GT5 delayed
- Thread starter SiD the Turtle
- Start date
I don't, it's why DNF got canned
That went on so long they realised it wasn't going to be the greatest game in the universe so they had to can it
Makes more sense cheers, the only date they have ever mentioned was the March 10 one, which they apologised about it being delayed today, this is the only date PD has mentioned. Many people "in the know" and retailers have put a release date in listing that has come from them and not Sony/PD. Im pretty sure from what i have read and experienced from the TT, that the physics model has changed from GT5P and they have added damage to all cars including interior damage on some cars. Ideally it would be done like T10 did, we all knew they was making it and it was formally announced at E3 to come out a few months later.
What crazy estimates were those? The Jap release of GT5 was only scheduled for a March release, whereas God of War is scheduled for a worldwide release in March. There was never any chance of GT5 beating god of war 3 to the European market. Then there's also the fact that the developers of GT are renowned for delays whereas the god of war fellas are pretty accurate

Nowhere has stated how long the EU version would be released after the Japan one. I did not think it implausible it would be a week or 2 after tbh (March 10th). I think with the game being "done and ready to release anytime" that most translation etc is done.
If the God of War people are so accurate why is a date for God of War collection for EU so elusive when the game is already completed and released stateside

The JPN release for GT5 was March 10 as in 2010 not March 10th. Oh dear
Ah, my mistake. Oh well, I am going to cancel the pre-order and see if I can then use the code to get God of War 3 "cheap". Either way the amount of delays this game has had is still ridiculous, whether it has been implied release time frames, or actual dates. It is not hard for PD or Sony to just say, loudly, we don;t know when it is coming out, and stick to that until the Game goes gold or something like that.

I can see what you're saying, the but the complete lack of a EU/US release date surely must have indicated they would be quite a while apart?
As for the GoW collection, they've never actually said when it would be released in the EU until recently, so technically they haven't been inaccurate, just slow

I don't think the releases will be far apart, i suspect it will be sub one month, but will have to wait and see, as no-one knows for certain.
As for God of War collection, they stated early 2010 for EU, in November last year. Whilst March would still be early 2010, I think most sensible people would have assumed earlier, and certainly I hope that the release in the EU is not at the same time (or a week or 2 before) GOW3, or only as a bundle, but anyway that is for another thread.
So anyway... Wonder if GT5 will be released before Alan Wake. Both quite hyped games for their respective consoles, with either delays or "vague" "time frames" for release. I think Alan Wake is due May 2010, wonder if GT5 will be later...
edit: Discount code has expired. Excellent!

I'm not referring to exact date although the march thing is annoying also I'm talking about the way fans have been in limbo and waiting for gt5 since not long after prologues release also I apreciate that physics can be improved however I highly doubt they built a new model from scratch all they needed to do it's add more and tweak on what they had already created. Look I just think that as a company polyphony digital could be a lot more honest, efficient , grounded and respectful less lazy and I'm not being funny but considering the development time gtpsp has no career which is just a ridiculous decision.

RP I made the same mistake as you 
Regards the PSP version Ive never played it, although its not the typical GT career game is it that bad or so little fun to play?
Personally I wouldnt see myself playing a PSP game for hours upon end so again I wouldnt bother that much with a full career mode. When GT5 arrives isnt it possible to transfer cars from one to another? This may help the PSPs aparent silly garage mode and likewise transferring unlocked cars in the PSP game to use in GT5. I think that will add value to the game.
Still though how many PSP driving games have 800+ cars, approx 70 track layouts, graphics to match and offer that impressive 60 FPS? Then as well how many have compatibility with a PS3 version?
Personally Id of preferred 8 cars to race and 30FPS but surely with the average score being about a 7 why is it so much an issue the game isnt like the home console versions.
Its initial target was to appeal to people that liked the series but also to introduce GT to new and younger markets. I also think they had to rush the title and have it ready for the PSP Go launch. This must have interrupted GT5 development as we were told GT-PSP would arrive after GT5 as all development was being focused on it. So again at some point a decision was made to develop the PSP version sooner.
GT5
Anyways Im hedging my bets on an Spring/April release and do beleive that part of the reason is as now announced on GTP as financial reasons regards sales targets and shareholders.
Search on YT for a Fox interview with the CEO Jack Tretton. This was done prior to Chirstmas and he said then PS3 was having its best ever period. So his and Sonys targets are in the bag. It could very well be they want GT5 sales to kickstart fiscial year of 2010/2011.

The graphics are not as good as you may think, I know this is a PSP but I bought a PSPGo solely for GT and it's somewhere between PSX and PS2 quality. Definitely not up to Gran Turismo 3 standards. Graphics aren't everything though and here's a copy and paste of what I've already said on GT for the PSP.
