Don't count on it! The next world cup in aus seems like an ideal time to release the next edition. Really cant see them releasing this edition on nxt gen, or they would surely release it the same time. Don't think xbox one or ps4 will see this until their next edition.

I don't think company can afford to wait 2/3 years to release on next gen, it can't develop the franchise on that basis. In 2-3 years the majority would have moved to next gen so I can see there being a PS4/Xbox One version out within the year ... that will come before a DBC "2"

tbh, what it's beginning to look like is the australian publisher is being given priority, maybe to boost its sales by selling to the UK. they might have deal with tru blu because they work a lot closer selling the AFL titles and all that.

hell, the UK distributor might even be the australian distributor but it doesn't want to commit to a release date because it's serving a market about 4 times larger than it ever has done before.

World Cup in Australia = March 2015, only a year away. It would seem a reasonably close timeframe to be on next-gen and give them a decent amount of time to work on enhancing the game so it's not just a simple port.

I suppose it depends more on what Big Ant's workload is with other games, then it does the 'ideal' timing for getting DBC on PS4/Xbone.

Commercially that would make sense too - You'll have 1 or 2 (hey: maybe even more!) pricedrops by then and the install base would be starting to get to the right sort of level, as well as a big tournament tie-in.

DBC 14 special world cup edition hell yeah.

The worst case scenario seems to be 11th April. Wouldn't it be better if things are left at that? These hourly updates from the retailers' end seem a bit overboard.

...a bit?!!

What do you mean "re-release older versions"? Why would I do that?
