Still of the belief games are announced and show way too early."When It's Done" is really the launch date every single videogame should use.
It's probably been 'back to the drawing board' for a while, hence why it was originally delayed. The phrase (which also seems like a poor choice of words now) was just an explanation as to why it was delayed, I don't think it's been anything 'sudden'.I still don't understand what the hell is going on with this F$%&ING GAME!
Just a matter of a handful of weeks back Sony said it would have a release date for DriveClub shortly:

Now, suddenly its back to the drawing board? How the hell does that happen?!?!?!
How does a game go from being nearly done according to Sony, to suddenly possibly delayed for months on end again?
Do their developers have any friggin clue what they are up to?

Aw, don't do that, please. You had me going there.
Come on now, thats a bit if a stretch.Its like Sony has no comprehension or cognizance of the status of its own developers.
The 'soon' was probably to appease those who were asking for a while. And anyway, how does that contradict everything? How do we know they haven't been making this major revision (if it is major) for a while? Again, the comment was just explaining why there was a delay, not that they were had only just started revising the game. It probably 'went back to the drawing board' around the time it got originally delayed, or when they were thinking of doing so. That could still mean they have an announcement for the release date imminent (although I highly, highly doubt it).Yes, but there is one problem with your logic. If the game has been "back to the drawing board" for a while, then why did Sony come out and say weeks beforehand that a release date announcement was imminent "soon"? If the game was clearly undergoing a major revision then making an announcement that its final release date is forthcoming in the very near future, literally makes no sense.
Its like Sony has no comprehension or cognizance of the status of its own developers.
Guess 1: They probably had mock reviews and scores were terrible. They are probably worried it will be like another Knack.
Guess 2: They dont feel the urgency to release this on PS+ now. As people are simply happy with Multi-platform games. PS4 is flying off the shelf. Why not put more effort and launch it with VR
Guess 3: GT7 folks looked at PS4 and probably told YOSP, that the earliest they can get the PS4 port is 2016/17. So they decide to make Driveclub a complete game and release it with next Forza in 2015
Guess 4: Studio is a goner. We will hear about layoffs in few weeks....
That letter basically reiterates the 'few more months' and suggests it is more about balancing and tweaking than anything fundamental.
That is all fine.
But that also contradicts with 'when it is done' which is often used when there is no clear end visible just yet (which shouldn't be the case as we are already a few months since the original launch), and also contradicts with 'back to the drawing board'. Although the latter I'm going to put down to a bad choice of words.
Please note: the 'letter' is a parody of the Witcher 3 delay press release, showing how perhaps the delay to Driveclub should have been announced. It isn't genuine. Sorry for the confusion! I'll amend the original post to avoid further confusion. I'll also get me coat...
Arse. Sorry, haven't been paying any attention to the witcher thread
Not surprised. Saw it at TGS and it looked super rough.
Think about it, they are devs that working all the time meaning time goes faster, hence their "soon" is much longer standard. I think devs would agree few months (6?) is soon/shortlySony said "early 2014" in the initial delay announcement and that has driven expectations. Since that time we've been told to expect details "soon" or "shortly", off and on since January.
My guess is, they're changing the game structure, all the core driving gameplay is maybe done, but the progression game is lacking. Probably they focus to much of social club aspect with real people, they realize there isn't much for single player progress.
So maybe they're adding new modes or changing how you progress through the game etc. Maybe some kind of career mode. Motorstorm game structure from the past has been super archaic, basically just a series of matches. No career mode, no car customization, no garage, not even money reward for completing matches. So if there's area they might ve lacking, it's on the wrapping of the gamr. Their core racing game and sense of speed have been top notch imo.
No. Not 60fps. If it's 60fps, regardless of how good it looks, it would've looked better if it was at 30.Get it right and make it fun (and 60FPS). Take all the time you need. Otherwise, you'll just be another boring racer.

Sorry, I had to.
Sounds like the date from that tweet right?I'm not going to make a new thread over this, because it could be a placeholder again, but I just got the following email from Amazon:

Which tweet?Sounds like the date from that tweet right?
Nah I was wrong it had a different date.Which tweet?

Before the downgrade?
Because unless it's the final version, you never know.

your peripheral vision, and in a real car its your peripheral vision
that gives you a much better sensation of speed. Equally, this wider
view gives you the ability to look further ahead or into an upcoming
corner. We are however actively working on solving this challenge and
are confident its something we can improve to bring the game ever
closer to real life"
September 30 is a tuesday, so highly unlikely.

Oh, I didn't know that, sry!Games release on tuesdays in North America...
Yeah screw Sony for not forcing out an unfinished gameWell that's fing horrible.
Sony hyped the * out of this game during pre-launch window, promising it would be a great addition to PS+ library, people bought systems because of it, people started mocking KI because of it and it's marvelous F2P nature, and where are we now?
"Back to the drawing board".
Well, that's what I get for naively getting on the hype train for this racer and for the PS4 as well. It's been gathering dust since december.
Yeah screw Sony for not forcing out an unfinished game
You should sell your PS4. Sounds like it's causing nothing but headaches for you.Actually, screw Sony for promising and not delivering.
I listened to the latest Podcast Beyond and Colin did absolutely nothing to clarify what any of this meant.
