NEW! Update: 10/15/2014
Driveclub review update 1

While I was impressed with Driveclub's smart social media-inspired challenges and team-up mechanics, all of these elements have one major requirement: functioning online support. While online servers worked flawlessly with the lighter load prior to launch, they have more or less ceased to function in the disastrous week since the game launched.

According to developer Evolution Studios, the server problems are not just from high player load but tied into actual buggy server code in the game. Whatever the issue, we have not been able to connect to Driveclub's online options at all since launch day. This includes the multiplayer modes, challenges and clubs, the latter of which has vehicles locked behind it as well.

Driveclub still features solid racing without its online features, but the tour mode alone is not enough to pull in serious attention. Challenges and clubs are a core, necessary part of the game, and they are currently largely inaccessible. It's a shell of the game it's supposed to be. As such, we're updating our Driveclub score until such a time as we have evidence that the game's servers are consistently up and running.

"Challenges and clubs are a core, necessary part of the game" Oh really? It's plenty fun without them. Plus clubs have been working for the past couple days, I have everything unlocked.
The server problems are still inexcusable, and getting in multiplayer races is still the luck of the draw.

Lovely day with and the Sony crew. Saw something amazing coming to PS4 owners soon that I probably can't talk about :( :) ;)

Ever since Shuhei trolled me by getting excited by an amazing PS4 game (which turned out to be Towerfall Ascension, a damn Ouya game), I refuse to get excited by these announcements.
I always just expect an Indie puzzle platformer...

While I wouldn't personally weight the social aspect of the game at 2,5 points, I actually like the idea of adaptive review scores. 

I wonder if the will bump it above 7,5 when all of the free updates hit, I somehow doubt it.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!
