GT5 delayed

[Blitz24]

If its two weeks then the commercials for GT5 would have began the Tuesday after the delay was announced (October 19th)

they started well before that, remember the i love cars ad on the slide?

That was a Japanese commercial, where their promotion of games is different than what is done in America. If I recall correctly there is SCEE, SCEI, and SCEA publishing the game based on region and their marketing strategies are not the same.

I just noticed something on the France Playstation Blog. They list developers who will attend to Paris Game Week and Kaz Yamauchi is not on that list.

Maybe he will not come to Paris Game Week?

 

[Spagetti69]

Listen mate the French really know how to riot.
If I was Kaz I'd stay away.

*joke about the French. I love my European cousins.

He's scared of being killed by French assassins.

The French have assassins? Since when were the French skilled at warfare?

 

[TheIshter]

The French have assassins? Since when were the French skilled at warfare?

Since GT5 got delayed, of course.

 

[FendRhodes]

Wow that's pretty recent

 

[Blitz24]

Dang, why don't they fight a war instead of Kaz then and make people happy?

Someone needs a history lesson...

I meant it as since France usually doesn't win any wars, not that the country itself hasn't produced military men.

Nuff said, ever heard of a chap called Napoleon for example? ( and there are more recent examples no doubt ).

 

[peter_vod69]

Yeah he was that leader who was famous for being defeated at Waterloo...

Eventually defeated to be fully correct ( and that's exactly why Waterloo is remembered, not the other way around ).

Yeah yeah I know, I just wanted to keep the "Cheese Eating Surrender Monkey" thing going

I'm getting anxious about GT5... It's October 25th and still no news

It's easy to be arrogant with less than 500 years of history.

My guess, no Kazu tomorrow on PGW and no final build of GT5 , same old story...

My guess (based on my thoughts about the main reason of delay - CoD's release), they are just waiting for now, so new release date won't be too far from it's announcement.
They can't say something like that: game is 100% done and could be released by mid november, but we won't do that, because CoD will "eat" our sales and we can't allow that after 6 years of development.

So what you are saying is that a videogame is like an eclipse it's there and then it's gone, GT5 is somewhat an ephemeral phenomenon and won't be in stores after a week?

No what he's saying is that he thinks sony don't want to risk anything diminishing the impact of GT5's arrival. Big sales early means recouping some of the production costs sooner rather than later, and making a profit sooner rather than later.

 

[TheGranVette]

That's Just a place holder till the real delay is announced.

No I was saying that October 31st is "the end of the month", meaning we won't hear anything till then, and that another delay will be announced

 

[iAMgt5]

my sources tell me that the game is coming out in november.

 

[raven arsenic]

My sources tells me that the game is not going to coming out this year.

 

[hardvibes]

My sources tell me the game won't come out at all.

 

[peter_vod69]

You will forgive me for thinking you to be "full of it".

 

[raven arsenic]

My sources tells me that Kaz is not going to attend to Paris Game Show.
