Wow after watching the trailer for this game, just wow. I'm kinda angry it's only a Playstation exclusive. Hope Microsoft sees this and does a better job with Forza which is beautiful and great but this just blows it away. The test track from Top gear too, wow.

Forza is about as close as you're going to get. :p

Forza will be getting the TopGear Test Track too (since they have also signed a deal with TopGear) however, no idea when since Polyphony currently have the exclusive rights to it (for how long I don't know). I expect Forza 4 to be a big leap forward, the guys at Turn 10 aren't gonna just sit there and let Polyphony take the crown without a fight, expect big things from Forza 4 is all I'm saying ;) this of cause will be great for us gamers, abit of rivalry between the top games in the genre will only result in better games for us! so bring it on I say :happy:

555,000 Copies of GT5 for France, New Launch Party Date

Gran Turismo 5 November 6th, 2010 by Jordan

I don’t have any specific updates about the GT5 disc revealed yesterday, but that hasn’t stopped quite a few interesting tidbits from bubbling up around the world. First up, word from “distribution sources” indicate more than half a million copies of Gran Turismo 5 are headed to France. More specifically, there will be 400,000 standard copies, 100,000 Collector’s Editions, and 5,000 Signature Editions available in the country. (Amazon.fr is still taking SE reservations, so hop on that if you’re interested.)

Also, GT5’s big Madrid launch party has a new date of November 24th/25th. As you may recall, the launch party was first scheduled for October 26th/27th. Considering the party was to be held exactly one week before the game’s intended worldwide launch, a release during the week of November 29th – December 3rd is beginning to look extremely likely. This release window aligns perfectly with what I’ve been told before and Sony’s own retail outlet, SonyStyle, who lists a launch date “on or around” November 30th for the game. Regardless, it’s becoming clear we don’t have much longer to wait.

Thanks to all who sent these stories in!

Lucky French! looks like they might be getting it soon! however, I'm still expecting March '11 for Australia...due to the immense popularity of this game and with the game only being printed now, I fully expect shortages and regions like Australia will be pushed back to allow the more important regions (i.e. NA, JP and EU) to get their copies first. I hope I'm wrong because I want my copy now!! however, as I said in a previous post a delay will actually work in my favor.

STILL waiting for official announcement from Sony AND when Amazon has the product delivered to my front door from UPS. Until then, negative.

It's not out til it's out :p

Right now, it's not out :p

What they said. I'm still awaiting the announcement from Sony. From all the articles I've read, it's a safe bet that it won't be released until the second week of December, at least.

    • Thanks, Sony and Nintendo, you effectively killed platform-agnostic gaming. Long gone are the days when you could wish to play a specific game on whatever platform you were. Now, you have to buy the hardware just to play that single game. What, you're only interested in THAT game and nothing more? Bad luck, suck it and buy our console.
    • The AI data centers need it more than us so...let them gobble it all up at that price!
    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
