Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Its still possible the PS+ version will release this year, isn't it supposed to be a "Prologue" type of affair and then the full game releases next year.

Feels like delays might be the big thing for next gen if this rumor is true.
 
Lovely. I am already lamenting just how shitty these launch lineups are. And now this? They should have just shut their mouths and released on 2014. Maybe the PS4 would have software and maybe the Xbone wouldn't be 50% underpowered.

Also, if I understand correctly, they are free if you own them already on your PS3. I wouldn't mind to see if there's a visual upgrade for any of those games' PS4 versions.

Also, I'm surprised people aren't talking more about Contrast since it's a PS4 console exclusive and slated for release at launch.

Unfortunately Contrast does not count because it's on PC and doesn't come in a disc at a store for $60

I'm pretty sure those are the current goal posts for a launch game now in this thread, I'm not sure, it keeps changing.

I thought Contrast was on everything, imaginable.

Evolution has said the Plus Edition is the full game minus a couple of tracks and cars. You can Platinum the Plus Edition, so it sounds like it would be most of the full game.

man, ps4 launch already sucked... now everything's getting delayed? lol

I guess it's still just Resogun for me day one. My PS4 will be gathering dust the next couple of months, though.

Yeah, I'm surprised no one is talking about it since it's been getting nothing but good impressions and it looks so good. I can't wait to play Contrast. We need more games with the film noir theme.
 
I think the PS+ factor was the strongest reason for most of the Drive Club hype. It's a new, unproven franchise, but all PS+ users get to try it for free at launch. A free game at launch is gonna be popular; put Knack in that slot and I bet it'd be trending higher than it is now. Even you admit the past previews of DC haven't been mind blowing; let it get the proper time it needs instead of dying during launch once a million PS+ users find out it's half baked. I don't think it's naive at all.

I completely agree with you. I think ultimately its a very very good thing. I don't want to shoot for the stars here but imagine we get a fully fleshed out racing game with 1080p visual at 60fps that at least sniffs at the target render we saw in February more than the current game does. That is only good news. Plus we don't have to worry about a gaming drought. There is still plenty coming out for the system leading up to Infamous and Drive Club but as a launch it definitely hurts the game.

Like Famous said, they will wait till they some good news (like a new PS+ title) before announcing it.
We saw the chaos over Watch Dogs bundles. They'll have a replacement Plus game, new date, and bundles sorted by the time they announce (I hope). Hence the delay.

i just had a talk with bishoptl through PM and he said i should apologize for Rushy regarding my post.

which is why i am posting in this thread again.

sorry dude if you ever read this thread and found what i said offensive.

Do not take it personally. sorry again.

Good move! I wanted to write something nasty in response to your original comment, but the thread moved so fast and people moved on. People should get a second chance and it looks like Bish gave you one. I doubt Rushy is going to be able to follow this thread, though. If you really want him to see it (eventually), send him a PM. :)
 
As someone who really doesn't care about any of the console war stuff, if the compromise Sony comes up with is "Driveclub PS+ Edition is now a beta, full version released next spring," I would be fine with that. If the compromise is "Driveclub is delayed, have two copies of Resogun!," I'm not going to cancel my pre-order or anything but I'll be disappointed.

I think there's a sizable (though not huge) audience who were probably hoping to try out Driveclub via PS+ before actually buying the thing (and also waiting for pricing details on the PS+ upgrade) who will be caught out, in addition to the people who had actual Driveclub pre-orders. So yeah, from a more objective "gaming industry" perspective I don't think this is great news for Sony if it turns out to be true, even if it doesn't result in a wave of cancellations. I'm hoping it's not, obviously.

If true that is too bad, I was looking forward to trying it out the PS+ version. New gens always suck me into a racing game. I love the look of them, but can never get into the gameplay, so free with PS+ was great for me, now I might get tempted by Forza.

Killzone is still going to scratch that launch itch for me on the PS4 side.

Overall I'm glad to hear about delays to get the games right versus just pushing out crap. I'd rather see that approach overall within game development.

Please, Point out the bullshit.............what you don't have buddies that eat into the gamestop garbage that is fed to them?

I'm sorry I didn't realize you knew my life, my buddies and the way they live.

Just odd that you know 2 people who heard this today and sprinted to wherever just to cancel their PS4s before it's even confirmed...and your little bro is simply devastated about Watch Dogs.

It feels like some kind of jedi mind trick attempt. If not, and it's all true, then my apologies and crow eating and all that.
 
As far as I know, the AAA rating is the the highest rating given by credit rating agencies after assessing credit worthiness of companies or governments. The term is often associated with budgets of the company or government in question. It somehow caught on to describe budgets for games.

Lol exactly!

Why are people reacting so badly to this. This is the consequence of whining about the game not being 60fps.

They aren't delaying it because it's not 60 fps. That would be idiotic to take such a huge monetary loss on that.

They are delaying it because it's not in passable form right now. If something isn't fit for a LAUNCH game, it must be in pretty bad shape.

No chance. Halo is hugely important to Xbox, they need it.

Yea Halo will be out Holiday 2014 no matter what for better or worse, IMO

I know i was asking for a 2014 source earlier, but it was still my opinion it was going to be holiday 2014, just didn't know there was a 2014 out there.

Disappointed for sure. It's still possible that yet more games will get pushed back. To be expected I guess, but still annoying.

So the PS4 is my knack and FIFA machine until infamous in february

Depends if you want any of the other games released for the PS4.

Personally I'm surprised no one is mentioning Injustice which is next gen console exclusive on the EU launch.

Yeah, who knows about some of them. I would be surprised with QB, just because Remedy are relentless, but I think SO will make it.
Sorry, I misspoke. I meant to say that it's currently next-gen console exclusive to PS4. I don't think it's being released for Xbox One.
Yeah, I looked it up, strange there's not an XBO version.

My little bro is a huge open world GTA style type kid......I mean hes playing GTA Online right now has nearly 100% GTA V in itself......so when I showed him watch dogs earlier this year he was so fricken excited that he got a next gen GTA feel. I mean this is just to hold him over till a new GTA or RDR.

As for the two buddies of mine, they are not fans of Microsoft period, they own PC's and are big racing fanatics. Meaning DriveClub was there big launch game they were looking forward to since they actually liked the social aspect that the game was mixing with itself. They are avid GAF readers.....not members and saw famousmortimers post, which they know his REP pretty well and went into gamestop to cancel. My local GameStop is apparently already informing people to be ready if they cannot get driveclub day one because of the rumors. Since my buddies were on borderline to just waiting till the crew (which got delayed) this only further sank the deal.

But I could see with no explanation where you are coming from.

No crow required.....I'll cook a good duck and we can enjoy a nice cigar together.
