Forums - Sony - DriveClub making 'spectacular progress' release update due in coming weeks

The development of DriveClub continues to go "from strength to strength", SCEE has told VideoGamer.com while responding to yesterday's reports highlighting the recent changes at Evolution Studios.

In a statement provided to us this afternoon, SCEE said that it "would like to make it very clear that the development of DRIVECLUB on PS4 is going from strength to strength. The announced studio changes across WWS yesterday have not affected the development of DRIVECLUB or the DRIVECLUB team, which has always had great direction and continues to do so.

"We have full confidence that the game will deliver on its PS4 promise to be the first truly socially connected racing title and we are very pleased and excited by the calibre of work from Evolution Studios.

"The progress being made on the game is spectacular," Sony continued, "so we're looking forward to sharing an update on development, release date and videos of the game in action in the weeks to come. We thank you for your patience and assure you, it will be worth the wait."

SCEE also confirmed that "DRIVECLUB does have a Game Director at the helm who we will be revealing very soon."

It's an announcement of an announcement! Exciting!

Maybe those didnt affect but was it the director? Left last December. No way that didnt affect development. It might aswell be the reason why it got delayed.



Cool, looking forward to it.

I thought the director left in February 2014?

Good. This game really needs a release date.

The announcement of impending announcements is getting boring fast though.


While i agree that announcing an announcement is pretty bad,   Here they are responding to questions about yesterdays news.  If they arent in a position to reveal the info now, all they really can do is announce that an announcement will be coming lol  



I am Torgo, I take care of the place while the master is away.

"Hes the clown that makes the dark side fun.. Torgo!"

Ha.. i won my bet, but i wasnt around to gloat because im on a better forum!  See ya guys on Viz

In other words, the director who kept asking for more and more time to perfect his vision of the game is gone and we can now go ahead and get this game that there is barely any interest for anyway out on the market ASAP.



Release date coming in like... 52 weeks.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Not sure. I thought i read December. But yeah... that has got to have set it back for a bit.



Awesome, provided Sony doesn't fire even more people, we can get this game released!
