Well, this has been delayed multiple times and was supposed to come out about 2 years ago if I recall correctly so forgive me for being a bit skeptical about "THIS" release date for the game that has infamously been nicknamed Gran Tursimo:Forever

[SunRedRX7]

Its been delayed yes, but I think this might be the 1st time a specific date was given.

I to wouldn't be shocked, but I did pre-order it this time. November 2010 is looking like a busy month for gaming!

[thideras]

*perks up eyebrow*

Maybe I could get a racing game for my PS3 this year. I picked up an original PS3 (60gb) with the intention of buying this game when it was released. Then they came out with the "demo" you could buy, got disinterested and sold the unit. I grabbed one of the newer PS3 units for other uses; this is just a plus. I hope it comes out this year, but I'm with Fudge on this one.

[WonderingSoul]

I will buy a PS3 when this game comes out... Until then, I will continue to just drool at video footage :(

At least my G27 will work with my PS3 too.

[FudgeNuggets]

I have never ordered a collectors edition of a game before, just movies, however this may change my mind although the $40 premium is a bit dubious

At some point they HAVE to release it....it's a Playstation staple...I've never been a fan but I'll be curious to see how it reviews when it does come out. It seems that games that get this long in the tooth on development and multiple delays just don't wow as much as they should when they finally come out.

Agree... see Alan Wake as the last example.

[ArcturusVi]

Hmmmm...

I think I may preorder the collector's edition with just the five down. Rent it, and if I dig it, pay it off.

I am a bit of a nerd for car models, and that is actually a nice looking collector's set. I'm digging the artwork as well.

I just hope it delivers =/ and actually comes out.

i just preordered gt5. i dont even have a PS3.

Gran Tursimo:Forever

LOL So Ironic now.

Gran Turismo 5 has been delayed once more as Sony announces it is to miss its November release date.

Shocking

[insanemonkey]

I would rather they come out with a complete game, then a buggy beta version. As long as it does not become vaporware I will be happy. It is better to delay it then follow the current trend, which is to put out a beta and then patch it or put out DLCs.

[deadlysyn]

Funny, I've always heard Gran Turismo: Never.:p

The bad thing is, I have to say, I'll believe it when I see it. Gran Turismo 5 is getting to be about as bad as Duke Nukem Forever.:rofl::chair:

True, but giving release dates and slipping it for years is getting old. If your not ready don't even give a date just say when its done since obviously they havn't kept there past release dates for this yet.

They had the gameplay down well enough to release a demo big enough that you had to pay for it 2 YEARS ago.

Bugs can push out software a couple months but years is just ridiculous. Forza 2 and Forza 3 play great, both games have been developed and released with in the development cycle for GT5.

At this point either someone keeps changing the requirements for what is supposed to be in the game, or someone is an absolute perfectionist and keeps need to make really tiny tweaks that aren't needed.

[insanemonkey]

I agree that they should not have given a release date. On the other hand though there would be a ton of people complaining and saying that "they just want a release date". I can understand why people are frustrated by this. I am just glad that instead of releasing a game with issues they are fixing them.

My argument hangs on the fact that there is an actual problem with the game. If the game really is ready to release and they are just dealing with internal issue or issues with publishers. Then it is stupid to miss a release date.

[SunRedRX7]

http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2010/10/14/polyphony-say-gt-5-delay-is-just-3-days/
Here’s some good news for everyone that’s still crying big fat tears after yesterday’s Gran Turismo 5 delay news – as far as Polyphony Digital are concerned, the delay’s just 3 days.

I'll believe it when the games running in my PS3.

[ArcturusVi]

I am curious as to why all reports sound so smarmy when referencing fans being upset. It has been six years since the last one, and hasn't it been in development even before that came out?

The demo they have out now is pretty unimpressive. Cars just don't feel like they have mass to them. Hopefully that will change :rolleyes:

And as for releasing the "perfect" game defenses, stop. They can delay to fix bugs all they want, there will still be bugs. Especially online play.

I have a sinking feeling this game will just disappoint.

[Janus67]

apparently the main reason why it was pushed back was because of the PSJailbreak and to push a required (v3.5 I believe) firmware update that breaks the PsJailbreak and requiring it to be installed. They had to add the code before they pressed the disks to force the update/upgrade.

[pwnmachine]

If it means that the game will be more polished at release I'm all for it!

Cool. So people who have no intention of using said update or game won't bother while the rest of us have to wait a bit more. Fantastic.

They are probably going to be doing this to more games to force people to upgrade to the latest firmwares to break peoples ability to use a hacked firmware. Or at least delay that since it will happen with enough will to do so.

most likely, yes. although I'm sure, as we all know, the hackers tend to be one-step-ahead of these things and find ways to remove/spoof the firmware updates.

24th of November is the new date to get your hopes up and then smashed...

I already ordered a PS3. This is the real release date! it has to be >_<

As long as it is in 2010.

amazon changed release date to november 24th. and i got a notification a few hours ago that my preorder is not scheduled to be delivered by the 24th :)

Not to be delivered but you are smiling?

Or was that an attempt to be coy that I did not pick up, or did you mean now?

[jhanby]

Same thing with Play.com. Release date is now 24 November.

[AngelfireUk83]

Tesco.com have put it to 24th as well as GAME and Gamestation Uk

[sandyduff]

I've got mine pre-ordered from play.com... i really hope it gets released this time... :D

http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=132554

here are some videos uploaded. the damage is a bit dissapointing if this is really the max damage, but its better than nothing -_-

[pwnmachine]

I doubt they will skip on this date, since it's useless to release a game like that after the holidays.

[Gabkicks]

8 days to go! if you want to see videos of gt5, this guy who somehow got a copy earlier is throwing them up on youtube.

It's too bad he is absolutely terrible at driving.

[Gabkicks]

yeah lol. i would be too embarrassed to put up videos like that. I will throw some gt5 videos up as soon as i get it on teh 24th.

[Slayn]

Hopefully it won't be pushed back AGAIN. I heard it was pushed back 2 days for Europe, and so far I have not seen copies of this game in stock at work ( Fry's ).

[sandyduff]

Play.com have it listed as IN STOCK!!!! This might actually be it people!!!

http://www.play.com/Games/PlayStation3/4-/1021999/Gran-Turismo-5/Product.html

Edit: Mine has been despatched!!!

[jhanby]

Mine's just been despatched too !

[Slayn]

I just saw the game set up at Fry's Electronics in Orange County. They had it set up with the big screen in front and a logitech racing wheel.

[sandyduff]

I'm super excited... :clap:

[ArcturusVi]

The store I work at will have its copies in on Monday.

[TheDeej]

That's cool, I can't remember where I heard it but I thought it was being pushed to December. Did they say if it has damage or not?

[Gabkicks]

there's damage. standard cars just get dented and engine damage. i thinkthey get dirty too. Premium cars can take more damage. some models like the WRC cars actually can have parts fall off.

[gregers05]

just saw a comercial on tv for it! nov 24th is what it said. im pumped! been waiting for this game wayyyyy too long

[WonderingSoul]

I guess it is finally time to invest in a PS3

[Gabkicks]

My amazon gt5 preorder is at "shipping soon" status now :)

[sandyduff]

dammit mine hasn't arrived a day early... wishful thinking... roll on tomorrow!! :D

[jhanby]

Mine has just arrived at work !

I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming it's arrival !

Unfortantely, I have to wait till half 7 to play it :(

I will be able to play my copy in about 8 hours :)

Probably... i had today off as well... got to work tomorrow!! Dang nabbit!!

Let me know if it's good!!

[jhanby]

Well, the optional 8GB hard disk install seems to be going well so far. It reckons 30 mins for the install.

It is optional though.

This is on top of the 133MB patch as well.

[sandyduff]

Will it load faster if the game is installed...?

The wait must be agonising... i know it is for me!!

[jhanby]

yeah. It says that it will load faster, which is why I installed it.

The game so far is like a much improved version of GT4. Still got the classic smooth GT music when in 'my home'. Graphics are good, sometimes looking like real life. Still a bit of jagged edges on smooth flowing scenes. Driving physics are good and competition is not to hard.

The one bad point is the so called "Damage". Run into a barrier at anything under a 100MPH and you'll bounce off without a dint. For a game that is "The real driving simulator", this isn't very realistic.

[sandyduff]

Considering it's the first GT WITH damage... it's a step in the right direction... :D

[jhanby]

Did it turn up today ?

[sandyduff]

Did it turn up today ?

Nope... I am now majorly pis*ed with play.com/royal mail...

[sandyduff]

So my copy finally turned up... so what are peoples thoughts on this game...?

[Gabkicks]

It's a lot of fun with my setup :) i am level 16 and my b-spec driver is level 5.

I havent done much online racing though :/

[sandyduff]

I am enjoying it... altho i feel even tho it has been 5 years (at least) in the making... it doesn't feel finished to me.

I find it frustrating when you take a car into GT Auto and half of the options can't be performed on said car... this seems to happen a lot and it annoys the hell out of me... I can't even change the wheels on my '92 Honda Civic?!?!? C'mon!!

The graphics are good... not great but good... what really detracts from the visuals are the shadows... when you drive under trees the shadows look like they have doom size pixels... not cool...

Another point is the loading screens... yes some of them are a bit long... but for me, some of them seem unnecessary. When you win a car after a championship or whatever, instead of it going straight into your garage, it goes into "Car delivery" in which you have to select the car you just won... click yes for the option to use it... loading screen... car shows up, get the option to use car now... loading screen... Why can't it just go straight into the garage and cut out two loading screens...?

Also, how the hell do you get a pick-up truck?!?! It's the only one i've not done in the amateur series but no one sells them (unless i missed it) and i've yet to come across one in the used dealership!!

Overall I like it... but was it worth the wait? hmmmmm.....

I would agree with that. I think that the obsessive detail which they put into the 'Premium' cars is more than can be noticed. No cockpit view on all the 'Standard' cars is also a real shame.

Just won the Bugatti Veyron!! Tuned it up to almost 1200hp... reached 260mph... not bad!!

Have you managed to get a pick-up truck??? It's really annoying how they aren't any to be found!!

Can we be friends?

I said the same things and people ostracized me because I wasn't agreeing with all the sites.

For five years, this is not worth it.

In coock-pit view of "standard" cars have no engine noise? With a racing exhaust?

One might say I am a Forza fanboy, but it is the superior GAME. Driving can be argued all day and night, but nobody knows.

Forza has more intuitive menus, better options, consistent graphics which aren't that below GT5 in all honesty.

SOUND: Forza is a whole other league in sound. Rear/mid engine cars have the engine sounds in the rear channels, exhaust as well. V8's have throaty roars, boxers warble, etc.

GT5 damage=lol.

I do enjoy the rally and other aspects, but those things are big pet peeves.

Yes we can... :D

If i had an xbox... i would be all over Forza, but i've only ever played the first one, and i have always loved the GT series...

I agree with your comments about the noise the car makes... some of the cars sound like what they should... but most just have a similar generic sound... and yes, the damage is laughable

These are all minor niggles... the driving is excellent... but i can't help but feel that these niggles shouldn't exist given the development time... I had myself hyped up for this game and it just hasn't delivered. I will play through and complete the game... but after that, I'll probably never touch it again...

It is a great game and has introduced some aspects I pray other games take advantage of. Weather driving was ridiculous.

I just expected more with this wait.
