Forums - Sony - Sony: GT5 "still about a year away"

With MGS4, GTA4 and other great games this year this is a good decision.



Around the Network

GT 5 will be out late 2008/ early 2009.

Gran Turismo fans still have around 12 months to wait for a full sequel to appear on PS3, according to SCEA.

"Also, to further clarify, GT5 is still about a year away. You should just decide now to buy it, enjoy it, go online and race against anyone and everyone, rank number one worldwide, get the girl (or guy) and become the most popular kid in town. The end.", Chris Hinojosa-Miranda, associate producer, SCEA, has said.

The last we heard on a release date for GT5 came from the mouth of the game's director Kaunori Yamauchi who said it could be pushed back as far as late 2008. Seems he needed to add a few months on top.

Still, at least GT5 Prologue is out tomorrow.


Why should we decide to buy it now if we don't haven't even read any reviews?  I do that for *very* few games.

GT5 wouldn't make you the most popular kid in town.  I've sat around with some friends playing Gran Turismo 3 right after the PS2 was released in North America, and it was pretty fun.  But it doesn't come close to the blast that the same group of friends and I had with Smash Brothers.

So if you want to be the most popular kid in town, wouldn't you get Smash Brothers Brawl and instead of deciding to get GT5 more than a year from now?

You're kidding right?

April: GTA4
June: MGS4
Christmas:..............

Hmmm, let me think, when is the most important time to have a big game out?
(360 will have Gears of War 2, not exactly a small fish).

@Benga

PS3 will have Killzone 2, Resistance 2, Little Big Planet and some others that i forget... Hardly nothing like you suggest!



While this doesn't really surprise me, playing the mini-game "Delayed Release" in my XMB is getting really old, really fast. After a few minutes, I usually get angry and turn off the console.

Think they mentioned it takes months to do 1 car or maybe it was 1 track can't recall. Honestly I think the timing is about right since it was taking them 2-3 years on the PS2 it must be 4-5 years for the PS3 to do what they want.

If I recall correctly it was 180 days to make one GT5 car.

I did a google search for 180 days gran turismo this is what i found

* Yamauchi said for GT1, one car was one day’s work for one man, GT3 was one man’s work for 30 days, and GT5 one car is one man’s work for 180 days!

for one man. I'm sure there are a couple of teams with 3 or 4 men.

 If you are going to troll at least look at what games are coming out and make a better argument....pathetic.
