Playstation 4: Thread 02

[wakka]

Driveclub delayed? FFS. That was the only launch game I was interested in...now there really is nothing for me.

I wonder what will replace it on PS+ at launch. Knack, I guess.

[EvilBoris]

I doubt it, it was only ever the Free2Play version of DriveClub that was going to be given away, it was going to be DLC central, this was even before it was confirmed as being a freebie.

I bet they leave it as is, you'll still get the f2p version for Free, just not at launch

[GluedOnBeard]

I doubt it will be delayed but in the event that it is and they did for some obscure reason add in Knack then even better as I wasn't too interested in Drive Club. I have been more interested in the Xbox in general lately.

The new Titanfall videos were particularly good. People say how PS4 will be better graphically but I think the Xbox will do the same level just at 720 to 900p.

Most games this gen were sub 720 and it is much harder to tell the difference going from 720 to 1080 than it is for lower resolutions.

If DriveClub is delayed I'm in the camp of thinking there won't be a replacement. It'll be a shame if another game goes by the wayside but I'll still have tons to play so it's no dealbreaker.

Very true. On a pc sub native res looks bad because the screen is inches from your face but in the living room a full 720p looks pretty good even on a 1080p set.

Neil2k: Haven't had any hits on any previous parcels from VG+ (big or small), but yes, there's a risk.

Then you are lucky! I've never had anything in to our (shared) country that hasn't been charged. Must be on a black list

[Mr M0by]

DriveClub and Watch_Dogs were 2 of my 4 intended launch day purchases. I might now pick up Assassins Creed in place of WD but there isn't a replacement for DC as a non-Criterion Need For Speed doesn't appeal, though in the case of the latter maybe I'm being too harsh as haven't the majority of the Criterion team moved across to the newly founded NFS developer, EA Ghost? I guess I'll just spend more money on digital releases initially.

[arcnas]

is it 100% confimed that Drive Club will miss the launch if it does, then i might wait for a ps4 with this and watchdogs

The power of "gift" and a max value of 1000NOK. It's a game itself, trying to keep the shopping within the custom limits. I know BuyGame2 even lets you decide what value you want them to put on the package

No it isn't but the fact that Sony hasn't come about and quashed the rumour straight away plus Rushy's (Evolution) only comment on twitter was along the lines of "I'm on holiday, I don't know" rather than "of course not!" suggests it might at least have been up for consideration over the last couple of weeks.

[glazza]

Wow its getting worse by the day lol and if this is confirmed 100% true then I may be off to the Green side for me as both Watch Dogs and Drive Club were the 2 games along with Fifa I wanted the most.

[Brad]

There has never been a less impressive next generation launch. Almost nothing to impress over previous generation. I think Battlefield fans have a reason but no one else really? Not been monitoring terribly closely though so maybe I've missed something.

[Neon Ignition]

I've seen peeps on a few sites saying how they'd swap formats if the delay is true. Doesnt make sense to me, its swapping to a format that costs ?80-100 more for the sake of Drive Club. If you preferred the Xbox line up surely that would be the one preordered in the first place? Its disappointing that games get delayed but Watch Dogs isn't coming to XBO any faster and both formats are more than their launch line ups. Cancelling and waiting for down the line given its a busy time of year sure, but swapping it for a more expensive system as a short term fix? Nah.

[wakka]

A lot of people have the opposite opinion. The new systems are playing host to most of this Xmas's blockbusters, which is great for some.

However so far we have seen little to separate these versions from the current gen versions. And not only that, but the exclusive titles look pretty graphically underwhelming too (except perhaps for Ryse).

It's not that the graphics look BAD, it's just it would be cool if there was something that made you go 'woah'. It'll come in time I'm sure.

The people saying they'll switch to Xbox are just cutting off their noses to spit their faces. They want the game so much that they're going to buy a system that will never have it instead? Ummmm OK that makes sense. It might not even be that good anyway.

[JU!]

I don't believe Ubisoft pushed back Wach dogs just had to phone amazon and tell then not to put me into the bundle thing they e-mailed about, and leave my machine and Watchdogs separate. Drive club too. Ridiculous they push these back so late knowing there are bundles and pre orders involved.

Was so scared this weirdness of bundle that would not exist would affect my order.

Not sure what game to get at launch now :/. No DL Drive club either.
