According to a post David Jaffe left on the NeoGAF forums the title has been delayed for an unspecified time.
"Hey guys...Sony was kinda annoyed that I claimed 5/3 as release date as it was never official. The game got kicked out of format as two very key bugs were found at the last second. Fixing those allowed us time to go back in and fix the issue (or what we think is the issue) that IGN had with the magnet. We are back in format q/a at the moment and we'd all be stunned if it did not sail thru...but we've learned to keep our mouths shut on it so as to not get people's hopes up and then let them down. The two big bugs tho- so you realize we didn't hold it up for no reason- were:
a- About 30% of the time if the host of a network game quit to the XMB or powered off his PS3, the other folks in the game would experience a hang/crash when going back to the game lobby. This was way too frequent for a crash bug and we wanted it fixed.
b- If players were doing voice chat and one player unplugged his head set and quit out of the game, when he tried to jump into a new game, about 50% of the time the player would be able to play the game but no one could hear him over voice chat.
I hope you will agree these bugs were worth ironing out. Granted, they should have been bugs that were squashed 2 months ago, but for whatever reason, they were not. So we had to do it now.
I was trying to find a way to make it up to those who care about our game and I think what we are going to do is like the first 50 or so people who find me online and can beat me, get a free CALLING ALL CARS bobble head figure. Is that lame? Not sure. But we'll prob. do it. Cause we really do feel really, really bad.
Sorry.
David"

Some of these digi titles need to be converted to run on ps5 games like the last guy will be gone now
In bad 720p streaming quality + we don't know how long Sony will allow PS3 titles on PSNow.
After all (and as far as it is known) they still use PS3 hardware for PS3 games. I really hope they use an emulator nowadays, but I don't think so.
Mulando don't know if you've used Now but games like that run fantastic lol. Playing Locoroco remastered looks damn near exactly the same as downloading. I know because I've played on my PC streamed plenty of times and you don't get a single artifact or feel delay. It really just depends on the title. Those ones are fine
Or...he's correct. They have telemetry, they can see how often people play old games. You people need to understand that if you go on N4G, reddit, FB groups, etc. to talk about games or keep up with games, then you are the hardcore of the hardcore and you makeup a tiny, TINY portion of the gaming public.
None of that is to say that I agree with taking down the stores or support Sony not doing BC for PS1-3.
But N4G PS gamers says people don't...only new exclusives matter
I really wish we got a Tokyo Jungle sequel with a bit more budget to it. That game was so unique.
The Steam Sale may have been the hot topic this past week, but it’s not the only place to go for some sweet deals on some great games. The PlayStation Network has its fair share of bargains too. The recent PSN Store update for America may have been a bit lackluster on new content, but the discounts are worth checking out.
Our full PlayStation Store Global Update will be going live very soon, but before that happens, we noticed that a bunch of different games have been discounted on the PSN starting today. - PSLS
Aww hell yeah!! I was planning on P3P for full price but I getting on this right NAOOO!
Bought persona 4 golden 2 weeks ago for 30 bucks from the store, it's worth 60 easily, so this is a steal.
Persona!! Gotta get digital P4G it has to stay very close! I'm not selling it! ^~^
Until I see it on his blog I call lies and fraud
well that sucks if it is true
He is the type of guy to put it off if it isn't done just right.
I find no fault with that.
I find fault with putting a crap game out before its ready just to make money. Let’s face the facts, any game this guy puts out at this time will make a killing. If this is true then he really does care about putting a great product out instead of a mediocre game just to make a quick buck.
I wish more guys in the business were like him.
How can a downloadable game go gold?
Well, it's great that he's willing to fix the problems, but if it's true, it sucks for people waiting for the game. He could've just patched it afterwards.
