This. Seems weird they haven't done that yet to make money. Also weird they'd delay it... a month(?) before launch. Isn't that generally when most titles "go gold" and launch?

March is my birthday too, Monk. We can have a big GAF birthday bonanza!
Mine too! Can I join in?
Sure my good GAFfers! Here's hoping to a good final build for P. Cars and a great month during our birthdays.
+1
The Dev team is glorious. Wax on, wax off. More sales gives them more to go towards PCARS2
It's as if it is a surprise that there are a lot of games coming out in November.

I own the game and it already feels pretty finished now, a delay can only add more awesome polish or possibly content.

I will be glad since then I will have time to finish FH2 and Driveclub first.
from the post it sounds like its virtually all for polish

LOL this game is never coming out.
Also, why are so many of you guys giving this delay a pass, but you've crucified 90's Arcade Racer for being delayed, and yet both of them are suffering miserably from "Duke Nukem Forever/Half Life 3" syndrome.

Didn't Gandalf say this in the Wizard of Oz?
March is getting bloated. When will the onslaught end?
On summer like every year

It definitely seems to be feature complete, all the cars currently being modeled are for post-release DLC as far as I can tell. I'd say the main things that need working on are track decorations, you can tell which have been focused on and which have been left in alpha phase for a while. They're all playable but some are lacking scenery.
It's a new IP aiming to be a raw simulator that, for a change, is also coming to console a la Race Pro. Also it's insanely good looking.
If you paid for $45 tier, you can get Steam or digital console version for free when the game is released.

can you link to posts from people who gave this a pass AND criticized 90s arcade racer, or are you just generalizing?

Tell that to Drive Club. Although jokes aside it is a good thing. I feel the game would have got eaten up anyway. What with DC and FH2 just releasing and the Crew round the corner, not to mention the AAA onslaught in mid November. March seems great.

You also get a small share of the game's earnings if it sells beyond 250k copies, I think.
Also, I paid for that tier. Is it possible that I can keep the version I have on Steam and get the Xbox version or will it disappear from my library unless I pick Steam?

Well that is extremely disappointing since I was looking forward to it in November, but if they need the extra time I'm ok with it.
90's Arcade Racer - announced in early 2013
Neither one is even close to DNF territory yet.
Project Cars - announced in late 2011LOL this game is never coming out.

Yes please. If you're going to call people hypocrites you need to be more specific than that.

Considering many gaf members (including myself) are playing this daily I think its a little silly to say never!
Game is great but its not quite finished, its close but it needs a little longer, personally I respect an honest decision from the dev, would rather than that problems and patches.

More time for Forza Horizon 2!
I see. Thanks for the breakdown

Oh, and the console versions are setting framerate as their goal instead of resolution, so whatever they render at on consoles, both versions will be 60FPS.

Had no idea the game wasn't up to scratch. Pretty lousy year so far for PS4 racing game fans.

Nintendo forcing release parity
Good news. I check out every update through Steam and it definitely needs more time.
Plus, the timing will likely mean more sales anyway. Both with racing games just released (Driveclub, Forza) and other big names around the end of the year.
Huh? People are actually playing Project Cars as we speak. Have been for a while. The state of the game's progress is quite well documented.LOL this game is never coming out.

not to mention that both started off with crowd funding with an announcement long before most games would be.
a least it's moving to flop on another year.
You'd hope so, anyway. DC shows you can delay a game like this and still be blissfully unprepared for the launch.

Bummer. But I guess that means I can spend more time with Driveclub!
Yeah but some of us haven't been so lucky and would've liked to see the game released this year. The game was announced in 2011 and now is delayed til 2015......2015!! Hell, what if it's delayed again til 2016? 2017? How is that not entering DNF territory?

Good for Drive Club and people like me that bought that game. Now I can wait for the weather and screenshot update and not worry about it coming along side Project Cars release date.

What if it's delayed until 2050? Holy shit you're onto something here!
I like how the screenshot has a statement at the bottom that says "don't share this until we release the press release" yet the dude on reddit, this news source, and OP don't seem to give a shit.
Why would they need more funding? They've been fully funded for almost two years now, I believe.
And unless you guys are playing the game, you really have no idea how far along it is. I can say with utmost certainty that I'm confident it's coming along fine.

nah, that would be last guardian territory.
The point is that we know what state the game is in. Its not years away.
So you personally are salty because you can't play it yet and accuse it of being vaporware despite knowing full well that others have been playing it for a long time?
It's great BTW but not as polished as I'd like. It's good news in many ways that it's been pushed back.

Confirmed.
press release said:
I don't know for this specific case since I'm not "in the know" but I can tell you from experience that generally speaking the decision to actually delay the game is often taken long before it is announced publicly.
For example, in this case, I wouldn't be surprised that they decided to delay it back in july/august but waited until now to announce it.
It's not like you wake up one morning, a month from release, and realize that your game isn't ready to ship lol. You see those things coming when you are developping a game.
I don't think that's what the person is being salty about. I think he made his intentions clear in his first post.
