12 Most Disastrously Disappointing Video Game Launches In History

5. Driveclub

Remember Driveclub? If you do, those memories are probably focused around its godawful launch window, as oppose to weighty gameplay and incredible weather effects.

Alas, developers Evolution Studios attempted to roll it out in 2014, touting Driveclub as an 'always-connected' experience featuring communities, leaderboards - you know how it goes.

Naturally, with so much server strain across the globe, it tanked, but the strange part was Evolution simply didn't know why - only managing to state that the game was very ambitious, and the resulting fallout "certainly wasn’t any ill-intention on behalf of the team".

The pre-announced PS Plus version was delayed for months until Evolution were "comfortable", and PlayStation UK boss, Fergal Gara said he and the team were "embarrassed" by everything that had occurred.

The final straw was Sony shutting down Evolution altogether (you can draw your own conclusions as to why), but thankfully they were picked up by Codemasters in April 2016, so greener pastures should eventually be around the corner.
