gt5 is over due, by now we should be seeing gt6 at e3 not gt5, gt5 was news back in 2005, we should have been playing it in 2007 but nope, its not even coming this year well maybe it might but early 2010 is more likely. and no, i don't think any game should take FIVE YEARS in the making. that's ridiculous.

Why not? It has way more cars then Forza. Even the PSPGo version has twice as many cars. Why shouldnt it take twice as long? Especially with the studio also working on 2 versions.

forza 3 didnt take 5 years to make and look the game looks just as nice and offers more gaming fun. i think gt5 should have been out at this e3 and rack up sales before forza 3 launches in october.

Show me a Forza title with 800+ cars, Nascar automobiles, Nascar tracks, WSR, various other real life tracks, etc. all while being the most respected amongst car enthusiasts and motor companies around the world and then we can talk about how long something should take.

All I see is half the content in half the time. GT5 is just fine.

*note* Not saying Forza 3 will be a bad game, reviewers and such prove it is a quality title but it wouldn't matter if GT5 launched before, during or after Forza, it will sell better. It is the most respected for a reason. Car makers ask for their cars to be added in for a reason. Magazines, websites, etc... advertise it and praise it for a reason. PD is considered perfectionists in the racing sim genre for a reason.

if it will sell better regardless when than why not put it out right now, its gonna "sell better" anyway right, lol.

Simple. The answer is reputation.

PD can not afford to just dump a game out on the market without it being as perfect as they can possibly make it. These games are not only about the sales but more about keeping things in line with not only what PD and Sony wants but what the auto manufacturers want. You do understand that there is a very good reason why the auto manufacturers ask for their cars to be included instead of PD having to dish out cash right?

A good example is the damage in previous GT games. You think they didn't have damage because they didn't want it? No, it is because high end companies like Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc... would not allow it. When you let a developer use your cars free or charge you have a lot of say in what can and can not be done in the game.

You need a bit to learn before you say what PD should or shouldn't do. You obviously do not understand what Gran Turismo is exactly.
