Another PS4 launch game delayed - DRIVECLUB

[T-hug]

President of Sony Worldwide studios Shuhei Yoshida has just announced on the PlayStation Blog that the PS4 launch game DRIVECLUB has been pushed back to 'early 2014'.

SCE Worldwide Studios and the team at Evolution Studios have made the difficult decision to delay the release of DRIVECLUB and DRIVECLUB PlayStation Plus Edition until early 2014. DRIVECLUB will be a truly innovative, socially connected racing game, but the team requires more time in order to deliver on their vision — and I’m fully confident the game will surpass your expectations.

This is the second PS4 launch game to be delayed this week, however DRIVECLUB is an exclusive and was to be the first game offered to PlayStation Network Plus members along with Resogun.
Instead of DRIVECLUB, Plus subscribers will now receive Contrast, along with Resogun at launch.
This isn't good news for the Sony camp, leaving platform exclusives at launch to just Killzone Shadow Fall and Knack.

Funny how Contrast looks more interesting than Driveclub.

 

[Gahars]

Driveclub? Please, more like Jiveflub.

Actually, "Jiveflub" sounds like a much more interesting game. Please, Sony, now that you have the time, do make it more like Jiveflub.

InB4 PS4 is delayed as a whole.

INB4 PS4 LAUNCH WITH NO GAEMZ ;o;

but I agree that Contrast is a much better choice than Driveclub.

PS4, please don't join the delayed game club with the Wii U. We need at least one system to have some games at launch.

Seems like a pretty decent list Although not my cup of tea

If Knack and Octodad are the highlight of your launch lineup...

or you can also buy a Xboned and watch TV while waiting the games for your PS4

My comment was more of a joke than serious.
Personally hearing any game on any system being delayed after launch always sounds ugly and makes me worry there might be more to come.

Killzone and Knack.

I thought it was launching with InFamous too.

Infamous is Q1/Q2 2014. They unveiled the LE and preorder bonuses yesterday.
The preorder DLC is an Infamous 2 epilogue.

Hmm...looks like they're delaying it to work on the game more...so I'm not complaining.

And really, I probably wouldn't have played Driveclub anyways...

 

[Silterpy]

they where already saying for a while that Driveclub was going to be delayed, at least that what the host on the podcast i listen to have said(psnation FTW)

Lets be frank here... Driveclub is not a HUGE title... This delay probabily will not hurt so many people (I love racing games, but this one is just another NFS, it is good but not essencial)

I got really hurted when they announced that GT6 was meant to be a PS3 title and not a PS4 one

it makes sense that GT6 is for ps3, every playstation so far has had 2 Gran Turismo games on the system.
so it makes perfect sense. or would you rather sony drop the ps3 altogether and focus only on the ps4, like what microsoft did to the xbox when they released the 360. alot of my friends that had the xbox were pissed when they did this.

 

[GameWinner]

Are they still doing the "Only On PlayStation" tag?

 

[Celice]

Hey, at least this isn't going to be a WiiU or a 3DS launch...

 

[SnAQ]

To be honest, this game looks boring as hell so they might just aswell cancel it if you ask me

 

[Deleted member 473940]

I can live with that

I saw the title there and first off I read it as
PlayStation ... 4 launch titles
and it didn't immediately hit me that such a title could be wrong
