Three Weeks Later, DriveClub Still Doesn't Work Properly

[Dohc-WP]

On October 7, Sony released the racing game Driveclub for PlayStation 4. Today, October 28, the game still doesn’t work as intended — and Sony still hasn’t said a word about refunding the folks who paid $US60 for it.

Driveclub‘s server problems have been well-documented. For the past three weeks, players have found themselves unable to access many of the racing game’s features; although Driveclub does have an offline mode, its biggest selling points involve connecting with and racing against other players, fighting for ranks as you try to climb the game’s various social leaderboards. Multiplayer is even in the name — Driveclub refers to the clubs you can form to play with other people.

So for 21 days now, the game has been essentially crippled.

Though Sony has been issuing regular updates to try to fix Driveclub‘s server issues, they’re still not out of the woods yet. (Representatives for Sony did not respond when I asked them about potential refunds.)

Just this morning, I asked Fahey to log into the game and see what was up. Here’s the message he got:

Im just so surprised at how long its taken, and taking, them to fix it... Its not even like the game is getting the numbers other games have gotten in the past...

alot of internal rumour and speculation is that sony pushed (or Forced) evolution to get the game out before the holiday season and to have it compete with forza horizon 2 , that plan didnt work as beautifully as expected as we can see

I dont know where you heard that but try and keep Fh2 out of a Driveclub thread it is painfully obvious what you are trying to do.

Last I checked, you are allowed to have an opinion.

I dont have a problem with people having opinions but I would like to know how he came up with that speculation if Sony wanted them to release it would of happend last year why delay it a year and then demand the release I dont get that.

I'm really enjoying this game. My brother and I started our club and we have been playing without any issues since I got it on Wednesday. The visuals and sound in this game are really, really impressive.
