Forums - Sony - Driveclub taken back to drawing board, may not release in 2014

I was initially looking forward to Driveclub (probably mainly because it was meant to be a launch game and not much else out, and free to Plus members) and after being pushed back once, news suggests we may not even see it in 2014. Though not a huge driving fan, I do like to have variety in my collection and usually have atleast one driving game, and this was the one that looked most appealing to me.

Maybe I should pick up Forza instead for my driving fix

I would have thought Forza was an automatic choice over Drive Club for your driving fix if you have the luxury of owning both consoles.

Maybe it will be a holiday title to compete with Forza Horizon 2

I honestly think evo making a racing sim was a pretty bad idea. Sony already has a dev that does that and will do a much better job. Shouldve been doing something else. Wouldve been amazing (imo) if they wouldve made a vigilante 8, burnout, something in that ballpark. I think racing sims are to prominent these days.

I've never really been a huge fan of Forza, its ok, nothing wrong with it per se, it just never hooked me in.

And theyve said many times its not a Sim. 

Its an arcade game like Project Gotham

    Sim was a bad word on my part. I still think its a "meh" market. I mean look how rivals is doing. And like i said before Poly will blow anything they are doing out of the water. Best thing to do is something outside of the box and newish. If they had a lot of interesting ideas they should've given them to poly or colaborated in some way. 

   From what i heard about the game it sounded like it was going to be hot pursuitish. Just no need to copy it.

I dont think it has any rivals at the moment, its not a SIM and its not over the top NFS arcade, i sorely miss Project Gotham, sad day when Bizzare Creations closed there doors. If they can recapture that it will be great, if not yeah probably just another mediocre racer.
