official Gran Turismo 5

[Hedon]

Just like they said it would be released in 2007, oh wait!

Just like they said it would be released in 2009, oh wait!

Just like...yeah you get the idea. Don't take anything they say as a guarantee, cause quite frankly their track record is **** and their word meaningless.

Indeed.

Oh lordy, im going to have some fun trolling my mates tomorrow at work :laugh:

We'll find out exactly how long a "little longer" is very soon.

It's sounding good. :)

NOT EXCUSABLE, PS3 STILL BEING SOLD, PD SUCKS, SONY LIES, GAME WILL BOMB, ILL BUY IT SECOND HAND IN 6 MONTHS TIME

[Hellacool]

Im with many, I will now wait until I can get a used copy, I will not give them my money. If Poly was not owned by Sony it would have gone out of business a long time ago, you can not do stuff like this in the real world when your existence relies on game sales.

Have you ever looked at GT sales? They make tons of money, Prologue itself sold over 4 million copies, so no they really are nowhere near going out of business

Seems like developers can't win these days. If they hold a game back to fix bugs and improve it they get slated, and if they release the game as fast as possible and full of bugs (ie: F1 2010 and most other games) they also get slated. Providing when it is released it has as few bugs as possible and as many features as possible, I will be happy.

I was and still am planning on getting it for Christmas.

No, this is not a "let's feel sorry for the developers" situation. A delay is fine and holding back a product to further polish it is fine. But people will get upset when it's in the extremes. Developers are either rushing their games out the door or just taking an EXTREMELY long time to get it out the door. It's not like the golden days where a product would see a one-time delay for a few months and we end up with a solid product.

Especially when it comes to one of the most ambitious racing games ever made. If the delay as it's stated so far ends up a few weeks you can look back at topics like these and see how childish some people really do act.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Yes but it's pretty clear the game is almost complete this time given the media coverage.

And the first time the game was scheduled to be released was 2008, get it right PS3 lover boy ;)

I'm pretty sure at one point it was going to be a launch title.

GT has never been a launch title. First date was 2008

Sorry I was thinking of GT HD. I knew there was something they showed off at E3 2006.

They wont go out of business because Sony keeps them alive. If they were an independent company they wouldn't survive, that's my point. When you do not have the customers to worry about or even selling a game in the last 4 years you can make decisions with no fear or repercussions. Regardless they wont see a penny of my money, I will buy used.

You do that, stick it to the man! :p

Won't matter anyway, the game will most likely sell 10 million+.

According to polyphony.co.jp

[Neo003]

If you count sale to sale ratio with gt4 , gt 5 sale will be over 14 mill :laugh: (just jk btw). GT series has been a really good in it own right, but gt5 being big as it is it's hard to me to fathom what the developers has to go thru to implement the new 3.5 restriction.

Well if the other topic is to be believed they want to have around 7 million copies ready for shipping for a worldwide release - http://www.neowin.ne...ecurity-breach/

That's a headache of an issue repressing all those discs :laugh: Sucks to be Sony right now, however as I said in there developers/publishers will do anything to help curve day 1 piracy, even if that means stirring up the hornets nests which are online gaming forums. If the game is AAA I'm sure they're happy to put up with a few extra weeks of bitching if week 1 sales are going to be in the 7 million bracket.

[Neo003]

I've been around PS just before GT 4 release, and I wan't much fan of old graphics. Although it's not a day 1 purchase for me, I'm planning to buy this game after few weeks (if I can wait that long).

New Trailer

More Info

Possibly, we'll be really in the game. Anyone remembers 2006 GTHD project that was canned? Here is one very old promo-screen where rally driver is actually walking around the car. Surprises are apparently awaiting:

Now this:

Screen above says we'll be able to change the clothes (remember Tourist Trophy? Now we see the guy walking around in civil clothes in the new trailer and if you remember on of the first screens form Nurburgring, there was a guy driving an SLR in civil clothes with sunglasses on).

Here is the translation:

"First, select a clothing style worn by the driver(A-SPEC DRIVER)

Please note that clothing once selected, can not be changed again" (thanx to Whknky at GTPlanet)

If the photo for the "User" can be replaced with the PSEye snapshot of our beautiful faces, than it is plausible we'll be able to "exist" in the very game (something like Loeb's face exists in his races inside Special Hall).

Sceen above is apparently a real GUI screen for the very beggining of the game - 20,000 credits as a pile for start.

Global servers confirmed (dedicated?) in the article linked below.

And they're mentioning only 20 tracks in the article again. Hm, hm.

Here is the article:

Stealth cars Porn:

Chinese Racing Pack edition also comes with the nice cognac glass

Now first picture of the Course Builder GUI for the actual sectors. Notice the translations for the sliders/sections.

Thanx to Shirakawa Akira and Whknky at GTPlanet for the info and especially Whknky for various translations.

Is it wrong that I want to be wearing a housecoat, smoking a cigar and sipping 40yr old whiskey out of this?

Probably not, but some will see us as weird.

To be honest I don't care how long they take. The quality of this game is going to be worth every single minute that I've waited for it and I know this.
