I don’t know what’s going on here but Slighty Mad Studios and Bandai-Namco seem pretty hell bent on either making Project Cars the best racer you’ve ever played or the racing you simply don’t care about any more. Yep, it’s delayed again. This time until May 2015. That’s what, 3 times now that this game has been delayed?
My only problem is that they aren’t telling us why it’s delayed, well other than the same canned response that we got the last 2 times.
Slightly Mad Studios and BANDAI NAMCO Games America Inc. today announced that Project CARS will be available for PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One®, all-in-one, games and entertainment system from Microsoft, and PC mid-May 2015. The release date shift is due to the team’s continued dedication to polishing the game.
Despite our long heritage and pedigree in making critically-acclaimed racing games, Project CARS is by far the grandest and most intricately detailed of them all. Despite therefore the game being 99.9% complete, the remaining 0.1% attending to small issues and bugs has been tricky to anticipate. We’re absolutely dedicated to delivering a ground-breaking experience and by targeting mid-May fans can be assured that’s what they’ll receive” said Ian Bell, Head of Studio at Slightly Mad Studios. “Again, we want to thank our fans for their support and patience on this matter. There’s a high expectancy from racing fans around the world that Project CARS is going to be an exciting new contender in the simulation racing space and we firmly believe gamers deserve it to be in its most complete and polished state when they come to play it on day one. And since the gaming community is our primary focus and has always been at the heart of the project during development, we would like to offer some free content to all players as compensation for this short delay and as acknowledgement of how grateful we are. This gift, that we’re sure is going to excite fans, will be available from day one and revealed shortly. Keep an eye on our website for more info.
So it’s mid-May 2015, hopefully it doesn’t move again… but I’m pretty sure I said that the last 2 times as well. Project Cars was originally set for a November 2014 launch but was then delayed until March 2015, and then April 2015 and now…. May 2015.
