The Season Pass that just keeps on giving.

Think of your season pass as more of a kickstarter backing where the game gets closer and closer to being completed

The eagerly awaited Replay feature, big changes to Drift Mode and the Ferrari 599XX Evoluzione are the headlines, along with the Lamborghini Expansion Pack, plus many more improvements based on your continued feedback - so please keep it coming!

» Photomode can be used from within a Replay at any point.
» Introduces a new Driver Level 50 reward: You can now unlock the Ferrari 599XX Evoluzione for your Garage!
» Refines Drift Mode scoring to increase the points scored for momentum, control and staying on the track.
» Adjusts the drag reduction when veering off road, so that accidentally leaving the track slows you down more gradually.
» Adjusts the drag penalty on world collisions, to remove the possibility of gaining any advantage after colliding with a wall.
» Adds the option to control screen brightness in-game (new Display Option).
» Adds the option to change the volume levels on individual SFX channels (new Audio options in Settings).
» Adds the option to make the AI opponents in a Single Event drive in the same car as the one the player chooses.

» Adds support for live streaming via Twitch and Ustream while playing Multiplayer.
» Improves the atmospheric visual effects further by improving heathaze and introducing mirages, which are visible on the road when light is refracted by hot air.
» Includes more minor bug fixes, performance improvements and usability tweaks.

Next update will feature people on the side of the road, hitchhiking their way out of Dodge.

[flipswitch]

They will be appearing in Forza 6 to replace the 2D cutouts.

[Cletus]

Thats true...there's nothing else they can improve in Forza.

[t0mby]

So you don't want variable weather, night time races, more tracks.....?

[lestat]

60fps is GOD!

[Candy Arse]

Horizon 3 60fps?

[t0mby]

Obviously not, that's why they went back to Forza 5 on Monday nights.

[Cletus]

No that was just to mix things up. FH2 has by no means been abandoned. We alternate racing games on MNR because we have choice. Hilarious, I know. We often laugh about it in our private lobby.

[t0mby]

And yet the Driveclub thread is more active than the FM5 & FH2 thread combined. Speaks volumes given who the regular posters are.

[Cletus]

Of course a failure this big attracts discussion. Especially if it's the only "AAA" game in the genre for PS4. That's why the MCC launch was such a big deal for such a short time. There are other good shooters to play on XB1.

Dem gfx!

After a rough start, DriveClub is the game that keeps on giving! If anyone has this game and doesn't yet own the season pass, it's easily the best season pass for any game! Just so much on offer. Amazing value.

Eurogamer wrote an article last week on the current state of Driveclub and they said it's now the modern PGR. Great praise!

[Vince]

I read that article. A little sad that a game needs to be reevaluated after so long, but in this instance it's well worth it. Game just gets better and better. If only I gad the time to really sink more hours into it...

Pffft, I called that last year.
