Im 37 next month and although Im dying for this game to come out as much as the next guy and moan about it a lot (although Ive chilled recently) I lead such a busy life that the time literally flies buy. Im married with a 3 year old son, am in full time employment and weeks go by like days -a sign of getting old Im told.
Plus Im in a fortunate position to have the funds to buy and play other games and do other stuff to help pass the time whilst we wait for the release.
When the game does come out Ill be able to grab an hour here and there on it and perhaps some more time late on a Saturday night, I wont live on the game as the younger people can and will do when it comes out, so to sum up - GT is not a big part of my life.
My heart goes out though to the younger members of this forum who are waiting for this game to be released, reason being
When I was about 9 or 10 I saw this game in our local supermarket and lusted over it.
About a month after seeing this game it was my birthday and leading up to it every Saturday whilst out shopping with my mum I would run over to this toy and just stare at the box imagining how good this game must be to play.
On the morning on my birthday I opened up all my birthday cards and I had enough money to buy the game so off we went to the supermarket to buy the game.
When we got to the supermarket they were out of stock of the game and I was as you can imagine absolutely gutted. We spoke to the store manger who said it will be in stock in a few days time.
This was before everybody had a mobile phone, the internet etc so the manger suggested I popped in everyday to see if it had arrived.
So I did this everyday and it probably came in to stock I think about 2 weeks after but to a 9 year old boy this felt like years. I remember how disappointed I was each time I visited the store only to be told try again tomorrow or the next day constant highs of expectations walking to the store followed by crushing disappointment and the long walk back home.
I remember when I was at school that a day seemed to last forever!!
When I used to save my money to by CAR magazine I would read the magazine in one day and it seemed another year had passed until the next monthly issue arrived in the shop, nowadays the next months issues arrives before Ive even had change to read last months and last months only felt like it got delivered last week!!
Anyway the game came into stock and I played on it for hours and hours - I imagined was in that little car I was steering blasting down the country lanes it was magical!
So for all you younger people the above is why Im feeling your pain, Gran Turismo must be a dream for you to play so you can imagine you are really driving a car and living out your high octane petrol head fantasies.
Its all right for use oldies who can pick up our car keys and just go outside and go for a real drive, so for those who are not old enough yet GT must be a god send.
I think when we read that KY said the game is ready and can be released at any time and now read that it could now be released by fall its really disappointing and I guess must be gut wrenchingly awful for the younger people on here when Gran Tursimo is very much a very big part of their life.
Lets hope Sony & PD do the right thing and bring the game out sooner rather than later.
