official Gran Turismo 5

Agreed. But maybe there is something we don't know yet.

Good point. Maybe not every track has the option to race in the rain or the snow.

[Aaron Olive]

Great find Killa. Thanks! This actually confirms what I had mentioned before about the number tracks. Looks like they are counting reverse/sections/weather versions of tracks. Still looks amazing though.

Not all tracks are unlocked yet as it's missing a couple of track variations.

Yep, it says on the article:

NOTE: This does not appear to be all of the tracks in the game -- only circuits which are initially available in ?practice mode? as you start out. Several important, confirmed circuits are missing, such as the Nurburgring Nordschleife and the Top Gear Test Track.

Much respect to PD in many ways but they sure know how to pick rubbish music.

[Tech Star]

Too many leaks, there will be a delay!

WTF is that intro all about? i was expecting some thing better.

The current rumor is November 27th!

Really? EB Games here (Australia) is listing December 31st :/ but maybe that's a generic place holder date I dunno. However, even if Sony confirm Nov 27th is the date I still think we won't see it till March '11 though, as I have no faith in Sony delivering this game in time for Christmas....

GT5 Intro

Okay I understand they where trying to show "what it takes to build a car"

But that music.. that music , I couldn't even sit through it. I hope the composer did a better job in game because that was horrible.

That intro is truly woeful. How boring!

And whats PD's (or anyone's for that matter) attraction to Nascar? Surely it has no place in a real driving game.

What's with the fail driving, lol.

[SnowRanger13]

Pulling the G25 Logitech wheel out of storage... hopefully it's not much longer...

[rajputwarrior]

i agree with everyone else, intro video = garbage

Your move Turn10

Release must be close now surely.....

[Fish]

Do you think they'll just ship it, without any announcement? You know, surprise everyone, catch us off guard. Or announce it the day before?

[HawkMan]

What's with the fail driving, lol.

never mind the driving he was just showing off the head tracking. but I really hope you can adjust the zoom level of that camera, why would anyone want 60% of the screen to be car interior. from normal gamign distance your screen is already significantly smaller than an actual car windscreen. are you supposed to sit there squinting trying to make out the road...

Same with most cockpit views :( They normally have a bonnet cam though which is better if you want to see more of the road.

I suspect they are waiting for the production of the BR to be complete and shipped to the relevant countries. This way, once they are in distribution centres Sony can confirm a release date that they can hold too. My sumple thoughts are that they don't want any more hic-ups for the release and are making sure they can commit to a release date.

We know the BR are in production, we now have leaked copies. I guess there will be an announcement next week.

I think they're shipping them everywhere first then they'll announce a date like a week before.

Why? So that game journalists don't put the new release date in doubt after all the delays. You can't really run a headline with a question mark after the games in stores everywhere :p

Of course forums like this will be full of the on my doorstep or 2011, but it's the press that matters most.

November 27th is my bet.

Why would it launch on a Saturday?

26th is my birthday, so could be a belated present!

[MightyJordan]

I reckon AB's pretty close, but it'll probably be the 26th, thanks to two words: Black Friday.

For those who don't know, Black Friday is the first Friday after Thanksgiving in America, and it signals the start of the Christmas shopping season. It's also when almost every retailer goes nuts with deals.

Sony would be onto a winner in America if they released it during the Black Friday weekend.
