Slightly Mad Studios' hotly anticipated Gran Turismo stopgap Project CARS has been pushed back yet again on the PlayStation 4. The slick looking simulation racer was originally due out in November, but was delayed until March due to a crowded release window and the need to polish up some final problems. However, publisher Bandai Namco has announced today that the title will now hit the retail road on 2nd April in Europe and 7th April in North America.
"Moving the release date was not an easy decision to make, as we know that our fans are eager to get their hands on Project CARS," gaffer Ian Bell said in a statement. "But we know that these extra days will allow us to provide the best game experience that our fans deserve. We assure you that the wait will be worth it when the game does arrive in early April."
To be fair, we're all too eager to moan when a title deploys unfinished, so if these extra days are pivotal to the product's final quality, then it's fair game in our eyes. It's still disappointing, though, of course.

Sounds like they're quivering with nerves after seeing what underestimated driveclub is doing lately..
I don't think Project Cars and Drive Club are even remotely in the same league. I can't wait to play it, already poured hundreds of hours into the alpha, the few extra days won't kill me (I hope)
Will it ever be released?
I'm surprised there are no "why you no release?!" Comments.
It's a good thing, if they don't feel the game is ready, they should hold off.
I hated DriveClub, no true career mode, but I'm more than willing to try this.
@ToOGoodOfAPlaya agree, A proper career mode is a must. Didn't like the driveclub model. That said I've played a bit more dc over the last 2 days and its definitely better now. But yes the career mode isn't engaging at all. Collecting stars?? Its not Mario sunshine.
Hummm what is that I'm smelling...Are you DriveClubing me again developers?
Looking at March's release schedule... good decision. Even if the game was perfect it was going to get buried with some of the high profile stuff set to release.
Oh well at least it's not a very long delay.
It's probably to give them time to get the inevitable 20GB day one patch ready!
Good on them for delaying rather than releasing something broken. Sounds like if they'd released it last year, as planned, it could have turned out to be a real "drive-club-esque" turkey launch.
Funny how they dressed up the earlier delay as a good opportunity to "polish" the product though. Back then it needed polishing - now it needs fixing!?
