Just a quick one on this because there’s been a lot of people asking.
The PS Plus edition of DriveClub, revealed yesterday, will – according to Evolution – be the full version of the game in terms of features and mechanics.
However, it will launch with a cut-back number of tracks and cars.
This’ll mean that players will be immediately able to jump into the game, form clubs and compete online.
I asked whether that would mean more cars and tracks would appear as DLC to bulk up the game to the ‘full’ version but didn’t get an official comment.
The PS Plus version will be part of the Plus subscription.
The game handles great – it’s really smart and plays well despite the version on show being just 35% complete.
But more on that soon.

Well i was going to buy this at retail anyways so don’t mind buying the ‘DLC’ to make it the Full Drive Club experience!

I don’t think PS4’s PS Plus can be as good as PS3’s PS Plus ‘yet’ LoL:D The PS4 needs way more games for PS4’s PS Plus to be really good.

There is only one PS+.
This gives you two PS Vita, two PS3 and one PS4 games per month.
But I think you mean that the games for PS4 on PS+ cannot be as good as the games for PS3 on PS+ as of the unavailability of the games at launch? ;-)

I hope this doesn’t become the norm for PS+ with games in the future being cut down versions.

I would have thought this is just to start, until there are plenty of titles to choose from. They can’t really do a MS & give you a 3 year old game for free just yet!

The only game I’ve ever wanted on my beloved Playstation platform was PGR. It looks like DriveClub is gonna be that game. I really can’t wait. It looks great! Day one :-)))

if Sony want this to be the start of a new franchise, the more people they get playing it the better it will be for any future incarnations.
so long term this could end up being a pretty smart decision.

So, sort of like Ridge Racer?
Personally I’m fine with that. Driveclub does looks fantastic, but it’s going to be one of those launch titles I’ll put on the back bench.

This version will be bigger than a prologue version of GT without doubt, and that’s fine by me seeing as GT5 prologue kept me busy for months, heck I even use a picture of a car from that ‘semi-game’ as a gravatar to this day! :D

Great move. I’ve always been plus’d up. However I’m buying the full game as it looks sick!!!
