Gran Turismo Sport delayed to 2017

...and that is just their Japanese offices. They also have staff in Europe and the US so the total figure could easily be 250 or more. They are a big team now.

Didn't know this. Granted, I'm not following the franchise as closely as I did before GT5, so it's not too surprising.

No side projects to slow them down, no "overly complicated" Cell architecture to deal with, more manpower than ever and GTS is - from what we know - the game with the least amount of content in the franchise (number of cars, tracks, single player, upgrading, you name it).

With all of that gone, what excuse explanation remains?

Gotta look on the bright side, though. Gran Turismo ditching the old formula essentially kills the last remaining bit of my sentimental attachment (which is stupid to have in the first place) to the franchise. Which, in turn, means I won't need to shake my head at PD's "development cycles" and Kaz's "game design" anymore

Funny. Walmart has it up for preorder, says it will ship 12/31/16.
What is going on?

 

[Tornado]

Not a real date.

 

[WhoosierGirl]

Gamestop promotion this weekend.

 

[Samus]

Someone forgot to cross out the old date.

140 super premium cars! Three years of development... I can't imagine they will keep this number in 2017 after Forza 6 and FH3. Knowing 20 of them must be VGTs.

 

[thenardo55]

Ugh, I hope they change the cover.

It's either that or Sony/PD never bothered to tell anybody at Gamestop about the delay.

Maybe the fax hasn't come through yet.

And chances are high that some of them are "duplicates", tuned models of cars that are already in the game. I can't see them failing to count the four versions of Mitsubishi Evo X as four different models, that's like a Polyphony meme by now.

Almost every car has two versions like the Bugatti VGT and the Bugatti VGT group 1, the Tomahawk and the Tomahawk group 1, the MX5 and the racing version...
So we could divide by 2 the number of cars?

Now that a huge car list isn't one of the major selling points for Gran Turismo anymre, PD will surely see no need to continue with the excessive padding of their car list. Right? Right?

How can we live in this information age and shops/staff not check internet articles? Are so many people truly that hopeless at research?

What's that yellow car in the bottom left corner? Looks either like an Aston Martin Vulcan or a Corvette Gr.3.

The yellow one is the Corvette C7 Group 3 and the other is the GT-R Nismo N24

Ok thank you

You forgot to mention that each livery will most likely be counted as a different car.

The release date has been confirmed, and it is not going to be released soon

 

[Orayani]

Might as well said 2018.

I'm pretty sure that's just used as a placeholder until they can get an actual release date.

 

[Tornado]

Sony wouldn't release it after Christmas no matter what year it was scheduled for.

When a game's release date is listed as "December 31st, 20XX", it's a placeholder.

No, but they would release it two days before.

 

[chunkybeef103]

Sorry, my bad. I knew that didn't sound right, thanks for letting me know that the release date on Playstation store is not true. I just hope that we get a GT game early next year.

On the same page there is a statemen:

"This game is expected to be available in 437 days on 12/31/2017"

Serious website should never gamble like that.

 

[05XR8]

The initial delay message on the website, reads eerily familiar to the, "we found the hardware limiting on the" PS4. "So, we couldn't so what we wanted to do on this console. Maybe the next console..."

 

[CSLACR]

It's great that I can skip months at a time, check back on here and see that PD still hasn't done anything.

Has beens, that's all they are at this point. Limited by everything and nothing, they just can't get it done.

With this delay they need to be adding better views and I have seen nothing like that in any of the latest gameplay videos. That floating window view where you can't tell where the front of the car is, sadly is one of their best driving views. They need a in car without wheel/dash cam and adjustable FOV.
