I just think that its really sad of PD to be reading these forums (which we are told they do) and yet they still do nothing. On gametrailers.com they have a teaser video of Call of Duty Modern Warefare Two with an exact date of release in September 09 - does this hurt Activision/infinity Ward (whow evers making it nowadays) ? I think not.

PD should learn from other software houses that it's good business to commincate with your fanbase.

I was just about to say that they should fire their PR /marketing person but remembered they where advertising for this postion recently - well there you go there's our answer they have no PR/marketing person - no wonder were getting diddly squat!!!

First day memo to whoever gets the marketing job.

1. Reward loyal customers with information.
2. Sit back and watch sales of exiisting game (prologue) and final relase dramtically increase.

In fairness PD have given us Prologue, at a cost, which shows us way more about GT5 than any teaser video could have. And Infinity Ward can annouce a date like that, November 10th btw not September, because they have a much more production based developement model, were they decide that this is the date, and then aim for it with the attitude of get as much done by then but once we reach then its done. Whereas PD seem to set themselves development goals rather than release dates, where they say reach a certain number of cars, or a good stage in crash damage simulation and then announce a release date as the put final touches to the game.

They could show us teaser of pictures of cars or tracks before then, but I think they're current strategy is much better, rather than continuously drip feed us content that we may become immune to, they release bursts of information at once just before release, which most of the time completely overwhelm us, and quite often leads us to be there picking up our copies on the release day.

WTF?

The next announcement will be related to Home I'm sure.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm interested in the game and none of the above.

Seems like theyre busy with other things... I think everyone does tend to forget that this is a Japanese based company and work ethics and business cycles in the Far East are TOTALLY different from what westerners consider normal... I believe thats the reason why we havent heard squat about GT5 lately... they must not feel obligated to do so... now this could be arrogance as in, "Oh the people will buy it anyway... its Gran Turismo" OR it could really have to do with the way they handle business over there..... It still remains a mystery however... and honestly Ive stopped worrying about it all and Im just going to sit back and wait... while Im waiting I will check out a game here and there. When it DOES come out I think I can just sell all my other games because most likely that will be the only game I play for the coming years 👍 :D

Excellent post, GT4 genius 👍 I think you are bang on the money with that assessment... I almost feel stupid for not having realised this before, but PD really don't do release date targets - heck, they're lucky if they can even get the year right in their release date estimates!... but as you allude to, this is probably why GT games are so good, because they afford themselves the luxury of having a "it will be out when it is ready" mentality.
 
They didn't GIVE us prologue, they released a demo of a full game, at a bit more than HALF the price of a regular game, and have patched it three times. If not releasing Prologue meant the game could come out sooner I'd never have wanted Prologue in the first place. I'm sick of this crap PD, get the game out already.
 
When car manufactures start using elements or and skills from game designers to build real cars. That should say a lot for the GT series. Do not believe that I have heard of any other game companies demo's etc. actually used as promotional items for car manufactures. As bad as we want information and as bad as we need it. I am sure that the GT team our doing things right. They have no reason to lay their cards on the table especially in regards to damage, car line ups, new tracks etc. A revamped GT4 with online and 16 car fields with a basic livery editor would still easily be ahead of the competition. I just hope that when they do complete / finish the core of GT5 that their is enough user options to maximize the games potentional, Especially with online races, arcade races etc. Also they should pay tribute to the die hard fans who love to compare lap times and all sorts of stats on the game or collect cars and provide better tools and or methods to exploit the madness of the game users.

I got inspired:

GT5 is da *hit
when you're looking for a bit
of decent racing action on your couch.

Hopefully PD's done good
and get's us all in better mood
with annoucning release date soon.

--
Hopefully my driving skills are better :D
 
I'll have a go then

We all think GT's really hot
but since prologue we've had diddly squat.

People say it's gonna be good and it's good to wait,
But the majority think 'your having a laught mate'.

PD defo deserve the biggest gong,
for making a game that takes so long,

We all think PD are 'dissing me?'
So off we go buy Forza 3

oh don't be silly, GT5 will be out soon,
If you beleive that then youre a baffoon,

PD don't communicate with us one bit,
in fact they treat us like ....

;o)
 
PD, just do ya thang
don't worry 'bout tha Forza gang
GT 5's gonna be bang

they know it
GT's a hit
I know it
by the smell of my armpit(?!)

bizzare lyrics, that's my style
Nike Hyperdunk, jump over a human pile

I smell some bad rhymes
like these "recession" times
I better be goin' outta here
before I get killed by a deer.

MC Maky OUT!

P.S. Sorry for the "gang slang".
 
Does anyone really think a recession stops rich people from making more money? If the release it people will buy it, eventually.

My my, i hope PD is reading this forum and looking at what its fans are up to after so long with NO news at all. Serious boredom is kicking in. I never post, i just read, but i had to out of fustration. You have to wonder that it may be close to going gold due to the absolute lack of feedback from PD.
Hope so...lol. March 31st sony has a huge announcement to make. Cant help but wonder if it is GT related. Fingers crossed.......
 
If PD is reading this forum, I want a car named after me.


Seriously, some news would be nice. And by news, I mean something with substance, not "something is happening, but not gonna tell you what" crap.




Roses are red,

Waiting for GT5 to come out sucks.

The End.

Not if they buy it used off ebay. I plan on doing this just so PD won't get my money for leaving us in the dark so long......okay maybe not, but still It's possible.

PD SUCKS when it comes to PR. The only updates we get are updates about what the updates are for online events... At least gives us something to get excited about. Having owned all the cars and maxed out on cash for a while now has taken some of the excitement out of GT5... I can't really blame them for waiting till the game is ready to release it, all though I think a late 2009/2010 release date is rediculous, they are really dropping the ball when it comes to creating excitement for their game. I've all but given up on GT5. I'm looking forward to Forza 3 more than anything right now because I have no reason to have any faith at all in even a 2010 release of GT5...
 
I did read a list of cars unofficially on GT5 today, and i was drooling, and thinking... Why nothing in betweew F2007 and tuned street cars? i.e. mazda 787 or that badbutt bentley...

You are correct in all that you said pal. Getting no news at all its real sad. There are tons of people wanting to know the future of Gran Turismo.
I´m starting to believe GT5 is only a dream.

Maybe thats their plan....GT5 IS a dream. It's not real. Kind of like the "Patriots" in Metal Gear Solid 3
 
What about this - "The day of the Fiest is also know even today" - Amar

As far as Im aware, fiest is not even a word. If its supposed to be feast? Could that be then that GT5 will be released on Thanksgiving Day 09?
 
NLxAROSA
Whenever PD releases it; that day will be called 'thanksgiving day' from then on. ;)

Why not make it "Gran Turismo day" the world seems to have a day for just about everything else, so Gran Turismo needs one.:sly:
