Something something something ship it when its ready?

Speedy Blue Dude · Oct 29, 2013

I thought we already knew that NFS was delayed until November 22nd.

Or is it revealed even later than that?

Cragvis · Oct 29, 2013

sony pls

puffyshirt · Oct 29, 2013

Better not be later than the 22nd! I'm really, really looking forward to that game!

Kemal86 · Oct 29, 2013

oh fuck no.

hope it's just the 1 week slip from a few weeks ago.

Fracas · Oct 29, 2013

Every day something sucky about next gen comes out

BruiserBear · Oct 29, 2013

I'm hoping he's just talking about the Nov 22nd date. This is quite possibly my most anticipated launch game!

sneaky77 · Oct 29, 2013

both ps4 and xbox one say Dec 31st on Amazon

It appears to be both versions if Amazon is accurate. The PS4 and Xbox One versions now have a placeholder date of December 31st.

Clearly Microsoft is waging a secret conspiracy war to make Sony's console launch look awful. Watch Dogs? Microsoft paid Ubisoft to delay it knowing that Watch Dogs is seen as a PS4 game. Driveclub? Microsoft paid Sony to delay it too. AND NOW THIS. Goddammit, Microsoft.

But seriously, that sucks. We'll probably forget all about this a year or two from now but it doesn't help that day-one feeling that there's not much to play.

Also this joke is less funny now that it seems the XB1 version is also delayed.

Also here's a free spoiler.

Canis lupus · Oct 29, 2013

Dat launch date parity.

no racing game on ps4 ?

Kemal86 · Oct 29, 2013

Amazon has X1 and PS4 are both listed as Dec 31, not sure how long it's been that way.

Pop · Oct 29, 2013

Racing games can't seem to stay on track for launch.

Reluctant-Hero · Oct 29, 2013

Damn, I'm really looking forward to Rivals on PS4. What a bummer if true.

Ugh, they do too. Damn it.

btkadams · Oct 29, 2013

are you fucking kidding me?

i will be so pissed off if this is delayed. i really wanted a racing game at launch.

S¡mon · Oct 29, 2013

This is... disappointing. It appears that it was a really good move by Sony to bring indie developers to the PS4... lots of great games coming from those indies, which will - more or less - 'catch' game delays (like DriveClub, and now possibly NFS Rivals).

I'm pretty sure both next gen versions have had that date for a while now.

ekim · Oct 29, 2013

All that MP centric games get delayed. :-/
Hopefully the PC version isn't affected.

Loudninja · Oct 29, 2013

Does this game look ready to people?

I honesty don't know.

Foshy · Oct 29, 2013

NO FUCK YOU

I'm getting this because Driveclub is not ready. If this is delayed too then aaaaghaghgh

dammit if this pans out. ah well, I guess that means I don't have to choose between AC4 and Killzone anymore.

Chamber · Oct 29, 2013

Come the hell on, man. I switched my DriveClub pre-order to Need for Speed because I wanted a racing game.

Deadly Joker · Oct 29, 2013

Forza 5 to be THE next-gen racer at launch. If you want a next-gen car game, Xbox One is the way to go.

SniperHunter · Oct 29, 2013

No racers for ps4

Uh oh

Xbox one look like as well.

darkressurection · Oct 29, 2013

Amazon has had that placeholder date for a while, Gamestop is still showing it as the 22nd and other sites are showing as 15th (which I think is in fact incorrect) and the 19th. So who knows what is going on.

Who woulda thought we'd be missing Ridge Racer THIS much?

Namco dropped the ball for RR quality for long time now (see 3DS and Vita versions) and Bugbear's Unbounded most likely killed the ip .

I think Sony biggest mistake was not having a PS4 version of GT6.

VanWinkle · Oct 29, 2013

Ugh this is getting so annoying. I was going to get this since Driveclub was delayed.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Maybe he didn't realize it had already slipped to the 19th or 22nd, whatever it was... a week at most.

Curufinwe · Oct 29, 2013

Can someone post a screen of one of these change of release emails?

Dante · Oct 29, 2013

Weren't they ONLY showing the PS4 version at events? Wonder if the Xbone version isn't up to snuff yet and it's causing a delay?

Elios83 · Oct 29, 2013

It's the Ridge Racer curse

Hopefully they can still release it this year and I have a feeling the fault here is not of the PS4 version

Nibel · Oct 29, 2013

So is Forza the only next-gen launch racing game?

hopefully the change of date e-mails are just coming from those other sites.

please please please... I was fine waiting a week for this, but I need a racer with my new console.

BruiserBear · Oct 29, 2013

IF this is true, I think it's rather easy to say the XB1 version is to blame. When EA recently showed off Rivals to the press, the only version that wan't present was the XB1 version.

I don't think EA would release a PS4 version and have an XB1 version showing up weeks later.

flyinpiranha · Oct 29, 2013

Games keep on slippin', slippin', slippin', into the future ....

Aussie Legend · Oct 29, 2013

Damn this probably legit, EA's earnings and stuff is happening today so if they were to announce a delay now would probably ve the time.

Well that's disappointing for racing fans who were looking for an alternative to Driveclub

stonesak · Oct 29, 2013

People care about non-exclusive games? What a revelation!

FTF · Oct 29, 2013

Well this would suck, was going to fill the Driveclub void :/

madmackem · Oct 29, 2013

Will be a shame, maybe just the delay till 22nd to line up with next gen xb1 launch. I hope so anyway this has looked like the best looking next gen racer so far.

Kysen · Oct 29, 2013

After the BF comparisons EA must have freaked out. Can't be having more fallout, back to the drawing board.
