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. thumbs_up.gif

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 laugh.gif

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 laugh.gif

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.

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.

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+.

Title / Units (K)*

----------------------------------------

Gran Turismo = 10,850

Gran Turismo 2 = 9,370

Gran Turismo 3 A-spec = 14,890

Gran Turismo Concept Series = 1,560

Gran Turismo 4 ?Prologue? = 1,400

Gran Turismo 4 = 11,060

Gran Turismo 5 ?Prologue? = 4,950

Gran Turismo PSP = 1,960

Total = 56,040

According to polyphony.co.jp

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.

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:

gthd5_qjpreviewth.jpg

Now this:

Eph5m3wkNfRSWNw.jpg

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.

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

is it wrong that i want to have relations with the GTR?

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

7amFeHDhIqs72nb.jpg

Probably not, but some will see us as weird.

There are a ton of new pics on various Chinese gaming site now 'cause the Chinese version of GT5 just got announced. I picked a few different ones and post them here.

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
    • Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 by Razvan Serea Microsoft Edge is a super fast and secure web browser from Microsoft. It works on almost any device, including PCs, iPhones and Androids. It keeps you safe online, protects your privacy, and lets you browse the web quickly. You can even use it on all your devices and keep your browsing history and favorites synced up. Built on the same technology as Chrome, Microsoft Edge has additional built-in features like Startup boost and Sleeping tabs, which boost your browsing experience with world class performance and speed that are optimized to work best with Windows. Microsoft Edge security and privacy features such as Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, Password Monitor, InPrivate search, and Kids Mode help keep you and your loved ones protected and secure online. Microsoft Edge has features to keep both you and your family protected. Enable content filters and access activity reports with your Microsoft Family Safety account and experience a kid-friendly web with Kids Mode. The new Microsoft Edge is now compatible with your favorite extensions, so it’s easy to personalize your browsing experience. Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 changelog: Migration to improved V2 architecture for Workspaces. Workspaces, introduced in Edge in 2022, allows users to create durable sets of tabs that can be saved and shared with others. In order to improve reliability and performance of this feature, the following changes are being made: Migrating data for saved Workspaces from OneDrive/SharePoint to Edge Sync service Removing the collaboration/share functionality of this feature For organizations who have disabled Sync through policy, the existing v1 Workspace data will still be migrated to the new architecture. New v2 Workspaces created after migration won't sync across devices and will remain local to each device. This update occurs on a progressive rollout beginning in Edge Stable v145 and will continue rolling out in Edge v149. For more information, see Getting started with Microsoft Edge Workspaces. Feature Updates Passkey Sync for Enterprise Users. Microsoft Edge is introducing support for passkey synchronization for enterprise users, enabling secure, passwordless authentication across devices. Passkeys created in Edge can now be synced seamlessly, improving sign-in experience while maintaining strong security standards. Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this change, check back as we continue the rollout. Enterprise WebView2 runtime downgrade via DowngradeVersion policy. Administrators can temporarily roll back specific applications to a previous WebView2 Evergreen Runtime version (N-1 or N-2) using the new DowngradeVersion policy in msedgewebview2.admx. The Downgrade Version policy allows enterprises to mitigate critical regressions by specifying per-application exe-to-version mappings. The Edge Updater installs the target version side-by-side, and the WebView2 Loader redirects targeted apps accordingly. Downgrades auto-expire with each new WebView2 release: apps pinned to N-1 remain on the same version (now becoming N-2) and will auto-update in the next release, while apps pinned to N-2 will revert to the current Evergreen version. The policy applies only to enterprise-managed devices (domain-joined or MDM-enrolled). For more information, see Microsoft Edge WebView2 Policy Documentation | Microsoft Learn. Collections retirement. Collections has been removed in this update. Users can no longer access or use the feature. To keep saved content, users can export it, or move all pages to Favorites before updating to Microsoft Edge Stable 149. For more information, see Organize your ideas with Collections in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Support. Modern, unified, and updated Look and Feel. Microsoft Edge has updated the Look and Feel to give customers a unified experience across all of Microsoft AI surfaces including Copilot and Bing. This changes multiple elements of the UX such as spacing, corners, fonts, default colors, etc. Clarify choices surrounding third-party cookie settings. Language under Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies are clarified to better describe the choices users have in managing third-party cookies. Custom primary password retirement. Users are no longer able to create a new custom primary password in Edge Settings edge://settings/autofill/passwords/settings. Any users who are still using a custom primary password will be automatically migrated to device authentication. Additionally, the PrimaryPasswordSetting policy will no longer support the WithCustomPrimaryPassword option. For more information, see Keep your saved passwords private in Microsoft Edge | Microsoft Support. Unifying Copilot Chat policy controls. The Microsoft365CopilotChatIconEnabled policy is the standard for configuring Copilot Chat. Previously, this behavior was controlled by blocking the Copilot extension, either explicitly or by using the * wildcard via the ExtensionSettings or ExtensionInstallBlockList policies. Extension and sidebar policies no longer affect the appearance or functionality of Copilot Chat. Copilot address bar suggestions were also tied to extension policy settings. Starting in Microsoft Edge version 149, admins can use the CopilotAddressBarSuggestionsEnabled policy to manage this behavior. Intune MAM Protected Downloads. The protected downloads feature for Intune MAM is now available for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) devices, which aren't managed by a tenant.
