Yoshida: DriveClub not delayed for VR & will not have VR mode
- Thread starter gofreak
- Start date
That's a shame, and also not. While is was exciting to think of it in VR, its original looks and play seemed great. They no doubt have a different driving game in mind for VR. I guess that means you'll probably see drive club at e3
As far as VR and driving games go, it is possible, but a lot of complaints are with the rate of movement and lack of feeling inertia from turns that your mind expects feedback from via vestibular feedback. Project cars is going to be in VR likely for the ps4. We'll have to see how that does

I prefer when a developer decides it is better to not release a title for 5-6-8 whatever months to make it really better than releasing it and then the game sucking and trying to patch it etc.

He is surely an objective source.

Wait.
Was this delayed because Yoshida felt ill from motion sickness?
That sounds awesome!

They are taking their time to make a better game.
He's a Sony guy so what else could he possible say? "Sorry guys, the game sucks ATM, therefore we had to delay it".
They told you the reason yet again in the OP.
They also said this in January

damn he's admitting a failure of Sony's VR solution. What's even the point if it can't be used in your first party driving games
No, he tried a VR tech demo made by Evolution, but it had nothing to do with the DriveClub delay, nor will DriveClub have any VR mode.
Obvious. Morpheus is ages away, DriveClub was supposed to launch ages ago and should launch in the next couple of months. A VR mode would make no sense at all.
The delay has really killed my hype in DriveClub, though. It has gone from being one of the games that made me get a PS4 to a probable non-purchase.

Ah. I thought he had meant the game in general... which then returns to my previous statement of it being awesome.
Yosp puked all over dev kits and destroyed them. They had forgotten to back up in a while.
Mistery solved.

Well, delay it again so it has .... damnit! 
That game will have to come out in 2015, not worth it at all.Well, delay it again so it has .... damnit!

Sony conspiracy to get people to buy GT6 on PS3.

needs 2 extra inches
I gave up on getting a release date, but how about we get an updated progress report alongside a full race against other drivers from the latest build? Dripping 10 second facebook videos followed by complete silence about the status of the game is not filling anyone with confidence.
Look at my avatar Rowan isn't wearing anything on his head. He's not easily duped. He demands answers!

It just doesn't make sense to hold out on people when the game already looked fantastic.
Is it *really* going to be worth the wait?
how does motion sickness sound awesome to you? o.o

Yeah that seems like a strange thing to say - racing games (and anything cockpit-based where you're sitting down) are the least nauseous VR experiences for me.That's disapponting, I played a ton of racing games on the Oculus Rift and didn't get motion sick at all...
Now i can see Yoshida trying every Morpheus games and feeling sick, then canceling them !

Not the case if he tried Driveclub VR at 30 fps.

Hype for both dropped a tonne. Basically, driveclub is probably a longway away and Vr support is still a heavy concern and today didn't change my opinion of it. If one of the most obvious use of Vr is racing and their flagship racer doesn't have it. Better support from other studios doesn't seem promising. Sony already has questionable support of their own tech so this doesn't help.

Agreed.

30fps probably doesn't help.
I doubt they release it he same month as Destiny.

Yep, it does indeed. Guess Mr Gara has a different definition of soon than I do

This isn't an issue specific to Sony's VR.
Accelerations and speed are an issue in general right now with VR, and probably will be until we can trick the body better. I've seen complaints about racing demos on OR too.
OR's best practices say:

A racing game could push all these buttons. There might be better ways to deal with this in a racing context but we'll see.
I'm sure their VR demo was not 30fps.

the delay to driveclub killed all interest i had tbh, I'll still get the PS Plus version but I'm not interested in it at all anymore. As for the VR, i am interested in that, I want Dynasty Warriors VR.

Indeed, but that would be a clear explanation, and no reason to say 'this isn't working'.

he honestly said it was sickening at faster speeds. Admitting something like that is pretty much honesty at a level a corporation businessman would not admit. (normally they admit it months later and "apologize")
They had a hugely successful June release last year (TLoU), so they could be targeting a June release again, but then we would have to start seeing something from DriveClub again real soon. Maybe they are waiting to get Infamous out the door tomorrow first?
It's really for them to decide when the best time to release is. In this age of pubs/devs rushing broken games out of the door I'm more than happy for them to take their time and release when they think it's ready. As long as they aren't trying to pull a Gran Turismo 5 or anything.
Some of the cockpit games - like say, EvE - are dealing with speeds on different scales, though. Speed in a space environment where distance is huge and objects large is going to be perceived differently than speeds on the ground around earthly distances and scales.
As for racing games, this isn't the first time I've seen complaints about them in VR. Maybe some people are perfectly fine with it and some are not. If a decently large proportion of people have an issue that's a problem.
