Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) It's a global delay. This has been one fucked up end of year for Sony.. How so? New date will be given end of this month. I find it nice that they still care about the game more than the date. Its better for us. Edited October 13, 2010 by Choze Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 13, 2010 Yeah, I'm going to have to agree with Choze. Sony are sorted. This quarter is absolutely loaded with Third Party games, it's obscene. Let the First Party gold come out the beginning half of next year. Sure it's annoying but something was going to give if it came out. Now it doesn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 13, 2010 What the. I don't mind it being delayed but seriously, why give a release date, especially since this has had more than one release date, if it's going to be delayed? They should take a page from the makers of Guild Wars 2, 'It will be released when it's finished!' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) Guild Wars 2 is fairly early so far compared to GT5. GT5 only ever had one release date which was only given at e3, and this is the first actual delay. I think this a problem that comes with some developers. Zipper, MM and Polyphony obviously are not the type of developers who rush stuff out. http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2010/10/13/gt5-delay-decision-was-made-yesterday/ “We’re really close, but this was an executive decision that was made yesterday,” Imasaki said. “Realistically,” he continued, “we thought we had a good date. We’re not happy over here.” The Times says that Imasaki is “is shooting for it to be out by the holidays” and that we “won’t see too much more delay.” These comments don’t sound particularly concrete to me, the producer not committing to a specific date suggests there’s a little more work to be done to the game before it’s ready. Discussion is floating around this evening that Sony might be wanting to ensure firmware 3.50 is required for the game, locking out potential piracy. There’s no evidence to support this, but the New York Times suggests another theory: that the company might not have “sufficient supplies of the game to meet demand”.

Posted November 12, 2010 New date: http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2010/11/12/gt5-release-announcement/ Today I am delighted to confirm that Gran Turismo 5 will be released in the PAL markets on Wednesday 24th November. Kazunori Yamauchi, creator of Gran Turismo shared the following thoughts on what has been an epic and challenging development process. “Gran Turismo 5 is an ambitious project, with challenges and complexities which have made it our version of the Apollo Space Programme! When we created the original Gran Turismo back in 1997, we wanted to set a completely new precedent for the racing genre. With the technological leap onto PlayStation 3, our objective with GT5 was to create another great revolution which would not only satisfy our own high expectations, but would meet or even exceed the anticipation of the fans. Satisfying the loyal Gran Turismo followers is at the heart of all of our efforts, which is why it was such a difficult decision to delay the release of the game, and one which we did not take lightly. I can only apologise to everyone for making you wait so long, and I hope that when you try out the wealth of driving experiences available in Gran Turismo 5, you will not be disappointed.” Alongside today’s confirmation of the date (finally)… I can also share with you the full car and track list. Check out PlayStation.com shortly. Amongst the car list you will see some exhilarating debutants to the GT virtual garage including the Bugatti and Lamborghini, whilst amongst the tracks you will see some familiar favourites including the Mazda Laguna Seca track, and Trial Mountain alongside new tracks such as the Madrid city track and Cape Ring. Check out below a trailer that celebrates one of the features that we hope will make your GT experience that little bit more engrossing – a virtual garage of over 1000 cars!

The book looks really good, would be very handy, perfecting those set ups Same here the PS1 games had excellent driving manuals. The APex book looks to build on that and is part encyclopedia.

It surprises me that there hasn't been a racing game that uses it since MSR. Think I'll get this after payday when I can afford a decent wheel to play it with.
