Update 1.11 DriveClub voegt nieuwe content toe

Hoewel de PlayStation Plus-versie van DriveClub voorlopig nog niet klaar is, is ontwikkelaar Evolution Studios druk bezig met de doorontwikkeling van het racespel. Ook deze maand kunnen we naast enkele bug fixes ook weer een lading nieuwe content verwachten, welke zoals gebruikelijk deels gratis en deels betaald is.

Update 1.11, die deze week moet verschijnen, zal namelijk de volgende veranderingen met zich meebrengen:

Adds a new Multiplayer game mode: Team Time Trial.

Adds a new track offering 2 variants: Kobago in Japan.

All add-on Tours have new progress requirements: You need 8 Stars (previously 12) to progress to the second stage and 22 Stars (previously 27) to open up the final Championship.

Adds the ability to choose from a collection of factory Paint Jobs during vehicle selection prior to an Event.

Adds the option to enable the Rev Counter in cockpit view.

Decreases the threshold on the manumatic downshift limiter to allow players to downshift earlier.

Reduces the drying time for rain splatter on the screen when in Chase Cam.

Implements ghosting under certain conditions in Multiplayer races to prevent track blocking.

Allows the ‘Contender’ and ‘Unbeatable’ Trophies to be unlocked even if the challenges expire when you are not online.

Includes a number of minor bug fixes, performance improvements and usability tweaks.

Daar blijft het echter niet bij, want er wordt ook vast ondersteuning toegevoegd voor de content die eind februari aan DriveClub toegevoegd zal worden. Hiertoe behoren onder andere een aantal nieuwe auto’s en tracks:

Adds support for the VUHL 05, coming to PlayStation Store as a free download.

Adds support for the DOWNFORCE Expansion Pack, coming to PlayStation Store as a premium/Season Pass add-on.

The Downforce Car Pack includes: Ferrari F50, Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Centennial Edition, SRT Viper GTS, Koenigsegg One:1 and Jaguar F-Type R Coupé.

The Downforce Tour Pack includes 11 new Events and 5 new Trophies.

Adds support for the Midnight Tour Pack, coming to PlayStation Store as a premium/Season Pass add-on.

The Midnight Tour Pack includes 11 new Events and 5 new Trophies.

Adds support for 2 new livery packs, coming to PlayStation Store as a premium/Season Pass add-on. Each Livery Pack contains 5 new livery patterns to customise your cars with.

Daarnaast laat men weten dat men ook bezig is met een aantal nieuwe features, die in de toekomst aan de game toegevoegd zullen worden. Zo worden onder andere replays en nieuwe ranks in een later stadium aan DriveClub toegevoegd:

Private lobbies: Development of Private Lobbies for Multiplayer is ongoing alongside development of server upgrades.

Replays: are in the final stages of development and testing. It’s likely that offline replays will come ahead of Multiplayer replays.

Changes to drift scoring: to ensure that you are rewarded for momentum, control and staying on the track in drift zones.

Lots more cars: We can’t say what’s coming just yet, but many of your most commonly requested cars and manufacturers are coming to DRIVECLUB, along with a few surprises.

New ranks: because many of you are at Level 50 already.
