Looks like Boz was right :p

To be fair, he wasn't far off the mark, and certainly closer to the real date than the rest of the GH crowd over the years. Either way, this release will be remembered for being a shambles.

And nobody will take the GT6 release date seriously either, leading to another date shamble. ;)

Ugh, I was just reading that you can't even change the wheels on the 800 standard cars :(

It will be remembered as a landmark racing sim actually ;)

Release. Not game.

Meh, who cares about the release now that it's 11 days away.

If anyone is still upset about waiting 5 years, here's an apology for you to feel better

"Gran Turismo 5 is an ambitious project, with challenges and complexities which have made it our version of the Apollo Space Programme!" commented Kazunori Yamauchi, President of Polyphony Digital Inc. "When we created the original Gran Turismo back in 1997, we wanted to set a completely new precedent for the racing genre. With the technological leap onto PlayStation 3, our objective with GT5 was to create another great revolution which would not only satisfy our own high expectations, but would meet or even exceed the anticipation of the fans. Satisfying the loyal Gran Turismo followers is at the heart of all of our efforts, which is why it was such a difficult decision to delay the release of the game, and one which we did not take lightly. I can only apologise to everyone for making you wait so long, and I hope that when you try out the wealth of driving experiences available in Gran Turismo 5, you will not be disappointed."

Oh come on AB... you know as well as anyone else that they will still find a way to throw a backward spin on it (apology or not).

Many hours are about to be wasted away in front of this game. So excited. :woot:

Like it or lump it, people will remember. Just like the 360 will be remembered for RRoD, PS3 for $700, PS2 for Disc read error, Wii for waggle, GC for being kiddy etc etc etc.

Or Haze, Orange Box, Lair etc being awful.

I didn't say it'll detract from being a good game. I'll call it now and I bet the first paragraph from the majority of reviews will start with the delays/dev time.

Not much into racing games, but this seems like a must buy.

All the videos lately have looked amazing. I love how they got the mist from the tires in rain to actually blow the same way the wind is, and just how everything looks with the weather.

Looks like I have to either figure out how to get the Microsoft FF wheel I have to work on the ps3, or buy a FF wheel very soon lol.

Most likely saying the dev time was a good thing given the scope and end product.

And the ps3 was $599 ;)

I know this is going to be the game of the year. :blush:

[rajputwarrior]

^maybe, IMO nothing has really given mass effect 2 a run for it's money yet this year.

i honestly don't remeber the last collectors edition of a game i got, unreal tournament 3 maybe? (definitely not worth it, that game was sooo disappointing). This one alone for the model of my dream car (new skyline/gt-r) is enough for me to spend the extra 40 bucks.

Where can you get the CE in Canada? Ebgames is garbage I hate buying anything from them...

sorry bud, i hate them with a passion too, but they are the only ones i could find that had it. One location in my town was sold out of them, the other wasn't, so be quick!

...and continue with how it was all worth it. ;)

honestly, right now if this game doesn't get over 9.5 across the board the game failed.

I hope it gets 9.4 now just so you have to say its failed.

oh i'll be screaming it... you end up preordering the sig edition?

[Razorwing]

What a STIG edition? O_O :laugh: j/ks.

[rajputwarrior]

when i talked to the guys at EB, they said a CRAP LOAD of people cancelled their GT pre-orders after the last failed release attempt in the name of black ops. the delay definitely made them take a nice early sales hit.

There's a certain irony in there somewhere. :p

[AbandonedTrolley]

Ordered and paid for! :D

[Razorwing]
