Absolutely not, PD and Sony want this game out as soon as possible. And they would rather have out for the holiday season then in 2011. I'm sure they're working hard to get it out by then. I would honestly guesstimate myself it would be out by end of November/Early December. Worst thing that can happen is a late December release... Unless everything is haywire at Sony and the Blu-Ray schedule is not due untill said 2011 date.

That's got hardly anything to do with not meeting a deadline set by themselves as the main development and 'maxing out' the PS3 capabilities were done in the 5 or 6 years leading up to that final release date.
The problems could have arrived due to the complexity but saying the content put in is the reason for delay isn't accurate I think.
They've only missed it by 3 days apparantly ( and rumour has it that they had to integrate a new firmware standard causing this delay ) which has nothing to do with the features included, probably just a last minute change they had to implement and which somehow seems to be poorly planned or miscalculated as for the time it took ( or unforeseen problems arising implementing it ).

Ah.. Yes that's rightIt's a big responsability!
Early December will be cool! But maybe think they can sell more at Christmas time.. I hope not, everybody are pre-ordering his own copy..
Yeah. I'm sure they could make as much money if they released earlier. I'm sure not every 12 year old is going to be wanting a driver simulator.

That's right, marketing people inside Sony's should start recon GT is not a simple videogame for teenagers. We don't need to wait Christams to buy it.Yeah. I'm sure they could make as much money if they released earlier. I'm sure not every 12 year old is going to be wanting a driver simulator.
I remember that there was supposed to be a GT5, when the PS3 was first launched. Then they scrapped it completely, and released GT5P some time later. So if you think about it GT5 has been postponed more than twice and has been in production for over FIVE YEARS!! The reason why this sucks is, while we all are sure GT5 will be better than Forza 3, Dirt 2, the next NFS etc. etc. It's not going to be five yrs. worth of time better! Also, if the game has one glitch, and I mean ONE, its going back! I'll wait on Forza 4, which from what I've seen so far, is going to be sick!! Basically, PD needs to step their game up......LITERALLY! Their like drug dealers.....you may not like them very much,but you love their product! But somebody needs to let them know that their not the only dealers on the block! LOLOL

Gamestop now lists the pre-order as shipping 1/1/2011 ...

I bet this is just a conservative estimate on their part. I really don't think Sony will want to miss out on the holiday market by releasing then.

Not a release date for GT5.
Not a release date for GT5.
Not a release date for GT5 for you.
The only GT5 release date for you so far.
Read. Digest. Comprehend.

I could have marked my calendar with every day from June 2005 until next December with rumoured release dates.

You talked about them not meeting their deadlines e.g spring 2010 fall 2009 ect. so that was because of the firmware?
This delay was firmware related. Those deadlines were not met because of the fact that they wanted to add more, and more. . .
It's a mix of things - had they met the deadline, they'd not have needed the 3.50 firmware (mandated by Sony since October). They missed that deadline by 3 days and the master copy with 3.41 wouldn't have passed Sony's new rules (ironic, with Yamauchi being the VP of Sony and all).
Why did they miss the deadline? I blame Ben Collins.

I was only talking about this current delay in the post you quoted ( which indeed seems to be firmware related ).
The Japanese release date delay ( which is the only 'other' delay I remember mentioning at all in this thread ) wasn't mentioned in that post or the reasons for it which aren't known ( at least not by me ).

Yeah... that's the easy route.
BLAME BEN COLLINS!
That would be scripted for people selling the game behind the till
*Guy goes to pay for GT5*
Customer: Ahh, I've been waiting for this game for 5 years.
Cashier guy: You must feel happy to put this in your PS3 then when you get home
C: (Bringing out card) Yeah, by the way why was it delayed?
CG: (Bringing out script) Blame... Ben... Collins.

Rumour has it that the way Ben Collins was modelled ( or at least the character he was playing ) somehow wasn't compatible with the new firmware update.
They're not sure if this might be due to the way his body is shaped ( which in itself is odd ) or that this particular data coincidentally corrupts that new software ( even odder as the chances of that happening are under normal circumstances almost negligible ).
For now, rumours of direct sabotage however are fiercely denied by all parties involved.
