i still don’t believe it until it’s in my hands
i still wont believe it until i have to buy my first car and get my first trophy for buyin that car…
LOL, let’s see if its true …
cheers!
So now it is delayed to fall because of 3D? Wonder if that will make the proposed dates in the article. I believe they are also delaying release because of the PlayStation Move inclusion in the game. When I read that the Move controller was to be included I was rolling on the floor with laughter. With all the Wheels and Driving pods out there how does the motion contorll fit in, throw out beer bottles when racing??? It does not make sense but that is just another reason to excuse the delay. It is time that they either put up or get out of the game development business.
PD has a contract with Nissan to provide in car graphics for the navigation system so what do they need to do video games for any more…
@SPD55 they are waiting for head-tracking witch becomes available when the move is out
If the official release date in Japan didn’t mean a darned thing, you’ll excuse me for being rather dismissive of speculation based on what somebody heard from somebody, somewhere.
I don’t even think these guys actually have a video game to release with how much they’ve delayed it. lolol
Remember that scene from Dumb and Dumber where Harry is in Mary’s bathroom with the broken toilet and she keeps asking him what he’s doing? He keeps coming up with silly excuses for taking so long.
That scene reminds me of Gran Turismo 5.
“Is everything alright in there?”
“Uhhh, yeah…I’m just…I’m just cleaning my teeth!!”
hahaah nice. Dumb and Dumber for the WIn!
Man, I can’t wait until fall when Jack Tretton shows up at Polyphony and says “Okay, I’m here to pick up GT5. It is releasing this week.” Then the lead developer for GT5 replies, “Uh, yeah about that Jack. Uh, well we’ve just been blowin’ the money you’ve been giving us. We’ve been playing foosball and hiring pole dancers for the past 5 years. Sorry about that. Give us another week and we’ll put something together for you. Promise.”
Definitely? As in Defintitely totally almost maybe kinda sorta possibly going to? Yup. Thats what I thought.
