Drive Club New DLC Update

[Marccap]

Below info is from the official drive club facebook page.....

Hi everyone,

The team at Evolution continues to work diligently to resolve all of the server issues. We know you have all been extremely patient and understandably frustrated during DRIVECLUB’s launch, and to show our appreciation for the support during this challenging time, we will be offering the premium DLC packs for November (25th November-SCEA/26th November-SCEE/27th November-SCEJ) free to those who purchased the full game.

These premium DLC packs – The Ignition Expansion Pack and Photo-Finish Tour Pack along with two livery packs – will give you a total of five new cars, 22 new tour events, 10 new trophies and 10 new livery items to play with online and offline.

The Season Pass will be extended to include four extra packs in July 2015 to ensure players who purchased the pass get everything that was promised. So on top of the free DLC in November, the Season Pass will still include 38 cars, 176 tour events and 80 unique liveries.

On Tuesday we will also be releasing our next game update which includes our first round of player requested feature updates.

In addition to Photo Mode, which will allow you to share your most thrilling moments with your friends, we will be adding:

• Improved multiplayer collision physics to reduce frustrating spin-outs

• Adjustments to soften the corner cutting penalty system

• Options in the club menu to view everything your club has unlocked

• A fix to allow all club owners to update their club badges

This update also includes the first new tracks, which we announced back in September as part of our plans to keep supporting and expanding the game as you play. These include the following free new tracks for online and offline play (also playable in reverse):

• India – Yedepalli

• Scotland – Wester Ross

• Chile – Los Pelambres

Although currently we do not have an update regarding the timing for the launch of the PS Plus Edition, we are continually working on improving the server capacity to enable us to launch the PS Plus Edition as quickly as possible.

Once again, thank you for your support. We are truly sorry that the road to delivering the full DRIVECLUB racing experience on PS4 has been such a rocky one.

Man, the only way the Driveclub launch could be described is with a word that involves "cluster".

 

I'll keep waiting on the PS+ Edition, but it'd be a hard sell to get me to purchase this game over either The Club or Project CARS at this point.

I phoned Sony yesterday about a refund, they said the usual "no refunds on digital purchases" rule may not apply now as they are aware the problems this game has suffered from. I still very much doubt i'll get a refund so this dlc will soften the blow a little if i don't, and if i do then i have £35 back in my wallet and i can pick up a physical copy for £20.

I tried The Crew beta last weekend and it's a bit too NFS for me, so i'll just be waiting for Project Cars now. (I do love the NFS games but i want a proper next-gen racing game, i already have NFS Rivals)

Look at my profile, all 100% apart from DriveClub

 

I hope the challenges come online soon so I can finally get the platinum!

I'm also still waiting on those challenges, haha - 10 more trophies for the upcoming DLC, eh? *sigh* I hope they're easy!

I hope they won't give the DLC for free only to those who purchased digital version...

I want some treatment as well since I bought physical version =D

[RNSKY]

this is why i'm not buying games digitally (probably until forced to in a couple of years). once i get to driver level 50's trophy i'll sell the game to get as much as possible for it and download the ps+ edition when available to get the challenge related trophies. besides the already limited to liveries but decent for the variety they offer customising options this game is garbage.
