Looks like Driveclub PS+ Edition might not be coming today

To be fair, the FH2 QL didn't exactly paint a very good picture either.

More like we can already see coming that even if it's good some reviewers will no doubt dock points for it not doing anything "revolutionary" and then give another game 10s for doing the same, even if it's good and does what it aims to in really polished fashion.
Though admittedly, The Order looks awesome in my opinion.
Edit: Plus it's not even the only great looking game or exclusive coming very early next year.
Probably because we paid money to Sony with certain things promised by them. We literally are entitled to those things.
You're forgetting Bloodborne comes out next year.
That sounds like PGR, and PGR4 was the best racing game last gen.

Before you edited in that last line I was going to say this post sounds like it came fresh off of the GiantBomb quick look.
Jeff is known for thinking Sony 1st party games are mediocre, he is the last person I'd listen to on these kinds of games.
Games can get away with doing it, but I don't trust them to do it out of the gate, it's something I have to try. PGR4 was great, but PGR3 was some bullshit.

I purchased my PS4 to play Driveclub at launch nearly a year ago.
Looks like I now wait until Friday,good job we all have other games to play.

And if 15+ people gave it a score of 8 or above, that must mean it's an 8 or above, right?

Sony keeps dropping balls left and right.
Timely releases? What?
Regular dashboard updates w/ advertised and new features? Huh?
Well-received games? Not unless they're ports of PS3 titles.
Advertising remote play via Wi-Fi on the Vita? What's that?
The only thing they got right was the one thing they had Cerny on... developing some really amazing hardware. Well, that and their continued indie support... but that's largely due to Microsoft being incompetent on that front until recently.
Hopefully PS Now doesn't land with a thud.

+1,
this looks like the beginning of the end for Sony, and more than likely Japan too.

Really want to try this game out, so it's a little disappointing if this gets delayed at all. Granted, I don't have a PS4 yet, but I'm hoping to get one shortly and really want to try this out before I decide to purchase it!
Clearly not, since reviews are still some of the most popular articles on gaming sites and review threads are very popular even on NeoGAF. People listening to personalities that have similar interests and opinions to themselves is neither bizarre, nor cult like.
You having moved past reviews or impressions from people is perfectly acceptable and truthful for yourself, especially if you found that those people often have different opinions and interests than yours, but not so truthful for all of "gaming" (whatever that even means, lol).

I find that when Jeff is in review mode, has been playing a game pretty much non stop for a week and is critically thinking about how the elements within actually matter opposed to being flash, he's 100% spot on.
It's when he needs to go back and think about stuff from 25 years ago where his opinion becomes almost more personality based. I mean this is the guy who thinks Yoshi's Island is a terrible game in 30 year old hindsight.
Well that is just crazy....Sony actively pursued indie developers from the get go.
What was mentioned and where?

Pack it up, it's pretty but it's got nothing to it. I know, it must be weird how a racing game looks like you're racing while looking pretty when all you're doing is watching a pretty racing game in video.
Yeah, her and her team/whoever else is responsible for inconsistent timing, store lateness or sometimes slow partial rollouts of store content on release day, that often get complained about, is the one thing I don't understand how it was allowed to continue in the gen changeover.

You'll note that's one of the things I said Sony got right.
The fact that the release date has a 2 day window suggests to me that we're not seeing this thing until thursday.

it was stated clear as day last week on the PS blog PSPlus post that the driveclub ps+ edition was coming as a bonus TODAY
Careful now, with that logic Grid:Autosport is an amazing game.
It is not. It's certainly pretty though.
And the europe blog says something different.
::SHRUG:: I don't know man. It's flipping a switch on a server. You tell me. All I know is that it won't be live before I go to the bar tonight, so I don't care.
But you said that was largely because of MS which just isn't true.

Jeff being his usual cynical self...but he raises valid concerns regarding the driving model. It doesnt matter how many videos, gifs, webms etc you watch....you can never get a sense of how it drives. Jeff has played alot of racing games, so most trust him when he says it sucks (more or less)
It looks like Horizon 2 is still the best nextgen racing game so far
Also...Dan didn't know what a hatchback was

Huh, what's going on here? It's the end of Sony because the plus version of Driveclub isn't online yet?
This has certainly been a strange day.

But seriously, though, guys, this is just GCT in action. This isn't even the only IGC game that isn't up yet (Rainbow Moon isn't up either, last I checked.)

Wouldn't know, never played (or even read reviews for it lol) it so I couldn't go as far as to say it's got nothing to it.
I love Giant Bomb. I love their final reviews, their personalities, and the content they create, but I really never trust them with first impressions on games. I'm halfway through the Driveclub QL and there is a lot of information Jeff is just completely unaware of. That includes but is not limited to how weather will be added in after release or what the PS+ version will include. Those seem like basic things that he should probably know. People that only go to GB for their impressions are left uninformed as a result.
Metacritic average? Ya. I try to only part with my bucks (wife and kid and all) when I truly feel 100% justify to spend 60 bucks on a game I may only play a few weeks (if it's not for me)
Unlike a kid, that even if it sucks, they have nothing else really to play, and lord knows when Mom and Dad will buy them their next game, so they play the shit out of it anyway.
When I checked an hour ago, it was a 74 I think. Even Alien Isolation was higher.
but Say the new Lotr game was an 85, so if I'm looking at buying two games (3 if you count FF 13 for pc)..which do you think is going to get my money if I'm equally interested? the LOTR 85 or the Driveclub 74? -- I already have a bazillion racing games. On handheld, console, and PC, for me to pay for Driveclub means it has to be amazing.

True.
Well I don't use graphics to judge how fun a game is anyway.

Agreed, but just saying it's got nothing to it makes no sense.

Anyone know how many tracks/cars in ps plus version?
For being a game where hands-on is the most likely way to draw in new audiences, having an unannounced delay on the PS+ version is a rough way to launch. Particularly in a situation where the review embargo was seen with good-will because everyone would be able to play it without paying out-of-pocket at the same time it was up for sale.
I had expected this would be available by the time I got back from work. That's a mild annoyance for me :S

Maybe the word "nothing" isn't a descriptor. I can't articulate it well but it doesn't look fun to me.
Other people seem to be having fun with it though.

this seems to be a universal character trait of video game journalists. it's amazing some of the information they are unaware of that is just a click away. i recall a couple of IGN guys thinking that the PSTV was a device that hooks up to your TV but requires the vita to be used as a controller. The thing has been out for nearly a year in japan. you're a video game journalist discussing this piece of hardware on a video game podcast that hundreds of thousands of people are listening to, and you don't even bother to know what the thing is before discussing it? it's baffling
