"It has taken longer than, I think, most people would have expected," says was recently scrutinized after Sony officially announced the details of the package, with many fans feeling that they'd been misled. "I think I said a few cars were going to be excluded from the game and that was interpreted as, you know, that one or two might be removed," says Rustchynsky. "In fact we didn't go into specifics because we weren't talking about it there and then, so we just used a vague term and, yeah, people have kind of looked back... but we never specified anything. You've got to be really careful what you say because it can come back to bite you." My concerns aside, the new and improved Driveclub left me with a very positive first impression--I'm far more excited for the game now than I was a few months ago. It might have taken a year longer than planned, but Driveclub appears to be shaping up nicely.

But every game needs to be a success. We've got the backing of Sony, though, which is fantastic." "I'm more than confident that we can deliver more great experiences with it in the future as well. I think Driveclub is going to be a big success, because PlayStation 4 owners in particular are craving for the next racing experience." Driveclub will be released for PlayStation 4 on October 7.

Decision to delay was "unexpected", Evolution says.
"We've never been late before, we've never had to delay a game before, we've always delivered," Barlow told us, looking back over the struggles Evolution has faced with the game over the last 12 months. "And really, that was the reason why we delayed it because we've got this reputation to uphold.
"We've got our own pride in this experience, we believe in this title and we don't want to deliver something that's half-finished. We could have delivered it; it was a good game at the launch of PS4. It probably would have sold pretty well, people would have had a good time, but I...
