A few days ago we reported that Gran Turismo 5 would be released by Christmas 2009 in the UK. Sony’s chief executive in southern Europe, James Armstrong, conveyed the release date to Spanish newspaper El Financiero. It appears that the quote taken by the newspaper may have been misconstrued or Armstrong simply spoke out of place. In a recent response to a Videogamer inquiry, a Sony spokesperson conveyed that the release date couldn’t be ascertained at this point in the development process.
Polyphony are working on GT5, but we cannot confirm a launch date at this point in time.
It’s good to know that Polyphony are still on the case, but it makes us wonder what exactly is going on under the hood at the studio. Perhaps they are just waiting until the perfect time to throw up a trailer so amazing our brains will all simultaneously pop. Or perhaps they just work really slow.

I played it for an hour and had my fill, it's nice, but I just can't get in to it like I did GT3.
have fun waiting 10 more years for your crappy game.
But yeah this has been in development for a extremely long time. Which is sad for fans. :(
They also said Id have my flying car by now too, and look where that is.
I love GT3, but jesus this is turning out like the Indiana Jones movie did. By the time it comes out its WAY past its prime, and does anyone really care at that point either? Just let it go, and create something new
I've played the crap out of that "demo" and I now have no desire to play this at all.
In Polyphony's case that would be nearly a decade of optimization and code to rewrite completely if they want to include the goodness from the older titles (which they know sells GT) like the Nürburgring and Special Stage Route 5, PLUS add on yet more vehicles and tracks. A daunting task, indeed, only made more frustrating for fans for being locked to Sony.
I maybe wrong but i heard a rumour going around that we were supposed to be getting private lobbys and extra tracks in a gt5p update but it never happen , just a couple of cars.. and i'm sorry but if they want to keep interest going for the final product, while waiting ludicrous amount of times for its release, then in my opinion we really need a good update with at least a couple of tracks and private lobbys, to keep the fans onside, if not then when it is finally released then game sales may not be what they are hoping or expecting.
