Gran Turismo 5’s release window has just been set to March 2010 for Japan, according to Kazunori Yamauchi at the TGS press conference. This, unfortunately, runs directly counter to everything that we’ve heard so far from a wide variety of sources for nearly an entire year:
November 30, 2008 – Sony executive in Europe mentions GT5 will “arrive at Christmas” during an interview with a financial magazine.
June 4, 2009 – Kazunori Yamauchi states: “We can release Gran Turismo 5 whenever we want.” during E3 interview.
August 2, 2009 – GTPlanet acquires internal company documents which clearly outline the date that Sony expects to release the game (and it was well within 2009).
August 22, 2009 – Kazunori Yamauchi states that “GT5 will be released shortly after this date [October 1st]” during an interview.
August 23, 2009 – Printed material distributed by Sony at the GamesCom 2009 conference clearly indicate the game will be released during the fourth quarter of 2009.
Needless to say, everyone – including myself – are pretty surprised by the most recent turn of events. Was there a problem during the game’s development? Did criticisms of the damage engine shown off at GamesCom send Polyphony Digital back to the drawing board? We may never know for sure.
See more articles on Tokyo Game Show.
LOL, we should send this whole comment list to Mr.Yamauchi and see what he thinks about wasting 6 more months on his bonsai tree, instead of GT5.
And then you wonder why PD isn’t going to make more money than Forza (or should I say Fauxza). It’s an entirely more superior game than Forza, yet they seem scared they won’t beat it. THEY’RE DIFFERENT SYSTEMS, WHO CARES, JUST GET THE PS3 PEOPLE TO BUY GT5. So instead of selling and making buckets of cash on Christmas, they’re gonna bomb it in March. WHO THE HELL BUYS GAMES IN MARCH?!?! St.Patricks day people?
Aaaaaaagh, I wanted GT5 for this Christmas. Fortunately, I have Need For Speed Shift for playing it while I’m waiting for GT5.
To EVERYONE
Look at the thread under GT5. there is a thread confirming that All cars will have mechanical damage and that production cars instead of having no damage, will get scatches on the paint! Maybe that will lift your spirits a bit.
Multiplayer.it: Will we have full Nascar and WRC championships in the game, or just the cars?
Kazunori Yamauchi: There will be full Nascar races in the game. I felt is was necessary to include Nascar in the game. Regarding the WRC championship, we have been trying to add it to series for a while now and finally, we have it. If so, there must be over 20 track!PD can include several tracks in one location.WRC tracks in real life are point to point tracks.(most) (gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=115870&page=146)
I do hope they can atleast change the AI, which has needed major editing since Gt1. The cars dont react as they are said to, they just pummel into the side of you.. Realistic driving ftw… And now 6months+ wait.. the joys of waiting for GT…

I dont understand how poeple are still protecting pd or sony (or both) for this mess. the whole pr and marketing is a farce. if they dont know how to create a buzz on a new product, they should look how apple handles such things.”
HOW THIS COULD BACKFIRE:
(The following is satire, and not ment to be taken has a personal affront to PD, Forza, GT5, Apple, Microsoft, members of this site, nor any of their affiliated:)
GT5: Hi, I’m a GT!
Forza3: Hi, I’m a Forza3!
GT5: Millions of people all over the world wait long periods of time for my creation, because I am so great. Don’t you wish people felt that way about you Forza3?
Forza3: Not really.
GT5: Surprising! Why is that?
Forza3: Well, unlike you GT, My fans know I will make them happy by the end of this year, and I won’t make them wait a half a decade between versions. I can be satisfied with that knowledge.
GT5: Dear me Forza! Isn’t that a bit of a stretch? Isn’t it true that your just fooling yourself rather than admit your obvious inferiority?
Forza3: Sure PC, er I mean GT5, whatever you say……(Mumbles something about false promises, lies, and delusions)
GT5: What’s that Forza3?
Forza3: Oh nothing. Nevermind. Say are you still hinting at a late 2009 release, or has the amusement of that worn off now?…….
LOL, I think the apple marketing could go horribly wrong. Probably should avoid it.
P.S. Sorry couldn’t resist posting this, but has soon has I read the qouted post, something like this sprang to mind, and thought I would share. Do note though, again, it’s satire, and not ment to exspress my actual opinion has to GT5, or Forza (I don’t even own an Xbox360).
We dont know releasedate in uk or us.Probably its earlier than Japan..? Never before been, but who knows.
There’s always importing the game. I don’t feel like buying the US version anymore.
personally i’d be truly happy until GT5 was released if PD would only update Prologue with Nordschleife. the only two reasons i don’t still play prologue all the time is too few people playing online in prof. physics games, and no Nordschleife. i know GT5P is just a “demo” but that one track would add more replay value and reboost the scene a bit until closer to release.
@ jonney: Lag free games will always be impossible not because of the developers but because of distance between countries its called “PING” thats the time it takes for internet data to be transmitted over net lines or satellite. BUT there is one way to counter it but at a cost, that cost will be to disable playing with other countries and only playing in your own country closer to where you live to deter it and play lag-free games. Even playing countries who have the fastest internet in the world – Korea or Japan with America it will be slow, even when Korea, Japan and America have the fastest net but it will be because the distance between each country. Search the term “PING”
i personaly feel that they are delaying it so they can add full damage on all 1000+ cars in the game andtweak the handling and colisions physics than we saw in june where the subaru was just bounching on the wall like a football.
Maybe just MAYBE PD are “listening” to us and giving us the perfect racing game?
Maybe their adding weather effects to boot?
i tell you what, if gt5 had weather effects, night and day racing, full damage on cars from cosmetic damage to interior damages on the engines etc etc. Have at least 16 player racing online, custo private lobbies run in dedicated servers, force people to use certain settings ie everyone must drive on manual in a custom lobby i create. Lag free racing. Practise, quali and race sessions all in one for online play, A tool to create your own possible custom track and last but not least, handling and physics that are as good as GTR Evo.
have all those features and i am happy to wait until 2012 for this game.
^Thread
WHAT!!! (thanks for the link zx10rking) but it says according to PD and GT.com that GT5 has under 30 tracks!!! and under 80 variations. thats sad considering the time and work PD put in to this game in the last 6 years. hope we get more tracks via download from psn.
Dan Says:I agree; this is quite frustrating as I was psychologically prepared, by this site and from SONY’s promotional material, for a Christmas release. With all of the waiting and build up, I wasn’t happy to see this.
But, I will wait. I will get on with my life knowing that Polyphony are doing whatever it takes to get the best game possible out to us, and that when it does come out, at least with six of the tracks, I will be disproportionately good at them.
Come on guys, who’s up for a bit of CoD?
Dan’s right, it’s not like GT is the ONLY game we play. there’s other awesom games out there to keep us distracted from GT. But I would like to know why they delayed it/
ill just get NFS Shift to keep me occupied till then.
How odd that since the tgs announcement, ‘game’ now have it listed for release on 09/12/2009 http://www.game.co.uk/PS3/Driving/Racing/~r342247/Gran-Turismo-5/
to all you guys who keep saying “PD are perfectionists, i’d rather them release it when it’s complete rather than release it earlier and have people complain” you have to understand that no matter when this game comes out, people are still going to complain. therefore the argument is pointless.
i’m starting to debate buying GT5 at launch unless there is at least an update to GT5P prior to it’s release, and/or a huge info bomb before TGS ends. i’ve had enough of these empty promises directly from the lead dev himself. i’m still waiting for the promised updates we’d get for GT5P from a year ago which included a damage model. PD needs to stop misleading their customers, and realize that brand loyalty only goes so far after 5+ years of waiting and deceit. time to release some concrete info *that we haven’t already heard/know* and a new demo or update for GT5P. i barely even play GT5P anymore because there’s barely anyone playing online that’s not in a beginner race. PD has to know that the longer it takes for this game to come out, the higher the people’s expectations will be, which makes it easier to disappoint. Here’s hoping PD knows what they’re doing.
So we’ve been in dev for 5 years and the game is currently 65% done, right? Hate to piss on your parade but that puts the release date some time late 2012 or early 2013. 20 tracks? Am I hearing this right? 20 tracks is a joke. Okay it’s not as funny a joke as the 3 tracks and a couple of dumb ovals that appeared in prologue but it’s up there.
I remember way back when GT1 came out. It came out of nowhere and took the world by storm. Tell you what I’m pinning more hope on some other outfit releasing somethig that blows GT5 out the water than I am on the PD’s latest turkey. Their chief is too busy running around schmoozing and PR-ing the automotive industry to give more than a passing thought to his bread and butter.
Hell he was too busy pretending he was running a teevee studio a couple of months back and look at the whirlwind success that one turned out to be. Not saying I called it at the time but, hey, I called it at the time. I think if and when GT5 comes out it’ll be adequate but nothing special. Anything new like weather or damage or whatever will be half arsed if that. PD are playing way too much catchup at this stage in the game to pull a rabbit out the hat.
All PD have ever done is very nice looking car models and tasty physics. Now they’re messing about with crap like collision physics and damage models and I’m beginning to wonder if they haven’t bitten off a bit more than they can chew. I think come march 2012 or whenever this dinosaur finally rolls off the shelves most of the cars and tracks will be premium downloadable content cos that’s what floats Sony’s boat these days and the game itself will be graphically next-gen compared to GT4 but that’s about it.
I’ll still buy it, if and when. Cos that’s enough for me but if anything else comes out in the meantime that’s worth playing (fingers crossed) I might not bother.
5 Years In Development 5 Times better Than Forza ;)
PD = LAME
Plain and simple… Sony is following closely in suit, maybe Sony execs should go slap some heads at PD and get this title out already…
Hire more people, change the management, ban Kaz from jetting around the world doing shows and shit…
Make something happen already…
Very sad what happend to us at the moment, BUT it will be better for us, in fact a better game ! 6 months guys, life goes on !
Where you read that game will be release only in JAPAN in March????? on UK.GRANTURISMO.COM I read that release date is March 2010( NOT FOR JAPAN) just March 2010 that mean maybe worldwide release date!!!!! http://eu.gran-turismo.com/gb/news/d10595.html
yeah where is the ‘major advancement’. this is the largest show for PD this year and all they come up with is a ‘major disappointment’ and a couple of measly gameplay videos? They’re basically taking center stage at TGS with that new SLS and this is all they can give us? Horrible marketing. they’re toying with us and its unbelievable. I hope they learn their lesson when sales from GT5 can’t cover their salaries for the past 5 years and they can only eat from rice boxes instead of spending time giving awards at car shows.
Sony can’t be too happy with these delays as well seeing as they were counting and predicting a holiday 2009 release of gt to bundle and boost slim sales, hopefully Sony presses for a more severe regulation of development timelines in polyphony digitals future, but on the flip side, to speed up the development process for polyphony and essentially all publishers is to include those companies in some degree in the development of their systems, I remember kaz was a bit dissapointed with being left out of ps3 development where in the past he was able o provide some input on the previous generation ps2
I am gonna get MGS4 and GT5p to compensate till march.. And in March I will get it from eBay since it won’t come here in EU till like 2011 or something..
Ordering my Xbox by now … :(
what a huge disappointment
prepare for GT5 as a launch title for PS4 upgrade to 3D and 2X 1080P
wake me up when you got the game in your hands, untill then I won’t be bothered…
I dont care how long it takes.
Id rather whip out my ps1. continualy race the sunday cup on GT1.
Then even think about playing Forza or anyother xbox game/
All these complaints about waiting over 5 years for GT5. THE PS3 WAS LAUNCHED NOVEMBER 2006!!! How can a PS3 game come out before that date??? And we did get the GT5 Prologue.
Polyphony Digital are known to be perfectionists i would prefer them take their time (no matter how long) and work toward something even more great than to release it before their perfect product is completed than to have people complain… c’mon i sure some people can level with me here this is why the Gran Turismo series is second to none, unmatched, no other series comes close, Forza – no where near, NFS – don’t make laugh at that arcade piece of shit. I guess to satisfy those die-hard GT fans in waiting probably release a free expansion on GT prologue to sate peoples impatience.
Those assholes who can’t wait PD or Kaz won’t give a fuck about because it will make fat-fuck loads of money regardless… even then those people will come back and STILL BUY IT lool
Are you married with GT? you can have another game, without feeling guilty!Gt serie is the best out there.That does not mean i dont play other games.Of course i play.DIRT 2 ,gta4 and many more.
Whatever you guys…. you say you bitch here and there, goddamn fucking everywhere and when it comes out you’ll all be like “OMG i’m so sorry kaz i said that back then… what have i done… of course GT5 is za best, i’ll never leave you again. I PROMISE!”
Btw i’m a faggot bitching about a a wee lil game, i need to get a life.
Well well…
5 friggling year on a damn game. It’s should be 4 times better than Forza then. This is just a damn failure, been waiting for years and that ugly japs Kaz, is hinting to a realese date in Q4, and says it goes out right after GT PSP. Well from now on welcome to my ignore list, GT5 can just fuck offshore with rest of PD..
And i double dare them if they are just staying silent. Aleast give us a damn update in GT5p coz it’s soo boring and ugly. 1 map and 2 cars have fun i’ll give ya the full pole in 6 years byebye… No im doing like most of them whiners here, start fanboy another car game. Like Forza or Shift or even DIRT2.
WHAT THE FUCK! People getting all emo over some video game lol…. “OWWEEE, I ISH GONNA BUY A 360 BECAUSE MOMMY KAZZ WON’T A GAMMMEYY” GROW A FUCKING PAIR, GET A FUCKING LIFE AND WAIT THE FUCK UP TILL THE COMES OUT!!
Great just great let me guess March 2010 for Jap, DEC 2010 for USA and Jun 2011 for EU
seriously this is a game it really shouldn’t be taking this long..
And where the hell are the “Major advances”?
im not angry…. personally i think theres more to this anouncement. gt 5 for japan 2010.
if you look at sales of all gt games they tend to get more sales from eu and usa. gt5 features nascar and wrc… both for american and european tastes.(sony would be crazy to miss christmas sales) i personally think gt 5 in japan 2010 to avoid ff13 in christmas sales.
psp gt is catering more for japanese tastes… with its pokemon style of collecting. to fill the void for gt fans/rpg fans till gt5 in march for japan. (over christmas 2009 what major forst party titles do sony have for eu and usa?) uncharted 2? eyepet…. and not much else. march 2010 eu and us has heavy rain, gow3, mag… and potentially gt5 and likely others…
thing is people were complaining of quality ps3 games… and now theres too many coming out at one time… (march 2010).
if you visit playstation blog usa. a date for usa and eu will be coming… i think itll be after gt psp and closer to forza 3 release for an announcement.
however i could be wrong….
at least we have gt psp to tide use over for a fair few months.. admittedly not what the majority want…but its still sure to impress.
F**k you KAZ and Sony with your gt for psp. l will buy xbox360 with forza3 for same many
it’s set for march 31st/japan
and us/eu tba soon so no need to be upset, we got a release date.
i wanted it to be released like tomorrow myself too you know , but what the hey, it’s coming.
How old are these peoples,who just crying and blaming Kaz and PD?Sounds like 5 yr old kids.Go and buy Xbox,forza, who cares.
“Gran Turismo 5 is taking so long because the Polyphony really cares about getting the game right, just be patient you guys!”
No no you all have it wrong I got the idea from George Broussard over at 3DRealms to just keep milking the investors for money while I went around the world playing race car driver. I haven’t had to work but a week in the past five years! HA HA HA HA! I am laughing all the way to my Swiss bank account! HA HA HA HA!
So what on earth was the “major advancement” that it will be released in Japan in March!?! thats 6 months away… and more than likely 8 to 10 months for everyone else, sounds more like a major delay and letdown if you ask me.. what a crock
This means I wont have to buy a PS3 before christmas now. I can wait until after christmas and pay even less when the price drops again.
Hoppefully the wippers will work in the final game
Kaz: “We can release GT5 anytime we want”
Kaz: “GT5 coming soon after GT PSP”
Kaz: “GT5 Q4 release”
Kaz is a lying sack of shit.
GT5 is THE last game i will ever buy for PS3.
I’m getting an XBox. At least i have a wide variety of racing titles to choose from that are up to par with the GT series *cough* Forza *cough*, AND have reasonable development timeframes- not to mention solid, believable release dates with no BS.
You guys say that GT will be *the* game to end all racing simulator games. Thats fine, however you’re missing the point that it won’t be shit if it never comes out. Have fun waiting.
This was a glorious, bloody war haha, I wonder whether March 2010 they mean it can be delayed by then or not Until 2010.
My own speculation: damage physics on all cars? Or bad hair day for the translator and mixed it up….
Nevertheless ill wait.. Nothing Else I can do.
Adrian
March 31st 2011
@ cauarache_GTR. kazunori = a poop head. Damn! that’s the best i have heard all day/night long. really made me laught that one did.
Man, i warned you guys previously at the germany games meeting topic it would be coming out in japan in japanese first which is why i warned it would be suitable to learn Japanese before the game came out – Read Heisigs books on “Memorizing the Hirgana and Kanakana” each of those alphabets you should master in two weeks then comes the hard part learning the KANJI… ok this one read up Heisig – Memorizing the Kanji if you manage to do about 100 kanji a day then you should be able to complete both remembering the kanji book 1 and book 3 in 9 weeks you will have to learn around 3050 kanji to have a basic understanding of it, make sure you use a program called ANKI (flash card program) to schedule memory repetitions of what you have studied over or you will forget it all very easily! When Hira, Kata and Kanji are completed (should take around 12 weeks if you did 100 per day) then go to smartfm.com and import japanese sentences into program ANKI and do about 50 sentences a day, any sentence series is ok, but i recommend Japanese Core 2000 then 6000 series (yes that rights 6000 sentences in total) then you should be able to get the VERY BASIC UNDERSTANDING of Japanese, then prolly get a japanese electronic dictionary – Canon Wordtanks or Casio EX word series are the best you have a stylus which can input kanji since their will be quite a bit enginnering and automotive terminology in GT5 obviously but those two cover all of it they have the most comprehensive database in all Specialty fields those sentences will cover learning about copulas and particles then wala.. if you start now you should be able to understand what alot says on GT5 and for the rest that you don’t just use that electronic dictionary.
study hard! 日本語はま真面目を勉強
@Adrian
March 31
Everyone keeps talking about a “release date” but so far all I see is March 2010 which isn’t a date, but more of a month. Is there an exact date set yet? Or just more delays?
@LOL
Yeah,
that says somebody whose name is: LOL,…
Gran Turismo 5 will be release for ps4
almost 24 hrs and still nothing additional about GT5. i’m beginning to think the major advancement was only the announcement of the release date which is pretty sad. i’ve barely even seen any gameplay videos worth watching from this event as of yet. the ones i’ve seen have terrible drivers and/or no sound. at least update prologue with something from a more recent build, or even just allow us to download the exact demo that’s playable at TGS seperately from GT5P. i think PD thinks a little bit too highly of themselves if they believe a “major announcement” is a release date and nothing more. i was expecting full blown feature breakdown with an in-depth dev walkthrough or something when i heard major announcement.
well drinkin on street corners with me mates until then :S
There won’t be GT6 and no PS4
At this rate GT6 will be on the PS4.
I think you guys are whining.
i question..
does this game show start everyday same time or whaa? cuase it aint done yet.
i also havent heard much about tuning options…lik actual turbo kits from specific aftermarket companies that could make the car sound different. lik between mines and hks turbo on a skylinee
wow bunch of babies and nerds.
@gt5_pro your right they are definitly “Play with us”
They say in Japan “march 2010″…
Whens it comming to US??? I dont think I want to know..
@FORZA SUKS
Well PD isn’t GOD and i have the feeling they think they are.
It’s just a game and yes it will be a great game.
But that doesn’t give them the right to play with us consumers.
What gives them the right to “play with us”?
My heart skipped a beat when i saw this… but its all good i guess. Im glad they arent rushing it. Like Slant 6 did with Socom… (but thats another story) All i know is ….. This is gunna BE the game of the CENTURY..
Look at it this way, a game that was released in the spring/late winter of 08 is the best selling PS3 game; Gran Turismo 5 Prologue!
I’ve been a huge Gran Turismo fan since the very beginning. I’ve been pretty much loyal to the franchise since its inception. But this news is very disheartening. I was expecting for it to come out this winter and this news hits. I must say i’m EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED! Three years after the PS3 has been released and still no full Gran Turismo game. I commend some of you for having so much faith in PD but frankly i’m getting sick of all these failed promises and delays. But one positive I guess is that i’ll get full use of my money when I buy Forza 3. I was just gonna play the game to tide me over until December but it looks like i’ll be completing the damn thing. lol
gran turismo is dead to me now, I won’t be buying the game. I’ll also be deleting GT5P from my PS3, you know the game that came out 2 YEARS AGO by the time GT5 is released. Sorry PD, you can keep your 5 pitstops a race, 4 lap tires, damage? no damage, outdated wrc and nascar cars, your crappy online system, your granturismo tv, your youtube upload and your very boring track selection.
6 Years to bring out one game. U n b e l i e v a b l e. During this time period, XBox and Microsuck has come out with TWO (2) T-W-O Forza titles. Kaz, you suck. I hate you Polyphony. Sony, i’m about to throw my PS3 out the window right now. I bought a PS3 three years ago specifically for GT. This is how i’m treated? Screw PD and Kaz!
For those who don’t know…Sony’s fiscal year ends March 2010. So, their 4th quarter of fiscal 2009 ends March 2010.
As other’s have said, I was beginning to expect a release this year, and sure it’s a bummer but I’m not mad or anything. Glad to know it’ll be out next year for sure. Take your time PD. No rush jobs.
are we disappointed? yes
will some of us whine? probably
will we buy the game when it finally comes out? for sure!
but what i dont understand is how some people are still backing up PD. Listen guys, they’re a company thats out to make money. So they have to delay the release in order to increase GT PSP sales. This is all marketing, and thats the bit that pisses me off. i feel like Kaz is trying his best to keep the excitment up to and get people talking about the game, but I think they have to work on thier scheduling/marketing tactics.
They’re going to come out with a great game a the end, but I think they could have definitely improved on thier delivery.
my $0.02
I am so disappointed. All this demo play and Kaz saying “we can release it anytime we want” is ridiculous..talk about hurting your fan base.
lol @ Warden the “Big advancement” was that they advanced the release date to March 2010 hahahahahahaha.
Julian, don’t forget that they said US dates released SOON! Hahahahahahahhaha
Well at least Kaz just sold a ton of Forza 3 copies and less PS3 Slims
fourth quarter? “release it anytime we want”? Big Advancement? bwhahhahhaaa KAZ is a complete idiot.
I agree with Johnnysays. It’s called fanboyisim Jonny you will always have those who will defend who they support no matter what. By the time we get GT5 Forza 5 will be out and so will the next gen systems. I find it hilarious that right on the heels of them announcing the march relase date they show more new footage of the new mercedes etc and none of us can play it. At best we have gran turismo psp (have you seen the ratings and subpar graphics that this game got) to play. I really can’t put stock in PD anymore as we have heard them say they have a product that they can release at any time to 4th Q2009 and now march of 2010 for JAPAN wich really is saying there is still NO release date for the U.S. Normally games release in japan first then here in the states sooooooo it’s a good possibility that our shores may not see this game till fall of 2010 and i won’t be surprised if that’s now the case.
“We can release GT5 whenever we want”
lmao.
im pretty sure amazon is wrong though. theyre good at doing that
well id come to terms with waiting until…………..

…
i dont get it…
I dont understand how poeple are still protecting pd or sony (or both) for this mess. the whole pr and marketing is a farce. if they dont know how to create a buzz on a new product, they should look how apple handles such things.
Ive Been Reading some comments and most of you are saying ohhh i dont wanna get it anymore or im getting an xbox so can play forza instead of this!!When this game comes and you experience the true power of it you will be saying 2 your self how f*ck*ng stupid was i to say that!!!!and im 90 % sure that most xbox and forza fanboys are gonna be a heck of lot jealous!!!
I agree; this is quite frustrating as I was psychologically prepared, by this site and from SONY’s promotional material, for a Christmas release. With all of the waiting and build up, I wasn’t happy to see this.
But, I will wait. I will get on with my life knowing that Polyphony are doing whatever it takes to get the best game possible out to us, and that when it does come out, at least with six of the tracks, I will be disproportionately good at them.
Come on guys, who’s up for a bit of CoD?
For all those yelling the “stop tearing” routine you act like we who think we are being lied to don’t have a right to be upset. Just like you justify waiting longer we also have an opinion and if it doesn’t agree with yours that’s ok. Again we were led to believe the game was being released this year sometime by the developers after waiting over 5 years for it. There really is no guarantee that we are going to get a perfect game in march but if you want to keep telling yourself that to comfort yourself then fine. I for one think it’s bs that after 5 years, sketchy details and now a false release date we are supposed to just be cool with it. At the very least we should get some kind of update to prolouge or some of the demos that they have at these game shows. This product is supported by the fans and we are paying and supporting PD for false advertisement and IMO crappy treatment of the fans. What happens if march rolls around and we get another relase date etc. I wonder how many will justify being shafted by saying it’s just that they perfected the game. Again the last gran turismo was on ps2. Ps3 is now gone slim and we still don’t have GT. I for one will be getting forza 3 and by the looks of their forums the new demo and all the support they are giving their fans I think PD needs to take notes.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkk.
I’m okay with that I was supprised by the Christmas release date. This sounds reasonable to perfect the game.
While this is disappointing, although I was expecting a spring 2010 release, and was surprised when it was first said that it would be a Q4 2009 release.
this isn’t that big of a problem for me as being in University means that have less money to spend on games, and even less time to play them. so I’ll buy another game like Cod: MW2 or AC2 and wait until March or whenever they decide to release it in NA (I’m saying this because it is most likely that it will be released in Japan a few months ahead) and anyways, I want to play with a Wheel, and can’t afford that at the moment
I think each country/ continent has a different release date.
Japan/Australia- March 31, 2010
Europe- Q4, December
North America- February 3rd 2010 (according to gamestop)
@Wolgib07 – owned an X-Box 360 for two years – bought PS3, GT Prologue, Dirt 2, NFS shift all goos shouts, Ferrari Challenge is an awesome driving game as well… and do X-Box owners have Motorstorm – i think not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cool. Aparently i didn’t wait for anything like a big advancement or so. I knew that it will come out in 2010 and for that a year ago i bought an XBOX360, but i didn’t sell my ps3 so now i don’t lose anything. If you are a racing game fan and you want to sell PS3 and buy an xbox just don’t buy XBOX, because for now there are good racing games like Dirt 2, NFS Shift, Supercar Challenge for PS3. Really Kaz and PD always had a big problem with dates and all of us know that. I think in 2010 it will come out and it will be masterpiece of a game.
@ meuhey – hear hear stop moaning – every great thing in life has it’s downfalls
wait wait it says feburary 2 now. sweet if dat means anything
hmm. kinda makes sense.
if it releases sometime in march for japan, itll be lata for us in the US. a while ago i went on a gamestop site an it said preorders ship like june?http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=75118
epic fail
ok so the game is delayed, let us not forget how many hours we spent on Gran Turismo the original on PS1 followed by each incarnation thereafter, delayed or not delayed, even if it is delayed until xmas next year, whether your p*ssed off right now or not, we’ll all still go and get it and wax lyrical to our mates who haven’t got it about how amazing it is and loose years of our lifes playing it…
just remembered, we still have 2 more days of TGS. lets hope the “big advancement” wasn’t something we totally missed from day 1.
noobs kids stop crying for a piece of facking software, they facking announced the facking release date and u kids arent happy? go buy ur xbox and forza we dont want u in gt5 next summer faggets!
Enough about the release date.
There are FIVE things I want in GT5;
– Toyota Supra TRD 3000 GT
– Red Rock Valley Circuit
– Porsche!
– Atleast ONE racetrack from Australia
– Special Stage Route 23?! Like to see them Introduce a new one. :D
Sorry to inform you that I will be pushing back my purchase of PSP GT5 until March maybe June 2010
Just i thought, (yes, I was one of those sceptics who dont belive in 2009 release, but hoped for) GT5 will be released in 2010. By me it is fine (even if I want it now!!), and they (PD) never had pressure from Sony to release it on specific time and every GT is released when it is finished, and that is what I want.
To conpare this with modding scene on PC (I’m sure there is some of you know what I’m talking about). Best mods require many time to make it (smetimes years, GTx5 for (F1C)rF, anyone?). Patience always pays.
I just hope that there will be more solid and concrete news about GT5 that will atleast have us to know what we can hope for (and also hope that few thing let for surprise).
And to end this with one word: PATIENCE.
(True) GT fans will always welcome game, no matter when it come…
…and in the end for all rest of you guys (and girls ;) ) there is plenty games and racing games to play with, …and other things beside games in general
Long live Gran Turismo!!!
Who’s happy now? its the PD engineers.. :D
loosen up the deadline a bit. :D
ralph89 –
You nailed it with that one. I wonder if Turn 10 has staged this as well? Free DLC in the form of a Ferrari perhaps, if you post in this article?
Seriously, to all of those overdramatic/passionate Gran Turismo fans that have become this emotionally unstable over a 3 month delay and threaten not to purchase GT5…
… I don’t believe you.
You, along with millions of others will be playing GT5 once it arrives.
And if you don’t fall in either category?
Get a grip. It’s just a video game..
Okay, first of all for you guys saying “I don’t know what everyone is upset about, we have a solid release date only 3 months after we thought we were gunna get it.” Yeah, if anyone thinks that March 2010 is a solid release date they’re retarded.
One of two things is going to happen:
#1 – The game really is done, but they dont wanna release it because sony wants us gt fanboys to go out and buy a psp and gt psp to hold us over until gt5 is released. It only makes sense to hold back gt5 from being released so they can sell more crap people wouldnt normally buy. I think a lot of gt fans on here would skip the psp verison and just get gt5 if it came out Christmas 2009. And they know this. So March 2009 might be when it comes out, it might not. I figure if thats what they had planned, and the game REALLY was finished, then they would give us an exact date (e.g. march 14, 2010) whatever.
#2 – They are still not done with this f’ing game. And the so-called “solid” March 2010 date will approach and……. surprise…. 3rd quater 2010 release. And round and round we go. It could be pushed back into oblivion. Hell, the PS4 might be around the corner by the time you can actually pick up a copy.
I consider myself a die-hard GT fan. I bought a PS3, HDTV, and later, a G25 specifically with GT5 in mind. I thought, “okay it’ll be out next year sometime I’m sure, I’ll just play some resistance until then.” Then GTP comes along…. “ok, this will hold me over until the full release of gt5 is out, it must be coming soon.” We are kept leading to believe that its coming out soon over and over again, that there will be so many revolutionary features, and as far as I can tell its bullshit. I’ve been waiting for 5 years for this vaporware of a game to come out, and no joy. Like I said before, a game is only good to anyone if they can actually play it.
I really really hate to say it, but it looks more and more like I should have bought a 360 instead. IMHO forza cant hold a candle to GT, but at least you have a game to play. Pardon me… nearly 3 games to play.
Yeah, reading the march 2010 release in japan only was a bit of a shock, NOT the way i wanted to start off my morning… At least we get a demo of Forza 3 today, and a release in about a month
lets hope there’s a world wide release. cuz i mean common, 6 years+ for a game, what a joke.
they can take as long as they want
the funniest thing is…………….. granturismo 5 will out sell any other game whenever its release, jus hate the wait…
Forza fanboys attacking, again! Lmao. Anyway i’m a bit disappointed waking up this morning and saw the news 2010 release in japan, but TGS is still not finish there’s plenty of announcement to come.
that sucks
u know what i realise? even if a 2009 release for gt5 in japan we in north america and europe wouldnt get it till 2010 anyway…… so 2009 was always outta the question.
boo hooo hoooo…pop your mom’s titty out of your little cry baby mouths
PD is doing fine. it’s not like we elected them to create games for us…they are artists…you can’t rush a masterpiece. fuck all you little sissy bed wetters
Bye bye Tamagichi with your PD en GT5…You just lost me…
*sigh* All this hype (and all the sources, too) come to nothing.
Also, remember this is Japanese release. If Prologue tells us anything and knowing PD it’s that we probably won’t get GT5 in Europe until 2011 -_-
how many breakboxes have you gone through?
By March 2010 my PS3 will have the “YLOD”
whiney little bitches
I blame Head Tracking
Oh well.. back to GT5P
Looks like im going to buy GT5P too quench my thirst. I was being patient until christmas time thinking GT5 will come out around there, but now it’s march I can’t wait that long.
“….6 years and still no game its PATHETIC.”
The PS3 was launched November 2006 (GT5 was never meant for PS2). And we DID get the GT5 Prologue. Although PD should keep releasing updates on that and we would be happy to wait….
Can we all just forget aboute gt5 until after christmas now and just let PD get it finished.
Duke Nukem Forever anyone?!?! I’m willing to bet a Christmas 2010 release for USA and Europe. All I got to say to PD is F*** Y**, I’m buying a 360 with Forza 3 and probably Forza 4 before GT5. Enough is enough.
march 2010…
Childs born when GT4 gone out will be able to play GT5, it’s crazy!!
Japan in March ? EU when ? :(( :mourn:
Ahahahahha i did ROFL when i read this.
I mean come on 6 years and still no game its PATHETIC.
Christmas 2009 was going to be the ultimate showdown between Forza and Gran Turismo…except Polyphony backed down and ran from the fight.
You can argue all you like about that is but ultimately all that will be remembered is that Gran Turismo lost its crown in the most pathetic way possible.
And to all the people who are pretending they are relieved the game won’t be coming out till next summer: Grow Up. Polyphony could not deliver and that failure is not something you should be happy about.
“Major advancement” announcement for GT5: Major delay. Thank you for visiting TGS and goodbye.
What a disappointment …
@Corrado
Ya, I was just thinking the same thing. When in doubt, ask Jordan.
I am disappointed but for some reason I always had a feeling we wouldn’t see the game this year. It isn’t that long until December and there was just so little confirmed info and gameplay footage that looking back, it was clear it was still a long way from completion. I think Kaz was slightly misquoted when he said ‘we can release the game whenever we want’. I don’t think he meant the game was finished and it could be released whenever, I think he meant that he will release the game when it is ready, whenever that might be. Also you can’t say it has taken this long to get to 65% so how can you finish the game in 6 months. That only works if the percentage is based on the time and not on the features thay want to include. If you have a list like make all the cars, make all the tracks, add a small feature and you complete the first 2 which might take ages but then the last bit is quite quick, it depends how Kaz sees it I guess. Anyway i’m off to look for a new birthday present now it isn’t coming out in December!
don’t forget to claim your SuperCar Challenge demo redeem code before leaving please.
http://www.system3beta.com/
Thanks Kaz and PD.I don t understand this negative atmosphere here.GT5 going to be the biggest driving game ever.Few months..Isn t it worth of waiting? I think it is.
Personally I think Polyphony had too much on their plate lately besides the GT games development. Since the release of GT4, it has expanded from basically a 1-game developer into the fields of industrial design (Multi-function display on the NISSAN R35 GT-R), car design (Citroen GT), TV production (GT TV specials), driver-training (GT Academy) and PR for the car manufacturers/shows. Maybe their (human) resources are stretched a bit too thin. Maybe Yamauchi San should spend less time all around the world attending shows/races/factory tours and even more time in his office to concentrate on getting the game finished.
I just would like to know the reasons for the release date. What is PD planing to improve? Are they really gonna add weather system to the game? Will we be able to race on the same circuits at different time of day?
@eternal
Dude, You really need to work on your english.
I barely understand what you wrote…
And if You dont know english, use uncle google translator, he will do the job for you.
Where was this promised “Major advancement”?
Will there be any more Gran Turismo 5 news or was that it?
Dude… I was hoping to play it during this end of the year vacations… disappointing.
Guess it time to get GT5P…
I think kaz has finally realized that ps3 is not powerful enough for his wicked standard :)
maybe there is no GT5 after all….
Next year TGS is going to b “GT6 Prologue” on Playstation4 =) wahuhauwahuwhauhawuhwuwa
Damnit kazz !!! it’s been way for too loong…..
I hate to play the NFSShit …. way too many bugs its a jumbo crap with cute graphics….
It’s all good. Patience is a virtue! There are plenty of games to keep us happy in the mean time…For sure.
maz is going to be interviewed by game spot i think so we will know what went wrong also jordan is right people said the damage model is bad so kaz said it is the first step so i knew then we will be waiting again and i ‘d rather wait then download god for nothing time wasting memory wasting dlcs so pd take your time there are a lot og good racing games like dirt and shift to ocuupy us
WOT!!!!!!!!

Jordan, will there be some more conferences and so on about GT5. I mean TGS will go another 3 days, this can’t be all.
@ dalejrfanfreak
Very well said, my friend. People really do need to calm down…..like…..a lot….but whatever.
Sure, I have nothing against Forza….but maybe not like a lot of you commenters, I don’t have the extra cash to blow on a 360, Forza 3, and Live support.
I’ll wait til March to get my GT5, with FREE online services, thank you very much. I know patience will pay off in the long run.
Good things come to tho’s who wait :)
gt psp will keep me going for a bit !
games like nfs,shift and the rest of the so call sim games out are pants!
i think gtp still feels alot better and thats not really classed as a full game!
anyone who says there giving up on gt5 will be eating there own words when it come out !
dalejrfanfreak just summed it up perfectly. I seriously can’t belive the immaturity of more than half the comments. Some people just need to grow up ( we’ve put up with delays from PD before right?)
Also don’t flame PD for the delay, blame the fucking speculaters and online retailers producing random release dates out of their ass(yes im looking at you Play.com)!
Everyone just needs to calm the fuck down and live with it, you can switch to Forza all you like but when March comes I’ll be having much more fun than you playing a superoir game!
have you guys seen this vid yet?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETk6YHBd5Cw&feature=player_embedded#t=27
I’ve worked in the software industry for the past ten years. I’ve lost count how many release cycles I’ve been a part of. I couldn’t begin to imagine spending half of my career on a single release. I think PD fails with setting any sort of reasonable milestones for themselves. They would have been much better off releasing something this year. They do beautiful work and I love GT5P but they try to do way too much in a single release.
I think when GT5 finally ships it is going to be amazing but I suspect it will be the last time PD has the best console sim available. Shift was a good try and perhaps the next iteration will be even better. Forza 4 on the next level of XBOX hardware will most likely surpass GT5 and probably will happen in 2012 or 2013. Only two to three years after we get our hands on GT5.
the winds are starting to blow etc…. :D
Thank God Forza 3 is almost here…at least they release games on time…
with every time displacement they set the bar higher! I hope they dont blow it…
Obv no1 listened to what The Masfer said “I’m in Tokyo and the fuss is big because the translater got it wrong kaz said the game will be released within the next 6 months so the translator thought he meant in 6 months time and said march. It’s kaz messin with us again. He’s saying it could be tomorow or it could be march.”
So kindly read messages before complaining. And also if PD are delaying it can only be for a good reason.
Well another 6 months…….. What if i dont survive to that day? And 20 tracks only?? Im dissapointed!
This is marketing crap.
Fuuu sony i bought ps3 to play GT and now suddenly you can wait because ps3 slim sells well.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUU.
ALL GT5 FANS,
There is a reason for the March release.
They want to make sure that the game is complete so “YOU DON’T COMPLAIN ABOUT WHAT YOU DON’T LIKE”.
And this is a game like no other.
Shift, Forza, Ferrari Challenge etc, are all just racing games for beginners and that’s why it takes them only 1-2 years to make, and how you dare comparing them to GT.
There is a reason why they call it The Real Driving Simulator.
Finally to wrap this up,
PD wants to avoid criticism and bad reviews, so there is a big reason why they postponed.
Even if it was released on December, we are talking about only 3 months later not 1 year.
And we might get another patch until March.
@Everyone.
March 2010 is still in the Q4 2009 of Japan’s fiscal year.
jesus what an comments. So much
Oh god… this whole GT5 developing is turning out to be biggest fail in gaming-history!
I’m really now thinking that they have some major problems with PS3-platform. It’s not secret that all developers ‘hate’ to do games to PS3… I dont know why, cause programming aint my thing, but that must be the reason.
What really disappoints me too is, that when I look list about things we already know about GT5, I only see GT4 with littlebit better Graphics, Online, and few more cars. :(
just watched a video of gt5 at tgs on you tube it shows lambo gallardo,ferrari enzo and 458 italia,citroen gt,slr mclaren,dodge viper,corvette amd audi r8 the car being driven is the ferrari 458 italia
I wonder what Sony thinks of this as I am sure they have poured a ton of money subsidizing what they hope is a game that will sell a lot of systems only to not have it ready for several Christmas’ in a row. KY might have a great vision and standards but at the end of the day you do have to deliver and from a business perspective he is more and more coming across as a flake in that regard. I can see Sony requiring tighter control on the process for GT6 and probably insisting that someone that is more of a taskmaster be given more of the authority to direct the project than KY and hopefully this won’t hurt that product as a result.
From a personal perspective I’m less disappointed about the March 2010 release date (that’s for Japan, US and Europe will be later) than the fact that Polyphony and KY have actively been setting our expectations of a pending release with their statements and actions. Surely if they were that behind in schedule KY would be back at the office taking care of getting the product completed rather than jet setting to numerous public appearances promoting the game.
Oh well I guess I will focus on tuning my cars in NFS:Shift so they don’t bounce all around the track. It actually is a pretty fun game despite the glitches and bugs and there is supposed to be a patch later this week for the PS3 that will fix many of the annoying issues with this game. Unlike GT5P you can find a lot of competition on-line and their servers seem to be up an running without disconnect errors as well. I wish Forza 3 would support my G25 wheel as that is the only thing stopping me from getting a 360 and checking that out as well.
Perhaps the best way to cope with what is going on with GT5 is to ignore it. Maybe we can rename this site to NFSplanet until GT5 is an available product?
Didn’t see anyone had posted this, but it is going to be released march 31 in Japan as per the official PS blog. To be honest, I am worried about Sony being so specific about the Japan release date and not the States or the EU…. I wonder if it means we won’t see a release over here until the fall.
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/09/tgs-09-motion-controller-details-other-new-info/
I’m guessing a lot of people would agree with me on this…
Why can’t they just give us a date and speak the truth so it saves us the disappointment – cut all the bull. Then people know what to expect and won’t let people down.
I would have settled for a March 2010 release date at gamescom or even earlier this year. I just hate the lies.
I hope Kaz explains himself and clears up…
“Q4 release date”
“it’s finished. I can release it whenever I want”
“major advancement at TGS”
“it will be released soon after then [October 1st]”
I just feel the need to say that I appreciate GTP’s efforts to remain skeptical and only announce the news that comes from credible sources. Having seen the same information Jordan was presented, I was led to the same conclusion. The facts is we just got duped, and it’s a little frustrating. I appreciate a reliable source of GT news Jordan, and thanks for all you do. This is one of my daily sites. Shoot, I’ve been on three and four times a day from my mobile in anticipation.
Mildly disappointed, but I feel it’s still rather realistic and reasonable. (Maybe I’m one of the charitible bent by admitting that.) If it shows with 1000 cars, a load of new tracks, working online interface without issues all on the first chip without a glitch, I would say it would be worth the wait. HOWEVER if it shows and the wait wasn’t warranted (300 cars, few new tracks, pitifuls sounds, etc) I will sorely be angry for the premium I’m going to be paying to play.
Will my allegiance to the GT franchise flag? No. I’m in for a penny, in for a pound. I have purchased or recieved each copy of the game ever made and beat each one. I feel that they are the top of the business and each product released has very few disappointments finallized, which is fairly impressive for any series.
I think letting comments such as “We can release when we choose” is a bit of a bad play however. A worse play I feel is everyone abandoning ship on just a few extra month’s wait.
March is not far away, you guys are ridiculous. Go to the gym, get a girl friend, do something to keep busy. No one is owed this game.
i bought my ps3 in 2008 only for GT5, ok its great to watch blue ray films but come on.
since then i was waiting to play GT5, because the prologue gets boring….
if the game realy comes out in 2010 lol — thats just like Duke nukem forever :D
AT LEAST GIVE US “THE RING” FOR PROLOGUE !!!!!! then i am fine with waiting!!
NORDSCHLEIFE OLE OLE OLE
the other is “Gran turismo5’ferrari 458 gameplay tgs 09′ true hd quality” type in exactly like that.
Thank you PD and Kaz. I dont understand this negative atmosphere here.Gran Turismo 5 will be the biggest driving game ever.Isn t it worth of waiting? i think it is!
Changes happen every day and if they had to push back the release then they have their reason and as Jordan said, we may never know for sure. It only saddens me that Forza fanboys will be all over those who play Gran Turismo but again, one thing is for sure, more time developing means a better quality product at the end. I’m not a Fanboy for either side. In fact, I bought a PS3 for Gran Turismo 5 and a Xbox for Forza 3. I even got a racing wheel for both – G25 and recently ordered a fanatec wheel. It’s PD’s call here. It’s sad that they’ll be releasing the game after the biggest months in the industry. They’re sure going to lose money but the final product will be a master piece of engineering and hard work. Looking forward to any updates and I’ll sure be playing the game, even if it releases Q3 of 2010.
Anthony
Why you guys dont get it? THEY COULD RELEASE GT5 TODAY AND THEN UPDATE IT WITH FUCKING DLCS
What a bunch of babies… “booo hooo, I am use to getting everything I want in life”. Some advice: grow a pair, play with yourself for the next 6 months, and then boom GT5 releases. win win.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIbnZl277ys this looks great
Just seen a clip on youtube in hd of the ferrari 458 in the pits with the new camera angles and pit crew,wating it head onto the track and race againt a zr1,viper acr ,slr, Gt by citroen lp560, enzo,audi r8. you can see the driver changing gears and using his feet and as for the graphic DAMN… CG MY A$$(Name of the clip on you tube is “TGS 09 Gran turismo 5 ferrari”).
People should remember that this is a game after all. Not a reason to go ape shit crazy over a few months more, we’ve been waiting for a long time so what’s a few more months? Calm down, damn! Also, import people! ;-)
check this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T751E4eXHZQ
hey just wondering why there isnt any more new videos or pics??
I am certain european release will be the last, by august 2010.
They should just release it at the very end of the PS3 cycle so that they can create GT6 for the PS4!! Freaking unbelievable, 6 years to create a game! For this amount of time, they should leave NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING out of this game, it had better have everything we all want in it. Obviously I am being sarcastic, but this game better be flawless.
Guys it is a big game. Be patient. One year will fly fast, just think how cool this game will be and you’ll be happy to wait. It cannot fail, Polyphony Digital never failed to deliver a good game.
6 more months before its released? You guys act as if we had a set release date! Even if the game was suppose to be released in OCT, then that would be 6 months. Or if was suppose to be release in NOV, well thats 5 months. Or DEC, if it gets release towards the end..well thats 4 months to wait.
I don’t know where you guys are getting 6 months from. We should be happy to know that the game should be near perfect. Who knows maybe those whole thing was a conspiracy anyways. May they are really listening to us and reading our feedback. If you ask me, I was not very impressed with their ‘damage’ modeling. Back to square one?
Maybe they leaked the game features over the summer for a reason. I mean, who says that those are the officially features? I think I would rather have a game that has more market research, that has more care and more adaptability to our needs.
No one should be disappointed, since there was no initial release date. If anything we should be thrilled that they care a lot about how the game fairs. This is their flag ship for the next decade.
“Well the sceptics were right. Oh well. This to me just means they are not going to shortchange themselves and have a game come out that is rushed in any way shape or form.
More power to them. I’m glad they aren’t forcing it out. Whats another 6 to 8 months anyway? Live your life and don’t hinge your happiness upon the release of a piece of software.
After all, they are the ones providing us this entertainment through their own blood sweat and tears. It isnt for those like me, the consumer base, to demand them to release it before they feel that it meets their standards. I know we’ll see a lot of bellyaching on this thread over this piece of news, but I for one (and I know I’m not the only one, as I alluded to in the beginning of this post) am happy that they’re taking every bit of time they need to get a product out they know people will be satisfied with.”
I know Matt, but the problem is that people and reviewers are gonna be more critical on the game. Gonna pin point negatives the size of an ant. The scary thing is that Polyphony may leave something out that is basic on all racing games. I hope they produce an awesome product.
saddest news in a while. i must buy psp an play on gran turismo psp to kill waiting time
Fuck it! don’t come saying no release date was given! 2009 was the moment! hate all those fanboys, not critizicing PD for this low punch… I love GT series, but i’m no idiot and will not allow being treated like one.
AT LEAST, AS MINIMUM, THEY SHOULD GIVE ANOTHER GT5P UPDATE, LAST UPDATE WAS A YEAR AGO, AND THEY STILL HOLD THE FINAL GAME FOR ANOTHER 6 MONTHS? PD DID NOT GAVE GT5P FREE, WE BUYED IT, IT’S A FAIR SMALL GAME WITH NO FEATURES, AND THEY FORGOT ABOUT IT A YEAR AGO.
this is not the way to proceed.
European PlayStation Blog confirms date as March 31st in Japan, with European date “to be announced in due course.” http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2009/09/24/tgs-09-motion-controller-details-other-new-info/
what acually was the big advancement ? it would be smart to release some good news as to why the game is delayed.
@ Jordan OMG! Thank you!!
Ok well i knew it. By the way I found a new video :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWoDXx99fvM
Get over it brothers GT is like a religion have faith in KAZ :)
Just got back from college expecting a release date to get happy about, but no, March 2010! :'(.
How can it take nearly 6 years to make a video game!…Unless GT5 just blows me away then maybe it’ll be worth the wait.
whatt? 2010 ? i cant believe it !
65% completed? thats still alot of work to do!!!!!
tbh…prepare for more delays to come in the future!
Just like I said last year; if longer we wait for GT5, the better it will be.
Very bad news…I now feel that the game will come out later than march 2010. Perfection does not exist in video game developpement, it’s a dream that never came true in whole indistry. It reminds me Duke Nukem Forever too.
Wait, did I understand clearly, GT5 is coming in 2010?
Almost 200 comments, insane.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1omAqoSv08
ferrari gp
Delays Delays Delays……
Maybe 4th Quarter 2009 is in US?
Japan Later Right?
Let’s hope so
whats the “big advancement”.
jordan im a girl does that apply to me as well?? coz u said guys not girls!!
well, i should have seen THIS coming. I’m still not getting a 360. no games worth mentioning. Realize the interview, when KY said, “We can release it whenever we want.” Realize that this is what he wanted. Maybe it’s for the 5th anniversary of GT4?
ooooook fuck PD, I’m gonna buy x360 and fm3 this christmas….
Im actually pretty happy with this date. We now have a clear date for it. It will be here around march 2010. Now they could bring it up but that might be kinda bad. You see they already have GTPSP coming out next week(YAY) and i think they want to see those sells before GT5.
Also with GoD 3 coming out the same month,it will be the power month for Sony and PD can actually still do more with the game. Guys if you are true GT Fans this should not be a suprise and you know that PD will not dissapoint us.
Yeah what he said
I must admit this is very disappointing news, I was one of the guys who had always said it would be released in early 2010, but a few months of newsleaks, misinformation and perhaps misinterpretation has lead me to get my hopes up that perhaps I would be playing GT5 before Christmas and that it would be awesome.
But this has been PD’s track record for more than a decade and I though I am deflated, I assure you guys that it will probably happen again next year and the release will be pushed back another 6 months.
GT PSP will keep me occupied for all of 2 hours – no career, and graphically no different to GT4, only with a few new cars thrown in for good measure.
And GT5 hasn’t been in development for 5 years, some people forget the 12 months it took for GTHD, the 2 years it took for Prologue, the 12 months of Prologue focus, the development of GTPSP. To be serious, I think that GT5 has really only been a core focus of PD in the last 18 months, so the gestation time is a lot closer to perhaps two and a half years…
Whatever the case, it better be good.
Futher to my comment do they realise the damage potental by delay’s like this cause here because more people are going to go out and buy the 360 and forza.
I Do think polyphony are going to get this inch perfect because I think it could lose Sony more money if it’s not.
i think what Sony should do is not to rely to much on GT as its official racing game. i think they need to make a new franchise racing game same like Project gotham in 360. they have two racing games we only haev one exclusive racing game( motorstorm is not a simulatio this is not included and that game was not great)
We ps3 fans always rely on GT franchise for racing games we need a new one.
28 February 2010: GT5 coming Christmas 2010!
Christmas 2010: GT5 is almost ready, we will release it shortly, in about 2 years.
Its not all bad. It means we can spend some time on Modern Warfare 2. Thats going to be huge as well.
Im still a little ticked off though.
Ah well, don’t beat yourselves up about lads, the way I see it it gives me an excuse to buy an xbox360 and play Forza till GT5 is ready :-)
I would think the Forza Dev team will be jumping up and down for joy at this news, as I can imagine the Forza 3 sales will go through the roof now :-)
Nice one PD
Prepare for this news next year , “It will be a launch game for PS4, upgrade to 3D at 2X 1080p.” hahaha !$$#@!#!!!! BS PD!
i guess the winds are starting to blow… and all that stuff. :D
seriously is there a chance that they release GT5 in the west in late 2009 since japan will get FFXIII in december ?
I must say, as an huge Gran Turismo fan I am not ‘surprised’ by this news rather very disappointed. I did get my hoped up for a release date this year and at the least I was hoping to find out more information about the game from TGS other than a leak of live pit crews. I wont be running to Forza, but this has certainly been a huge blow.
This is definitely gonna put a negative side to my anticipation, as adding another 3 months to my already lenient expectations is pushing the limit.
But hey, I’m buying the game no matter what. Let’s just hope for their sake, they deliver big time. Otherwise I believe both Forza and GT fans alike are gonna rip them a new one.
makes sense, if 2009 release for gt5, gtpsp wont sell, why didnt i see this. my forza friends gonna have a field day on me.
Im not happy that some ramdom “JOE” can post some comments on here in the pure intent to wind people up and there not even a member of GTP.
Personnally iv been waiting for three years now for GT5, im about ready to go back to gt4 and stuff GT5 for good now. I know the game will be great should it ever reach the shelfs but they should stop showing us bits of it and just get on with making it.
I can’t believe how worked up people are getting,
I’m really not surprised to hear the date, they always end up pushing their games back.. ie. GT4.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it got pushed back even further.
People have such high expectations for this game.
Don’t get so exited, and just wait patiently until the game comes out.
If you set your expectations too high, your just gonna end up disappointing yourself.
I for one will enjoy grid and gtr evo for the time being, and the day that GT5 hits the shelves, I’ll be happily playing it in my basement =)
might as well make GT5 a PS4 exclusive. what a JOKE
“We can release Gran Turismo 5 whenever we want.”
Thats where KY needs to shut his mouth!
Hi Jordan, there is two HD videos of the new Ferrari 458. The cockpit video shows the pit crew at the end.
http://www.gamersyde.com/news_tgs09_gt5_ferrari_gameplay-8561_en.html
Total bullshit, but I called it. I never believed for a second Yamauchi leading us all on with ‘I can release it whenever I want’ they were just saying that because they knew Forza 3 was coming out this year and they have raised the bar so damn high and done it in half the time.
Why have they dragged their feet so much while Turn 10 schools them on how to release games consistently? because Sony has given that studio too much freedom and because of GTPSP.
I know the Yamauchi fanboys love seeing him driving supercars around tracks but I would rather if HIS LAZY ARSE WORKED ON MY GT5.
GT5 is gonna be great when it comes out, but really now its releasing next year its off my radar. We have a great simulation coming out to consoles this year and its called Forza 3 and I am going to have a huge holiday playing that game which will be the game of the year for racing fans.
So really i’m not losing anything since i’m gonna be playing Forza 3 which I have a feeling apart from the amount of cars is going to be a far better sim anyway..
Seriously, why’s everyone so upset?
This is not the first time that Poly delay the release date…
GT3, GT4 were all delayed (not sure about 2)
It’s more like a tradition now.
But I will still buy 5 regardless…
Never thought this 2009 release would really happen. I guess people were just too hyped over here and now get massively disappointed.
March 2010 Japan means probably close to summer 2010 for EU and maybe US :(
That is shocking, what a disapointment.
Actually, 2 disadvantages I see here. 1.) The delay of the release of GT5, yet they show or feature the contents to the public so much has led to “Other” games have “Copied” them already. You see now many racing games with detailed cockpit view. 2.) With the relation to the first, GT5 now has exchanged places with the “Other” games. It seems that GT5 is chasing the technology the contents of the other games. Yes, they will release GT5 somewhere 2010 March (We do not know really.) Just try to imagine. Kaz: “We now officially release GT5 Yaaahhhh!!!” But then, there’s already “Nothing New” about GT5 to make people say WOW! Yes, maybe the abundance of car selection.. maybe. The Lambos? the Ferraris?… What? nothing new. The visuals? Sound? the 3D? Waaaay back when around 3-4 yers ago, the cockpit thing was like.. WOW! Now what? ~SIGH~ Not wise, not wise… The game is what I call: Over Cooked. AND, before that… GTPSP is also a disappointment Big time. I think time is really against them, thus, they made a bad move with GTPSP. What a Sad day it is today. ~SIGH~
lol. You guys know March is only 3 months later than the expected December release, right?
I said I will and im going to do it,
im smashing my ps3 up and gt5 P and sending it to sony and polyphony in bits
Truth be told i knew 09 was an impossible dream. I like most of the fans of GT are a bit dissapointed but well there is nothing else we can do about it now. I won’t bash on PD but gt5 was one of the reason i got the ps3 over the xbox, i love driving games and knowing that a pretty solid comptetitor like F3 is on the horizon i think i just might give in get a 360 arcade and enjoy a game made by developers who actually want people to play their game and have fun. I respect PD and the work they put into Gt is immense but in a real world perspective they are taking way too long.
Lol so much hatred for PD and Kaz, it’s not like it’s a life or death matter maybe some of you guys should re-evaluate your stance on the game’s release date.
I just hope the delay makes the game just that bit sweeter to me.
360 and forza it is then
i think most people here have forgotten, that GT5 will be released on a PS3! As many of us know, PS3 has a lot more system power than a PS2. PS3 can do much more than a PS2 and PD needs to take time to release a “perfect” game and to put out the full potential of the PS3. If GT5 would be made for PS2, it would be released long time ago… So its normal that it would take longer. Stay tuned people it’s not the end of the world. :)
Why are you guys acting so surprised? GT 4 was pushed back a whole year, and they cut features like multiplayer. I didn’t expect anything less from GT5. It was always going to be 2010 though. But don’t sweat it. We’ll just have to wait like everyone else
What worries me more, is the state of the damage and cockpit. Will it be on every car or whats the deal?
new ferrari in game footage from tgs. cockpit view. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sV-HrlDXoH8
All right, where is the major advancement? One new car model?

Good points “Dalejrfanfreak”,And by the way that lil clip of that slr and lp560 was crazy!!! i need to see those two and the 458 on that “mysterious” track that was on yesterdays post . And Jordan and thanks for taking the timeout to put this info on here because i seen other GT5 sites and there very lame!!! keep it up and Good work pimp’n!, I know Kaz diddy be sneaking up on here reading this with a copy of roseta stone lmao!
I hate to say it but like others I am starting to get frustrated at all these delay’s.
JUST RELEASE IT !!!!
This is not the news I was hoping to read today.
But hey…, life goes on !
Thats very weird… it took 5 years to to get to 65% even if they worked on the psp version half of the time(2 1/2 years) they will not be able to finish it in 6 months….i think thats a front for that face that sony just sold 1 million ps3 slims in 3 weeks,and they want to use the christmas holiday to try to get as many sales in without releasing the game…especially with the economy in the shape that it’s in(THANKS “W”).And also to give the psp sales a boost,Because the majority of us who already have ps3 and are waiting on the game will not pay the psp any attention (@ least for a while) once the full version of GT5 comes out.My opinion once this game come out all other racing games like it (and im not calling names) will be “Cup Coasters”.Like i said 65% is a long way from a 100%,And if the game was so far behind why is he jet setting around the world like P-Diddy… Honestly if you were in his shoes woulndn’t be working on this as hard as you can or @ least more than average?, Lately we have been seeing him looking @ & test driving cars and then a couple of days later “BAM! look whats in GT5”, I thought it took like 6 months to make on car? For the record im not a FANBOY i like many car games (even if i dont care for the system that it runs on)Its just not adding up to me ,I hate to say it but i think the game is already completed… Sony isn’t ready to take the collar off of there grand champion pitbull yet…
GT5 is dead. Seriously, everything I have seen and heard so far lets me doubt it was worth buying that PS3 for 600€ only for GT5. Even loyal fans do not want to wait forever.
Even more dramatic, the footage we have seen until today is FAR from what I expect. The problem is, there was no info on day-night cycles, dynamic weather changes or at least rain after all, no word on improved AI, still no indication for rubber on track and if the damage modell they showed will not change dramatically, there is a high percentage GT5 will fail. Moreover now we only have 20 locations and maybe not even a worldwide release, after 5years of development? Japan in march 2010?
C’mon. This is the TGS! I hope we hear something spectacular after all!
You can’t shit on your fans that often. It’s obvious a lot of things went wrong with the development of GT5. The competion is stronger than ever and GT5 will face a difficult time. Maybe not in sales, but the respect for the franchise is gone. I personally think Kaz is a naive idiot and liar. I think this is a legitime statement, after all the frustration. It’s time to take the blinkers off!
what a horrible nightmare to wake up to :(
I bought a PS3 pretty much at launch mostly on the basis that I had heard GT5 was in the works, a couple years went by and nothing then we basically get a glorified demo Prologue that we have to buy, and now they throw out a mediocre hand held gt game, I have no desire whatsoever to play GT on the psp let alone buy one. I think Kaz really needs to learn to keep his mouth shut during interviews when asked about release dates etc cause quite frankly I think he has NO idea what he’s talking about.
ehhh… we’ll wait… in the meantime we’ll play Need for Speed Shift, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and Uncharted 2 Amongst Thiefs.
However, I would have never stated comments like release in December so and so and then release the game in March. It is not fair on consumers.
I’m disappointed, however, please guys we are not kids, our lives cannot revolve around a game.
@ Matthew
You like bashing people right ?
Are you feeling yourself superior then others and have the need to bang your opinion in every ones head who says he’s disappointed ?
You made your point, no need to state it again and again and again.
Stop your freaking cat fight and grow up yourself!
ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS!
http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/2879/yamauchiinterviewmultip.jpg
Bit gutted for the extra 4 months wait over my expected December release…
Still gives me a chance to perfect my G25 skills on GT5:P and I’m away for Christmas so would’ve missed 2 weeks of GT… not anymore!
C.

peace
Well, my first page visit of the day, and I have to say, it’s bitterly diappointing given the recent hype around a 2009 date. I know nothing is set in stone until the thing releases, but what’s worse is, that March 2010 date is for Japan – what about US, Europe, and ROW?
I “almost” regret selling my phat PS2 to pay for a slim, when I could have saved a bit and got an Xbox 360 with two controllers and a copy of Forza III for the same money. I can still get one if I want, but I don’t really want two main consoles.
Oh well, back to the waiting and anticipating game…
Guaranteed to increase Forza 3 sales this. Very disappointed
I’ve been stalking GTP for quite a while since 2 or 3 years ago and I thought I should voice out as a GT fan on this matter. Actually I’d be satisfied with the game if PD releases it at this current point of time. What they’ve done now is already enough to leave the fans saying “Yes, this is what I’ve been waiting for”. But now with the delay in release date yet again, I really hope they’ll make up for the disappointment in the fans by producing a game that’s beyond perfect. To be honest, I got a little tired of waiting and all anticipation was lost when I saw MARCH 2010. At the beginning of the year, I made a rough gauge of GT5’s release date and I expected it to be released around the same time as Tekken 6 on consoles (end of October), both of which are my favourite titles. But right now, it seems like I’ll just have to settle with Tekken. So I really hope that by March 2010, GT5 will reach our shores and everyone would be happily enjoying it.
What I’ve said above are just my opinions and my thoughts. Ain’t whining or complaining, just wanna share my views on this issue with the rest of the community.
Like I said, Q1 2010…….too long
why PD dont hire more staff to shorten the dateline? Sony is rich..
Some of the comments are, unfortunately, getting a bit out of hand. I’m going to start moderating new messages, so keep it clean and reasonable, guys.
Just another delay…in perfect polyphony style…but this time it’s beginning to be ridiculous…and absolutely annoying for all the fans..
Of course all the disappontiment and critism of the damage model has somrthing to do with this delay..
Forza’s fan will laugh at us(again)..
So we didnt see even the dynamic weather or the new damage model..wow..
we should excpect a lot in 4-5 year developping..do you need 6 more months?
IT MUST BE PERFECT..no matter what..
If every single time someone critcize their work , PD delay the date well…we’ll never see this damned game!
Thanks KY..
of course like always..we will sadly wait…again and again
well i can play GTP then waiting for GT5, i dont care about the delay, im sure they will bring us a fantastic game in next year.
You should have posted it under your name and not mine then, guy.
Don’t come crying to me when your troll comments get deleted. Whiner.
Guys , this is not toy game like Forza 3 this is THE driving game so be patience cause worth it!
@ Matthew,
Sorry for having an opinion, you douche bag.
WHAT!! 2010…. why..??? GT 4 (2005) >>>>>>>>>>>> GT 5 (2010)
huh…… so sad….
Kaz is lucky i’m not there cuz I would have said to him the same thing Clint Eastwood said to that nine iron in Gran Torino ” We used to stack fucks like you five feet high in Korea… use you for sandbags ” fuck the psp who wants that piece of garbage unless your stuck on a plane for more than 6 hours.. totally useless.
At Wheel Nut,
LOL The FM3 Demo…We sunk so so low.
Zzzzzz not falling for troll bait. Jordan, please ban this guy’s IP.
For all of those that think that GT5 is going to be the be all/end all when it is finally released, please stop lying to yourselves. The fact that we still don’t know much after Five years tells you that this game is probably going to fail. (As a true successor, not in sales obviously).
have fun and wait maby they add some more things to the game , more damage weather livery edition ?
Many of you just let these forums down, yes of course we all have every right to be annoyed but really the attitude and disconcern for how you make gtp look bad shows you dont give a **** towards the guys that put all the work in to these forums.
At least something positive will happen today for racing fans.
The FM3 demo
lol, major advancement. these guys just dont know how to deal with their customers.
yep guys i say it twice dont be hyped dont expect much but today you can download forza 3 demo
By giving us a 2010 release date they’ve made the biggest mistake ever, whats out on the 1st oct?, gt psp, whats the cause of this delay of the only game we want? gt psp, no one buy gt psp as a protest
You guys are freaking out for nothing, I dunno if I have ever seen so many adults whine like 1st graders. Most of you whine like Kyle Busch!
First off, if any of you had some brains in your head, including YOU gtplanet (shame on you for putting ideas into people’s head, something tells me you’d do it again in a heartbeat though), you would have figured out a LONG time ago that GT5 wouldn’t be coming out this year. First off, EA owns/owned the rights to NASCAR through most of 09 or maybe all of 09 so when in the heck did you think GT5 could come out? Secondly, there’s been hardly any footage, pictures, or demos of the game so you guys are out of line to think they’d keep this game under raps for months on end to just go all balls to the wall today and say they have a finished product that will be out in December. I mean come on do any of you know anything about the gaming industry? Do you think Forza, MGS4, Uncharted 2, Modern Warfare 2, or other multimillion dollar projects would wait til 3 months before the game’s release to really show it off? HA! You guys are INSANE!
Let this be a lesson to you that until a game developer says the actual date that everything else is pure rumor and shouldn’t be taken seriously. This was also the case with Batman Arkham Asylum and Bioshock 2. FURTHERMORE, a developer might delay a title so even a date that is officially announced you might as well not count on that one either! Everybody does this and the sooner you learn that no dates are set in stone the sooner you can wear big boy pants.
Furthermore, this argument about “oh well that dern Forza game peoples have dun come out with two games since GT4 come out so what’s up Pol-lif-fon-ee?! You guys suck cuz you never release any dern games darnit!” is crap. Have all of you magically forgotten that PD is set to release their first PSP game in a matter of weeks? How long did we have to wait for that sum bitch? I forgot did they just release a portable Forza with as many cars/tracks as GT PSP? On top of that, PD has ONE chance to get good reviews with the gaming media. They can’t release a mediocre title and patch it later to make up for releasing it too early. Do any of you have any idea how damaging it would be for PD or Sony to get poor reviews of GT5? You wanna talk about losing a ton of money well that’s how to do it!
Heck, if you guys want a rushed product more than a refined one why don’t you go purchase a xbox 360? Sure it came out first and is decent but the PS3 kicks that thing right in teh pants when it comes to bang for your buck and features. Oh, and one last thing, EA Sports comes out with a new Madden, NHL, NBA, and NASCAR game every year but the last time I checked people weren’t praising those games as genre defining titles (except for NHL). I guess I need to read the book you guys have read called “How to make AAAA video games in one year!”.
So, final thoughts. 1) Never ever ever ever believe a release date until that game has gone gold or is at your local Wallll MaRt. 2) Never ever ever believe rumors and speculations on any website until those have been confirmed by the company in question. Once that has been confirmed as true remain super skeptical until you have seen it in person. 3) Use common sense when evaluating the release date of a game, many companies love to pimp their game a couple months or more before it is released to the public. And when I say pimp I don’t mean little demos at game shows. I mean what the Forza guys do by releasing a ton of pictures every week. 4) If you one of those angry fanboys that is gonna go buy Forza 3 or any other racing game because you are tired of waiting 5 years and can no longer wait 6 more months then you better put your money where you mouth is and go buy those other games, not buy GT5, and stay off this site. Otherwise you’re just throwing a temper tantrum and being a hypocrite. Lastly, 5) Do not take for granted the new and old features that were announced tonight such as the differing online components or how GT5 is still one of the VERY FEW racing games that feature 2 player split screen. I mean my god since when did we stop playing games with people in the same room as us? On top of that NASCAR fans will finally have a new game to play we got DAMAGE, you know the other feature most of you bitched about 24-7 since GT1.
Honestly, most of you guys on here are pathetic. You got your release date (somewhat) but that’s not enough. You got damage but now it’s not good enough. You get online play finally, with private rooms, youtube uploading, voice and text chat, and picture albums and replay albums but hey who cares about those! Truly, I hope most of you don’t buy the game because my guess is you’d be too busy complaining about something (probably how I let you win since that’s what you asked me to do) to make it an enjoyable experience. Can’t wait to race with those on here that haven’t had kittens!
Today whe test the forza 3 demo
hey you guys they don’t care about fans they only care about money how mean comments we did on this website about GranTurismo 5 release date did they read any of these comments??? no they didn’t they just piss of as hard i told you they only care about money money not fansssssss
wait again …
What about the U.S 2010 date???? ;P
Some bedwetter has had his feelings hurt by something I said. The idiot who posted the ”I’m a homo post” under this name is not me, and furthermore, I stand by everything I said. This game will come out when Polyphony wants it to. You detractors can jump off a cliff as far as I’m concerned. You’re the same type who’d purposely run opponents off the road in online play just to get cheap thrills.
Nothing else to be said here.
The release date doesnt bother me but could we at least get too see a new trailer showing gameplay from wrc, nascar etc? confirmation for day and night cycles would also be nice. btw all the cry babies need to grow the f**k up. just relax!
Fuck this whiner hater crap, you guys acting like this isnt a big deal are fake bitches. 5+ years of R&D. What a farse, I switched from PS3 to 360 three months ago so I could get Forza because I knew this shit was going to happen.
While you “stand up” guys sit on your hands for six months I will be driving my P1 around the Ring this OCT. Love GT but this is just more BS…
I agree with Wheel Nut on this one, thanks for your efforts Jordan. Industry rumors aren’t always right.
This is so disapointing that I’m going to use my G25 only to play Virtua Tennis 2009
I just came to conclusion that Kaz saw FM3, shat himself of it and realised that he had nothing better in his game, just 1000 little prettier cars instead of 400, which filled with good cars without Cappucinos and other cars people just don’t drive, is more than good enough. Now he shows one old revamped track everywhere with really basic and still not even close to realistic colission and damage model. All we can see is just slight evolution, not revolution at all, after almost six years, my god! And finally Kaz needs further time to make his game better. With lack of info further six to ten months, all the PD statements so foggy and hardly understandable!
I can say only one thing, if next year GT5 will come out and we will see obvious GT idiocracies like bouncing cars, buzzing sound, lack of burning rubber on the pavement, that horrible tyre screeching, brainless AI opponents, invisible walls or walls of plastic tape which can stop your car, ALL THE SIX YEARS WERE JUST WASTE OF TIME.
I’ve been waiting for gran turismo 5 for so long that i don’t even remember. Same comment as “F”, Im just not intrested anymore
^_^ Some people think Polyphony and Sony are stealing their money.
Microsoft are the ones ripping people off with their Xbox, believe me. It’s a fun system but they seriously are just taking people’s money.
And Turn 10 (makers of Forza) are the masters of lies and deceit, not Polyphony. They just keep spewing arrogant comments or ‘false’ facts about their company and games.
Please everyone, remember this lol =D
Hear that? That’s the sound of Turn10 people sighing a relief.
this what i think of this news because they release GranTurismo psp first they what you to buy a psp so they can make more money out of it then they will release GranTurismo 5 in march all about mone.
I knew it would be released on march 2010. I had a talk long time ago with someone who worked for sony and he told me it’s gonna be relaesed at march 2010…. so meanwhile i am gonna enjoy the psp version untill then..
fuck gran turismo.
5 years? Thats an idiotic wait time, even for politics. Wtf PD, get it together, maybe hire more people???
I ain’t dissapointed with Kaz or PD. All I know is we are getting a great game. I don’t care how long I have to wait. This game is going to be fantastic!
2010 for japan only???for Europe ??? this ****
i expect gran turismo 5 summer 2010 bescause they never released the game on the first date like other games whe have to wait in mean time whe can play Mdern warface 2 ,, AVP 3
ahhh well fuck it who cares I turn 40 in january and told myself that on my birthday i will give up video games and become a real man, woulda been nice to try it out though
Whoops Sorry for spelling been up since 5am for this news…..
Julian re making excuses for PD: Totally agree.
LMFAO @ the comments.
I actually feel pretty bad for Jordan.
This has to be a very low moment even for him and with such HYPE and legitimate expectance built around the 2009 release date.
PD and Kaz in particular really abuse their fanbase loyality.
Here we are another gamesshow and what further details on the game have been given really?
What about the leaked/removed information that appeared on the Japanese website at Gamescon?
Sitting here with 3x PS£ consoles Id like to know if triple screen is confirmed?
Do we even get a large collection of new pictures?
Do we get any new videos?
Can we even be shown, weather, night racing.
The problem is with the continious false hints and comments made by Kaz, what do we now believe to be true about whats been tolf told to be in the game? How can the man be expected to remain credible.
Although I dont particulary the WHOAH YEAH attitude/approach from Turn 10 and FM3. One thing is certain it seems Turn 10 care more for their fans than PD currently do at the moment.
I really hope, with TGS on over the next couple of days we get some more media and concrete details on the game.
Cant say im surprised but yeah dissapointed the fans are treated in this way and left hanging being more frestrated instead of elated over this most recent episode in the GT5 Saga.
Jordan, thanks again for your efforts….
Wheel Nut / gtf
Oh dear… really disappointed. As others have said this March 2010 release date is very likely to get pushed back even further. It wouldn’t surprise me if the game only gets released sometime in 2011
Frickin embarassing
Gran Turismo 4 – 6/18/04
Forza 1 – 5/3/05
Forza 2 – 8/19/08
Forza 3 – 10/27/09
Gran Turismo 5 – 3/?/10
Seriously I’m done waiting, how can they let someone make 3 games before releasing GT5.
360 it is, Forza it is, Bill Gates it is!
Gran Turismo PSP dejevu???
guidzit-
i’d like to believe that too, but do you really think they’d ever release it here or anywhere else in the world before japan? i think we’d be lucky to even get it the same month as japan.
Hi dudes,
Remember delays on GT3 and GT4 it was the same, each time they were close of release date they delayed the game of several months…
And up to now it is only for Japan, no news for Europe and US… Maybe we will have the game in Q4/09 as promised !
Nevertheless, if it is also moved to 2010 for Europe and US, knowing Polyphony and Kazu, I’m conviced that it is for good reasons and that they still need to do some improvements. Kazunori is a perfectionist, GT5 won’t be released till it is not perfect !
Wait for some additonnal news and enjoy your real life, it is still a game, even if it is the best one…
First of all, I’d like to say a big F_CK YOU to Polyphony Digital, Kaz, and Sony for robbing me of over $1,000 dollars over the last 3 years for a product that has never come out. Secondly, i’d like to mention that the Gran Turismo series is a bunch of lies, and honestly doesn’t give a shit about their fan base. GT5 projected release date: December 31, 2012. You can quote me on that; unlike Kaz and PD, who are never and will never be reliable. They are a bunch of liars who sit around all day thinking of how they can rip off loyal Sony customers.
I’m just as upset as the next person and I’m ready to throw prologue out the window lol, but all this complaining isn’t gonna make the game come sooner so just chillax..when it finally get here you’ll be saying PD is GOD and all that other mess..everybody’s just talking out of anger and that’s understandable but still..maybe if people stop checking GTP so much,time would fly and march would be here lol..for you traders selling out and saying F*** GT5..don’t jump back on the bandwagon!
Fuck you KAZ and Sony with your gt5 for psp.
Want to know what sucks…Not that this game is going to be released in god knows when or that some of modeling is questionable… NO… what really sucks is that Forza fanboys are going to have a field day. Maybe that Forza guy *cough, douche bag, cough cough* was right.
Japan march 2010. US?????????????????????
No, I Must admit there are People Acting like 5 Years Old, EVERYBODY SHOULD KNOW THAT MAKE A REAL VIDEO GAME IS NOT EASY, but the only thing that bothers me is tha Time Goes on, and People Wont be Waiting Forever, Besides i dont know how much can you trust That Release Date, it was Supossed to go out in March 2008 and Look, Its been moved to March 2010 For Japan Only so, what about us the rest Of the world…
Its just that I know everybody Here doesnt want to know they Spent 5 Years of their Life Waiting for Something, that may not be THAT good, but lets wait what happens from now on just doesnt upset/make me Happier, im in a Kind of Shock, i heard Several Good Things and a Really Dissapointing one.
ps. psp is not a ‘replacement for now’ or anything like that. these games feed on the power of current gen consoles and hdtv graphics. obviously its just my opinion, but relying on psp for a good GT fix is like taking a step backwards. i want the pretty!
Damn it.
even if it DOES come out in march in japan, it won’t be for a couple months after that for the rest of the world if past stats are anything to go by. here’s the last three game’s release dates
gt2

hopefully it’ll be more like gt2, but after this, i’m not so sure. like people have said, the only reason i’m upset is because this feels like the rug is being pulled out from under us. it would be one thing if they hadn’t teased with things like “big announcement” and so many things pointing towards 2009 and just admitted at least “2010 sometime,” in my opinion.
Fuck Poly, I’m buying a 360 and getting Forza 3. At least Turn10 can stick to a NORMAL release schedule. I don’t want any of the morons at PD getting my money anymore.
There’s plenty to play between now and then. You lot are a bunch of sooks. Pick up your dummy from the floor, clean it and put it back in. Come March 2010 you’ll be happier than a pig in shit when you get your copy.
I don’t like it when people say they’ve had “enough of this GT crap”. And they aren’t interested anymore.
Were they ever a fan of the game? Or are some just trolling because they can use this unexpected release date to throw it against our faces and say PD sucks.
Personally, now I finally know to buy Uncharted 2 for Christmas. Then GT5 and GOWIII.
No problems for me ^_^ It makes my choices so much easier haha.
After reading these comments, all I can say is WOW. Did we all just turn 5 years old? This morning, I saw “We love Kaz!” all over the place, now folks are attacking him for making an official release date (something that everyone wanted) that contradicts all of the mythical, made up release dates floating around. I wouldn’t be surprised if they never released it at all, now, after reading this thread of hatred. Relax, kids, and play something else for a few months.
Hello people, we have GTPSP to play with until March. 800 cars, 35 tracks, that’s more than enough until March. Guys, calm down, it’s not the end of the world.
Aaaahhh… relief finally.
Yes. I’ve recently had a hunch that something like this was going to happen and sure it did. Until now, I was going to get Forza 3 while I waited for GT5. Given the March 2010 for Japan date (probably fall 2010 for US), I don’t think it’s worth to wait longer. I bought a PS3 for this game at launch. That is 600 dollars. The only use I got out of it was GT5P and that too was again lots of promise and not much delivered in the online department.
I’m just going to ebay out my PS3 and order that Fanatec wheel (sucks that the 360 doesent support the logitec). Forza 3 demo will be available in an hour and I know what game I’m going to be playing for the next year while the super loyalists here wait with eternal hope.
I’m out of GT. I’ll say this before I leave. Over 950 cars.. and this time they conveniently did not mention which ones would have interiors that are damageable. If you ask me, that guy is spinning his web of deceit trying to get your cash. Do yourself a favor and release yourself from this agony. I did and I’m looking forward to a wonderful racing year ahead.
Adios and out…
WELL, AT LEAST THIS SHOULD MEAN WE HAVE TO HAVE COMPLETE CAR MODIFICATION (AERODYNAMICS,SOME KIND OF LIVERY EDITOR) AND DAMAGE IN ALL CARS. IF THEY DELIVER THE GAME IN MARCH 2010 WITHOUT THESE THINGS, IM SURE ILL SELL MY PS3 AND BUY A FREAKING X360 WITH FORZA.
Now that im Not Screaming, this is kind of B.S, well i guess that Happens when you are Perfectionist and being so Sure about your Product, but then, now we have SOLID Release Date and Full Characteristics, which is kinda Good.
I’m just mad that the march 2010 is the date simply because of their promotional material that clearly stated Q4 2009. Not cool. Had they not set a mental worst case scenario for me of having the game be out at least by the new year I wouldn’t be complaining right now. That was said only a month ago!
I’m only disappointed because of how much I want to play this game already. Still a day one purchase for me, even if I have to pick up Forza 3 or NFS: Shift to tide me over until then (already have GTPSP on preorder).
However, if that date doesn’t represent a world-wide release and the US gets it later I may have to hunt down someone from Sony.
Hmm..maybe this is just the JPN release date so it doesn’t interfere with the release of Final fantasy 13. US/EUR might get it early..who knows.
Well it says 2010 in Japan, it doesnt metion Europe or the USA…so anyway Japan always recieved GT in last, they were never the first
lol, i posted i think 2 times already that the game wont be coming this year. I cant say from who i know that, but from what I was told is,
licensing has some problems. not with cars but with music and other stupid stuff.
They also are still trying to figure out how to fit the game on the Blu-Ray disc.
I was told that they use computers with harddrives to write the game and it got too big for the Blu-Ray format.
There are other stupid little things that they have to straighten out that hold everything up.
At least I have more time now to save money for a proper wheel…
I really don’t see the fuss over this game I got prologue and was like meh didn’t seem that much of a stretch from gt4 to me, can’t believe it’s taken them 5 years to get it 65% completed i’ll more than likely be playing Diablo 3 before this thing comes out.. and thank god modern warfare 2 is coming out soon with a FIRM release date.
if we are to blame it on someone then it’s Sony and their PSP, I think they pressured KY to develop the rubbish PSP GT , this affected the GT5 badly, since over 50 million psps are sold. So the priority went to it.
Howwever, I am on my second PS3 now since my third Ps3 now since I had two BD lenses failures. I bet my third one will be dead by the release date! no worries, I will get the slim then but deep I feel the reference franchise will silence the competition and we will be rewarded with a very special treat. KY is a perfectionist and would never tarnish the image of PD and the series and ultimately let his loyal petrol heads down.
Save the BEST for last.
fuck man i guess gt5 is nothing but hype..by the time its released the economy will be even worse
Jordan, are there any other press conferences announced on other days? That would be interesting to know.
Can’t you see what kaz is doing he is playing everyone off against each other he’ll talk like this then release it December he trying to boost gt psp sales it’s a marketing scam.
He knows how many gt fans there are.
Publicity stunt you talk about it more when it disappoints you
The very least they could do is update GT5P with voice chat and give us the demos that have been circulating since LAST FRACKING YEAR!
I think based on the Gran Turismo PSP.
Since there was a teaser in the final credits of GT PSP.
I think this is all staged up by Sony themselves.
Making all the PSP owners to finish the game 1st then ending them up to buy a PS3 and GT5 at the same time.
Sounds like a fairytale of Gran Turismo to me.
Or perhaps I’m wrong
Also I think that they realized that the damage system was really really that bad.
I’ve just updated the original post to provide some reflection on how and why a 2009 release looked so promising.
Also, what the hell is up with KAZ? I think we all deserve an interview. We have been waiting nearly 5 years with hardly any details. Why so secretive?
I saw this coming…when I heard “major advancement” I really heard “we don’t have anything”…Anyways if the game is 65% done that is about 16.25% per year over the course of four years of development, I would expect another delay next E3 because this game is on pace to have a 2012 release date. In other words, take the release date with a grain of salt.
Looks like the japanese very soon means half a year. lol. Very bad news :(
Why Kaz ? Why ?
i expect gran turismo 5 summer 2010 bescause they never released the game on the first date like other games whe have to wait
It isn’t the last game they will every get to make, why don’t they at least put out SOMETHING. I would rather have a game with medium improvements every 2 years than leaving us with nothing to play for 5 years….
man fuck this shit im gonna buy me an elite n get 50 rebate n purchase forza 3 …u got to be fucking kidding pd!!!???…oh wat a big fucken advancement !…lol…shit that all i can say shit!
You guys are funny. “Yeah I can wait 6 months” I assume you all live in Japan than because the rest of the fucking world will be getting this in 10-12 months. Let that sink in dipshits.
seriously. this major advancement better be something like an update to Prologue with the current playable build features added, not just a release date.
I see the crying has begun lol. I didnt expect gt5 to be released until 2010 anyways so im not disappointed. Just relax guys, at the end of the day PD has the final say and all the whining wont bring gt5 to our consoles any sooner. Just chill, it will be well worth the wait :)
What a joke! what happened to 4th quarter? and what is this major advancement?? I believe this title is fast becoming vapourware!
@confi-user
You do not know for sure that it will be better than it is now. they might just be holding back the release date. As PD have stated they’re pushing the date back but they haven’t said that they’re going to make it even better. You’re just assuming that, just like we assumed a 09 release date.
Laughable, Typical, Expected. Polyphony, your good at sucking.
Boycott GT5 not L4D2.
Who gives a F#*k about psp connectivity or uploads to youtube.
Next It’ll be you can order french fries with GT5 or better still, use that
crappy game as a coaster.
Bow your pompous head in shame.
Guys, get over it. We have only ourselves (and Jordan) to blame for getting our hopes up. PD never said it was coming this year. Kaz said it was coming “soon”. He said he could release it “any time”.
Soon and any time =/= 2009.
Wow… March 2010? Ok, at least I’ll have enough money to buy it then ^^
Now we can see these people who are impatient and the others who are patient. The impatient people are complaining, disappointed and angry and say that they will buy an X-Box 360 for Forza 3. I can fully understand this, you can do that if you want, I don’t care about what you’re doing in the future. The other people are disappointed, too, but they don’t do a huge thing about it and keep on waiting and know that the longer wait will bring a better result. I think I’m a patient guy, I can wait, this is no problem if they keep on working on the game. Well then, then we have to wait 6 months longer, time goes by fast.
yes i new this bullshit news was going to happen what can i say about GTP and GranTurismo 5 you have failed the mission for GT fans it is not fair to read stupid release date and make fans piss of
Im pleading with everyone not to buy gt psp, this is the reason for it all, they can go fuck themselfs now
Now we have something, Gran Turismo 5: March 2010 in Japan.That not so far away..we can wait.We have used to wait..maybe there is some features still coming to the game.
i expect gran turismo 5 summer 2010 bescause they never released the game on the first date like other games
Man people are angry. If the game looks like this @ 65% then what will the final game look like? Absolutely mind-blowing. I read an interview with the developers of Wipeout HD and he said that it took them 8 months to develop one track from scratch so that they can get it upto 1080p standards. So just imagine the ‘difficulties’ PD have been having? Still, i for one am not so angry with PD/KY, but just a teeny bit bummed that it is being released so far away (well it feels like it right now!) At least I can get on with concentrating on Forza3 and then finding out how i get on with that game.
Oh and one final note, GT5 is not just about getting the car modelling right, tracks etc, has anyone given the on-line aspect a thought because as sony admitted earlier on in the PS3’s career, ‘this online stuff is bloody complicated’ so there is more to getting gt5 perfect than just defending the game with comments about 1000 cars, tracks, etc. Peace out.
It comes, when it comes. We can´t hurry it. We can´t make a pressure on PD.
They release it, when they want it.
And ALL OF US here in GTPlanet will buy it…
That´s a fact, I think.
Yeah streetKid, cause we all know, pardon me, I all know PD’s spotless record when it comes to release dates.
Amen, Streetkid.
LoL – instant fail and lost a LOT. All b.c of the gt4 psp
The thing that irritates me most about the complainers is the use of words like ”we” and ”us.” Speak for yourself. Kaz and PD disappointed YOU, not ”us.” I’m thrilled I have a release date that is confirmed to look forward to.
chris, I like your thinknig but they’re like, 12 or 14 hours ahead, not 4 months
WTF I hope he means 2010 in JP/2009 in US
@The Masfer: Because Kazunori Yamauchi on stage with a gigantic GT5 slide means they’re talking about the motion controller date.
i expect gt5 summer 2010 bescause they never released the game on the first date like other games
Shut my face huh. This coming from the same guy who apparently feels it to be a bad thing as the developers are in the business of game development to quote ”take your money”. Sorry Omega, I’m not from the land of socialism. We don’t condemn profit motives in this part of the world.
Goodnight. And by the way, I for one am not disappointed. Just disappointed that the guy didnt specify what exactly he meant by ”SOON” when saying it would be out SOON after GT PSP. Thats a legitimate point of contention. Saying they should release it before they feel it is ready is, in my opinion, not.
I have this feeling that something is gonna be unveiled about this game before this show is over…the press conference just stated things that we already knew for the most part.
But If you don’t want to trust me but you’ll be regretting it
just trust me
who in here besides me thinks matthew has Polyphony tattooed on his ass…
just because your not disappointed doesnt mean others cant be…if you dont like us “whining” then go play GT prologue and let us whine all we want..
Yes for the motion controller.
Look it up the motion controller is planned to release then
they are making more of a fuss about that controller than gt5
how about letting us fans at least download these demos the press is seeing?
is there more to come regarding GT5 or what? because i fail to see the “major advancement” part of this press conference.
deflated
Wow, how shocking! 3 months later than what people thought it would release! boo boo!
Tick tock tick tock tick tock…com’on…com’on!
how about a prologue update, PD? that should ease the pain.. a little.. LOL
@masfer
Look at the pic posted. Its says 2010, 3 which probably means March 2010.
Ok I can’t be bothered responding to every single delated whiner on this board tonight but I will close with one comment. It is not that people who understand that games are not a product of fulfilling a duty are making excuses, it is just that we know that there is always room for improvement. Personally if they came out with the game in 2012 I wouldnt care, but you bellyachers obviously would. As I said before, it is just a game. With this much work having gone into the project already, there is no way it will not be impressive. Just look at the sheer scale of what they’re trying to bring out. Stop being immature and really THINK about this. 1000 cars, including NASCAR and WRC (which means authentic rally tracks and NASCAR tracks), all interiors fully rendered, etc. There is no way in hell a consumer has the right to complain (Even given the 5 year development time). We should be proud they’re doing all they can to make it just right.
@The Masfer the photo clearly says 2010/3 which is March 2010
The poster says 2010 for ps3 motion controller.
That’s what they go on about the most.
Great news. We finally have a date in which this game will be released.
Disappointed in the fact I have to wait, but even more disappointed by some of the comments in this thread.
Man people have really calm down, I want the game as much as everyone else but seriously all this about “i hate kaz, f this game, etc… is a little much. Geez it’s not like our life’s all ending. Plus TGS is not over yet maybe will get some really cool videos. (crossing fingers)
Yea…so after all this exitement…i get MARCH 2010!
Am i pissed? Yes
But if thats whats gonna take PD to finish the game, then be it. in the meanwhile ill play the PSP version at school and work breaks!
They never announced a release date… no, but they did leak a features list that said Q4 2009. Kaz said the list was accurate and with E3 and Gamescon building up for what could’ve been a december release (anything sooner than that wouldn’t make sense) I can understand everyones frustration. I’m just going to be patient though, I DID buy a PS3 just to play this game so I really don’t have any complaints, especially when we DO FINALLY HAVE A SOLID RELEASE DATE.
I think the accuracy of the cryptic message in the forums also didn’t help.
@RedBaron yeah don’t compete with your competitors just lay down and let them win and instead compete within the company against say god of war also an exclusive for the ps3 sounds like a terrific marketing strategy
@Hernan, like 3 or 4 games have been produced within these 5 years, Tourist Trophy was released after GT4 aswell
Matthew, I’ll give you that beggars can’t be choosers, but I’d hardly call the hundreds of dollars I’ve invested in the game over the years begging. They may all have a passion for what they are doing, but in the end, they still have bills to pay. I’m very passionate about my profession, but I still charge for it. Condemning them is way too far because in the end it is simply a game, a simulation, whatever you want to call it. With a few exceptions (Lucas) the vast majority of us will never make a career as a result of it. I think we’re all just a little frustrated at the 6 year development.
Maybe Gtpsp took their time to finish? So thats why GT5 has to be released next year.
No I’m here in Tokyo just left the confrence though they finished talking about gt so…
I’m from gamespot covering gt5 and psp.
Get to try the demo tommorrow before anyone else from the uk.
But very sad, of course :o(
It’s a sad day indeed.
Ok forza has come out with 2 count em 2 games in not even 4 years that is sad come on kaz you can do better then that
@The Masfer nah it even says in the photo 2010 release
It’s just strategic thing. They just don’t want to compete in christmas sales with Forza 3.
Wow..the internet is soo low..
@The Masfer if the game is 60-65% complete am I am leaning towards March sounds like the translator got it right to me, don’t get everyone’s hopes up lol
FUCK THEM!
I hate Kazunori, why the hell he make us think that the game was almost ready and we will see it soon.
5 FULL years in development and 2 of those they have been talking about how they expect the game soon.
I really hate KAZ.
I’m predicting that when launched in March 2010 it will cost something like US$80, because like bobmcgee said it’s not possible for a company to get profit in a software that was developed during 5 years, no way a US$50 can pay so much work put on it…it’s a pitty…GT5 is starting to abuse it’s fans. Raping will be the right word if a “premium price” becomes true… T_T
It’s funny how the loyalist keep making excuses for PD saying “they are pushing it back so the game will be perfect”. Now if march rolls around and it’s not perfect these same loyalist will be making another excuse for being shortchanged. It’s much like a woman who is being abused and stays with the man abusing her all the while justifying it. The bottom line is that GT5 has been delayed for too long it should have been out. I mean forza 2 came and went and here we are at part 3 and still no GT5. The last GT game worth playing was on the last gen system. Uhhhh ps3 was released in 06 roughly 3 years ago and here we are waiting for 2010 to get GT 5 at best we got to play prologue. Well i have ordered my fanatec wheel and i am waiting for the forza 3 demo that will release in a couple of hours and i can’t wait to play the full game with damage on ALL the cars in a month. Good luck believing PD when march comes they will prob give another fall release date lol. So much for big announcements for GT5 but look on the bright side at least you have GT5 psp till then hahahahahahahhahahaha
u sure masfer? i think you’re playing with us. Not cool.
Jbthbt, fair enough but in the grand scope of things 6 months is a small window of time compared to say, the amount of time it takes for new consoles to be put to market.
I say it is better to be patient and not outright condemn the developers for delaying a project that, in the final analysis, is the product of their own generosity and passion. You cant expect them to cater to people before they cater to themselves. Thats all I’m saying. I dont mean to seem like I’m saying I’m superior, by the way. Sorry if it comes across like that.
I’m just recognizing that beggars can’t be choosers.
March 2010 better have NO delays and this game better be beyond PERFECT, and have no doubt in my mind as well as a 10/10 score.
Hey GT Planet, what ever happened to your release date that you knew was right? Or heard it from the right people that we will like? Just wondering what date that was, and what your source has to say about it.
I’m in Tokyo and the fuss is big because the translater got it wrong kaz said the game will be released within the next 6 months so the translator thought he meant in 6 months time and said march. It’s kaz messin with us again. He’s saying it could be tomorow or it could be march.
There’s just no way that GT5 will live up to the demands expected of a game that was in development for 6 years before release.
I think PD have messed this up pretty bad
I CAN’T BELIEVE IT. POLYPHONY IS LOOSING ALL
2010 for japan. europe is there biggest sellers. fingers crossed its 2010 for japan
its interesting to see sony planning a release for its two major exclusive titles in the same month god of war 3 and gt5 really strange, something tells me 1 of these titles will be moved into even later in 2010 and i bet it isn’t god of war
F Says:
September 24th, 2009 at 12:55 am
ive had enough of this game..
im not even interested anymore to be honest
All I can say is LOL.
Good riddance, whiner
What if they don’t release it in March 2010? lol?
Matthew, they all have as much right to gripe as you do to revel in your superiority. We all know that the majority of us will still buy the game, and we will be grateful for the final product, but it is no less frustrating to have been led to believe one thing when in fact another is true. Can’t we all just get along?
He could have at least given us an exact date…
ive had enough of this game..
im not even interested anymore to be honest
HAHA,WHAT HAPPENED TO AMAR’S STUPID WINDS?
No problem as long the is completed with everthing on it in detial i mean whe can play gt5p maby whe get a new updated with cars ands tracks until gt5 release
Well to be honest PD never mentioned and real release date so we can’t really blame PD for that. It was stupid internet speculation that thought GT5 was releasing this year. Kaz just said he can release it whenever he wants. This doesn’t change anything for me come march I’ll be playing GT5, in the mean time GTPSP and Forza 3.
the meltdown is waiting 5 years for a game with no solid release date. How is it possible for a company to work on a game for 5 years? That’s ridiculous. You can’t expect to make enough profit from 1 game to pay for 5 years of work. I mean metal gear was very realistic and that came out very fast. Compare this to GT5?
Are these delays related to having damage in the game? If so, then they should just forget the damage.
Hell if I’m just going to wait around for gt5. Time to start shopping around the PS3 driving games that actually are coming out this season.
@bobmcgee how is this a delay?, they never announced a release date until now.
Yea I definitely was looking forward to killing a painful winter with this game. BUT ALAS! It will come just as winter is coming to a close, or later. When I WILL NOT play it AT ALL. It honestly might as well be delayed to holiday 2010 for me.
japanese definition of major advancement = delayed release?
Matthew, absolutely.
@matthew – haha couldn’t agree more. I guess it’s just more fun for us.
Major advancement? More like major disappointment.
Fail.
Man, what a disappointment. Then I have to buy GT for PSP. That’s probably what they want anyway by pushing the release of GT5 to 2010.
Im going to have so much fun watching the meltdown on this thread as people start proclaiming Forza 3 to be the supreme and how they’ve lost faith in Polyphony Digital, etc…all the while I will remain patient and be perfectly satisfied when they release the game at the point when they damn well feel it is ready according to their own exacting standards.
You guys are hilarious.
actually I am glad that it comes out on march 2010. PD please make sure it’s perfect.
Q4 2009 just got too many games on ps3. uncharted 2, FF13, AC2, 3D dot Hero…good news for j-rpg lover?
I can now sell my PS3, eat more than Ramen and cereal, and get a PS3 slim in March. Awesome!
yet again another delay for GT. I’m starting to lose a bit of faith here. From a marketing perspective it makes no sense. I mean you just had the biggest game show for PS3, Japan and all this recent hype about GT5 and now they’re just going to let it die off and release it at a later date when sales aren’t as high (compared to Christmas time). To add to that the casual gamer will probably forget about GT5 in March. Wow. I’m appalled.
Yeah what the hell happened to “it releases very soon after gt psp?” does he call 6 (!) months soon! WTF!
If they hadn’t worked on that gt4 ripoff for the psp I would be fucking playing GT5 by now!!
Very disappointed!!!!!
they lied… it has nothing to do with having a polished game… they are behind schedule and promised they would meet their “quota” date , instead they didnt… so now that they realized they wont be able to release it soon they give another half a year to catch up… this is smoke and mirrors at its best
YGBSM
How can the date be “moved back” if they never announced a release date to begin with?
I thought that was always one of the excuses for the PD loyalists–“they’ve never announced a release date so how can it be delayed, blah, blah..”
“major advancement”, “it will be released sooner than people think”…What a load of crap…
NO,NO,NO
I can´t believe it. March 2010. No way.
How pathetic. Before I could even finish typing my comment, my predictions are already coming true. What a bunch of crybabies. It is JUST a game. The developers have the final say, much the same way that your mother had the final say as you were growing up as to when you had to go to bed or take a bath. Now get over it, WHINERS!
NOOOOOOOOO!!! But i’m not surprised though. Fall release was a dream in the sky.
march 2010 in japan …what happened in others? 6 month later??
WTF Happened to Q4 09
I just can’t take it anymore, I’m getting my pre-order refunded…
OMG…this is gonna be very bad for all the fans.
Well thats it guys…. im out. looks like im buying an xbawks 360 for forza. gt5 may be the greatest driving game ever, but it isnt anything to anyone if no one can play it because it keeps getting pushed back. I’d rather have a game I can actually get my hands on.
This reminds me of duke nukem forever.
wow what a huge disappointment
what the hell happened to, “it’s finished, i can release it whenever i want”
Well the sceptics were right. Oh well. This to me just means they are not going to shortchange themselves and have a game come out that is rushed in any way shape or form.
More power to them. I’m glad they aren’t forcing it out. Whats another 6 to 8 months anyway? Live your life and don’t hinge your happiness upon the release of a piece of software.
After all, they are the ones providing us this entertainment through their own blood sweat and tears. It isnt for those like me, the consumer base, to demand them to release it before they feel that it meets their standards. I know we’ll see a lot of bellyaching on this thread over this piece of news, but I for one (and I know I’m not the only one, as I alluded to in the beginning of this post) am happy that they’re taking every bit of time they need to get a product out they know people will be satisfied with.
No….
BS. I HATE POLY… FAKE EXPECTATIONS
WHAT!!!
This makes me cry :(
wtf you gotta be kidding me
