driveclub DriveClub: Update 1.12 New Features

[Camel]

[headline]DriveClub 1.12 has landed![/headline]

 

Prepare for a TL;DR!

 

The things I'm most looking forward to are being able to set the AI cars to use factory paint instead of liveries, replay mode/heathaze for better pics and the Lambo pack coming out next week. :)

 

It's been pleasantly surprising how much Evolution Studios have been supporting Driveclub and it doesn't show any sign of stopping just yet.

 

Also, off-road buggies!

 

Update 1.12 is here! Go download it now to get replays, better drift scores and the Ferrari 599XX Evoluzione for Driver Level 50, along with many more improvements to the game based on your feedback!

 

This game update also paves the way for the Lamborghini and Pacesetter PlayStation®Store updates next week:

 

» March 24 in America

» March 25 in Europe, Austialia, NZ, UK

» March 26 in Japan

» April 2 in Asia

 

Read on for full details of Update 1.12 ...

 

The update will happen automatically when you fire up the game.

The update size is 0.60GB which brings the total size of all updates combined so far to 7.16GB.

How are the replays guys?

[Camel]

From what I've seen they're but but I've not been on my PS4 for a couple of weeks. :(

 

Hopefully try it out sometime next week along with the Lambos that come out tomorrow(today in the US).

From what I've seen they're but but I've not been on my PS4 for a couple of weeks. :(

Right then. :oook:

[Camel]

:panic:

 

I think I was supposed to say good but. But but but makes as much sense anywho.

Managed to get on it for half an hour last night and the replays are okay. They're easily to control but you can only play/pause, jump forward 10 or so seconds and rewind 10 or so seconds.

 

I've noticed the effects like exhaust flames aren't recorded. They just randonly happen at different points in the replay. If you see the exhaust shoot flames on a corner and then you rewind the replay, the car won't shoot flames again on that corner. :hmmm:

 

But the photomode is exactly the same so that's good.
