Project Cars Delayed Until 2015

 

Slightly Mad Studios and Bandai Namco have announced today that racing simulator Project Cars will be delayed until March 20th 2015 on PS4, Xbox One and PC. The delay will now give the studio sufficient time to polish and refine Project Cars over the coming months.

Ian Bell, Head of studio at Slightly Mad Studios has said:

Our goal has always been to deliver a landmark title that encompasses the wishes and desires of racing fans from all around the world; something with features and content powered by the community that provide a truly unforgettable and pioneering experience. Whilst a tough decision to make, the change in release date allows the game the greatest chance of success and visibility, and the opportunity to polish the game even further to the high standards that both ourselves and our community demand and expect. We’re eager for you all to see what we’ve been working on in just a few months.

While this excuse isn’t very rare, the need for every new game to look perfect is crucial as the current trend is to judge a game solely on its presentation. In a list of features for the game, Slightly Mad Studios have said that Project Cars will provide the largest track roster of any recent racing game, a huge variety of motorsports to play, a freeform and authentic career mode, world-class graphics and handling, dynamic time of day & weather, and a suite of community features and connectivity. The delay may also give a chance for many players to focus on the hectic fall schedule and focus on Project Cars when there aren’t as many games released.
