My guess is the features that they need to polish up (and thus the delay) are some that they want the consumer to be surprised by when the play the game so they don't want to ruin the surprise.

yeah, that interview gave a whole lot of nothing... I mean really...

OS: It seems a lot of gamers are open to a company delaying a game for the purpose of quality. What were some of the issues that caused said delay?

GB: It’s a pretty big deal to delay any game, but I think gamers realize that when studios rush out a game to a deadline it generally doesn’t meet their expectations. So it was a no-brainer for us. We wanted the game to look as good as possible and felt the short delay would make sure we hit our level of standards.


nothing like really pushing hard for thoes answers OS :P

I'm 100% fully behind their decision to delay the game. Give us a quality product and you will have my money year after year.

Since they're delaying the game hopefully they'll get the new points system in, though I doubt it will happen.

I will ask tomorrow, and get back to you on this James!

Ok...talked to the guys about the new point system. We should know if they can get in the game by hopefully the end of next week.

I will keep you guys posted!

This. Never in all of my gaming have I been so pumped up for a game only to be let down so massively. F1 was a mess. Gorgeous mess but a mess nonetheless. By the time the bugs were worked out (and not all of them were worked out) I already moved on. I won't be buying F12011 until I know it's working correctly.
