Rofl. They set back the release date because they know they can't compete with Forza 3 right now. Yamauchi is trying to polish the game as much as possible.

@ Infamy
how's it competition when both Forza and GT are console exclusive?

@ Steel Brotha:

I doubt PD wants to be outdone by T10 in terms of reviews and praise.. have you seen the positive responses F3 is getting as of late?

If GT5 released in December like it was supposed to, it would've paled in comparison to F3. Just like the insideracingsim reviewers said, it's obvious they're going back and trying to polish it up after seeing F3.

I think Forza is currently proving that you don't need roughly 4-5 years to develop an excellent racing simulator... unless they are developing something unforeseen which we wouldn't know about at this time. I guess the comments can be made after the game's release.

@mirage and rel
Actually to some creating games is an artform, and making the best possible experience for the players takes top priority over money, and I rather like that approach then trying to justify half assness with business reasons.

Honestly to me GT5 looks better than forza 3 right now, and its development isn't even finished yet.That really says something.If I honestly did wanta sim racer (I don't I'm more of a burnout man myself) I'd would be waiting for gt5.

Sure Polyphony. Sure.

"Oh no it's okay. I can quit whenever I want to."

"Actually to some creating games is an artform, and making the best possible experience for the players takes top priority over money"

That's such a false excuse commonly used to defend PD, as if they were the only ones that pay a lot attention to detail and the others just don't. It is just matter of watching some vids and reading interviews, to realize that the guys at Forza are as passionate and meticulous. And the guys at iRacing have demonstrated that the ultimate experience can be achieved without ridiculously long development time.

@Black Nexus

I do believe that games are an artform but you are kidding yourself if you think Yamauchi doesn't care about money. He has a development staff that he has to take care of.

The topic at hand is that they are saying it could be released at anytime. Why do they continue to delay it if it is ready to go??

How about when it's ready? Or is that asking too much?

I dont think they could release it anytime they want. They have only recently implemented the crash physics, and i feel if they were to release it with that in a poor shape, that it might just be the last GT. Really this game must have cost a shitton to produce at this point, and so far no sales.

@Djix
I know in a time of coprate greed and a crazy killer recession caring about ones product over funds may seem like an lost art, but some people still do.

As far as interviews go anybody can smile for a camera and look passionate ,hell a few of my jobs have required me to do so.

Not that I'm saying their not passionate but speeches are ultimately just a form of PR that I ignore because its a lot easier to be deceptive than most people realize( again not saying they don't care).

As for the rest I couldn't care less about defending PD,but their out to make the ultimate driving experience, and it looks like nothing I've ever seen before (forza included) and that's something I can respect.

@Mirage
I said it took priority, not that it was the sole priority. As for why there delaying it, they feel they can make it better, ultimate, so he continues to work on it. And I say let him, even if he is chasing a pipe dream some of mans greatest creations came to be because someone decided to chase a dream.

Wow JDigi... Can you say fanboy??

I was not attempting to state a fact but merely speculating on the possibility that 2 games would gross more than 1.

Thank you for spending the last couple of hours compiling data to support your fanboyism.

Good luck with your life, boy.

@JDigital

Wow, you are a total douchebag.

i hope they dont release it now...... i'll bet one of my balls(japp THAT balls) they will have to patch it. put in cars, tracks, music and make it WORK dammit

@ JDigital

"I bet GT5 sells 8-10 million copies in the first year alone. Quote me on it."

I will.

Considering there have been less than 30 million PS3 units sold worldwide (according to my Google search), one in every three PS3 owners must buy a copy of GT5 in the first year.

You might wanna buy two yourself, just to make sure.

@mirage

Just shut the fuck up and get out of this blog.

@JACK of No Trades

Yes sir!

@ JDigital

"But if anything could ever be called a "system-seller", GT5 would be it..."

I agree completely, and once I've saved up enough for my PS3 I plan on at least renting it if not buying it (same with Forza). I only got into it with you because you attacked the rewind feature, which I wholeheartedly welcome. I enjoy the "sim" aspect of a game as much as the next guy, but sometimes I just wanna get drunk and race around the track, watching the gorgeous scenery fly by. Nothing wrong with that.

@JDigital
I personally avoid forum pissing matches like the plague, however knowing lots of people with alot of dedicated Track Cars "everything from Z06's to F355's" and i'm talking dedicated to the track they have to be trailered there because they are no longer street legal. If you are damaging tracks and totalling cars not only are you a Fanboy but a HOON as well, and you are propably avoided on the track like the plague. And oh yeah just an fyi all of these people use triple screen FORZA 2 setups for there sims "i guess something has to separate the Pro's from the JOE'S. lol

I'v got something to tell you mrandydixon. I smoke rocks!

Black Nexus:
You have to tell me how do you get into PD's studio, otherwise you are eating the same PR you don't want to eat from Turn 10. I don't even care about making a Forza vs GT argument here, my problem is that I see the same passion in every racing sim developer out there, including PD. And I think all these developers want to create the ultimate driving experience. So far T10 and iRacing are the ones closer to that goal, in my humble opinion.

Is it Friday already?? Oh no, my mistake....

Calm the fudge down JDigital, you will get your GT Fix at some point Im sure. Just not for a while.

I'll proably have Forza 4 by then.

And you dont need to USE the rewind, its like the other assists, just turn them off. Why dont you give Forza a chance? Or do you own all the consoles and just dont like Forza?

The man kinda made this genre popular. You control a franchise that has sold 50+ million copies. Do what ya want to. I would rather have them polish it than just throw it out there to silence a bunch of internet idiots.

"If you like sims, check out a PS3, GT5(prologue), and a Logitech G25/27.
Fanatec is making some nice wheels also if you can get your hands on one."

Or check out the real sims that are out for the pc

DO NOT LISTEN TO THE FANBOY
