Sony America's Taku Imasaki, producer on Gran Turismo 5, recently explained to a positively irate New York Times why the infamously tardy racer was recently bumped from its no, seriously, this time we mean it release date of November 2. "We're really close, but this was an executive decision that was made yesterday [Oct. 12]," Imasaki said. "Realistically, we thought we had a good date. We're not happy over here."

Imasaki later reiterated that Sony "is shooting for it to be out by the holidays," but added, "you won't see too much more delay." We'd ... we'd like to hear a more definitive response than that. Not that we'd, you know, believe it, but still.

Jesus. This takes the "when its finished" developer philosophy to the extreme.

GT5 better be the second coming of racing games or I doubt anyone is going to wait around for the next GT game. I really hope this game lives up to the expectations and hype because the old old demo of GT5 wasn't terribly impressive.

[Wintermute]

it'll be out by time the PS4 rolls around.

No, by then it'll be announced as a PS4 release title and delayed constantly as it's updated to bring it up to par with the PS4's potential.

[Gekii]

never comin out

[Kaisha]

Really makes me wonder how the fuck GT5: Prologue made it to retail. That must have been a miracle.

[Qalbert]

at this rate it's not entirely impossible that Duke Nukem Forever will come out first.

or diablo3

at least i just got my triple so i can play prologue for a while till it comes out.

[avelle]

Like Lucavi, I'll be getting my fix by playing NFS: Hot Pursuit a while. I haven't been holding my breath for this game and don't plan on starting.

It'll be a short delay. Rumors are because they are putting the latest firmware on the disc because of the recent piracy outbreak on the PS3. Makes sense, unless ps homebrew scene comes out with a custom firmware ASAP, or finds a way of removing the need for the game to run on a higher firmware, then they will have to choose between upgrading firmware and losing the ability to run backups and pirated games, or losing out on playing one of the possible biggest releases on the PS3.

We'll see how this pans out.

I will not be held responsible for my actions if this game is not out before christmas

Gran Turismo 5's fastest car outclasses the rest of the PlayStation 3 game's line-up for a very good reason — it doesn't really exist.

But the Red Bull Racing X1 Prototype was designed to do one thing: be fast. It was created in the PS3 game to be the "fastest racing car on Earth, free of any and all regulations," and was crafted by a man who would know what those regulations are. You can see it in action for the first time in a new video of the X1 Prototype.

"X1 sees the marriage of virtual and real worlds as we explore the boundaries of our technology and aesthetic senses," says Polyphony's Kazunori Yamauchi. "The X1 Prototype Project has been motivated by curiosity and passion, powerful forces that brought together the best the world has to offer in design, physics simulation, racing car product technology and driving."

More details at the official Gran Turismo web site.

0-60mph: 1.4sec
0-120mph: 2.8sec
0-200mph: 6.1sec
Maximum Speed: Over 280mph (450km/h+)
Maximum Longitudinal or Lateral Acceleration: 8.25G at 300km/h

Wow sounds like if it did exist you would need a flight suit just to be able to drive it. Still cant wait for the game... have they announced the new release date yet?

[Omniyoji]

Nope, no new release date but more new info:

http://www.gtplanet.net/tuned-car-tr...zine-features/

- Mechanical damage and failure will include things such as broken gearboxes, brake failures, and stalled engines.
- Both premium and standard model cars will include fully operational reverse lights, horns, and will accumulate dirt and grime which must be washed off by these guys.
- More features are re-confirmed, such as imprecise weather forecasts, point-to-point timed rally stages, time-of-day synchronization between virtual circuits and their real-world locations, and official NASCAR rules and regulations.

- Heavy snow accumulation will continue to make the track more slippery, and “ruts” will be carved into the snow as you drive to make conditions even more challenging.
- You’ll be able to create and define your own special events within the game, presumably giving you complete control over all race variables and competitors.
- In B-Spec mode, you’ll simultaneously manage the racing careers of up to six different drivers. You will have to push them, but take it too far and their morale and performance will suffer. For 24-hour endurance events, you will choose four of your drivers to compete together on your race team.
- You will be able to trade cars with your friends – including those which you have tweaked and tuned for maximum performance.

B-Spec. B-Spec. B-SPEC. B-FUCKING SPEC!!

God, give me this game. Please.

...Please.
