Sony are slowly loosing my loyalty...........................

Sony may lose my loyalty, but PD never will, aslong as new GT's keep coming, i'll keep waiting 
The BBC own the rights to "the stig" not Ben Collins that's why there was so much confrontation about him revealing himself as the stig earlier in the year. So unless the BBC themselves had backed out at the last minute(I don't see why and presumably they're in a contract with PD to use the stig and Dunsfold Park) then this couldn't be a factor in the delay.

Maybe we will get the new release date when the New We love cars commercial get rollling.
Aint that the truth.
the only reason i bought a PS3, was for the GTA's (which are now multi platform) the final fantasys (which are also now multi platform) and the Gran turismo's (which dont seem to ever come out!)
so whats the point in me staying with sony i have to ask myself?
if this game had come out nov 5 like they said then yeah, but this kinda thing irritates me. i know its only a game, but i plan my gaming purchases around each other, and GT 5 was going to be my game till xmas, no i dont know whether to wait or not!
sort it out sony FFS
i guess we will probably get the new date at the paris games show.
makes sense to me.
hopefully the new OPM will carry the review still, especially if the games still due out before xmas.
im not buying it unless its in, although i imagine it should say on the cover!!! (arnt these mags always written 2 months in advance??)

This pretty much sums up Sony's SCE management, they give you what you don't want or need(Move) and don't give you what you do want (GT5, better firmware I.E. cross game chat) nobody begged them to make motion controls for the PS3 and from the looks at the total sold units it quite didn't meet their expectations (We want GT5 under our tree SONY not Move).

i think SONY have to get GT 5 out for xmas, otherwise i think they will be miles behind in the race at christmas, everyones going to get an xbox instead and say i want at least SOMETHING for christmas.
what do sony have? oh the move, which i bought myself, and frankly, wish i hadnt.
maybe if kaz has put Move operated window winders in the cars then ok, thats good lol.

Microsoft wrote out some big cheques and the PS3 has not taken a majority of the market share (as the PS2 did), so developers have had to go multiplatform to make a killing.
Still, I believe Sony have done the right thing and invested in their first party studios, moreso than Nintendo and Microsoft. There are still some tasty PS3 exclusives and some good new IPs; Uncharted series, God of War series, Demon Souls, Resistance series, Motorstorm series...
wednesday, i THINK, i googled it earlier!
so to sum up, we still have that NZ event (doubt anything pops up) is that today?
Paris games show on wednesday (27th) which i reckon is the biggun.
and OPM magazine which hopefully still carries the review and release date, also on the 27th.
so i reckon we will hear on wednesday people!
oh i agree with you, sony still dropped the ball big time, pricing the ps3 too damn high at the start.
on your exclusives, i agree with a few,
Uncharteds were VERY good, i look forward to the third.
God of wars? i played the demo of 3 and i preferred Dantes inferno myself. (which is multiplatform!)
Demons souls, is nowhere near as good as they say.
Resistance 1 was good, 2 was lame, lets hope 3 is also good.
Motorstorm?? i think they were terrible gimmicky games.
anyway this is off topic so i shall shut up.

It wasnt a disc pressing error, it was the fact polyphony was 3 days late going "gold" (due to a last minute change to the new SDK version). Thus their week allocated at the printing plant was already half through, so they had to reschedule another week to print in.
You're kidding your self if you believe there isn't a signed contract for top gear and the stig. BBC would not be able to do anything about it, and if it did become an issue in the future it would be easily updated over the internet.

It's really not a disc pressing issue. If you miss a slot they book in another one for you straight away so there would be no reason not to be able to announce a new date pretty much immediately. Plus, for a game of this importance they would do everything and anything to get it duplicated anyway, they would outsource it if necessary. They bend the rules for massive titles.
So for me it is a Gold Master issue. I know they were having all sorts of problems with it just a week before the date they would have needed to master by, I doubt that all sorted itself out in time. The other thing worth considering is when people are attending events and playing demos and reporting back on here, to a man they are suggesting these are old builds with bits missing here and there and features not included or activated.
Look at it this way. If the game is finished then that final gold version is the one you will use for events because it is the one that has been tested most and will be deemed to be the most free of bugs as well as the most representative of the final quality. The fact they are not using a gold master build suggests there is not one to use.

Sorry to interrupt the latest delay news but getting back to Rush.
Here is a good read about their song Red Barchetta.
I think seeing this song in concert sparked my interest in cars, vintage cars to be precise.
It has great lyrics that could translate well with the current delay.
That would be the part about the car being stored (gt5 delay) and unwrapping it and finally getting to drive/play it.
The article sounds like me with no knowledge of cars back in the early 80's.
If only I had an uncle hiding one of these in his garage, just for me.
It includes the video of the song also.
I would like to see a similar Ferrari.

Gameblog, the very well-known french video game website, will have a special report with, I quote, "tons of exclusive information and a visit of the studio in Japan" next wednesday (27 October). I expect some new stuff because they're very professional and I know that they don't lie.
Yes I do.
Here it is: http://www.directstar.fr/video/n0nuu
It's a the end of the video from 25:10 to 25:18.
According to their sources, GT5 will be released on the 26 of November (in Europe ?).
Have you got a link?
Yes I do.

Should we believe random users on a forum instead? The delay on PDs part was 3 days, but we already know that it's more complicated then that. They had to reschedule the printing factories and they can't just do that whenever they want. Other games are being made.
They also said they would announce the date at the end of the month, why are you surprised they haven't done so so far?
