going to need a huge day 1 patch cause it's incomplete?

[D-riders]

games are ussually on about 5% when the first demo is completed. tweaks and testing is about another 35%. then polishing he games up is about 30% so if they have 4 to 6 months the game will be done at launch

[tuglu_pati]

Im pretty sure this game will look outstanding. Anyone thinking otherwise is in denial.

[black0o]

1st: it's not free to play
2nd: the game will lunch at retail at full price
3rd: GameCom will clear things more since its more close to lunch window then e3

4th: the reason there's so hate for driveclub is the fact that the game looks better then So over rated froza ...

[DarkHeroZX]

Yeah I don't understand MS fans. They boost about Forza being so great yet they don't go out and support the game on the same level Sony fans support GT. Seriously if the game is so great then why aren't you all buying it?

[Red_Devilz]

Georgeenoob and Enemy are professional Trolls.

I am happy with a system who lets me play games when I want, what I want, even F2P. The only things that come free with Xbone are restrictions.

"Thou shalt not sell game. Thou shalt not be offline"

and when shown middle finger by sales figures, hen XBOneEighy: "Thou shalt not share games"

At this rate they will have whole new 10 commandments ready by launch. 3 done 7 to go.

[DarkHeroZX]

"Thou shall not give thy faithfuls lub for thy anus"

"Thou shall not allow indie debs to self publish"

"Thou shall charge $100 more for inferior hardware"

"Thou shall dedicate hardware resources to kinect to help aid in violating ones privacy"

"When you lose the heart of your faithfuls simply change your policies and act as if you have never dwelth wickedly"

Lol help me out here.

[DarkHeroZX]

"Thou shalt boost about multi-platform games at E3 like they are exclusive"

"When E3 gets rolling thou shall use high ended Nvidia/Intel boxes to showcase games on"

And MS looked out to their children who took in the new laws without question and said "I heard you like TV so we built you a $499 cable box to hook up to your cable box to watch TV"

[Red_Devilz]

LMAO. There you go. 10 Complete.

More: "Thou shalt buy new adapter or new headsets."

"Thou must call all non-boxers as sheeps"

"Thou shalt not believe worldwide sales numbers"

"Thou shalt call fantasy football as next gen"

Damn, wish I had more bubbles.

[FamilyGuy]

This is ridiculous.

DriveClub will NOT be releasing in Beta form

DriveClub is NOT a "Free to Play" game: It's a full retail release game which will have a version with less cars and tracks up for free download to PS+ members.

The DriveClub demo was made at the 35% mark, development is farther along than that now an a new demo is being shown at GDC to reflect a newer build.

DriveClub is "targeting" 60 frames per second but if it causes too much of a sacrifice in the visuals the devs will release it at 30 frames per second instead.

DriveClub has dynamic weather effects and lighting as well as form altering car damage (scratches and dents but no crushing vehicles). Forza has none of that and only has scratch/surface damage.

DriveClub assets will be left "open" so that the devs can continue to upgrade and alter the game over time. This is a positive note, they are not saying that they're "releasing an incomplete game" but rather that they will improve on the game based on user feedback and desire. If a new idea pops up they'll be able to add it in.

DriveClub is a social driving crew sim rather than a racing sim. It can have a first person view at any time and you build clubs like being in a clan. The racing aspect and car handling is not simulation based, it's made to be more fun like an arcade title.

[kenshiro100]

georgen00b, for all the braincells in the world, stop talking.

[showtimefolks]

Every next gen game is in development nothing is complete yet

[rmw2hot]

Can't wait till gamescon so we can see the updated demo. planning on getting the retail copy of this game. People need to stop complaing about the graphics I'm positive that when the game comes out its gonna look a lot better than the e3 demo.

[Donnieboi]

Here's hoping that's the case. I'm especially excited about how they said there's an option to use the PS4's enhanced 1:1 sixaxis tech (way better than on PS3) to steer the vehicles 100% smoothly in first person view!

Although I hope the make a cheap, affordable plastic wheel with some weight, and resistance springs so that I can put the Dual Shock 4 into it and steer it with the same resistance we get from a real wheel. Holding it up in the air provides no resistance and looks a little silly tilting it.

[C-Thunder]

Even better if my Logitech wheel worked, fingers crossed.

[GameCents]

It looks it.

[yewles1]

I knew there would be such problems back when I read this:

http://www.pushsquare.com/n...

Also, to people saying it's F2P, STOP THAT CRAP NOW!!! PS2 and DCUO are TRUE F2P, and DriveClub marks the first time in PS+ history that you get content stripped from it compared to its retail version.

[Nazara]

Isn't it also the first ps plus offering of a title at said titles launch window? Yeah I got sf4 and infamous 2 via ps plus, but how long after release? To me this seems like testing the waters, much like project spark is. Not sure why people are getting so touchy over it?

[GribbleGrunger]

It's not 'testing the waters'. For goodness sake, it's so easy to understand why Sony are having to go this route early on that it beggars believe people come up with alternative reasons. Sony won't be able to offer a robust line up for PS+ on PS4 because *drum roll* it's a brand new console and there is no library of older games.

[brave27heart]

@Gribble

Hush mate. Talk too much common sense on here and they'll take you away!

[FamilyGuy]

This isn't the first time actually.
Uncharted 3 released on PS+ with only its single player mode so it was stripped of its multiplayer.

There's a free-2-play version of its multiplayer on the PS Store but it is not like the retail release so even combining the two still doesn't get you the full retail version.

So again, this isn't the first time a stripped down version of a game has hit PS+
I just wish more people would understand that this isn't a F2P game. The article title alone made me not want to click the link because the author is already proving incompetence.

[M-M]

I'm so tired of people complaining that it's not 60FPS(yet, who knows?). I will probably see myself saying this over and over, but if there was hypothetically a console with more power than a $2,000 gaming PC and they made the graphics look AMAZING and it was at 60FPS, developers would still probably sacrifice the half the frame rate for even more stunning graphics. I'm sorry, but I haven't heard a single person say at a store when buying a game say "Wow man! Do you see that smooth 60FPS gameplay? I'm getting this!". People usually say, "Wow these graphics are insane? I'm getting this".

[bjmartynhak]

Actually I can't tell the difference between 30 and 60 fps. Unless it is in slow-mo.

[KrisButtar]

Me either, I actually didn't know there were different frame rate speeds. After I joined this site is when I found out some games run at different FPS and I've been gaming since Atari/NES. I also recently talked all my gamer friends about the different speeds. None of them knew anything and none can notice a difference either.

Edit: I found out about different FPS less than 242 days ago, been gaming a long time. Don't think the difference between 30fps and 60fps is important, if so few people notice

[torchic]

the difference between locked-30fps and locked-60fps is difficult to notice, but still noticable

the difference between a "dynamic" 30fps (a-la Crysis 2 & Battlefield 3 on PS3) and a locked-60fps (CoD) is night and day.

that's my opinion on the issue. the KZSF reveal gameplay runs at 30fps and you could confuse it with 60fps

[NeoTribe]

Nobody can tell the difference. Its xbots graspin at straws trying to downplay anything sony.

[GameCents]

You are kidding right? 60fps is one of the many things gamers, including ps3 owners, complained about DmC not having earlier this year. Heck before next gen consoles were announced, 1080p and 60fps were all everybody could talk about. Then february came around and everybody realised that not all games from their favourite console maker would be 1080p and 60fps and suddenly it wasn't as important anymore.

[mursumaki]

I agree that 60FPS isn't really important, but I really like to have 60FPS in racing games. I sure Drive club will be a great game, no matter if it is 30FPS or 60FPS :)

[mrmancs]

Love the way those in the know? Are saying it won't be this and won't be that and won't be 60fps and blah blah blah.
unless you work for the company producing the game , I suggest you stfu.

[Drainage]

first off this isnt a FREE TO PLAY. the article is a joke. If you got PS+, you still gotta pay for the full complete version for a lower price.

And the ((((DEMO))) WAS ONLY 35%. Demos usually take time to build so im sure they were way ahead of that by E3. By launch, 100 %. However, its gonna be buggy im sure because usually games need a few months to clean it up after the main game is complete and it looks like they wont have that.

[1nsomniac]

Some people need to learn how to read. It clearly says the playable demo was taken from an old version that was only 35% complete.

Come on people, the articles only about 2 paragraphs long. Read it properly it even says that they're releasing a more current build demo soon.

[TacticProductionz]

You had my attention. But now you have my curiosity.

[6DEAD6END6]

Lol great movie by the way.

[SaveFerris]

Being a next-gen racer, I hope that the finished product will have a good selection of tracks and cars, damage and weather effects. Graphics-wise it should look next-gen but it is early days yet and perhaps Drive Club 2 will achieve the 1080p 60fps target along with the graphics. The pressure is on the developers and Sony to produce a launch racing title to rival Forza 5. We'll find out when it it launches with the PS4.

[MajorLazer]

Looks like some launch games will be rushed :(

[PlayStation_4]

They said that the demo was 35% completed if I read it correctly

[TheKayle1]

this game is just ugly cmon

[Tatsuya]

and this fool is back, have you seen the finish game kid or are you basing your opinion on crap? It's just on 35% pre alpha stage and yet it looks fantastic, the lighting, the textures. I can't imagine how it will look like at 100% completion stage. Can you? Based on the news, we'll get better previews at Gamescom so, let's reserve judgement till then.

[strickers]

Ugly? Hardly. They have a good track record and have added PGR people to their team.
It smells than Forza fans keep praising their latest iteration of an existing engine despite missing many of the computational heavy tech of this game.
Wait until it's finished, then Judge.
I'm saying it will be the best thing ever but good devs here

[sAVAge_bEaST]

It's also a new concept, a social racer that you play with friends in a "club", and every one with plus will have it. Should be interesting.

[MajorLazer]

Hardly new considering Forza 4 has that very same feature

[pyramidshead]

Lol this is A+ troll bate for die hard X1ers who have been getting slammed for almost two months. Let them have their moment :p.

OT: Got the up most confidence that these guys will nail it by launch. They've got a lot of hard work to do, especially keeping it looking stunning, along with all those added features that the other games don't have, that are running real time to add greater immersion. Time will tell and I'll wait to be proven wrong :).

[NeoTribe]

Your def right. Is it me or is there more xbots in here than people actually interested in the game lol?

[Supermax]

Wow 35 percent complete I hope it's ready for launch I'm looking forward to playing it along with forza.

[christrules0041]

Here is the thing about demo's. If they don't update it it'll be the same demo. So while what we are being told is the demo is 35% complete it could have been put together in Febraury or march and the software is 80% complete.

We don't know how far along in development they really are but it's going to be interesting to find out. I'm sure at Gamescom people are going to ask them though.

[ZeV]

C'mon guyz !!! Evolution is a great studio,look at what they achieved on the PS3...The Motorstorm series is amazing...And each motorstorms were very different,with stunning graphics,nice physics,gorgeous worlds,and great arcade gameplay !

The DriveClub demo is only 35% then wait for more completed build before saying this game will be a crap...

Be mature and stop the troll.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

If its only 35% now I am wondering if they can finish in time for launch... I mean 35% at about 4 months left???

Edit: I do realize the demo could be a month old code but doubt it would be much older... then again who knows. But it also asks the question why would you create a build of the game at the 35% completed mark. Seems premature.

[sarcastoid]

When I actually look at the lack of BASIC comprehension from these xbox fans it makes TOTAL sense why they're... well, xbox fans. The ignorance in almost all of your comments is simply staggering.

[sephiroth420]

i hope they fully complete it before launch, i remember mark cerny saying the development time for ps4 games will not take as long as the development for ps3 games.

I don't really get what people are arguing about.

Evolution have shown one track which was small demo.

The game ran smooth, looked good. Had dynamic lighting and day/night cycle.

35% alpha could mean many things, the core game engine, the graphics, only they know exactly what needs to be done.

But i can tell you this.

I've played MS1,2,3. And they improved massively before release.

Since when was Drive Club free to play?
Go to Amazon or any store for that matter, i'm 100% sure you have to pay for it. Also if you're not a PS+ member you have to pay for it too.

It's like asking is Battlefield 3 free to play? Just cause it's on PS+ doesnt mean it's free to play for everyone else.

You don't purchase it through ps+ , you subscribe to PS+ and then you can download the cut down version for playing online , thus it is free , just not fully loaded like the purchasable game version.

Idk just delay the game put another big game in the ps+ instant game collection then it won't be a problem, because we have GT6 coming.

Hopefully it isn't a cam, amirite?

I literally have no idea what the game looks like.

I'm going to post a better quality off screen video on n4g with one of the members of evolution saying it will look even better than what we have seen , and it all ready looks way more stunning than forza and runs super smooth , so stop worrying about fps ppl , if it looks this smooth now ,it will be mind blowing if they give it a even higher frame rate!

Evolution is known for making great games ( motostorm ).In the past the demos that they shown was very lame compare to the real game. People just wait ande see, maybe this is a great and unique game !!!
