Found this on ign. Wow, driveclub was supposed to ba a launch game too.

“What I will say is that it all comes back to that fundamental principle, and that’s that we want to build great games,” Rohde said. “And we really don’t want to release a game before it’s ready. And sometimes, this happens in the normal course of business, where we think we’re on track to deliver what we think is going to be a great game, and when we get closer, we realize that we’d be doing everyone a disservice if we shipped it before it was ready.”

“So, I think that at PlayStation, perhaps more than at other places, we’re willing to kinda eat that [cost],” Rohde continued, “and go back to the drawing board and make sure the game is great before we ship it. And that’s what’s going on right now with that game.”

When asked about when it’ll launch, Rohde said, “We’re not announcing any specifics on that yet.” When pressed on if it would still come out sometime in 2014, Rohde refused to say, though Sony PR stepped in to say that we’d get more details soon.

There's nothing here I didn't already know.



 

The PS5 Exists. 


Reminds me of the MGS4/GT5 situation, perhaps also Killzone 2? Delays for YEARS.



Expecting layoffs at Evolution once this ships. They didn't do what Sony needed them to do (provide an exclusive racer for launch; especially in WipEout's absence) and I can't see it finding any traction once it actually comes out, especially considering how poorly racing games have been performing across the board lately.



Should have put GT6 on PS4, you dummies!

I wonder what they will do. Its mostly a design reset, nota graphics one. So the cars and the envyronments are already done. They just need to figure out the systems.

I would be fine with a GT clone though. I wonder if the GT6 sales scared them.

Good one. You could say consumers are becoming tyred of these types of games.

Not sure why driveclub is even neccessary since they could've just ported gt6 to ps4 near launch. It would prob give gt6 more sales and give ps4 owners a launch racer. The game does look pretty good though.



this will launch with VR headset it's obvious
