this game isnt rushed, it has been in development for a long time, but throughout that time theu shifted focus and well. we got GT-PSP, but its only there first game on the portable so GT-PSP 2 will be alot better, alot of devs miss the first strike

cant wait for GT5

I think the most troubling aspect is that PD was a bit too ambitious with the PSP. They locked in at 60fps so only 4 cars and made a totally asenin decison to exclude features that people play videogames for.

Not sure wtf they were thinking with no career or unlockables but either theyve lost touch with the market or they just didnt playtest it outside the company enough.

Well.. it should have been released in 2005 like it was supposed to be...

I still want that white gt psp....

And of course Sony released official images like these in 2004...
I'm actually thinking they delayed the release of the PSP version because they knew GT5 wasn't going to be released soon in 2005..
Yes I believe we are playing a 4 year old game... with features that would have been fine in 2005..

I believe you but I still have to ask for source?

p.s. I'm getting GT portable for certain. My b-day is Oct 25 so it'll likely be a birthday gift

There is no specific source, it's really not worth looking as there's only little snippets here are there. The pic above says it all though. Not that it matters, personally don't think it seems that bad really. Couldn't really expect a whole GT game on a handheld imo, just wouldn't make sense with GT5 round the corner.

5 yrs naw maybe 5 days lol

So your sure it was in development for five years, how do you know the original showing could have been gt4 and gt psp might not have been started till like 2 years ago and they were just working on the ps3 version and hopefully it will be a lot better and they sacrificed quality on the psp version to make the full gt5 awesome because i loved gt5p all they needed to do was add damage and more cars.

My guess is that development didn't start until after the announcement, AND the game was put on hold alot.

KZ2 was announced June05 at E3, but development didn't start until End of 05/Begining of 06.

I feel compelled to point out the obvious here: I'm pretty sure that when a game is "on hold" it can't also be "in development." I believe the two terms are mutually exclusive.

A game can be in development for five years and still be rushed.

If they miss deadlines, things get put on hold, or things take longer than planned no matter what the dev cycle is a game can be rushes.

Those above three things happen all the time and there are even more things that could happen. I'm not saying the game was rushed, I actually know nothing about it, I'm just saying that just because the game was in development for 5 years doesn't mean it couldn't be rushed.
