I guess. I'm leaning toward them deciding to bump the frame-rate and maybe throw in a few more cars/tracks/events.

Or, they went:
"s'up guys? Yeah so forget about that driveclub thing for a bit, we got you tickets to japan. Gotta crunch that GT6"
How is PS4 launch window any worse than X1?
i have to say that of all the games coming out this was the one i was least interested in, it sucks for those that were buying s ps4 just for this game ( in case the rumor gets confirmed ) if that's the case i guess sony would have to replace that game with another one on ps+ since that pretty much has been their hook throughout the year, i hope this is not true for those interested in the title, man i would go bananas if GG came out and said that K:SF was getting delayed 
Excuse me but how could this game be in a bad shape?
Doesn't look bad....but how many cars can you count in each video.......yes just 1, I think they do need the extra time as much as I really WANTED to play this launch day.
Will be interesting to what gamestop does since it was part of my order bundle.

Well, that first depends on what you're considering the "launch window".
Excuse me but how could this game be in a bad shape?
If you want to race against ghosts it seems perfect.
But with a few weeks out and we have not seen any actual gameplay of races, let alone online competition I would be surprised if it was not delayed.

I'm surprised how no one put any DC gifs for this thread until now :/

Almost everyone who has played it said there were issues. All the videos they have put out have been rather nice, so I don't know if maybe they were showing vertical slices that looked as intended.
Isn't the launch window from launch till the end of Q1?
Few things:
1) I agree that it hasn't looked great but I think my hope is more on the pedigree of the people working on it (both in terms of Motorstorm and that the guy who directed my favourite PGR game is working at Evo), not solely on what we've seen thus far.
2) I'm surprised at the outrage too. Make no bones, I'm disappointed as hell that this isn't a launch title, but I can see why it's not and to be honest I'm not upset that it's been pushed back to make it better. The biggest thing that concerns me is as a staunch objector to the strategies MS/T10 have gone through in both producing and marketing Forza 5, it'll get far more credit than it deserves purely because it's the only (exclusive) driving/racing game available at launch for either console. And that frustrates the living hell out of me.
I'm hoping that it's not as much of a delay as people are speculating ("Spring" is another 6 months away, isn't it?) because if it's not available for at least the honeymoon period of the first few months, I'm fearful that rather than selling on both being a good game AND being a launch title, it'll be grouped with the first big batch of third-party titles and get lost in the crowd.

Hasn't everybody played that same old (Gamescom?) build though? Following the threads here at least shows off some newer footage, including whats in these gifs. We've only recently seen the day/night transitions and first run AA.

Me too. Its not like they weren't showing the game. I feel like it really just needs more polish.

Been waiting years for these consoles. I used my reasoning to pick which console to buy. The rest is impatience
The most up-to-date build that has been playable was the one from gamescom, the footage in those GIFs is from a newer build.

OK. Well, in that case I think you'd find very few people who would agree the XB1's launch window lineup is not better than the PS4's.

How does Driveclub look bad as a game? It doesn't look to be any better or worse than any of the other semi-arcade racing game out there.

Should have made GT6 for the PS4.

All in all delays are good... if you have the right team working on the game
Just imagine how good the game might look like with a good decent delay.... we even might reach the image quality from the February Playstation Meeting

They are making it.
Im starting to think they found a major technical issue, one they know how to fix, but not quickly. If it was just content or managing 12 cars at once, they might still be able to give us the two tracks and 3 cars and call it a time trial competition with prizes (gt academy lite).
ah well...ive reached acceptance...cmon 15th, daddy want kz and BF4 (this delay may have saved my bf4 order.)

I hope this isn't true. I was looking forward to it.
If this is another ploy of Sony like the Feb event, mind blown.

You mean GT7 don't you? Estimated to be a year or two away?
There's no strategic advantage to doing that this time around.

fist gif looks god damm like hell
second and third just like crap
mabye the first is a cinnematic and the 2 other real gameplay?

Yeah, that. GT6 is going to evolve into GT7. Shit takes time, yo!
Oh and yeah, I don't like the ghost gifs. Game looks very very simple in it; looks very incomplete actually.

So if no one has played the newer build, no one outside of the studio knows how its actually running, which makes the delay make sense.

Well, this is really shitty if true. First they have to deal with the Watch Dogs delay fallout and then they have one of their own tent-pole first party launch titles delayed. Not the end of the world, but it certainly doesn't look good either. Less than a month out from the release and a big launch title may be delayed, it isn't pretty anyway you slice it. It'll a tough sell. However, I wouldn't be surprised if part of the decision to delay the game came from Sony wanting to spread out the release of games after launch. Keep early next year (assuming the delay is to spring of 2014) solid with new games in DriveClub and Infamous, plus Watch Dogs now. Killzone, Knack and everything else can probably hold steady for a few months.
The One launch lineup will likely look a lot stronger to a lot of people if this is legit.

Other than lighting, both Need for Speed and more importantly Forza looked better to me.
That doesn't translate to "bad", but it might translate to "not good enough". I'm glad they're taking the time.
What on earth? What looks remotely bad about the last two?

Yeah I read that too. I don't think it'll come that soon though. Those guys take forever to make a GT game. Unless they release another prologue first
Crap?

I agree with you, unfortunately. Man, I remember getting a PS3 early on and waiting what seemed like god damned forever and a day for GT5.

Seriously man. Gorgeous. The lighting and shadows add so much depth.
Yet the race hasn't even begun.

Believe it or not, Sony brass don't hang out on NeoGAF or other gaming websites and are available to respond to rumors at a moment's notice. The game isn't delayed until it's delayed. I've yet to see official word, doesn't mean anything.
They aren't on Xbox.

Yeah me too. The demo for the prologue was the first thing I downloaded when I got my PS3. Then I waited and waited and waited until GT5

first is from the PS Meeting... so in-engine
the other two are from a recent direct feed but they still looks impressive
Of course there is some aliasing (which evolution said they where adressing) on the car but the environment/pavement and lighting is superb in my opinion

How do they look better? Graphically?
What the fuck? This is a new height of trolling.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
Actually, Eurogamer is one of the sites driving DOWN the Metacritic average of both Motorstorm and Motorstorm: PR. MS got an 80 from them, and MS
R got a 70.So what you said is wrong, dead wrong.
Other reputable sites scoring MS
R poorly:Edge 70, TheSixthAxis 60, the Official Playstation Magazine 60.. and hell Game Informer gave it a 73. 11 out of 63 reviews were 90+, and 5 of those sites I've never heard of.
Apocalypse got only 1 90+ and that was Gaming Nexus. Yeah, I don't know them either.
