So when is Gran Turismo 5 coming out?

It got delayed the other day and I'm not happy about that, but I am really looking forward to GT5. So when's it out?

Before the end of the year.

before the year ends.

Sony is the one to blame. GT5 was ready to be shipped, but ever since the 'Jailbreak' incident, Sony wanted every game to require a firmware version of 3.42 or higher. so it took Polyphony 2 days or so to implement the whole thing, but then there were no slots available immediately for Bluray production. since the game got delayed a couple of days, the factory that writes and produces Bluray has their schedule loaded with producing movies (B-rated ones that no one cares about). and so Sony has to wait for the company to finish their current Bluray productions so that GT5 will be ready to be manufactured.

I still think its coming out next year maybe early next year but next year non the less

supposedly its coming out before christmas this year but who knows maybe another magic delay will delay the game until next year which wouldnt suprise me at all.

Like I said it is manufacturing issues. I had it confirmed today.

The problem arose when SCE mandated SDK 350 on all games releasing after after October, GT5 was about to go gold running on SDK 341, but it has been delayed by around a week so that they can update to SDK 350. This has caused a big headache for the manufacturing side, given how big this game is missing the gold date by even a week can cause a months worth of delay as slots are already taken up at this time of year for Blu-ray movies and such. So Sony had to find a 3 week slot big enough to make 7m+ copies of this and get them shipped out.

If you want to blame anyone, I would direct it at the pirates and hackers, SCE never had any real SDK restrictions before firmware 3.41 was compromised.

Not getting the sudden influx of GT5 topics today.FIipMode

Although the TCs of these kind of topics tend to avoid the hype thread.

If it dosent come out this year, I would be suprised if anyone even cared anymore.

So many threads on this game, yet the hype thread is nowhere to be seen. Awesome, just awesome.

At this point, this game cannot possbily meet expectations.

If it doesn't get released this holiday, might as well call it vaporware. :?

Well, some game had to step up and fill the void left by Duke Nukem Forever.

At the end of November

Clearly when Hell freezes over. Or the 12th of Never. Whichever comes second.

I think it will be 2011.
