Bad news on Friday.

 

[foxbeldin]

From an EU pov, if Driveclub releases in january, that's not such a long wait.

 

[Tratorn]

Contrast is not a valid replacement for DriveClub.

It is, because it's extra and not a replacement. You'll still get DriveClub when it releases, but now Contrast will be free too, which wasn't the case before.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Cancel the generation

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Yea Contrast does not make up for losing DC and the KZ MP trial won't mean much since most people who buy a PS4 are buying it with KZ4 lol

What do you suggest they do?

"A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad. - Shigeru Miyamoto

Good call on Sony's part.

 

[SgtCobra]

Greatness awaits right?

Right?..

 

[Tempy]

who do I ban

I am lost here

Everybody!

 

[SuicidalSteve]

who do I ban

I am lost here

shhhh. no ban. only dance now

 

[Black Duke]

Boooooo!
So disappointed

 

[Squire]

I don't care about Drive Club and planned on buying Contrast on day one, so this is actually a win for me.

 

[HovaHovito]

Next gen launch lineups looking a bit, err, iffy.

Really? Because of driveclub?

 

[GTP_Daverytimes]

Watch Dogs was going up against BF3 and COD, DriveClub was going up against GT6 and Forza 5. Both cases had a new IP going up against the 2 biggest games in their respective genres, How Ubi and Evolution could not foresee this is beyond me.

 

[Metalmurphy]

GT6 saved?

Hahahahaha, more like DC being given a fighting chance.

 

[Knuf]

In before pre-order cancelled.

 

[Radec]

 

[murgo]

It is, because it's extra and not a replacement. You'll still get DriveClub when it releases, but now Contrast will be free too, which wasn't the case before.

 

[Ulumsk]

The cookie is crumbling, CRUMBLING!
I'm almost wanting to cancel my preorder. Almost. First Watchdogs and now Drive Club. If Second Son gets delayed to holiday 2014 these pretzels are sure to be making me thirsty.

 

[Creaking]

It is, because it's extra and not a replacement. You'll still get DriveClub when it releases, but now Contrast will be free too, which wasn't the case before.

Plus, Driveclub PS+ edition ain't exactly the full game.

 

[funkystudent]

So when do all these early 2014 games start getting delayed until holiday 2014?

 

[Sidewinder]

Well, if it means weather will be in day 1 I'm absolutely ok with it.

 

[Toki767]

So Resogun is officially confirmed for the US PS+ IGC? That's cool news at least. As is Contrast.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

I don't even know what Contrast is, game-wise... I thought you guys were talking about DriveClub's contrast or something lol

 

[HovaHovito]

This is why you dont preorder

 

[maquiladora]

Well at least it wasn't a surprise.

If we get a better Driveclub then I'm fine with this.

 

[aly]

GT6 saved?

Teehee.More like DriveClub saved. Most people I knew were getting GT6 anyway

 

[Boogalogist]

Another launch game bites the dust. Hopefully when is launched, it'll be polished as fuck.

 

[Yoshichan]

Fucking piece of shit, I am so fucking mad right now

Unbe-fucking-lievable. I wanted ONE game on launch and now THAT's delayed. Jesus.

 

[artist]

Dat title change, bish is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.

 

[Frodo]

Bad news on Friday.

Such is life.

 

[Dawg]

I think tha-

 

[disastermouse]

So Contrast and Resogun are the freebies, and DC will be still be free when it releases. I'm okay with this.

I was going to buy Contrast anyway...so cool! If we're really lucky, we may get a PS4- compatible wheel (that doesn't cost $600) by then.

 

[Mifune]

Hmm I was hoping for Knack as a replacement. I dug Contrast at Indiecade though, so that's cool. Is this the first confirmation we've gotten that Resogun will be part of IGC outside of Europe?

 

[Gaogaogao]

Greatness awaits right?

Right?..

awaits, and waits, and waits.

 

[kevm3]

I mean it makes sense. They said the game was 35% complete like 5 months before launch. I fail to see how that was possible. If this is a better game for it, I'm all for it.

 

[m1k3ines]

Im still looking forward to Killzone, have that pre ordered. Plus there's still Resogun and those other launch window indie games.
Also what about third party games? Excited to play 2k14, AC4, COD.

 

[Sephiroth_VII]

who do I ban

I am lost here

Well, IIRC we have some Evolution Studios members who might need some motivation...

But seriously, this is really disappointing. I was really looking forward to downloading the PS+ edition on day one to play with my friends. Oh well, at least famous gets to stick around.

 

[Loudninja]

They wont give a release date until they sure this time I bet.

If the game need more time it needs more time good on Sony in making the tough call.

 

[Dantis]

It is, because it's extra and not a replacement. You'll still get DriveClub when it releases, but now Contrast will be free too, which wasn't the case before.

No it isn't. That's not how Plus works.

Drive Club in January (Or whenever) will be the big game for that month, not an extra game.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

who do I ban

I am lost here

Someone's getting Bished

 

[Cartman86]

I'm concerned that launch games don't have a lot of time to get made.

 

[GeoramA]

Man I wanna stick around and watch trolls get banned, but I'm off to work. Fuck.

 

[Duxxy3]

Looks like I am going to be playing a lot of ghosts and killzone this year.

Was hoping for driveclub at launch so I could have a racing game. Rivals looks good, but I am not a fan of open world racing.

 

[so1337]

That leaves NFS: Rivals as the only racing game available at launch (or shortly thereafter in the US). Bummer. I would've liked to have the option at least.

 

[Canis lupus]

Fuck I was so looking forward to that game!

Smart decision though, a week before GT6, it was gonna get slaughtered. But still...


:'(

 

[super-famicom]

Greatness awaits right?

Right?..

Yeah, it awaits til early 2014.

Also, looking forward to the stat padding in ShadowFall MP when all the new people log in for the free weekend.

 

[SentryDown]

Who cares ? It was probably the less anticipated next-gen launch game and Constrat for free day one is a great deal.

 

[sublimit]

I don't even know what Contrast is, game-wise... I thought you guys were talking about DriveClub's contrast or something lol

Judging from the trailer its gameplay is a copy of this game:

 

[Nocturno999]

Good move on Sony to distribute releases more evenly or people are going to start screaming "no gamez" in the first quarter.

 

[plainr_]

LOL. I bet the delay came from refocusing on 60 FPS this late in the development.
