Gran Tursimo 5 isn't even finished yet. Hmph.

[SaitoH]

Solidsnakex gathered all the info for GT5 from Gamescom thus far:

Some cool stuff there. The dynamic weather and day/night cycle sound interesting.

And the PSP car transfer thing...hrm...maybe I should actually play my copy of GTPSP

I can't tell if the handling is just really floaty in that video or the dude driving just sucks.

Either way, I can't wait to try it myself.

There's a couple videos on Gamersyde and the guy driving is terrible in both videos.

I love the interface. I realize that's a pretty lame thing to be excited about, but it's just so well designed. And I'm super-excited to take 8 MP screens in the photo mode.

(also... 3D)

[GSRJedi]

At SDCC they had GT5 set up with the 3D and I didn't even notice anything special outside of the menus. In the actual racing it didn't have a huge impact

B-spec sounds pretty cool.

[PlayerOneStewy]

It was pretty much a throwaway feature in GT4. Hopefully it's a bit more interesting this time.

[Wenny]

It'll be interesting to see how the track creation works and how full featured it is. Also, including Lamborghini Miura is awesome.

[PlayerOneStewy]

More pretty pictures. I think the windowed stuff might be the online spectator mode.

Also looks like they've gotten a few more NASCAR teams - I can see Hendrick, Ganassi, Red Bull, and Gibbs cars in those shots.

Good thing F1 2010 is awesome. I haven't loved a racing game this much in a long time. And I'm getting into Sega Rally Revo again, so I can wait a little longer.

[PlayerOneStewy]

I'm speechless. I am without speech.

[mik]

Maybe they decided having a Godly 2011 lineup wasn't enough. They need the lineup of the forever.

[KinectFan]

The delay is annoying, but it sounds like it won't be too long. They're saying it's still out before Christmas.

Definitely an unfortunate thing for Sony as a business. That November 2nd date was perfect from a marketing and sales perspective, so if this slips into December they're going to miss those Black Friday sales numbers. Not good, but I'm happy I'll still have it relatively soon.

That November 2nd date was also perfect because nothing else I was interested in was coming out that week.

[Indy aka Rex]

This gives me time to save up for a G27... I hope BB has it on sale for 150 again.

[juanster]

I was thinking about picking up a wheel, but I've decided to buy the HKS controller when it comes out.

Well, there's $60 I can spend on XMas presents for the kids instead. Oh well.

[Indy aka Rex]

What frustrates me is that, really, if this is over some final fine-tuning then... patch it post-release. I don't care any more at this point I just want to play the damn game...

Thank goodness your life doesn't depend on playing it in November. Or does it?

It might, it's either Gran Turismo or living my racing dreams on a small highway during rush hour.

You live so fast and furiously down there.

This... this is hilarious.

[Fahrenhype]

I'm typically in favor of giving developers room to make a product as they see fit but this is ridiculous. What the hell is Sony's plan for November and December? They already delayed LBP2 and SOCOM 4. Their publishing schedule for the rest of the year now looks as barren as Microsoft, but MS at least bothered to get Halo Reach out before going all out with the Kinect nonsense. And next winter/spring is already crowded enough from all the games that got delayed because of Black Ops. This might be the leanest fall since 2003.

Fortunately I've got about half a dozen games from earlier in the year that I still need to play. I've never seen a year so lopsided in favor of the first half releases.

[Compeau]

I totally called it

[PlayerOneStewy]

Not yet.

[levitynyc]

Will GT5 or Duke Nukem Forever come out first?

Will GT5 or Duke Nukem Forever come out first?

Considering Duke Nukem Forever was supposed to come out the same year as the first Gran Turismo, they are not even in the same league. GT5 would have to get delayed to next summer to even be in Half-Life 2 territory.

Sony's problem is GT4 was released not long before the new hardware cycle started, and they always show some type of GT video at every E3. It made it seems as if the game had been delayed five times before they even gave an actual release date for this past spring.

I think their bigger problem could be racer fatigue brought on by constant releases by EA and other companies. All of those racers released in May tanked, and I don't really know what the last realistic racing game was that was a big hit. Forza 3 doesn't even stay in the top ten on Xbox Live. Just incredibly sloppy work on the publishing side to be left hanging without one real AAA exclusive for the holidays and back to being 33% more expensive than competing hardware. I guess the release of Uncharted 2 to today marks one year of good PR for Sony that is coming to an end.

[PlayerOneStewy]

They're still saying it'll be out in the holiday season.

Which holiday, Valentine's Day? Easter?

[levitynyc]

Flag Day.

[Wenny]

Every day's a holiday.

[Compeau]

[lactose]

I had hope when they gave an actual date (Nov 2) that this would ship.

Moving this to the "Holiday Season" bucket is disappointing. Anyone want to hazard a guess as to when this will be available? I am going to say Feb 2011.

I'm going to bet it's the first week of December.

I hope you 're right -

Who's up for some forza multiplayer?

[Compeau]

I'm going to bet it's the first week of December.

That's certainly what they're planning on. I have no faith in Polyphony to deliver on any sort of schedule.

[Wenny]

Remember when GT2 was delayed to Dec 23rd? See, there's established precedence for this!
