I don´t know man, everyone hated the game (reviews...).
I am thinking 500k, a million lifetime at best.


Most reviews gave the game a 7/10. Where's the hate? Stop posting wrong information with a dose of biased opinion.

I´m interested in DC, I was checking out the thread on GAF and it seems most people who are playing agree the core gameplay is great, it´s just the current server problems and, correct me if I´m wrong here, lack of content (I think that´s what some are complaining about) so far that bring the game down.

Is DC currently low on content?..is it true?...it seems like the game will keep evolving over time, so it shouldn´t be an issue down the road (if it´s true in the first place, that is)

What about the AI?..is it 'fair'?

Low on content, depends what content your are looking for. In comparison Motorstorm had 8 tracks 1 location, pacific rift 16 tracks 4 locations, Apocalypse back to 10 tracks. DC has 25 unique tracks in 5 locations, 55 with reverse and variations. Each location has 2 point to point races, 2 circular tracks and 1 race track with 3 variations. Plus another location and 11 more tracks are coming in free DLC, next to weather system and photo mode. There is no rain and snow yet, yet the rest of the weather system is fully in place. I'm still seeing unique skies after 50 hours of playing. The lighting is so good :)

There are 55 cars in 5 groups. Hot hatch, sports, performance, super and hyper. I haven't felt the need for more cars. They all feel different and have their own advantages and disadvantages on certain tracks. There are 8 or 9 more free cars coming (1 a month until June) and more in DLC. Anyway less cars keeps the races closely matched online. It's not about car picking or tuning skills, pure driving skill.

Tour mode has 225 stars to collect. Somewhere around 75 events, usually 3 stars per event. The objectives per event range from finish in top 3, beat a lap time, do a clean lap, win a corner or drift face off. You have races, championships, time trials including hot laps and drift events. It took me about 20 hours to get all 225 stars. Then you have accolades you can level up for extra fame on the way to reach lvl 50. (current max level) There are a lot of categories each containing five levels with more points for each level gained. The game will tell you on the home screen which ones you are close to levelling.

There are also challenges and club challenges you can issue to other players and clubs and try to beat but they haven't worked for me yet. The dynamic face-offs during a race are working now, although not all the time.

The AI, depends on how you drive. They seem very aggressive at first yet the better I get and the better I treat them, the less they harass me. Use them as a bumper in the corner and they'll do the same to you. It's rubberband AI with target times. If you drive fast they'll keep up but stay behind you, if you drive slow they'll slow down to give you a chance to get back in the race. Yet they'll speed back up as long as they're still behind their targets, not handing you the win this way. It's challenging at first, yet it's a lot a fun too. With instant restarts I always keep pushing myself until I win. Then go again for good measure :)

Oh and tour mode only seems tot have the AI on amateur level (which is a good challenge already). In single race you can go up to semi-pro, pro and legend. Winning at Legend difficulty is very difficult.

If I stop posting wrong information then I will never be able to post again. That is not fair =/



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Well, I think its sales are primarly due to a long wait for a Sony exclusive racer with amazing graphics. Its shortcomings in gameplay and/or content should affect sales after launch, perhaps, but one cannot be certain how great the thirst for many to get a racing game is.

The gameplay is amazing, its clear you haven't even played the game. Its an awesome game and very fun to play with friends.


Sure. Why would one allow other opinions, even if other people did actually play the game, right?

Good opinion = played the game

Bad opinion = never played the game

Life can be so easy.

When you claim a part of a game a weakness yet everyone and anyone that plays it says its one of its greatest strengths, dont cry a river when someone calls you out on it.  Life is easier if you let go of some isms.

Where do you see how m crying a river though?



can;t wait until Tuesday, I will finally will never have to hear "How fast do you want to go?" again in the game. I cannot begin to tell you how annoying that song is!

On the plus side, I am loving the game more and more. I got 4 spaces in my Club, but I know 2 of them will be filled when my 2 mates finally get the game. If anyone wants to join, I have 2 spaces available. The club name is RogueSquadron and I am only level 7 (fairly new club).

I am hoping we hear soon about the DLC. If they add new events to the game outside of time trail, point to point, drift and regular, I will buy the season pass. With the number of cars and events it should be worth it.



Probably 300k

I could use a new club. I joined a random one when clubs finally started working. Got them up to lvl 27 yet haven't seen them online yet, must be from a different time zone. I'm lvl 50 already, game is still fun. I hope club challenges start working soon.


That's my car after running laps for about an hour in India. I was messing around with drifting during the night time, see if I could get around the whole track only drifting through corners without slowing down. As you can see by the skid marks and the car, most attempts ended badly :) It's cool how it keeps all your skid marks and progressive damage. When the sun was up again I got serious and managed to get to the top of the leaderboard, for that BMW that is. Netted me over 150k fame in all. Game is so good.

I solved the music problem already. Race sounds through the tv, my own music over the surround system.



Well I was fucking wrong about this game sales, it almost reached 500K first week.
