Now we just need a confirmation that The Last Guardian is also coming out on October 8th...

I don't think my penis could handle such filth.

 

[Radec]

Should have use November 15th instead!

 

[Ol No Bones]

Is this still 30fps? If it is 60 fps than its pretty Impressive if not then whatever it still looks ok.

 

[Chums Knifeblade]

What on earth have they been spending all their time on? I mean, I'm nowhere near an expert on game development, but I played a damned demo of this last AUGUST. The driving model felt fine, the graphics looked fine. I can't imagine they've overhauled both of those things in the past year. So what was missing? What's the new thing they added or the things supposedly broken that had to be fixed? What could they have found that was so bad that Driveclub had to be pushed back at the last possible moment (like, basically gold master or fuck everything) for a whole year? And in such a way that heavily implies they didn't even know when the problem would be fixed until much closer to this release date re-announcement?

If we ever get to hear the story of this game's post-mortem, I want to read it. Maybe this is totally normal and expected, but from here it looks like something really bad happened and they're only now digging their way out of it.

EDIT: Finally got to watch the trailer. Unless the graphics have improved (and honestly who even knows, even if they look better what's a bullshot clip and what's real?), there's literally nothing new in the way of improvements or changes except the release date. Their vision of the game as we saw it last summer looks to be completely intact. So what changed?

I talked to one of the guys at PAX East and he told me the main reason why there was such a huge delayw as the social networking online part was still not up to par on what they wanted it to be

 

[Grover Cleveland]

That's a nice birthday present for me

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

Environments look absolutely phenomenal judging by this latest footage, best I have seen in a racer by a mile.

 

[Chabbles]

Man, whys it have to release so close to Project cars.. regardless, we're gonna get a better game at the end of the day, but with divided attention.

 

[illmatic22]

That release date...

Driveclub getting sent to die.

 

[ElNino]

If this turns out great (and I hope it does) then I might just pick up a PS4 for it.

 

[cyberheater]

source?

It's obvious looking at the trailer.

 

[flyinpiranha]

Racing game overload!

(I'm OK with this)

 

[Megasoum]

It's obvious looking at the trailer.

Of course, youtube only supports 30fps lol

 

[Loudninja]

We completely understand and share your frustration, which is why we're working tirelessly to bring you the game we've always promised. We'll give you more detail tomorrow about the challenge we've faced in reaching our ambitious goals and also explain how we're ahead of the game in a lot of areas, meaning that the game you will get in October is well worth the wait.

[RoKKeR]

can't win either way. No games, too many games.

Topics of the posts are completely different, but at least you tried.

Edit: Just remembered Batman is a week later. October is so packed already.

 

[Tsundere]

It's obvious looking at the trailer.

Although I believe it'll be 30fps, you can't tell anythnig from a 30fps YouTube upload.

 

[Freeman]

This is a good thing, Sony not holding to this news to be announced at E3 means they have more interesting things. I'm very interested to find out when The Order 1886 will come out, if it is November like I predict we can't expect much from Sony other than what we already know, maybe something for December as well.

 

[Chamber]

Same day as Dragon Age and a week before Batman. My fucking wallet...

 

[dugdug]

I keep seeing Sony throw around the word "ambitious" when talking about DriveClub.

Do we know yet exactly what is ambitious about the game? I'm quite looking forward to it, but, I can't think of anything we've heard about DC that isn't really something we haven't seen before.

It'll be nice to get some details on the game and the development.

 

[Betta Lines]

It's obvious looking at the trailer.

Are you a wizard?

 

[mangochutney]

Dang. Too far away!

 

[ComputerMKII]

Time to save for a PS4

 

[Koralsky]

Lighting is absurdly good. Can't wait!

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Almost a year delay after keeping everyone in the dark for six months...disappointing for sure. Looks really good, though, the prospect of 30fps racing doesn't sound so appealing after the launch period hype has long-since cooled and when there may be other equally-strong options in the marketplace. Wish they'd detail the structure of the game by now, especially after such a long wait.

 

[AlucardGV]

there's only youtube for the video? maybe a better version on psn?

 

[bob page]

Holy mackerel @ that trailer!

 

[Gazkapop]

Looks nice. Really nice.

Seems as if the PS+ version is still happening too which is neat. http://www.videogamer.com/ps4/drive...us_edition_is_still_coming_sony_confirms.html

 

[Shin-Ra]

Congratz Rushy for landing on Game Director spot. Now, do what we all here want you do do.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_Ocean_Road

Spoiler

also 60fps and support for all wheels

Not bad.

 

[MarkusRJR]

Wow, nearly a year delay from the original date? Do we know why it got delayed so much? Legitimately curious.

 

[Salex_]

So then Sony's 2014 lineup would be a port of a 2013 PS3 game and a game that was supposed to be a 2013 launch game? Ouch. I really hope not, their lineup is kind of pathetic WITH the Order coming this year.

Yeah, if you ignore all of their upcoming exclusives the lineup looks weak. Shocking.

 

[cyberheater]

Although I believe it'll be 30fps, you can't tell anythnig from a 30fps YouTube upload.

I'm not talking about the youtube framerate. I'm talking about the quality of graphics. It's going to be 30fps.

 

[Justice_Bolt]

Yes! Finally!

 

[daveo42]

Nice to see an update and a release date. This game looks really good at this point and I look forward to whatever news Rushy brings to us in the coming weeks before E3.

 

[SolidSnakex]

I need an official car list!

Here's a car list that was put together from trailers, images and other videos that they've released

http://www.igcd.net/game.php?PHPSES...d=1000010024&PHPSESSID=c18ff1&width=1600&l=en

It hasn't been updated to include the new cars shown in the trailer (like the F12 Berlinetta).

 

[Broadbandito]

It's obvious looking at the trailer.

its obvious looking at a 30 fps trailer on youtube? Like the other guy said, are you a wizard?!

 

[PodcastFips]

Wow, nearly a year delay from the original date? Do we know why it got delayed so much? Legitimately curious.

According to Rushy, we are going to get a development update tomorrow.

 

[BigSpleenRupture]

That release date...

Driveclub getting sent to die.

Why? There are more thee enough ps4 gamers hungry for a racer looking towards this.

 

[DieH@rd]

Grid Autosport - Late June
Driveclub - Early October
Project CARS - November

F1 2014 - Unknown [traditionally late September, early October]
Forza Horizon 2 - Unknown

 

[ViciousDS]

WOW, that is really late.....I hope it turns out amazing otherwise everyone is going to be playing Project Cars for the sim feel and the Crew for that awesome open world arcade racing feel.

 

[kaching]

They really need to explain why it will be worth the wait.

Any more than any other game has to? If you like this genre of game and *if* it turns out to be a solid or even exceptional entry in the genre, what more do they need to explain above and beyond any other game of similar quality?

I'm not talking about the youtube framerate. I'm talking about the quality of graphics. It's going to be 30fps.

Have you even seen Infamous? Funny how you consider it to be "obvious" when you're just going on a baseless assumption.

 

[BigSpleenRupture]

you know this how?

 

[ethomaz]

Soony delivered soon this time.... less than a week.

 

[hohoXD123]

you know this how?

We've been over this. He's a wizard.

 

[Harp]

This probably actually comes out on October 7th that is the 1st Tuesday of that month. And it would line up with the Playstation plus date for that month.

 

[Jamesways]

The ridiculous, overblown, jaded reactions in this thread are really annoying me more than usual.


Probably best to just leave the thread and avoid getting into it altogether.

Looking forward to the game, and it will be added to Batman for that week

Seriously, love the "Woe is me, it's too late, I can't possibly be bothered with this now" posts.

Just picturing a fickle woman with head back, back of hand on forehead.

Give me a break.

Going to be a super fun racing game with great graphics.

 

[Loudninja]

No change with the PS plus version

@Rushy33
@Nyteshade517 No change, so no need to worry!

@Impetuous65 It's all captured in game using a debug camera.

[Into]

Graphically it looks really good, even in that compressed video

Whether its actually fun to play, we will have to wait and see.

 

[Rogue_element]

Project Cars for me
