As a Gran Turismo newbie, I knew nothing about GT. I saw some screenshots for prologue and read the preview article in psm magazine, and I was very impressed. I remember the wait (a couple of months) for it to be released in Japan (Dec 2007) and then in the UK (March 2008), it seemed to take forever and in reality this was only 5 months.
From the moment it loaded up I was hooked, I was blown away by the graphics and the sound was better than formula 1 champ. OK I was actually dissapointed by the AI after playing formula 1 champonship. But I thought the overall experience was great.
Within a a few weeks I thought I can't wait to get GT5 maybe just a few months, worse case Christmas 2008 (but that would be too long).
Then the wait kept on going, tit bits of news from the offfical playstation forum, an article saying will be released in 2009. The wait.......
I then found this forum which has made the wait more bearable
. Then just before the Forza release and TGS everyone was excited we could feel the end was near. Then after TGS 2009 with the announcement of march 2010 for japan release, time crawled to a snails pace, then more announcements, release date pushed back. The finish line seem further away with each day that passes.
I have only (I say only) been waiting a little over 2 years, alot of you have been waiting longer than that.
My hope is dying, I tried to fool myself they were playing games and it would be out in jan/feb, just so I was happily surprised, this is no longer working.
What's your coping strategy?, and is GT designed so I should be playing GT5 until GT6 arrives as this only works if they show us nothing and tell us nothing IMO.

I agree with you though, if it is bothering you that much gtbillyboy, go and buy another game and another game and so on, to keep you going until the magic day when GT5 is finally released.
