ZeroXOF Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Eurogamer has reported on the latest Driveclub news and it's seems that servers took a hit on release. For people who don't understand technology, servers are hubs that have certain amount of spaces people can log in until it get full or has problems. My opinion is that I read what Parker wrote and agree with him that it's not a big detail as everyone was making it about to be. I do understand it's annoying but don't act like the Driveclub was the only game you brought a PS4 lol. Anyway, one thing is not so certain is compensation. Here's the article: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-10-13-driveclub-dev-defends-game-launch-had-confidence-servers-would-work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I do think it is pretty crazy that Sony and Evolution had an extra year to work on the game and they're still having these launch problems. I'm glad I have other games to play but they really need to get their ass into gear, fix the server issues and then let PlayStation Plus members download our version of Driveclub.

MrManBuz Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) Rather conflicting with the reasons why they delayed the Plus edition no? If they thought it was stable enough how did they know it actually wasn't to dely the release of the Plus edition? So they thought it WAS stable yet they delayed the Plus edition anyways? Okaaay....Man everytime I hear something about Driveclub it just reeks of bullshit. Edited October 14, 2014 by MrManBuz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChickenExotic Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Yes it really sucks balls that this happened, but in the digital and computer age we live in, things like this are going to happen from time to time, unless you understand network coding and its volatile unpredictability, it just plain sucks that this happened before launch. I have other games i can play and once everything is up and running ill see you at the finish line! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidhero99 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 PSNs shortcomings are only going to get more unforgivable as PS4 continues forward with a paid subscription for online play. Hopefully now the PS4 has been out for a year and more and more of it's glaring missing features are fixed, Sony can start to focus on smaller additions as well.

flashpool23 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Well that's reassuring. I'm not placing blame though. However, I'm quite surprised they were thinking small considering the amount of users subscribed to PS Plus and Playstation members as a whole.

Parker That's fair, but folks that actually spent money should be compensated in some fashion too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 That's fair, but folks that actually spent money should be compensated in some fashion too. I agree with that. I'm not sure what fair compensation would be though, to be honest. A free DLC pack or two, maybe? Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidhero99 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 There is no shadow of a doubt that due to it being Sony and EVO that they are receiving a softer approach from gamers. If this was any other company it would be a slaughter right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARKSCORPONOXR Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) that's where evo go wrong... they're not paid to think, they're paid to make over hyped rally/racin games then throw down the book of excuses when somethin about the game gets ridiculed... this game does look great and from what i played, the cars handle brilliantly but the next thing to mock will be about the lack of cars, tracks and modes... 50 cars and 5 tracks portioned out with 11 variants each once that's been mocked, it will be the ridiculous AI and then the lack of offline stuff to do... when you're not logged in it becomes an empty game of drivin the tour mode which apparently is short... it is only early tho so im sure changes will get made, things might get added and the overall game will get smoothed out cause it does deserve some spotlight attention...

kidhero99 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Although that's unlikely, the fact is that Sony and Evolution have handled this situation extremely poorly. They've been silent with regard to when gamers can expect to receive the PS+ edition. It sure would be nice if they provided status updates instead of keeping people completely in the dark.

sept-sept Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I think it sucks that the game still isn't working properly three weeks after release while the release itself was a year late. I got the disc version so i can play but the single player is too short and the Multi / club play still isn't stable. The people who waited for the free psplus version still got nothing and in my opinion that is not a good thing for both sony and evolution. I don't think i will get the seasonpass now becouse i lost faith. I will put my money in the crew and project cars ( if not further delayed, lol ). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FearIsEverything Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I have the disc version too, still no challenges so platinum is unobtainable. Taking a while to get everything back together but slowly it is server issues can not always be predicted so I understand the frustration of the studio, I just want everything to be working for the paid version before the Plus version comes out or it'll just cause more issues.

basti_memphis Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 last update on Facebook is from Oct. 30. Challenges still don't work. thumbs up for that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikatiiker Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I agree with that. I'm not sure what fair compensation would be though, to be honest. A free DLC pack or two, maybe? Parker New games one after another suck bad at release date so someone should start punishing stupid people buying games during the first month after release. I just read about AC V patches which have forced Xboner owners to download a new patch PLUS the whole damn game because the last patch disabled their game. I understood this was day or two before Ubisoft fucked up Tetris release. Unbelievable. I'm not going to pay for Driveclub since they already delayed it by a year and told us PS+ owners won't get the full game. And what about the server problem - these guys never heard of GTA Online launch? Never pre-order anything, never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
