Gran Turismo 5 delay explained

All I can figure is that Kaz has OCD. I can't think of any other reason :(

That whole it's because of Call of Duty excuse is far off. This is a racing game, it appeals to a completely different audience. That being the issue is very low chance.

Never plan anything around anything PolyDorkonic is working on, chances are all they are doing is playing video poker and messing around on Ebay. God I hate this company so much, so smug, they just like to yank peoples chain.

We cant beleive anything else they say about this games "release" (still have my doubts its EVER coming). Every damn thing they have said about the release date has been and will continue to be lies. The "reelase date" which they harped on has been Nov 2 for months, now 3 weeks before the day suddenly they need to delay it. Dumb as a bag of hammers.

Wish they'd just admit they delayed it to sell more due to the holidays instead of blaming "small fixes". Getting sick and tired of having to inform customers that the game is delayed... again...

maybe they are sorting out things for the logitech driving force GT, making sure that each car set, Race, Nascar, F1, WRC will have the correct deadzones and not all having a 900’ wheel rotation cos F1, WRC do not have 900’ wheel rotation. Playing as an F1 car in prologue on the Driving force Gt was a JOKE, was near impossible. They best be sorting that out or i will not be happy.

I am all for perfection.

Son of a *@#$%!!!!! Mother @#$%&*, MOTHER &*$#%@!!!!!!!

@Bufta Are you serious? Thats pretty pathetic of someone to do this.

I love you Polyphony but you really yanked my chain with this delay. Considering id booked a week off work especially to play this on my new Sony 3DTV. Ah well just hope it gets released first or second week of december, cos if it doesnt Sony will have made a right royal mess-up (for want of a better word)

@utap you might be right about space considering forza 3 (good racing game) needed a second disc to install more cars and that is only with 400 cars, just imagine 1000+ cars. I guess that will need a couple discs but there is no need to start a flame war.....I just want my game =( Mr Yamauchi give me my game back!!

it would be legendary if I saw an ice cream falls when Gamespot reviews the game .

LOL like the 360 could even hold that much data ya GT% for 360 on 7 disks just for cars the tracks will be on 4 disks

@LOXO7 mmm WHAT?? xD sony owns polyphony digital and owns GT franchise...so that would never happen. Is like saying god of war,killzone and LBP(since they bought media molecule) will go to the 360...they are all sony property..so they can feel as miserable as they want and be unhappy with sony, but GT is going nowhere(i mean multiplat) xD

Wait..did he just say that they are not happy with Sony over here? AhHA GT5 360 confirmed!! // I intentionally miss read what he said on purpose. I'm joking, but now I've killed it. :(

I pre-ordered the collector's edition and i hope they release it this year cos it's the most game am waitting for :)

Ooh just thought aswell, maybe with the current climate they are going to delay it till next year when the economy is on the up????

C'mon people! Why would Sony/Polyphony Digital release GT5 on 2 Nov to be upstaged a week later on 9 Nov with the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops?! Are there any other upcoming highly anticipated major releases besides these two games? Black Ops will be big because its multi-platform; Sony/Polyphony Digital may just delaying to have the biggest and latest "noise" prior to the start of the holiday shopping frenzy i.e. the day after Thanksgiving.

With delay upon delay upon delay all I see is sony making a bigger noose to hang themselves with coz if it isn't perfect there will be hell to pay!!

This game will still sell millions no matter how much complaining happens. They are probably going to sell more copies of the game due to the delays because more PS3 will have been sold. Though I'm tired of waiting for it, I know I'm still getting this game.

I don't mind the delay so much... Seeing as there are other games coming out in the same release "window".. I don't mind focusing on fewer games at any time of the year.

AnimeNutJill Posted Oct 15, 2010 9:12 am CT I can understand delaying so they can tune up all the glitches, but this game better be freakin perfect when it releases cuz they'll be no excuses if it isn't. This^

This is really starting to remind me of Duke Nukem. Delay after delay. I am so tied of Poly jerking us around. I have canceled my preorder. I mean 5 years of development, 60+ million dollars for development? I'll just use that preorder money for a game that has already released and no doubt is just as good and probably better, FORZA.

I can understand delaying so they can tune up all the glitches, but this game better be freakin perfect when it releases cuz they'll be no excuses if it isn't. -__-

im sure that if they had no preorders at all this wouldnt have happend. The way i see it, they know theres a shi*load of people waiting for their pre orders and they have them on lockdown so now they can play with us like we are marionettes...go suck it SCEA and PD

GT5 5 did right to wait as gt5 must have a online gameplay wizout lags

Unfortunately, I think the graphics engine is already getting a little long in the tooth. Newer games are starting to look better than that clip suggests. I'm still really looking forward to its release though.

4yrs we been waiting,In that amount of time they could have manufactured all those cars by now! Or are they waiting for PS4?hmmmmmmm

It seems Sony & PD haven't learned from those games that delayed too many times and failed miserably.......

This game was supposed to be a LAUNCH TITLE!!!! That's 2006 people. 4 freaking years later, the game still isn't out. What is't finished exactly? Bug splatter on the windshield? Are the leaves on the tree's not rustling correctly? With this kind of a wait, the game better come with pitbabes.

Be calm, they'll have it out soon. ...Atleast before 2020 I hope.

i know this may sound insane but i'm not too bothered i'm currently saving up the money to buy the collecters edition and the steering wheel so with the delay i have more time to gather up money

I hope this game sells well otherwise that huge budget will never be recover. GT5 is a risky game to make probably because of all the license cars and contents in the game, hope it doesn't end up like GT PSP. Yamauchi probably put all his 401Ks in to making this game, hope all you GT fans could see that he still care.

i hope coming before christmas enough for stupid excuses for sony and polyphony

GT Forever, let hope it doesn't come to that

This game is two more delays away from a lawsuit and being handed over to Gearbox.... >.>

Totally agree with Pelon208

As long as it comes out in December i'll be happy. But seriously Polyphony, Sony, this better be the greatest racing game of all time!

sad..

I wat my money back damit, i just preorder this f..... Game and now im sure it will be coming Q2 2011 this is getting f..... Ridiculous im so f...... Angry. I bought a G25 for this Game and now it gets delayed again #%$££$#@&€

Honestly, is anyone surprised....

Better be the best racing game ever.

Wow lol, again? This is beyond a joke now.

This just keeps getting worse. Besides announcing a delay at an unprecedented time (about 2 weeks before release), they can't even give us a guarantee it will be out THIS YEAR? At this point they should have just released the damn game and patched any little problems later. I'm sure there will be patches no matter how much they tried to perfect it. That's the nature of game development now. And they should not be saying they are trying to make the game perfect, that is a falacy, nothing is ever perfect.

Saw this coming but I was hoping it wouldn't. This is totally worth it. I'll wait a month longer than the Nov 2nd date, I've gone this far. Also, gives me a chance to buy and catch up on over due games but I'll be pissed if I bought a game and the GT5 delay isn't long and won't have enough cash by that time. What puzzles me with a budget that huge and with so many delays, I just wonder how SCE is reacting to this. Apart from being owned by Sony, maybe Polyphony Digital does have a sense of loyalty to the PlayStation.

That whole "the delay is to improve the game" excuse is ok and fine the first two delays, but after the third, fourth, and fifth, it's fair to say that no excuse or explination is good enough anymore.

PS3 owners on pins a needles..... Can't wait for this game to come out...

More than 12 exclusives games for the PS3 coming next year, disc free Netflix, free online, and amazing PS Home. It's good to be PS3 owner in 2011/late 2010.

Doesn't those cars appear to be moving slow?
