Whoops, Someone Forgot to Double-Check Driveclub's Box Art Text

Meanwhile, preloading for the digital version of the PS4-exclusive racer has begun.

Developers can release patches as soon as a game launches in order to fix any lingering issues it may have. Unfortunately for Driveclub, it suffers from one problem that can't be fixed in that way: an error on its box art.

Kotaku has published a picture of the back of Driveclub's box. Along with the usual sorts of proclamations about what the game offers is the following line: "Race in hundreds of online & offline players." Huh?

There's any number of variations for what it could have meant to say, but that's what will be stuck sitting on your shelf if you elect to pick up a physical copy. At least it's not as egregious of an error as when the name of a game--Resident Evil: Revelations--was misspelled on the spine of the 3DS case. In that case, Capcom offered owners of the game replacement covers. Given this is a smaller mistake, we don't yet know if Sony will do the same.

Driveclub launches in North America tomorrow, October 7, on PS4. Those who preorder the game on the PlayStation Store can begin preloading it now in the United States and Canada, according to director Paul Rustchynsky. European gamers can begin preloading it sometime today, while those in the UK have to wait until Wednesday.

If you want to try the game before you buy it, or you simply want a free sampling, PlayStation Plus members will get access to the free Plus Edition tomorrow. This version includes a limited amount of content from the full game, but can't be preloaded; you'll have to wait until Tuesday to begin downloading it.

"Race in hundreds of online & offline players." I hope nobody races in me. I'm not comfortable with that.

Thread is win, one way to lure folks who already got bored of FH2 to come in here and tell us how much Drive Club sucks. Tired of off roading in a Ferrari already? I'm sure there is a lot more dirt and barns to find while blazing across dirt roads in hyper cars. Drive CLub isn't even released yet but we have a classic case of phallus envy, check out the mainstay crustaceans down below, bottom feeders.

Oh typos, hmm never seen those before you, that never happens. Bugs in games never happen either. Since when is this news?!? I await more lies from folks saying they are happy they canceled their preorder because misspelling on a case means the game is haphazardly done. Got to love pretentious bell ends hey.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Why of course it's a game, but a typo on the box that looks to be oversight as it's probably supposed to say "race with hundreds of offline and online players". No, the article didn't even attempt to say that either, just the usual par for the course and lo and behold check out the nonsense that follows almost like clockwork. As for Sony, someone is going to be losing a pinky at advertising.

If they have a mistake on the cover it could mean Sony tried to rush the game out. which means the game might not be ready for launch. definitely not going to be getting this on my PS4.

This is still no where even close to the muck up that happened on Okami's cover, if anyone remembers that fiasco.

Why is this news? Why would anyone even care about something so insignificant? That thing with capcom is obviously more severe because people could mistake the title for something it isn't. But a small typo on the back of the box? Christ, how slow of a news day could it be?

@GuPesci @Nefercare Lol really that´s what you understood? But let me explain it to you... First, I can´t wait for midnight to play it, since I preordered the game so the game is already preloaded and ready to go at midnight... Second, I was thinking about buying an Xbox One last Xmas but decided instead to buy me the PS4 saving me a lot of regrets...Wohooo!!!

That's funny. Hope the game turns out well - the hands-on buzz indicated the extra time was well spent, but who knows

This is probably a bad sign that the game is going to be incomplete.

They could have smeared peanut butter on the box and said it was a review from gamespot for all I care, as long as the actual game is hella fun.

True we all know ign and gamespot going to give it a bad review and try to justify why Forza horizon 2 is better because you can drive in barns and in cornfields

Gamefly really dropped the ball on Driveclub and ordered a very limited number of copies, I waited a week in a digital line for this game to ship today and they didn't even ship me my freakin copy! I've been waiting since launch for this game! Evidently Gamefly doesn't consider racing games to be a worthy genre. Given the fact that its popularity is like number 12 or 13 proves that very few copies were ordered. At least I can play the free version tomorrow and Gamefly can sniff my butt!
