Shouldn't be much hype for this game. Low amount of cars. Low amount of tracks. Was delayed multiple times. Guessing it will be a 5 or 6.

meh, the fewer tracks and cars aren't a biggie. It'll fill in my nostalgia for older racers like NFS 1,2,3, Gotham, Vanishing point or Cruis'n USA. For a real racer I'll at least have Pcars on the PC but I will have very, very high expectations for GT 7.

7 sounds right. If the dynamic weather and everything was in the game I'd say 8.

Lol so cows finally got the poll down to "A" rating. Guess cows are really looking forward to this game much after all. Just a bunch of talk and graphics hype because they have no games to play.

Can't say i disagree with the "A" hype though. With all of the features Drive Club WON'T have, i can't imagine it scoring very well.

I thought this game was already out. This is still free for psn+ and you can just pay if you want the extras "full" experience? I will try the free game but I don't really care about racing games.

@SecretPolice: I voted A. Mainly because anything under A wasn't there. I think even with A hype the game is going to flop.

Also, I haven't seen hype around Driveclub other than graphics(which are damn pretty). I don't think anybody thought this game was going to actually be better than Forza or Gran Tourismo in terms of gameplay.

I would vote below A given the game is launching completely bare bones. WTF have the devs been doing for the last year? It was supposed to be a launch title with everything they're promising will now be patched in at a later date. They missed that mark and they still aren't finished the game. Something seriously went wrong with the development of this title and I expect nothing more than a broken mess.

this game wont even launch with a photo mode now?

wow, it was put back for an entire year and is still launching with a long list of "Oh we promise we'll patch that in"

Why not just finish the damn game before releasing it?

I propose a new Sony SDC campaign

SDCDC - Sony Delay Club Desperation Continuation

And yet lems couldn't wait to hype up Killer Instinct.

Glass houses, Simon.

I wish we could see who voted for what option. That way, we would know how many people are voting A yet posting "I'm hyping it AA/AAA."

Yeah, they should have rushed it out to fill up a mediocre launch line up and released the other half in a year like Based Phil Spencer did.

@sts106mat said:

hmm, that's funny, because i still dont see your point. why dont you try and counter these instead of dodging the question :-

Was Killer instinct delayed = NO

Was the plan with killer instinct to add content after launch explained prior to release? = YES

Also, if i am in a glass house, please point out my posts hyping up killer instinct......go on.....i'll wait

Point is, they rushed out what is obviously a half-finished game then slapped the other half in a year later as "season 2." No problem with lemmings then.

Your precious Titanfall got a new mode a few weeks ago. I assume the game at release was unfinished too.

Wait? Photo mode won't be at launch?

So, there's the PS+ trial version. The incomplete "full" release. And then ... whenever they decide to get the rest of the game out.. you get the full Driveclub experience.

With a full year delay in mind.

This is crazy! They should just delay it again. No photo mode, replay mode OR weather in a game they are charging money for? That's asinine. What the hell have they been doing for the past year?

Reviewers are going to tear this game up for being so incomplete.

Whoever voted A is either a wuss cow or an extremely cynical person.

..or is a logical gamer. This game is launching with a number of features missing. To hype this game as 8.0+ is just damn foolish.

I think it get's a 3 for effort; too much hype and too many "patched in later" excuses to score anything decent...

Wait until you all see the physics, they suck big time.

Never thought I'd say it, but Forza looks better

No replay mode either? This is some basic stuff they're not putting in at launch..

Your precious Titanfall got a new mode a few weeks ago. I assume the game at release was unfinished too.

Titanfall had plenty of maps and game modes already to go on release, nothing was stripped out. once again, they were up-front with the plans for DLC map packs and free-content being added in. that has all taken place. it was not unfinished, Destiny is unfinished and an absolute scandal.

As for Killer instinct, like i said, it wasn't delayed and it was explained that content would be drip fed.

With driveclub, i am not sure that is the case....we will see what the reviews say.

As for your comment to draign, i would say no, they shouldn't have said done that, neither should have they have announced it as a launch game when it was (judgin by how it is now) about 30% complete.

Nothing was stripped out of DC either. It isn't ready and will be patched in later. Difference? They should have waited until the new 8x8 mode was ready, maybe then the game wouldn't be a technical mess either.

KI was needed to drag in the Rare nostalgics and fill out a mediocre line up, of course they wouldn't delay it.

Like the devs said, DC was shippable last year. They chose not to push it out to improve the UI and social features.

that's what i am saying, it makes zero sense to release it with a fucking flyer saying "hey look at all this stuff we have coming, that other games have already".

Unless the game plays incredibly well, they really aren't helping themselves with this stuff.

Evolution Studios is basically releasing an unfinished game and hoping that consumers don't notice. At least PC developers stamp an "early access" tag on unfinished games they sell. This just seems like a dirty move. Hopefully this doesn't catch on.

I was all on board for a day one purchase. But now I may just play the PS+ version and wait for Evolution Studios to finish the game. I don't know....
