I think DC is doing pretty well.

The game has great word of mouth (from those that have played it) and it seems to have gotten a lot more busy over the weekend. I'm dropping down the leader board at great speed instead of climbing like last week, and despite Evolution claiming servers should be accepting a lot more players, it has gotten worse again for me this week.

No free PS+ version and a good discount on digital ($50 vs $70 here) probably help as well. Although I think those who bought it instead of waiting would have converted to the full version anyway.

It's been a long time since a good track based racer and no other racers this fall (seems the crew is delayed?). Anyway those who buy it won't be disappointed. Just wish people would wait a bit before buying so I can get the online trophies :p


Does DC really have a Project Gotham (have you played it?) feel to it?...Though I love cars in real life, sim racers bore me to tears, I could use some old school arcade racer

I have played all the PGR games, and I'm more addicted to DC now than I ever was to PGR, which was great as well. It's the tracks that make DC so great, very well constructed and a joy to drive over and over. WIth 25 unique ones there's plenty of variety. PGR had very good city tracks, yet driving on DCs narrow winding mountain tracks adds a whole new layer of excitement.

The handling is much closer to PGR than a sim. DC does do all the individual tire, suspension, weight calculations giving it a realistic feel, yet it also turns up the grip and acceleration to give it the excitement of an arcade racer. It has a excellent difficulty curve, strarting of easy with the hot hatch cars, yet mastering the Venom GT hyper car takes all your concentration. And hitting the wrong bump at 370 km/h is not recommended, although spectacular :)

You have to brake before corners indicated by color coded flags along the tracks. You can also handbrake, power drift though corners which takes quite a bit of skill. (It's no ridge racer) Drift events are part of the campaign.
