Yes, MotorStorm certainly benefited from being an early standout game. Sony promoted it heavily at the system's launch. I remember the demo was featured prominently in PS3 kiosks in stores.

I take the warning I received, but people who take high and mighty tones where they tell people how they ought to feel and act about something, reducing the complexity of the situation, really get to me sometimes. Probably should stop participating in conversations at that point.
You could probably get a very short PS+ sub. Most of the online stuff you could probably get in a day. The only hard one is actually in driveclub bikes (which has it's own trophy list including a platinum) where you have to come in third place and then record a replay. You can do this with normal cars, but you have to try to start bikes multiplayer and have it fail and move you into cars multiplayer. If you start cars multiplayer it won't work. But if you don't care about driveclub bikes you can probably ignore that, although I can't remember if you can actually avoid getting trophies from the bikes list. Like, when I started the game, it dropped me right into a bike race (which was fun).
The only "long" online one is the 1000 miles in a club. Sitting down and playing through the game you will get this naturally, but it will take some time. As far as I know, it does not require PS+. You just need to be in a club. As long as you have, uhhh, I think 3 people in your club? Maybe just 2? You should be fine. You could probably just start one and randoms might even join. There was one where I had to leave a club and start my own and have people join it to get some trophy because it didn't work. I think it may have been "Teamwork"? I really don't know.
By far most of the trophies are offline, and by far the funnest I had was in the DLC trophies. One of the most enjoyable 100% trophies lists I have ever done.

Thanks for the answer!
I just realized I haven't all the DLC for both Cars and Bikes (I confirm the game drops you in an unskippable Bikes race), so I'm fucked for the 100% on both lists, I thought I have followed everything said in OP. :(
I don't have access to Suzuki, MV Agusta, Finish Line (appears in Cars instead of Bikes), Ignition, Photo-Finish and No Limits.
Sony completly fucked the DLC situation, I'm so mad right now.

I really don't get this attitude.
"If you haven't watched Star Wars TROS at this point, you probably don't care to watch it or be spoiled"
A lot of people discover things they love years after release. And nobody has time to play everything.
I'm still upset I never bought Outrun 2 on Steam, or Marvel Vs Capcom 2 on PS3.
I bought DC on day 1, great game by the way.
I did my level best to try to spread the word on what was missing. It really sucks man. Hopefully you can find a friend to share with you (they'd just have to make your console their main temporarily for the duration of your playthrough). Idk. None of those DLCs are super long. They are all a single wall and the final, not two walls and then final like many of the main game's DLCs.
But yeah it's awful. Some DLC just was not listed at all and you had to manually search it. Such a horrible mismanagement. No wonder the game did poorly. Makes me so mad.
In the mean time, go for the online trophies I guess. Because those will be hard limited after March. Whereas it's always possible you could find someone with an account with the DLCs, technically.
Thanks man lol. Had a few people thought I was crazy. Glad I could help some people. The DLC was the best part of 100%ing it for me.
What is this friend sharing tip? Anyway, I don't have any friend with all the DLC, I'm not much of a PlayStation player to begin with.
I already started the Online Trophies, immediatly joined a Club and a PSNProfiles session for the Bikes Trophy with 6 players.
First impression from someone playing mostly on PC: the game really needed a Pro patch, it's rough on the edges and I really feel this 30fps limitation (I played a lot of racing games at 1440p/60fps recently). But the first races reminded me of PGR4, a lot, one of my best memories on my 360 days and a pure joy to unlock all achievements. Another great racing game forgotten by its publisher.
Yup. It's a great game. Even a pro patch to patch up the aliasing would help. Great graphics even today.
Also yeah to share stuff, you'd basically need someone to make your PS4 their primary, and then you can play any content they own. I don't think they have an official game sharing system...as far as I know. But it is a possibility.
I never knew that. Well, like I said, I don't know anyone who can help with that, so I'm still fucked for the 100% completion.
The system described is intended for multi-console households. You could buy the game once and you and your kid could both play it on two different consoles in the same house at the same time, which is within the ToS and intended system behavior.
Replaying this in VR.. both VR and non VR versions are just sublime and I still can't believe we never got a sequel.
My local gamestop still sells the Season Pass, if I buy it will the ps store let me redeem it? I've got a physical copy of the game.
I would think so.
I remember people buying digital codes for delisted games before.
Someone of my Driveclub discord server told me that Season Pass doesn't work anymore if you redeem now. Basically you download the stuff but the cars are locked, so you can't play the Season Pass content...
No issues for who has bought it back then, even if you reinstall the game now.
Driveclub Bikes works even today if you buy it (always by the informations I've received).
You can try and see, maybe you waste some money, maybe you have GOAT contents but that's what someone told be about the Season Pass redeem now that the servers are dead.
God, this game got butched hard with the death of the servers... no preservation for one of the best racing game ever made... so sad :'(

Does it? I played a similar challenge from another DLC last night, and I got that star easily - you need less face offs than there are laps (so here you need to do 9 out of 13), and the game gives you "Driveclub"/offline face offs, not other people's ones.
Edit: I recently went back to DC and damn, I forgot how great it is. Trying to finish DLCs I've never played before and it just reminded me why this is my favourite racing game ever 🥰 If only it received Pro/4K patch, it would be even better, but it is what it is, and it still looks amazing.
So this game was basically sabotaged due to Yamauchi's saltiness?
Just going off Digital Foundry's comments in their PS4 reveal retrospective, I hadn't head that one before.

Ideally yes, but tbh I gotta strong feeling this is the exact type of game that they purposely leave room for with a saying like "we expect most will work"
It's still, and will always be, fucking amazing. Always prayed for a Pro patch because the only thing letting it down is the resolution/IQ. But those weather effects are still god tier.
Yeah, this was before the rise of TAA in prominence. A few games from that time have IQ issues; Alien: Isolation is another one. We take improvements in IQ as a result of TAA these days for granted.
Anyway It was, and still is a fantastic looking game marred by IQ issues.
I have no idea how you got this, for me those Face Off doesn't appear at all, it only say "servers are offline" and nothing is showed. I'm talking about the same challenge of the video.
Wut?! Never heard about that before. Care to elaborate, since I don't want to watch the video for it (I prefer written pieces).
This game and Evolution Studios.
I was actually going to write a topic here on why i thought Sony's biggest mistake this gen was closing down this studio and giving up on Drive Club as a franchise so soon.
But then i thought i'd probably get hate answers so i gave up, lmao.
Also saw that but they never said it was "sabotaged" by Kazunori, just that he was not pleased by the competition.
I mean, are you implying that the Driveclub's release shitshow was an inside job by Kazunori? Because that alone killed the game.
Just checked again, and loaded the same challenge as in the video - face offs work, they're offline in the singleplayer campaign. The game just gives you specific face off targets with Driveclub icon instead of some player icon. Same as in the video (it starts here: https://youtu.be/1IWTZPA4i6g?t=66). Just drove a couple of laps in this challenge and got a few face offs while doing so.
Don't mistake it for the regular notification that is there at the beginning of every race, when game tells you it can't connect. Check again, it should work.
Yep, there are too many people who don't have a good taste, which in itself isn't a problem, but when they come in Driveclub (and Evolution) threads just to say how shit they are, then it's annoying as hell.
I'm just going to quote from the video, it's at least ambiguous enough (especially in the context) to be read that way:

You can download everything you claimed before. I tried to make a thread warning people if they got the season pass they needed to still claim the stuff it gives you.
Going from dismay with competition within the own ranks, to 'sabotaging' a game, is quite a leap.
Ok, then that is the problem, since isn't possible to claim DLCs granted by the season pass. Thanks to everyone :)
Nope, they doesn't appear at all. They only explanation is that if you have already got the star, those face off doesn't appear anymore, and that should be a normal behavior that I didn't remember was a thing.
So yeah, once you take the face off star they have no reason to shows up again, it must be that.
Sorry everyone for the fake news, I'm going to edit my original post :)
I really hope this does become Backwards compatible on the PS5.
Also hoping the PS5 has some sort of enhancements to PS4 games (It would be fantastic to play this in 4k!)
This game deserved so much better. :(

gamestop has them for $9.99.
walmart should have new ones at $9.99 too. but you have to order it online.
call your local gamestop to see if they have the season pass. but you should be able to easily get the phyiscal copy.
Oh, so it had a physical release?
I'll try to track down one on game (I'm located in Spain)
Yes. All PS4 games had a physical release. its even part of their greatest hits program so it had a re-release.
Although it's conjecture, it really wouldn't surprise me. To not give Evolution another crack at DC after what they were able to build eventually with the first game was an absolutely absurd decision.
Or keep the talented group in the company.
You know you have a talent set of people when everytime another developer studio or publisher, makes sure to mention "and we have former Evolution employees working on the game" in their game announcements.
