If everyone takes a couple of seconds to stop and think, maybe we should be thinking more about what Kaz will have to announce, if anything, in Brussels. I'm expecting summer 2010, worldwide.

Would you have the balls to announce a delay hours before a major European event unless you had a very good answer for all the interviews?
 
" in due course"? what would they mean with that..
Or "The company added that the Polyphony racer’s EU date will appear in its own good time."... "IN ITS OWN GOOD TIME".. hmmm
 
If Kaz has no answers in Brussels I wouldn't be at all suprised, infact i'm already starting to feel a little sorry for him. He's made the fifth instalment of one of the worlds all time great game franchises and most of his time is spent defending sony to impatient journalists and gamers a like. Shame on you!
 
PD should have cept GT5 a secret until TGS08 and released Prologue for Christmas 2008!
People wouldn't be angry because they are waiting for such a long time now. GTHD was a bad idea and it made people aware of GT5 a bit to early.

I will buy GT5 day one, whenever this day may come. Its all about quality for me! If delaying the game means some more work on certain aspects Iam fine with it, but just delaying it, because SONY wants it to be released after God of War 3, just to have a Blockbuster for every month to come, Iam disappointed.

And the fact it has been delayed years is irrelevant?
 
not sure if this will mean anything but heres the release dates for GT4

NA Gran Turismo 4 2,980 2005/02/22
EU Gran Turismo 4 6,410 2005/03/09
JP Gran Turismo 4 1,270 2004/12/28

So the last time around it was between December and March.
 
Well, if it's a couple months to get Porsche in (as an example) I wouldn't mind... Or if it's just a couple of days to get a global release date.

But if it's just some Marketing decision, disguised as some "fine tune" BS, then it's getting a bit over any reasonable limit... As has been said by Kaz, the game was good enough and could have come out before GT Mobile, and Christmas.

We really need to know more facts and measure up by how long will it be delayed against the reason for the delay.

Well I guess the GTPSP did set them back a fair bit, So if it weren't for that we'd deffinently have it now but oh well.

Probably, but i like GTPSP, its easyly the game i play the most on my PSP. It actually was the game that made me buy one.

To PD: Please, take your time and give us a game that you feel is as close to your vision of GT as it can possibly be on Playstation 3 hardware.

I think the delay has nothing to do with vision, Porsche or numbers of cars/tracks, its more a marketing move(not a smart move) and business things we never imagine.
They are a elite enterprise i think they knew what are doing.

Sorry my english.
 
I love GT Mobile. It allows us to play GT on the move, but it's not the same thing. In fact GT is the reason I bought each and every PS. Which I only bought to play it basically, and always got the game on day one. Would have never bought a gaming console if it wasn't for the GT series. But I bought and want to play the (full) game. I didn't buy the PS3 back in 2008 to play "demos" and "prologues" of it, or GT Mobile on the PSP.

I've reserved to myself the opinion that I had been somewhat "mislead" into buying the hardware much sooner (and pricier) to play an illusion (Prologue is a rather limited version of the game), with the carrot of the "soon to be released full game" dangling in front of my nose.

But it's been almost 2 years of chasing an unreachable carrot now. Enough is enough... It's been seen that all the ingredients are there and are all very good, Kaz said it can come out anytime, just "fine-tuning"... Come one... There will always be something else to add or correct or... Unless they are adding something really big (and i mean BIG, as Porsche or 3D) they should just release it already.

/end rant

Well said. 👍 Frankly, I can't believe it's been two years since I bought Prologue...:eek:
 
I don't quite follow the logic here. There has been no official release date (apart from the March one), so how can you have been mislead into buying the hardware?

I think people are confusing rumours they read on the web or in magazines with things said by Polyphony Digital.

The worst Polyphony Digital can be accused of is a lack of communication, made worse by everyone hanging on their every word, with the inevitable consequences.

Yes, I would like GT5 to be out now and yes I do read the news and watch the latest videos. However, I can't find too much fault with Polyphony Digital, most of it is down to us getting a bit too excited over a game we love.
 
Could it be they are going for a world wide release date to prevent a slew of gt5 fans from importing the game? Sony might make more money from
people buying the game in the region they live in.
 
don't complain untill you hear the new release date a world wide release will probably be the reason or maybe PD DECIDED to put new features as this game has got soo much hype it really needs to be perfect i'm sure we will hear more news later this weak granturismo and god of war surely can't be released in the same time Sony want to make as much profit out of this because 2010 the have soo many blockbuster games not to worry guys we have had alot of demos so the game is surely complete so expect it in the summer (hopefullly)lol

Why I think it was misleading.

A new GT always came with a new PS. That fact alone made GT fans buy a PS3 with Prologue on the spot. Which is actually very lame excuse of a GT, considering price vs features, cars, tracks, and if it didn't have the online mode, it would have probably failed miserably IMO.

Then add to that the hype of "you'll get GT5 soon" (which if not created by Sony/PD, they sure did not say the opposite, and is a deliberate way of keeping people hooked). So many GT fans in doubt or not convinced by Prologue went "hey, we'll play Prologue and when GT5 comes we already have the hardware".

So I think (Sony?) marketing did it (give us lame Prologue and keep GT5 release date a mystery, but always giving the impression that "soon" it will be there) only to boost PS3 sales at the time, because GT5 was far from ready to serve "their" marketing purposes as it did in the past.

Since then "they" are/were waiting for the right time to make another killing selling PS3/GT5 bundles. Which many people were betting on for Christmas 2008 2009 but then someone decided, "let's boost PSP Go sales with GT Mobile first".

I do not think PD (Kaz and the development team) are responsible because the game could have been released already in 2008, so it was just marketing.

So I feel (Sony?) marketing mislead people with the (never explicit) promise of GT5 soon. Which is sad because if I knew GT5 would take this long to be out, I'd probably buy the PS3 and Prologue just the same. I just don't like to be "played".

This is obviously my interpretation, and how I feel, but many other fans feel the same, I'm sure.


So (and on topic) we know GT5 is basically ready. This "delay" better be for a good reason, and I hope I can come back to this thread later and say "I was wrong, it was worth waiting another X (period of time) for Y,Z (new features)".

But if it turns out it's for marketing reasons, then I think enough is enough. I'm sick of those stunts under the plausible denyability of "we never promised you a date".
