DriveClub patch 1.12 verschenen

Met nieuwe DLC en zelfs een PlayStation Plus-editie om de hoek, lijkt DriveClub de zaken inmiddels aardig op de rit te hebben. Hoewel de PlayStation Plus-editie nog steeds geen releasedatum kent, is er wel deze week een update verschenen; nummer 1.12, inmiddels.

De update weegt maar liefst 0.6 GB en stoomt DriveClub klaar voor de aankomede Lamborghini- en Pacesetter tour-DLC die eind volgende week – op 25 maart om precies te zijn – moeten gaan verschijnen. Aansluitend op de Lamborhini-expansion zal overigens ook de Ferrari 599XX Evoluzione zijn opwachting gaan maken.

Alle puntjes die update 1.12 aantikt kun je hieronder terugvinden. Verwacht onder meer een replay-optie en fikse veranderingen aan de drift modus:

Adds Replays to the game for all Single Events and Tours. You can now save a Replay at the end of any single player event and view it later from the Replays section.

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 the option to select factory paint jobs for AI opponents (new Display Option).

Removes the voicechat icon for any player you have chosen to mute in Multiplayer while you are driving.

Adds new categories for downloaded Livery Packs within the Bonus Designs in Customisation.

Adds status information about friends playing Driveclub to the Social Hub.

Immediately centres the camera view behind the car automatically whenever you reset to the track.

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.

Zoals gezegd stoomt update 1.12 de game ook klaar voor de content die volgende week verschijnt:

Adds support for the Peugeot Onyx Concept, coming to PlayStation Store as a free download.

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

The Lamborghini Car Pack includes: Lamborghini Aventador LP 720-4 50° Anniversario, Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4, Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Squadra Corse and Lamborghini Veneno.

The Lamborghini Tour Pack includes 10 new Events and 5 new Trophies.

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

The Pacesetter Tour Pack includes 12 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.

Genoeg nieuwe DriveClub-content om naar uit te kijken, dus. Het wachten is nu enkel nog op een definitieve aankondiging van de langverwachte PlayStation Plus-versie.
