Here’s some good news for everyone that’s still crying big fat tears after yesterday’s Gran Turismo 5 delay news – as far as Polyphony Digital are concerned, the delay’s just 3 days.

That’s according to Game Reactor, who cite one of their journalists currently at the Japanese developer’s studio who’s directly quoting Kazunori Yamauchi.

Of course, this is a 3 day delay in getting the game mastered and gold, and thus could well translate into a bigger delay to get the game pressed, duplicated, shipped, boxed and distributed, but it’s still looking incredibly likely to hit before Christmas unless further delays manifest.

Of course, three days could be just enough to build in – say - a newer firmware requirement…

THis is from Game Reactor:

A journalist colleague of ours, Gregor Wildermann, who is visiting Tokyo and Polyphony Digital passed on information of what Polyphony Digital head Kazunori Yamauchi had to say about the cancelled release date of Gran Turismo 5.

His reply was that the game was only three days late from their side, and that Sony has to decide what that means for the release. And so far Sony have not given gamers a new date, but hopefully the wait won't have to be that long.

No offence to Kazunori Yamauchi san but I ain't gonna believe this until I see 100%. Then again Nov 2, 3, 4 and 5th dates were supposed to be 100% confirmed dates so... I ain't gonna believe until I see it in my hands.

So it goes on sale the same week ¿WTF?.

but it’s still looking incredibly likely to hit before Christmas unless further delays manifest.

^GET REAL!!! EVERYBODY ALREADY KNOW'S THAT IT WILL BE DELAYED AGAIN UGH

THE GAME WILL NOT HIT RETAIL SHELVES THIS YEAR AND THAT'S THAT!!

Poliphony Digital makes me SICK!! same with Namco-Bandai's localising effort's

>=(

All i can hope is that it is because after watching the bathurst 1000 on sunday that dicided to put the track in the game. Mount Panorama is the best god dam race track in the world.

if you ever go to Australia rember to go there as it is a public road aand drive around it.

rumor has it that the delay is caused by the implementation of a new firmware requirement, to prevent hacking

LOL!!! I really doubt SONY wouldn' t clarify the delay if it was only 3 days......

A three days delay to get the master disc would cause a few days more delay at printing and press cause those machines are occupied with to produce other games/prints... it's not likely to be just 3 days..

i heard a rumor that yamuachi is trying to build a UFO car thats why he delayed it , my trusted source who work at Valve told me so, when he met Peter Moore

did some research and  found out that its few days delay for security reasons to prevent hacking.

This.

Three days for master is more like 1-2 weeks to massive production.
