I'm talking about JP launch...10/1 in Europe and NA IIRC...

GT Mobile will be releasing 8th October 2009 in Japan, shall I e-mail you that information again?

I think EA's contract with NASCAR ends this year, so GT5 would have to come out in 2010

GT PSP is Oct 8 2009 for Japan.

Sony has stated on multiple occasions their hope and intention of releasing GT5 this holiday. If the game is anywhere near as ready as Yamauchi suggests it is, then there pretty much is no way the game won't by out by Christmas, just as Amar's hint suggested.

And for everyone thinking that GT5's lack of a presence at E3 means the game has little chance of releasing this year, I'd also like to share this clip of an interview with Yamauchi done by Ahmed Al Azmi, the winner of the GT5: Prologue Middle East Challange late last year.


First of all I asked him about the Nurburgring. When its coming, and what is taking it so long? And I told him that alot of people are waiting for such a great track.

Kazunori simply said it's gonna be in GT5.

Then I said GT5?!!!! Oh my God!! Thats way to far from now. 

Yamauchi: *laughs* "Why are you saying that?"

Azmi: "Because from of what I know is that the team still hasn't thought about even targeting a release date for GT5, and to be honest I don't believe GT5 will come within 2 years, which is a long time."

Yamauchi: "2 years?" *laughs* "No, no. Dont worry much about that, it's gonna be sooner than expected."

Azmi: "Any hint about when?"

He laughed again and said soon.

And then later in the same interview...



Yamauchi: "We just released the Spec III update and about future updates there is for sure."

Azmi: "Is it soon?"

Yamauchi: *smiles* "We will anounce it in our website before there is any update, but we will only anounce the information just before an update is goin to be released in a couple of days like what we did with Spec III. Even GT5 will release in the same way." *laughs* "We will do everything as a surprise."

Dude invizimals makes me wanna buy a psp camera XD

WUT !

The Games Conviction ! XD that sounds dangerous haha

@Seihyouken

Wuuuuuh that's very interesting !

my 2 cents :

well, Sony should REALLY release GT5 in pair with Forza3 + 100$ pricecut

If they only cut the price, then a AAAAA racing title will have no competition for Xmas in PAL and a lot of people will switch to Xbox360 because, I think, forza3 is enought strong by itself to attract ancient GT fans

if they only release GT5 without cutting the price, then PS3 will be attractive BUT the price wil still be too high for many people ... that will finally go Xbox360 ...

I really think that if Sony loses this Xmas (with average sales) then it will be dead for them in the future and that they will begin to lose more and more ground to the Xbox360

Gameplay will be seen at GamesConvention in Leipzig and GT5 will see a Christmas release in Europe and NA, since Japan has FFXIII they need a big release in those markets too, top that with a pricecut and a slim PS3.

interesting post

cheers
