Sony confirms DriveClub delay, game will miss PS4 launch
The news comes via a post on the PlayStation Blog from President of Worldwide Studios Shuhei Yoshida.
It reads: “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.
“This decision also affects PlayStation Plus members‘ Instant Game Collection for launch. To be clear, DRIVECLUB PlayStation Plus Edition will still be part of the Instant Game Collection when it is released. For the PS4 launch, in addition to Resogun, I’m pleased to announce that Contrast, the highly anticipated game from Compulsion Games will also be available to PlayStation Plus members for free as part of Instant Game Collection.
“We understand that the delay is disappointing news, but can assure you that the reason we have made this decision is to ensure that when DRIVECLUB launches, it will realize the next gen racing vision.
“DRIVECLUB is a really ambitious racing title and the game is looking stunning. The extra time we’re giving the team means the visuals and overall experience are only going to get better. We can assure you that it will be worth the wait.”
The news deals a real blow to the PS4 launch line-up, following Ubisoft’s announcement that Watch Dogs has also slipped. In terms of next-gen grunt, PS4 will now only have Killzone: Shadow Fall and Knack to show for itself. The loss of a racer is particularly difficult, as not only are they staples of a next-gen console release, but Xbox One has Forza Motorsport 5 ready to go.

Monster-Munch Well tbh i dont think a lot of people will buy this game but i could be wrong.
I just heard of this game now, so I guess it's not very popular.

You're right. Only the Sony fans said it looks "good". I'd rather play F1 than this garbage.

Why did they delay it? Looked like crap anyway, nothing will ever beat forza and anyone who has played forza knows this
And they know its crap so they were giving it away with ps+ lol

Falsified Man, that's a real pity. I've always loved racing games.
I'm a little disappointed myself. I wouldn't of minded to give this game a try when i purchase my PS4

Nearly every racing game fan will now switch over to xbox one because sony doesn't have a single good racing game launch title.
My guess would be a million or two preorder changes. Sony failed right here.

World_Star Wow Drive Club is one of the slowest games that had ever been created...
You do realize that this will just make the game better.
Just like Axe stated, the longer they have to work on a game, the better they will be able to make it without worrying about rushing it out.

If they make the game better than what it would be on its origional date, then I don't really mind.
It looks like a really nice game though!
