Sony said it would be released in Japan in March. That was official. Otherwise known as an official release date. Nobody outside of Japan expected it to be in their local store.

A Japan release date, not an American or Global release date, which is why I asked if anyone here lives in Japan. Because most of us live in America or Europe. Which is not Japan. So the Japanese release date shouldn't even concern us, unless one of us speaks Japanese, has a Japanese PS3 and plans to import that Japanese GT5.
 
March 31st 2010 was the official japanese release date of Gran turismo 5, until it got delayed January 13th 2010.

It's so simple.....

I highly doubt there will be any track editor thing in GT5, it would be WAY WAY Over the top complex. GT5 isn't a simple game as MOD racer nation.
IF PD cant even make 3D trees, what makes you think he will allow you to do so ;) ahah LOL

As long as GT5 has been in production, I wouldn't say that anything is impossible. Yes, it's a long shot. Yes, something this powerful is a much safer bet for GT6 or PS3. But, I'll have to say that ModNation Racers has made me see the light of what's possible on the Cell engine. Remember that once upon a time, we felt brave in guessing that GT5 would have 600 some odd cars - my guess. And now, we're speculating about day/night transitions and real-time variable weather, which I insist is about as difficult to produce properly.

Will we get a track creator? We'll all see in less than five days. But whatever we do see is probably going to make most of us very happy. ;)

Yes but it was likely the game would be released very soon. And some people were willing to import it, 10% infact (https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=122876).

Did you expect us to ignore it lol. I understand what you mean though. But you underestimate us.

I responded to this in the E3 thread (when you posted something similar there). I think for GT5 to raise the bar, it first much reach it. FM3 has set the customization bar in terms of a livery editor. But GT5 will raise that particular bar simply due to the number of cars that can be customized (nearly double FM3's count). A track editor would be neat, too. It's mind boggling! So many things we don't know. It's a burden and a beauty all at the same time! :)

You wouldn't need a Japanese PS3. All PS3 games are region free. There are plenty of people that would have imported GT5 if it came out in Japan and there was still no US or European release date (I was one of them).

I'm not sure why you are so hung up on the semantics of what exactly a release date is. If the title was announced to be released in Japan in march 2010 then that was it's announced release date.

And? Guess what? Its still a date, just because it was for thier home region and not a global release date doesn't make it any different. Besides, who specifically said "we had only one date for a world wide release"? I sure don't remember reading it anywhere.

Dear god...

The stupidity here, sometimes.

Hardvibes (among several other users) spelt it out for you (By 'you' I mean freshseth83) above, in big bold letters. What he said is a fact and is not subject to debate.

What is subject to debate, is the reason for the delay in Japan. But that subject has been discussed, again and again and again. There is no answer, unless you are Kazunori Yamauchi, in which case we can accept your theory. If not... don't bother posting.
 
Some people see facts in front of them.. yet they still have to get more facts or even get different conclusions.

to summon it up.. here is a FUNNY yet it makes a good point about some people.

But hey, since there is no news about GT5 since months (at least any big news) I understand everyone gets frustrated, even I do at this point with waiting in the dark fro GT5. Funny how we all know there will be damage, but we dont know how many cars, how great the damage will be etc etc, same thing with day and night, is it dynamic or only selectable before a race? PD should release this info LONG before E3.

*Rumor*

I have just heard from a source (yet to be determined if reliable) that GT5 is stated for release September 2010.

The reason for it's delay was not the game, the game is in fact complete. The delay was due to the 3D technology in the TV's. Every Manufacture used different methods to produce the 3D, and GT5 glitched badly depending of the brand of TV.

So it was delayed to I guess work out the issues, whether they were GT5 itself or the TV's. It wads delayed to work on the PS3 firmware or something.

But in the end it was not an issue with GT5 or PS3 firmware.

So from now until September or even the rumored 27th August date, I guess mass production etc will happen until then.

Either way, where I live, most stores have received official promotion material from Sony, such as dummy boxes and what not in store this week and it is all going on display as I type this.

Of course 3D was to blame. And what a shame :(.

As for September, that's my best guess for a release month. But it's just speculation, as are most things about GT5. We need facts. I think they're on their way.
 
HAHA!!!


Like KAZ said, GT5 could be completed at any moment, he wants to add more and more to it, also it got delay Because there were too many PS3 exclusives in 2009 also PD felt like doing more to the game will help it a lot, like re doing damage, now having night effects possibly day and night cycles.. And we even got updated NUR-RING with added track to it, who knows what PD have done during that delay.

Just because people think GT5 is delay because of 3D or this or that.. PD will always work on that time to put most into GT game. I think its good GT5 got delay, because by NOW we would have been waiting for PATCHES for better damage and for day and night cycles...


Also September is very predictable, after all its my own super prediction .. just look under my name, or above my Avatar.

Think what you want, the release date was slated to be in march in japan and was PENDING. That's not OFFICIAL. Please do some more reading before you try to make fun of someone. The only 'blockheads' in here are Fanatics about GT that sit there and make fun of people for stating facts, then turn around and make fun of the same game they defend a supposed release date for about things like 3D. Which one is it? Left or Right? Because it seems like every other post some people are on one side of the fence, then on another. No one can say for sure that GT was delayed because of this or that. The release was pending as of January. GT games have had things that pushed them back in the past, why expect anything different this time around? What did we see at CES last year that made it seem like the game was ready to go when KAZ was saying himself this and this but we seen what? Obviously it's not up to just KAZ to release the game, it's up to Sony. And like I said before, if you paid attention to other electronic news concerning Sony, you'd realize they were planning on the 3D gaming and 3DTV this summer ever since early this year. Why would they release GT5 without the latest technology and perhaps one of the biggest technologies this year? Of course it wasn't CONFIRMED until recently GT5 would have 3D, but like I said, if you pay attention to the electronic industry, you can clearly see what companies like Sony have planned for the near future. So when I saw the pending news, I knew this release date of March was gonna be moot. Especially since Avatar was so big in 3D, everyone including Sony wanted to cash in on it. Then with the move as well, Sony wants to brand that. Then there's possible head tracking, you think all of that which wasn't even mention last year will just skip past one of if not the biggest game on PS3?

I just used logic, something that seems to be lacking with a few posters here talking 🤬.

I think you might wanna watch what you say. Bypassing the censor is a big no-no, buddy.

Beat me to it.

Honestly, we'll have the game in our greedy little hands soon so arguments about past release dates should probably stop. It's all about next Tuesday now, so let's just wait and see what they have in store for us.
 
It's disappointing if 3D was the reason for the delay...but perhaps not too much, as they're bound to have added more cars in that time, and done even more optimization.

Plus, GT5 needed an E3 showing IMO before launch. I don't see how it could have been released in Japan in March, then being shown at E3, as everyone would know what was in the game.

Now Sony just have to come through with the E3 showing for the non-GT5 fanatics, and to make sure that GT5 news cuts above, or more realistically, holds its own against, all the other big announcements coming out of E3. I want GT5's E3 showing to really blow people away; especially the journalists who always jibe on GT5's development time, while giving some other games a free pass.

Soon as in 3 Months at the earliest is to long :(

We all want it now, we all want to pimp our favorite cars and pwn nubs online.

First thing i'll be doing is seeing if it is possible to complete the game without buying a car.

:lol: Interesting way of playing the game, especially for your first time playing it? As for the 3 months bit, i think they will drop it sooner then that, everything will be ready, e.g. 3DTV released, PS3 update for 3D etc

That is the way I tried to play GT4, however I found out it can not be done. Not sure if it will be the GT5.

Hope it drops soon, would be cool, be insane if it was like, first day of next annual year, start off with a boom for sony hey!
 
I wish they would make a huge announcement the day of and start all advertising to get the game out within a week or two of E3. No other time will so many people be in one place to acknowledge such a huge game and listen to everything they have to say. They could even start all advertising the next day to avoid conflicts?

Sony basically said at last years TGS or something that all PS3s had just been price dropped (that day, without previous marketing) and introduced the Slim two weeks after it just fine. It COULD happen
 
This has already hit me again today.

According to the Gran Turismo (Series) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gran_Turismo_(series)) page on wikipedia the PSP game has 72 tracks over 45 locations.

Now I'm not much of a programmer or that kind of thing, but surely a PS3 has more capacity and with Bluray, can take more data and store more data on its massive HDD's and hence should be have more locations and tracks than a mere PSP.

GT5 if you haven't already cottoned on has
70 tracks over 20 locations


That is
70 tracks VS 72 tracks
20 locations VS 45 locations.


So not only does GT5 aparently have less tracks, but there just exploiting 20 locations alot for 70 tracks rather than having 45 different locations.



Possible Answer
Could it be that these are the real life locations and the no of tracks at these locations. Hence Deep Forest and all your favorite tracks will be added to that.
It could explain where these made up tracks fit in with the location equation.



So what do you think of the idea? Or is there something I'm missing.



NOTE: This is ont just wishful thinking, but actually logically comparing PSP to PS3
 
The track issue has bugged me for a while for that very reason (the PSP game), but I do remember reading somewhere that the tracks/location might just be an odd translation... so who knows. As always the final count is only available once it's in our hands.

What I can't understand is the huge demand for a track editor. Considering so many people readily acknowledge KY's obsessive fetishistic nature when it comes to the game, I don't know why they think he'd let any 12 year old design some track. MNR's track creator is incredible, sure, but it doesn't lend itself well to the hyper-realistic standard GT has. A livery editor is different; while I'm sure there'll be plenty of fairly awful/questionable paintjobs, it's just a skin on a car. It's not a whole new car. A track creator undermines both the real tracks and the PD-constructed ones; does Kaz want some kid's rough approximation of Bathurst floating around (and dozens of other similar copies)? Do you really think after all the talk of the amount of effort that goes into every track, they'd let users have even a portion of the tools needed to create something akin to Deep Forest?

Leave track creators to more simple, fun games like ModNation, nothing wrong there. I'd rather some DLC down the road if PD wants to give us more tracks. Obviously all IMO.
