GT5 will have been in 5 different E3 showings. (first showing E3 2006 as Gran Turismo HD, which was then scrapped and called GT5 in 2007) I think people may stop caring at this point and not feel bad.

Anger and disappointment, yes is perfectly normal when the subject is something you are passionate about.

But it will all disappear and hype level will be at the roof a couple of months before Christmas.

5 E3's... I wonder if that's a record.

But I gotta wonder, how does him pegging the last date wrong make him credible?

Because of delays. But even back then in 2008 he (probably) leaked credible info which the Sony departments had recieved about a projected release date.

Sorry about that. I'm willing to wait for it, but it better be great.

Wat.  GTHD has been available as a free download on the PlayStation Store since the ps3's launch.  It was basically GT4 with a new GUI and higher poly cars.

At E307 they announced GT5: Prologue (and by extension GT5), which launched only five months later in December in Japan.

They didn't really start heavy development on GT5 until late 2006, after they finished up Tourist Trophy for ps2, and during the development of TT, GTHD, and GT5 they were simultaneously developing GT PSP, which only dropped a few months ago.

They haven't been that bad.  They've actually had quite a lot on their plate, while seemingly managing to release not one but two games with ~1000 cars each within a year of each other (assuming GT5 makes it out this year, which is basically a given at this point).

This game better turn out really good, or a lot of people are going to be unhappy.

it makes sense, using GT5 to help smoother the NATAL hype + SONY's own motion

wouldn't it be funny if these "delays" (no official release dates ever given outside Japan afaik) are due to them making a 360 port?
i would seriously rofl
