GT5 delayed because of XMB OS security breach

[The Gunslinger]

That doesn't make it right. If it were not for pirates, we wouldn't need security like this. I blame those that steal, not Sony.

Lets see...A game this big will most likely be pirated within a few days of launch anyway. So who actually loses out? The pirates? Nope, its all those people that pre-ordered the game and now have to wait 3 more weeks.

[HighwayGlider]

Lol... all these delays for nothing. The thing will get pirated anyways, and those who wanted to buy it will buy it as well.?

[rajputwarrior]

But I'm poor just now :( ?10 will buy you a few pints!

says the man buying the sig edition ;)

I'm waiting for GT5 to get hacked on day 1 (it will, you can't stop the hackers) and Sony are going to be so red faced for delaying the game, to prevent piracy, and have it pirated anyway! :p

Well unless they have come up with something new, that isn't going to happen on day 1 seeing as they haven't, from my knowledge, worked past the firmware lock for games with the new Frimware, like MoH.

Well maybe not day 1 (that was probally a slight exaggeration(!) ), but it will be hacked. Also now with the delay and games like MoH that use it are out, hackers have more time to figure out how to break it. I get why they want to make the game as hacker proof as possible, just seems pointless to me ****ing off fans world wide just to make sure people actually buy the game....I mean don't the pre-orders speak for themselves? I dunno, I'm getting pretty jaded over this whole "piracy war" developers are waging these days......take what I say with a grain of salt.

It's only been a week and PS3JB development so far has been very fast.

I wouldn't be surprised if they worked out how to circumvent it by the launch.

[Richard Hammond]

Im hoping so, teach them for keep moving the goalposts every time i pre-order it and pay for it in advance.

The first few weeks are all that matters, game sales are always highly front loaded.

Teach them what? That Richard Hammond gets annoyed at paying for his pre-orders?

[Richard Hammond]

No im just annoyed its taken this long, i put the money down on a pre-order and they go and and delay it some more, i bought it on shopto.net and they dont give you money for refunds they only give you credit, one of my PS3s is JB so im gonna steal this game and i hope others do too.

[Neowinian]

Pirates ruin it for everyone yet again.

To be fair they have had a lot of time to work on this game so to me this just seems to be another rubbish excuse. The game will be hackable anyway, because nothing is unhackable.

[Richard Hammond]

Exactly they are just bullcrapping and using it as an excuse, 3.42 isnt cracked and they could have easily updated to that if 3.50SDK wasnt ready.

[Hedon]

Well stated guys.

ShopTo don't charge for pre-orders until they ship

And yeah cool, go steal the game because you have to wait a few more weeks

The game was made on 3.41, would still of been recalled/delayed going to 3.42.

[Richard Hammond]

ShopTo don't charge for pre-orders until they ship

They do if you click pre-pay once you have preordered a game.

And yeah cool, go steal the game because you have to wait a few more weeks

More than a few weeks, they said they were announcing release date 7-14 days after black friday in the US which is Nov 26th so its going to be approx 2 months at least before its in the shops.......

Why would you click pre-pay? (just interested).

Also that's fair enough if that's your estimate but if you now plan on JB and pirating instead how long do you think you'll be waiting, if ironically waiting is indeed the issue you're annoyed at?

[Corris Veteran]

Yea it boggles my mind that just because a game doesn't come out when somebody wants it that it's some how cool to then pirate it, incredibly lame excuse, lol.

Let's get the rampant rumours on the go that will give the GT5 fans nightmares for a few weeks

local distributor here ( www.cdmarket.com.ar ) has just confirmed that November 30th is the release date in the US, here in Argentina, we'll be playing aprox on December 7th.

The data was collected an hour ago from the distro at US, hope they keep it as it is

Thanks to cdmarket.com.ar's Fatez in Argentina.

[WastedJoker]

Yeah, blame the hackers rather than poor planning :/

[rajputwarrior]

people just need to realize that this game is a lie, it doesn't exist.

[MindTrickz]

Give me a break. You most likely did not pre-order this, but is just upset that Sony delayed this game to bundled the jail-break killer firmware into it. You are leech, and have no right to complain especially after admitting to piracy and not supporting the developers. If that is not the worst rationalization of piracy then I do not know what.

The irony is that you are supposedly upset at this delay, but it would never have happened if not for people like you.

sure bud, believe that's the reason it got delayed :rolleyes:

[Boz]

The problem arose when SCE mandated SDK 350 on all games releasing after after October, GT5 was about to go gold running on SDK 341, but it has been delayed by around a week so that they can update to SDK 350. This has caused a big headache for the manufacturing side, given how big this game is missing the gold date by even a week can cause a months worth of delay as slots are already taken up at this time of year for Blu-ray movies and such.

Hahaha.. I read this as.. excuse, lies and then a preparation of how they will defend the fact that GT5 will be delayed for another few months. It's so obvious.

Next announcement will be "Oh crap, we did miss the deadline and the replication factories are all packed with Blu-rays, so we'll have to release GT5 in march 2011"... Just watch :)

they got scared of CoD, called it!

[x9248]

I don't blame them at all if this is the real reason for the delay. Sorry leechers :p

MoH still isn't workable and it requires 3.42 I think, good luck getting this one cracked day 1.
