The VR mode isn't made available in the demo, as far as I've gathered.

Yeah I saw. It will be a downgrade, especially since I've just been playing DC VR again. (still 6 hours to complete download)
It's a free game trial, not a demo btw. So at least the whole game should be installed already when I get the physical version. Or not, if that differs.

It may be a free game trial, but not all of the game's content is available. A lot if locked out of this "version" and will only be made available when you buy the full game.

I'll have to see if I like this demo. Sucks that it's so big, i'll have to wait till I finish some PS4 games to download it. I look forward to seeing if this is a game for me, seeing as i'm not really familiar with racers.

It's a full game trial, only available until Thursday, better hurry up with those ps4 games if you want to try it.
It could still get a scaled down demo later ofcourse. 43GB ugh. Luckily I still had the psvr demo disc installed, 41GB for a demo disc, a disc....



All I have to say is it's no Driveclub that's for sure!

Here's my thoughts. I woke up today, eager to download the demo myself, only to find out that they locked it behind a paywall (not paying for PSN at the moment). Dick move and ridiculously counterproductive.

You want to stress test the network? You want to do deep data mining on a mass of players? Make the demo available to as many people as possible.

Common sense... it's a thing.

The demo unlocks later today at 6PM PT/9PM ET for non PS+ subscribers.

Im no ps+ subscriber but ive been playing since 20 hours ago.  I did pre download it a couple of days ago

It actually even surpassed my expectations so far. The graphics and especially lighting are incredible, even without HDR on base PS4 (was a bit disappointed with the Rallye track though). The menus are slick as fuck, the new electronical menu music is sophisticated and modern, racing music is great too, AI seems really good and challenging. Physics feel great as well, best in the series by far...sadly I don’t have a wheel yet. The whole menu presentation, replays, videos, little informations and infos on cars and everyday life, music etc feels incredible...could watch it all day. Best screensaver ever! The scapes mode is something I as a photographer myself are going to spend days in. Didn’t touch the livery editor yet.
I can’t wait to try online (servers are down atm sadly) and especially VR at a friend's house.
So glad to say even the sound is great this time, would you believe it.

And yeah, the rally track is hard as fuck. The only complaint I have is they still didn’t include an option to turn down the tire screeching separately! Wtf PD, how hard can it be?!

I was sceptical about the new career mode myself, but it seems I understand their new approach now. Copied from another thread...”all your single player races, time trials, drift or VR races, and especially online races earn you money, experience and other factors which make you level up, win cars and enable you to buy them in order to progress in the new personal career. Every player can chose to create his own personal career in the way he wants to progress. It’s a new way of thinking and pretty incredible once you’ve wrapped your head around it”

I wouldn't say it's so much is personal campaign as the illusion of it, but yeah I agree. It still feels like I'm accomplishing things and getting better.

That said they need weekly racing challenges ala gt5 and 6, but I suppose they want you racing online.

There will be online challenges and parts of them will even have live commentary for spectators, as far as I understand. They want us to race offline as well (daily workout). Damn I really need a wheel :)



I've only had the chance to try it out for 20 minutes so far but first impressions are yuck. That's on a 65" Bravia 900E. Perhaps I did the HDR setup wrong (what does it mean by adjust the brigthness until the squares disappear, they never disappear) but I'm not impressed with how the environments look. (HZD looks amazing on that tv, heck even Knack 2 looks better)

It's likely I have to adjust to driving on a screen again since I've been playing DC VR while waiting for it to download. The road is all weirdly stretched out with flat corners that look like the car should easily be able to take at the observed speed yet can't. No sense of how the car is sitting on the track, no sensation of speed.

Sure it looks razor sharp in 4K compared to VR, but it also looks very fake. And is it really running at 60fps? It feels slow. Will try to get into it more in a bit.



I'm liking it, but god is the rally hard and challenge stage 6-1 still not understood by me

Azzanation: "PS5 wouldn't sold out at launch without scalpers."

Turns out I did screw up the HDR setup. Max HDR peak level was at 1, adjusted it to 5 now, which turned the sky from a dull washed out grey into beautiful blue with bright white clouds. HDMI is just so automatic, not.

Still need to get used to driving without peripheral vision, so weird not to be able to look where you are going in corners.
