Rumour: Yamauchi won't talk about GT5 at E3 !!

[LittleBahamut]

And if the causal gamer or GT fan has already left to pick up Forza 2 or has decided to go with 360/Forza 3 instead of PS3/GT5, then good riddance. If you're willing to settle for second best in video games then I'm sure your willing to settle for second best in alot of things in life.

It's not like PD is sitting on thier hands or development has screeched to a hault.

According to Amar when the game is ready it will be huge. Compare the PS2 GT games to the PS3 GT games.

GT3 came out with 150 cars, while GT4 had 600+.

I think PD has decided to skip the GT3 phase for the PS3 and they are spending the extra time to go straight to the GT4 phase, as including all the cars and tracks they have a license for.

I'd rather them do that, then release GT5 lets say last year with 150 cars, and a dozen tracks, only to, like Forza, release a new game 2 years later with features, cars, and tracks that they didn't have time to include. Or worst, release a majority of the game via DLC.

amar has said GT5 will be the feast of the Gods, so is there any reason to think GT5 will not be worth the wait?

How much longer do you think the average GT fan will wait? How long can you wait? Take a look at Duke Nukem Forever! That game have been in development for so long that no one really cares for it anymore. All those Duke Nukem fans have probably grown out of loving that franchise and found other new franchises to enjoy now.

Amar says this! Amar says that! Stop buying into the hype Amar says, seriously. 4-5 years is a long time to wait and what have we really got? An overpriced demo, pictures, and trailers. I don't care how credible Amar is, GT5 is not a feast of the Gods until it get in our hands. Many developers will go on and on about how great their game is and how sucky the competitors are. It is a normal thing to do when marketing.

PD should have done something like Blizzard. They know how to hype and show. When there is some gap in information, they hype again at big shows like E3 and Blizzcon. Even if they delay it, they still show the fans what they have done so no one is worried. When the game finally comes out, it hits the competitors face like a freakin truck!

PD should have been releasing new pics and videos overtime to keep the customers interested. With this long of a silence, all we got is topics like "What cars do you want in GT5?", "Should damage be in the game?" Pretty soon, we will all get tired of the same thread and slowly grow out of Gran Turismo. We will finally take the time to actually drive to a race track and race. When that game finally comes out, we will probably be having too much fun at the real race track to even buy it.

to the above post, i just want two of the best racing games out there, why would you want to make t10 look silly......?

Im the same as I own both consoles and will play both GT5 and FM3.

As for my silly comment I just think Turn 10 were a bit hasty making such rash comments. If you want to be competitive against your competitor then you need to know what they have before making such comments. All im saying is if GT5 does appear today with actual game footage and its announced GT5 has over 800 cars then Turn 10 will look silly.

I agree with you 100%.

First of all, I have to state I'm not involved into PD, Sony, SCE or whatever company officially or unofficially associated with them in any way. Thus, my information comes via various sources and no matter of their credibility, sometimes lans just do not outcome as they supposed to.

For this particular situation, during February and March I was given a strong assurances that work on Gran Turismo is in the final stages and that game will be presented to public in months to come.

I do not want to apologize to anyone or try to save my credibility - everything I said was 100% accurate in time of writing and will be the part of the final game if those informations were true.

As fot this particular E32009 situation, there are less than 10 hours until Sony's keynote. I really do not know what has PD decided to put emphasis on and will the GT5 actually appear in any form.

I am not Kazunori Yamauchi nor his associate. I'm just trying to communicate info I have a chance to obtain with the other fans of the series here. I'm very aware that everything I say will be heavily judged this way or another but I am more than willing to live with that kind of burden.

And in conclusion, I will also be somehow disappointed if GT5 does not make appearance later today. We're all used to waiting and we all expect for waiting to end. But what will happen on the showfloor is not into my hands, your hands or in hands of any Gran Turismo fan out there.

It is all in the hands and head of a skinny Japanese guy who smokes menthol cigarettes and probably sleeps now in Los Angeles Four Season hotel.

 

[baadshah]

i think PD will not talk about gt5 on the ps3, i have a feeling they are only going to talk about the PSP version of the game and that's it...PD is treating us like fools...yes we all want a good product from them, but for god sakes tell us what they have achieved after the last game update......show us 3dmax version of the car damage model...that will make us happy for a few more months!

 

[Earth]

I really hate that this thread ever existed. I wish the thread creator never saw that article, and it was never posted here. It has caused me so much anxiety.

GT5 has not been at E3 in 2 years now. I cannot imagine PD or Sony letting GT5 go missing for 2 E3s straight...and I can never understand why Sony or PD would prioritize GT mobile over GT5 at E3.....just give me a 60 second trailer, then maybe let KY play through a demo of GT5 on stage showing off a new feature or two...then release some high res pictures...oh the anxiety

 

[scandisk]

Meh So many crybabies here. Relax guys, chill. Does the Forza 3 Unveil really hurt so much?

I was more impressed by Project Natal

 

[McLaren]

All I really want by this point is at least screenshots of a new track or a couple new cars. My expectations just aren't very high at this point.

A game company makes games that people play. How can T10 have pumped out 2 full games and now they have 400 cars. Even your patience will be tested one day. What if GT5 is a no show tomorrow, then another no show at TGS, then no show at next years; E3? With the way Sony has mismanaged just about everything with the PS3, it's fully possible that GT5 might become a PS4 launch title.

I had an expectation that GT5 would come out 1-2 years after PS3 releases at most, it's been almost 3 years now and it's seen delay after delay, it's ridiculous. At some point you just gotta draw a line and stop adding stuff to the game and just release it. If GT5 is a no show tomorrow, Sony could announce that a litter of kittens come with every new PS3 and my heart would still remain frozen.

More saddening rumours:

Hope “God of War 3” isn’t on your holiday wish list. Despite widespread assumptions that the game is due this year, word now is that it has been pushed to 2010 (as has the next “Gran Turismo”). We may get official confirmation of this tomorrow at Sony’s press conference.

Really, because I've heard that GT5 will be out next week...

Sick of waiting for GT5? The shock news, according to rumours, is that the game will be released next week to take advantage of the usual summer gaming lull!

(and that's just as credible)

Anyone who responds to this post while failing to get the point will be derided mercilessly. And that includes anyone who is so far taking the other self-referential "rumours" in this thread as cold, hard fact. Anyone can make up a rumour. That doesn't make it a truth...

From Amar's original post i always thought it was a March 2010 release anyway.

[Kingdizzi]

If Yamauchi walks onto the stage and talks about GT Portable for 10 minutes and nothing at all about GT5 then I really have no faith in the game releasing before summer 2010. Last year we got a trailer for GT TV so this year I expect at least something.

What I have to say though is that it simply has to be shown as Forza 3 was pretty darn amazing when shown yesterday........besides watching that Turn 10 guy in the face for saying "defining" every breath. It is close to Prologue in terms of graphics are above in physics (IMO) of course.

It's just getting that little bit too much now, I am shocked many of you fans have not yet lost patience after 4 years. I just think it is about time at least features about the full game were shown........either way my heart is sinking with this news.

HOWEVER no other website has picked up on this news at all. This is pretty big news so I think if it was news it would have been plastered on every game website.

 

[Kjelliken]

Not really fuzzed about release date anymore.. All I know is that I'm going to have both GT5 and FM3.

For the simple reasons they are the two best simulators out there when thay come out for sure. And all the true motorheads out there who like car simulators/ racing simulators will for sure like both games.

Sure there will be things we want to incorporate and have more and more.
But first time I played GT1 I was blown away.
It litteraly changed the world of car simulator in my eyes.

Then forza came along years after and they saw the potential in different aereas and give some of us even more to play with.

And my passion for GT has not been lost I just want MORE...

For me it will be the diferent cars and tracks to race that keeps me going, the challenge to race friends and people around the world. And I think this is what both games provide.

So YES I also hope the tale AMAR told us is reliebal. And all honor to AMAR to keep us with good info. Not to mention good hope for what is to come.

All in all we just want the game...

There has been rumours of GT5 being released in 2010 for a long time now. Just because E3 is on, it doesn't mean it's any more true than any other rumour.

 

[HuskyNSX]

I'm so pissed off when I read people complaining about the GT5 release. wft are you waiting? go get yourself an xbox360! I watched FM3 trailer and I'm disappointed. Just look at the stunts that the cars are doing? that's never possible in real-life! This is good indicator how much effort is in the game: GT5 - 5 years of development VS. forza3 - 2.5 years...

 

[Rash-182]

AMAR: have you seen any of those things you spoke about or just heard?

 

[marky5244]

If GT5 isn't out the Christmas this year then I'll be getting an Xbox 360 and Forza Motorsport 3. Then the wait for GT5 won't seem so long.

For all those criticising FM3 I would quote the following English proverb...

"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"

This means that it's better to possess something real right now than to count on finding something better in the future.


Mark.

 

[Custer85]

Maybe Kazunori Yamauchi will not answer questions, because his presentation at E3 will leave no questions to be unanswered.
But if SONY is focusing on the PSP Go and maybe the PS3 Slim we might be a bit short on information about actual software (games).

Thats great but I would rather buy NFS Shift to hold me over which I can get on PS3 or PC and use my G25 with it, than buy a Xbox360, Fanatec wheel to play Forza 3 while waiting for GT5.

 

[Famine]

If that is true then I'll be buying an Xbox 360 and Forza 3

Deja vu.


I'm still amazed at this response to an unsubstantiated, self-referential piece of made-up news.

 

[dazzi]

How long can this wait go on for?, seriously polyphony, too far is too far :S, a game no matter how good it is and big there is no chance on earth that it can take 6-7 years to make if the company is doing the right stuff on a time schedule, Iam a huge GT fan, pre-orderd GT5 prologue was a fan since i was 8, and this is quite embarasing, Turn 10 have not managed 1 but 2 games before polyphony has done one, sure FZ2 was a bit more like GT4, I dont even own a 360, but I will admit that Forza 3 is looking absolutely amazing, the one thing that Gt5 seemed to have on top of Forza has been eaten away, and those were the visuals, all I can say is well done sony, well done polyphony, for taking your sweet dear time thinking that your game will never ever be surpassed, we fans have a certain length of patience too, and I could care less what response I get in terms of this post, but in the end, we are the ones who will buy the games, and Iam 99% sure that new people will be driven away by mid 7/10 reviews as I really cant see the reviewer some of which will be fans, thinking the game was 7 years worthwhile.
But by all means I hope I choke on my words when I get up tomorrow morning (E3 at 4am Australian) and see that GT5 has been announced, but that possibility seems very slim.
And to the person going off at Amar, I thank Amar for the great work he has done, no joke no sarcasm, when everyone was clueless he always had info and I think he should keep up the great work, its not his fault that Polyphony is pathetic at following time schedules, hire more staff for crying out loud you cant expect to make a game 50x bigger then the previous with the same amount of workers within a decent time period.

[rookiebalboa]

don't worry if they don't give a release date, I'll buy PD and send the game on the market...

 

[paskowitz]

For those that can't stand the wait... please get a grip. Do you know how long Street Fighter fans had to wait for a new version? 12 YEARS! (sure there were spin offs and "new versions" but truth be told they were all the same). 12 YEARS! That is more than double the wait for GT5. Guess what TONS of people bought SFIV (most on the PS3 no less). Sure some bought other fighting games and I am sure others ditched the series but guess what they missed out. As proclaimed fans of GT you really should be ashamed. Rest assured, if you truly like GT then when GT5 comes out you will buy it, no matter what the release date is. Did Boston Red Sox fans stop loving their team for the 86 years of their world series drought, NO! 86 freakin years! As a Yankee fan sure I am disappointed but that is remarkable. More examples: the wait from MGS3 to MGS4 was about 4 years. Was it hard, yes. But I stuck through it knowing that Kojima would pull through even if it took a while. And look at MGS4, its one of the best games ever made (IMO). Same with Killzone 2. GT5 is this kind of title. So quit your whining and wait till 11:00PST today.

As a side note: IF GT5 is not shown I will be disappointed. IF they do not show GT5 I think it will be a huge mistake on Sony/PD's part. And IF they they do not show GT5 then well I will have to wait some more.

And while I understand that Amar's clues may not come true due to unforeseen circumstances he has never lied to us in the past. To me that is worth something.

So 6 hours and 34 mins. to go...

[Shooter_Greek]

The way i see it sony doesn't want KY to talk about GT5 simply because they want to keep everything regarding the game under wraps until the press conference. Many companies do this. The PSP Go and GT Mobile are pretty big for Sony but in the end GT5 is what HAS TO BE an incredible success. If i were a betting man i would bet my money on GT5 Being at E3.

 

[Sele1981]

Today I got a goooood feeling GT5 will blow us away in near 7 hours...

And if not,life goes on

Yesterday I was pissed because i never thought that FM3 will come so early... I thought it will come summer 2010...

Today im calm and optimistic that we get some nice infos

Also we will see the new 3d feature from Sony and then God of War and many other explosions...
