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?

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.

    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off by Ivan Jenic The Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system is currently $239.99 on Amazon for the 2-pack, down from $329.99. That's 27% off and $90 saved for a solid Wi-Fi solution that covers your entire home (purchase link down below). The 2-pack covers up to 4,000 square feet (372 square meters) and supports 100+ connected devices, which handles the vast majority of home setups without breaking a sweat. Wi-Fi 6E brings access to the 6 GHz band for lower latency across the network, and the 2.5 Gb Ethernet port supports gigabit+ internet plans if your ISP offers them. eero's TrueMesh technology handles traffic routing automatically, so you're not manually managing which devices connect to which node. You set up the entire thing through the eero app, and the entire process takes a few minutes. The system also receives automatic security updates in the background, so once you set it up, you don't have to worry about compatibility issues. If you're covering a larger home or want more nodes, the 3-pack is $329.99 and the 4-pack is $479.98, both at similar discount levels. It's worth mentioning that a newer model exists, which is likely the reason for the discount, but the Pro 6E is still perfectly capable hardware for most homes.

    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI by David Uzondu The Ladybird Browser Project has announced it will no longer accept public pull requests and will limit changes to those made by its maintainers as it works towards its first alpha release. According to Ladybird's creator Andreas Kling, this is "not a change we make lightly," but the rapid shift in AI capabilities forced their hand. Previously, a massive PR implied that the person behind it put a lot of care into the code and is ready to "answer for the consequences." Now with AI, anyone can generate a PR without even understanding the bug fix or feature they want merged. The blog post goes on to say that the team is closing all open public pull requests immediately, and that maintainers will not treat external forks as a review queue for upstream Ladybird. Instead, the team wants outside contributors to focus on reporting bugs and running tests. Kling started Ladybird back in 2019 as LibHTML, a simple HTML viewer for his hobby operating system, SerenityOS, but by September 2022, it had turned into a full-fledged browser project. What sets Ladybird apart from the likes of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox is its totally independent engine, which does not rely on pre-existing codebases. The project maintains a strict policy against default search engine deals or user data monetization, keeping development funded entirely by donations and sponsorships. Generative AI is forcing open source project maintainers to rethink how they handle public code contributions (and the whole open-source thing in general). One month ago, a leak about the National Health Service (NHS) suggested the organization was planning to take all of its public repositories private ahead of a May 11 deadline, thanks to Mythos (an AI model that Anthropic believes is too dangerous to be released to the public) and its ability to find and write exploits for zero-day vulnerabilities. Thankfully, the Government Digital Service (GDS) issued a counter-report titled "AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector" that stopped the shutdown by pointing out that hiding code does not improve security.
