I find him one of the more open suits out there, sure he's still a suit but i find him likeable to the point of giving him the benefit of the doubt. Clearly he's not going to say "its shit"! He could of said, nothing to report, please understand....but anyway.

I can see this. First time I tried 3D on home tv I felt a little sick but got used to it.

It was and is, it just happened resonate. Nice selective use of bold too, paints your picture perfectly.

Needed is past tense. Game finished confirmed.
There's a fundamental difference here. I'll let you try to figure it out.

I just need a racing game on PS4. Rivals just isn't cutting it.

WHAT?? Oh man, I just assumed it would have VR at this point. The world no longer makes sense.
not sure why you would assume that given it's a 30 fps game that is likely to ship a year before Sony gets the VR hardware out.
I could see a VR mode in DC2... maybe. or GT7.
Sarcasm detector is broke but I do agree.
And I'll let you try to figure out the overarching point.

He said it was crap, but not publicly until after it was fixed and released. I don't see how that's the same thing as hyping a game prerelease. He also hyped PS4's launch line up and said that he was disappointed by the scores, despite pretty much everyone agreeing they were mediocre.

Read what he said. They did use it but it made him sick. That's where you get your rumours and connections.
Rather he says something publicly is irrelevant. He has a history of halting or even canceling products he honestly thinks are subpar and as Im glad you also pointed out, he is willing to put his name on the line for products that are good and will express disappointment if they aren't recieved well.
He was at the forefront of canceling one of the most anticipated new IPs from one of Sony's top teams because he didn't think it was going to be up to par and overshadowed by other games. There has been delays on top of delays on games like TLG because they don't meet up to standards.
When somebody says they are excited by Yoshida's promises, its with good merit.

I'd say it's more because drive club is only 30fps

Hey you know that game that was supposed to be a game releases at the same time as the PS4? Well, it's 5 months later and we're still not even telling you the release date, but it's coming. Do you like how up date we are with information? Here's a 5 second clip of the game until then!
This type of bullshit makes me want to only get it on PS+.

For you, no.
Wondering which one will come out first. Driveclub or Gran Turismo.
Are you serious?
So you want to rent it trough their very own rental service? That will show them.

I think Driveclud has reasonable chances to come out before 2018.

Well, I think there's a huge difference from paying $60 for a game and not paying it all. Don't you think? PS+ for an entire year with tons of free games doesn't even cost the price of the game. You don't think Sony would rather have you pay for the games they sell?
Either way, hype deflated. It had a good chance of being purchased without much competition at launch, but with summer comes the DK2 (ordered) and a PC upgrade, plus getting some PS4, Vita, and 3DS games. There's just too much competition for it now.
Ah well, hopefully it doesn't go through the GT5-esque debacle "no, Spring!" "well, probably not Spring" "OK, this month" "now .. we never actually 'officially' said 'this month' so next month". And it still had major issues.
I just hope it launches while I'm still within my year for PS+ so I can try it. No wheel support = no buy and no VR = sad. Hopefully they'll patch it in, I don't care if it's a lower resolution (or they are building something else for it which is fine).
I think whatever prototype they have was probably 60fps. I don't think they're that naive that they'd try 30fps and call it a day.
I'm curious, though, if the nature of the game's handling, the nature of its environments (a lot of high frequency detail which would heighten speed perception), the nature of the road topology (more off-road than smooth track) etc. are a factor, that might make a game like it more difficult to mesh with VR than some other racing games. And they're obviously not going to change those things just for a VR mode. Might ask yosp if he thinks there's a fundamental issue with racing on VR or if it's a matter of individual game characteristics.
Yeah, unless it was a VERY early prototype no one working with VR would try 30fps.

Yeah, well now it's obvious. Two days ago before the Morpheus reveal plus the lack of DC news until now caused the VR driver's seat rumor mill to go full force. It just sounded so perfect

Yes I'm sure they will be happy that people would rather rent it than pay the 65$ I might have paid for it. Surely.

What a waste. That is the kind of thing that might make me go with the OR in the end.
I understand where he comes from, trying to preserve the image of VR, but still feel like a huge missed opportunity.
Motion sickness is something some can get used to , so what if Yoshida felt sick? Giving us an option to chose would be much more appropriate. Just warn people to start with small sections and stop if they are not feeling well.
Some experiences are going to make people sick in VR, many RL experiences do the same.

Although there was a bit of software scarcity at the launch of the console, am I the only person who is happy that many launch-day or launch-window (whatever that means) releases got delayed in order to be polished?
When comparing this generation's launch to previous ones, there is hardly any one game I remember I would want to play now, but most of the games being released for these new consoles have enough quality to be appreciated even years from now and I think that's more positive than having rushed mediocre software on store shelves.

Developers get roughly the same amount of funds as downloads. Plus, you are plopping down 60 bucks for their service, and it's not even the full version of the game.
Surely it's Sony - 1, You 0.
Yes.

it's not like he's going to confirm it just like that. they could lie to surprise us, much like what david jaffe did when he said twisted metal isn't coming then boom, weeks later he was at e3.

Good and bad news at the same time, at least we'll get DC before Morpheus, but no DC VR at all is disappointing. See you with GT7 in 2017 ;(
My guess is they're retooling the social aspect and challenges after their first go was found to not be good.
Making a pretty driving game was the easy part. Making it a good social MP game is obviously tougher.
This article confirms that they were working on it and scrapped it.
If the delay is truly necessary, so be it. But there'll be enough going on this year that DriveClub isn't necessary to justify my purchase of this PS4 anyway. I'll swing around if it releases and proves worth my time, but I'm happy to scratch it off my list until then. This autumn is probably going to be chock full of good stuff even without it.

They get the 60$ regardless and you're telling ES will make just as much money as long as most people get it on PS+?
Yes I'm sure Sony is ecstatic if people get a free version instead of giving them extra money on top of PS+. Logic - over 9000
It's confirms that they presented the concept and it got scrapped. There's no proof this ever got anywhere past that phase.

Bummer. That rumor got me interested in the game. With the delay... will likely end up moving on and playing it when its easily in stock via GameFly months after release.

That's a real shame. I've not experienced any problems bazzing around at top speeds in VR. There's a Mario Kart DK Mountain demo that was a bit tough going over some downhill ramps, and flipping your truck in Euro Truck Simulator isn't pleasant (which actually works in its favour) but straight racing games would rock.

The fact that VR is coming out next year means they can always implement it later. Gran Turismo 7 will surely be a VR Beast.

On the one hand that's a bummer it won't have a VR mode, but on the other hand that means we might actually get it this year. You win some you lose some.
