Simultaneous worldwide releases are tricky affairs. You can set it as a goal, but until you are printing discs there are plenty of things to prevent it. Not even Hollywood and television, who have been at this for way longer than game companies can pull it off regularly.Also note that he mentions a simultaneous worldwide release, which makes me wonder why they haven't confirmed that yet. Everything else has been spot on so far, though.
I'd blame Sony more then I would PD. In the end, Sony has the final word on things
SONY F'ed up, Forza wins 👎
All this story began when Greenawalt, aka King Leonidas, declared war to PD: "the Emperor is naked"...Im intrigued by this comment. What do Forza win exactly? I wasn't aware this was a race to who releases first..

Has anyone considered the fact that Amar's release date is still very much accurate, 30 days before 12 months pass, it was posted on the 16th of april, 30 days prior to that is march, and 12 months forward is March 2010 the release date.
Personally I think Amar played us all for a bunch of chumps. Does anyone remember Nostradamus? Old dead guy, predicted things, spoke in riddles which people interpreted to predict just about everything, but ultimately they predicted nothing? Sounds familiar huh? We heard what we wanted to hear and we got chumped. Thanks Amar, Im sure you got a good laugh out of it.
Will there be a presentation on GT5 at tgs 09 because i cant believe Kaz would just read through a list of features and not elaborate on them, or even show a video. 1 thing i ws hoping for was at least a trailer. I just cant comprehend that PD show nothing on GT5 at the biggest game show in there country. Anyway theres 2 more days to go hopefully we at least get a trailer
6-7 months? We have 5 full months ahead before gt5 gets released in Japan (yes Japanese, don't think about us/eu version).The reason why he didn't elaborate is because there is still 6-7 months till GT5 is released and plenty of time for them to chuck news at us and little teasers.. I still think their major priority at the moment is GTPSP.

Greeanawalt fully presented FM3 at E3, that's nearly 5 months before its release.
Late November/ Early December 2009 release, and it will be a global release.
Amar was very kind to us by sharing whatever information he had and we should thank him. I really doubt he'll continue giving us early info considering all the hatred he's getting, which is really sad. He's been most of the times, but even if he missed it completely we still should respect him because after all he's a human being.
Anyways, the first time I saw his predictions I thought it meant March. I think people thought it was gonna be December because they were too eager to have a 2009 release. Besides, even if PD planned a December release things could have changed down the road. And I'd rather have a good delayed game than an early game that sucks.
THIS IS NOT WHAT GT IS ABOUT.
Scaff, cancel my membership please.
Pwersonally I think it would be a better idea if you actually knew what the hell you were talking about.
For the record Amar has been a member here for a long time and has always stated exactly when his information is 100% accurate and when it is vauge but from a crediable source.
Now nicraM before you end up making a total fool of yourself, take a look at the date this thread was started, notice it was quite a while ago. Things change over time and I can assure you, given that I know Amar well enough from his time here, that he has not played us for anything at all.
On a more general note these shots at Amar are cheap and certainly will not be tolerated at all, I strongly suspect that most making them simply have not been here at GT Planet long enough to know exactly how accurate Amar is the vast majority of the time (if you doubt me take a dig around the GT4 sub-forum - in which he publicly broke most of the stories).
Simply put any further baseless attacks will be dealt with via the AUP and that will mean the issuing of infractions, these carry points, get to many points and you get a ban (and a heads up some infractions carry enough points to get you banned all in one go).
So take not everyone and calm down, unless you intend your membership here to be very short.
SCaff
A few thing Scaffy.
First off, ask any financial adviser and they'll tell you that past performance is not an indicator of future success. Obviously that applies here.
Secondly, it was posted ages ago and things have changed since? So your saying it was right at the time but wrong when it counts? Maybe amar should have kept it in his pants until the time was right rather than whipping it out to play the role of big man on the forum. You throw out the term fool, but as far as I remember I wasn't the one who publicized a magical prophecy, only to have it shown publicly to be BS.
Now on to your point B. You say that these baseless attacks will get us banned? Shouldn't that ultimetly-proven-to-be-bs information that amar posted get him banned by the same token? Or do you prefer to live in your fantasy world of fake information floating in the wind, while banning anyone who takes the time to convey a rational opinion?
