I was actually really looking forward to this game. I haven't played a racing game since PGR 3.

I guess it's better they have it done right then rush a broken game like most companies/EA.
 
Announcement of announcement. What has defined this gen so far

Release date better be given soon. I don't mind waiting on the game but I hate being told that I'm about to be told something
I think this one can be forgiven.

It is clear they do not yet have a date, but likely based on how a few things progress in the very near future they will be able to have a concrete date, and at which point they'll relay that to us.

But the reason for this statement is obviously to combat the fact that some were bitching about it being marked as TBC for Japan.

Don't forget IGN asked them for a date. It isn't Sony off their own back saying oh hey everyone, a date is coming soon trying to hype up a date reveal.

You act as if the horribly compressed ten second videos aren't all that we've been getting. But hey, it's an upgrade from when they only released animated gifs of the game.

Are you having some kind of meltdown today or what? Endless posts on the same thing.

These teases...

On the other hand, i predict a 1080p 7 min trailer with the release date at the end for the full hype effect.

March* release inc

Yeah i suppose it's not really an announcement and more of a PR response necessitated by the questioning. Still a "no comment" answer would convey much the same imo

Don't know why people are being so damn negative. Evolution has shown again and again that, given enough time, they can make pretty amazing racing games. And time is what Sony is giving them here, instead of making them rush something out before it's ready. This game is gonna be awesome.

But yeah, I do hope it's not too far off. Infamous is in March, so probably April for this.

Launch date for this game is just part of the story, I want to know the frame rate this game is running at.

99% sure to be 30 fps with some sweeet eye candy. Sure, 60 is perferable for a racing game, but with some nice motion blur 30 is just fine. It never bothered me that Pacific Rift and Apocalypse were 30 fps, they felt great to play.

I guess Sony looked at their games and realized they have nothing for the christmas season. So they readjusted and the schedule is now

March 2014 Second Son
November 2014 Driveclub
March 2015 The Order
November 2015 Uncharted

Why aren't people harassing other developers that barely revealed or showed off their game? Some of those actually have release dates, like Titanfall. We saw the E3 video and 1 other short video and no one is harassing them? So far we know that there's 2 maps and 3 titans.

I have no idea why people expect Evolution to show off gameplay footage of their game every week when it's still in development. Remember when they did that pre-e3-August? People took giant dumps all over the game and bitched about every little detail. If I was in their position, I would wait until there's a month or so before release so people can see the game in it's retail form.
I'm guessing you missed the gamersyde GIFs? It looked great and showed more than 1 car on the track.

Can't even give us an actual date for the announcement of the release date. This is beyond the pale at this point.

I do, however, look forward to the horribly compressed fifteen second Facebook video of a single car on a track that's sure to accompany this announcement.

Christ, we get it dude, your impatient as fuck

Is this a joke post or serious? I honestly don't know. I'm sure we'll see all of those games way sooner than that and most likely in 2014.

You seem incredibly eager for more news on Driveclub ... Why is that and what is hype?

So MLB is going to get delayed to 2016 March?

Calling it now... delayed to December 2014 or March 2015.

I'll go with this prediction. That and they spend fifteen minutes on the game during this year's E3 presser - after PS2-era style sales charts taking up the first twenty minutes, and yet another Destiny and Order trailer . . . leaving about ten minutes for games not yet announced.

Console is selling out everywhere, so there is no hurry.

Late April would be earliest window I can see it being released.
 
Forget an announcement, just show us the game. Its already been delayed, show us why. All will be forgiven if this game lives up to the hype.

At this point I feel as if you're just trolling.

April makes sense. Anything after May and they'll look somewhat foolish still advertising free Driveclub for PS+ during their E3 conference.

November??? What. I don't think that's realistic at all.
