Message from Shuhei Yoshida - Driveclub PS+ Delayed Until Further Notice
- Thread starter bananafactory
- Start date
I did see people in the old PS+ thread actually cave in and buy the game instead.
Which is...not the way I would have handled it, but whatever.
COH as in City of Heroes? Wow, if yes. Loved that game and used to play it a lot before it got shut down. Had no idea you were involved in it.

Sony is dropping the ball here just as Microsoft is heating up. Not good for them, not good at all.
Hello, this is Greatness. I'm sorry but I'm gonna need you to stay on hold.
Though in their defence, it explicitly says awaits and not "has arrived".

Sony doesn't have a massive network of dedicated servers for their games you guys. Each game/developer sets up its own, all Sony can do is give them the resources (money) to make sure they can get what they need.
If they make a mistake in either the design or number needed that's on them.

I have been asking myself the same question for a while now.

How do you even go about arguing that is the reason you bought PS+?

Absolutely. Though I still find it shocking how they got into that mess in the first place. You'd think a big PS4 exclusive that touts it's online social connectivity would at least get that aspect working. Did they only test it with like 5 people connected or something?
The entire project is already a disaster in every conceivable way. Driveclub is, without a doubt, an unmitigated failure.

Id be more outraged if Driveclub didn't look boring as shit to play, but this is a serious black mark on Sonys face especially with the crappy PS+ offerings as of late.

Unless some magic happens, the Driveclub IP is dead, though. Do you think people will buy DC2 after this mess?

Probably Company of Heroes as I think he works for Relic.
Ouuuuch.

Too late, can't be bothered to care anymore. I'll still play it when it comes out but man am I glad I didn't decide to buy this in the end, if they still can't guarantee online service to paying members that they need to take a step as drastic as this.
Also, I know this is horribly unfair, but it kills me more and more that Sony shuttered Studio Liverpool and the Wipeout franchise to facilitate this bullshit.

Shu to the rescue. Thanks for the update Shu. They admitted mistakes were made and they're working on it.

Oh yeah, Driveclub is dead in the water. Back to MotorStorm, guys!
I am a proud owner of the game and I do not regret purchasing it at all. A very fun game and the online when it works, it's amazing. No regrets and I hope they sort it out .
I know this is selfish. But I am happy that the ps plus version is delayed. The game deserve a sequel and I hope with the free version is getting delayed, gamers that want a racing game will go buy it this xmas.

Well its pretty clear these days that games are far more complicated than they used to be, so while these things are rare, they should be somewhat expected from time to time.
Assuming the message will be followed through on, at least they are prioritising making the experience of using the thing as best as possible rather than pushing it out and getting more issues

maybe when weather is done :\
Can they just release the Plus edition without online for now? some of us just want to get a feel for the game and enjoy the visuals, playing the campaign is better than nothing at all, they can add the online later for PS+ edition with a patch just like weather and other stuff.
Pretty disappointing.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
I was as hyped as anyone else for this game.
Currently, I have no intentions on ever buying ANYTHING from Evolution Studious anymore.
Seriously, fuck that.

Should really offer some kind of compensation to PS+ members at this point.
Driveclub was going to be the closest thing to a real game to hit + on PS4 so far. Delaying it indefinitely on top of a already lacklustre PS+ offering is shitty.

Didn't the last motorstorm game bomb?
I don't think so, no.

That wasn't really Evo's fault - they postponed its release due to sensitivity regarding the Japan earthquake/tsunami (considering the games content).
It then stealth released at a later date and no one cared about it anymore
