One of the odder points of Sony’s press conference at E3 this year was the unveiling of Polyphany Digital’s newest enhancement for Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, called GT TV. Apparently, GT TV and the additional content planned for Prologue has taken the front seat, while GT 5 is almost completely off the radar. In an IGN E3 interview with Polyphony executive Kazunori Yamauchi, it was revealed that we might not see Gran Turismo 5 until 2010.
There's no plans in the works for GT5 yet - that might be 2009, or it might be 2010... But we're totally focused on getting the updates through for Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, and that's all we're focused on.
Maybe I’m still a little too old school, but I find a game built upon the premise of buying additional content to be a bit disconcerting. I suppose I was under the impression that Prologue was a short-term placeholder for the real game. To know that I could be asked to keep supporting Prologue via content for the next year or two is not a good thing to be asking, even if its just videos and better physics. How do you guys feel about waiting for the "real" title?

this is not a trend I want to support.
Pay $40 for the right to pay even more money to finance a game that won't come out for two more years and, predicatably, stomach a physics engine that obsessively flings you into the walls for the sake of realism rather than fun?
No.
The full game has a current release window of Spring Two-thousand-never.
Thing is...we already have GTTV for GT5:P. It just needs more videos! Personally ?I'm waiting for the Top Gear content. Which, by the way, if they charge me for (after fully paying the BBC licence fee) I will throw a massive hissy fit over.
I'm just gonna wait till Sony releases the PS4 and grab this with a cheap PS3.
When's the PSP GT coming out guys?
If this isn't met with much opposition (it hasn't been so far) I'm sure most developers that are doing a game that can be built track-by-track and car-by-car will follow Polyphony's lead.
Racing games will then get expensive just like MMOs. On the plus side they will have even more massive amounts of content than previously though.
i would have thought i would be getting GT TV for free after that. either Polyphony is money grubbing like crazy or they're running into major walls trying to get the most out of the PS3.
when i play GT5:P then i play Forza 2. Honestly, i think forza looks better. GT5:P has those sharp lines but it lacks any particle effects, any damage, any day/night/weather cycles, & generally has crappy physics in comparison.
i hope hope hope that Polyphony pulls off a miracle & GT5 is a big step above GT5:P but i'm not holding my breath. imo, their goals are too lofty for the PS3 to achieve. they were promised a god machine & ended up w/ something average.
The real epic fail is your spelling of the word "lose".
This does suck though... why not at a few more tracks and cars and just call it GT5. That will make the wait for the real GT5 (or 6 if you follow my thinking) much more bearable.
Unlucky SONY.
