Sony Puts the Brakes On GT5 Release Date
Gran Turismo 5 has become synonymous with the words delay and coming soon. Sony have yet again commented on Polyphony Digital’s upcoming PlayStation 3 exclusives’ release date. What do they say this time? Apparently there will be even more waiting.
Speaking in an interview with GameTrust, Sony Germany’s product manager assures fans that the racing simulators’ release date will be made soon.
You just have to wait a little longer until we announce a new date, only some days…or weeks.
We know that the fans are waiting for it and we want to release it too. I think that it’s more painful for us than for the fans that we couldn’t hold the last date. The next time we announce a release date we’ll be one-hundred per cent sure that we can hold it and won’t make the mistake we did with the March date.
Sony and Polyphony Digital delayed the Japan release date for the racer back in March.
Yamauchi will apparently be announcing the official Gran Turismo 5 release date soon. An E3 announcement is certainly becoming likely.

This is gonna be Sonys big announcement for E3 GT5 comes out holiday 2010
I’m not pissed off, I will however if i find out it was all because of 3d.
Ya know, we haven’t heard about a PS4 in any official manner but I’m beginning to wonder if it will come out before GT5 …
Thank you, perseus. It’s great to see that there are others in the community that can understand what is really being said. No more delays have been given since there hasn’t been an official release date since the original one was given.
headlines/tittles are suppose to be deceiving to catch interest of readers. hey i read it because it said “put the breaks” so i thought of another delay and i read the article lol. but i didnt read this news anywhere else and im glad psls reported it. im glad the next release date sony puts on gt5 will be a sure thing and not upset fans again like they did in march.
i usually read 5 notable gaming websites and not much said anything about gt5 release date or how sony/poly feels about the issue (that i read) besides videos, screenshots, and opinions on the game. so in a way, psls reporting this is good. satisfies me that they are serious about their next release date
by the way psls is one of those 5 gaming sites i read. i love this site. sometimes they report what other big websites dont. what other website reported on the huge announcement update from zipper?? i wouldnt of none about it
they also give home love and update their readers on home news that other websites dont write about. this is just to name a few i really want to keep this short cause i wanna play some MAG
@ above…lol too funny the part about keeping it short to go play MAG.
You know they should just make like a tidbits section where they release multiple stories on one page. Each story would be what 3-5 sentences but it could be longer if they wished. They’d get to release it everyday at the end of the day or if nothing is new then perhaps the next day or the next. Kind of like a magazine.
Eh just a thought. I’m glad they are taking their time, but im starting to wonder are they telling us this because someone is asking them or are they just telling us to keep us up to date. I would say just don’t worry about it till they announce a date…you know.
No, no it’s not more painful for you.
I understand not releasing it early, even holding off for a month or two. But seriously, this is just retarded. And not in a good Black Eye Peas way.
Gt5 release date……2087 lol
and here i was thinking this was becoming Sony’s Duke Nuk’em Forever.
“breaks”? Did you mean “brakes”?
I’m equally confused and disinterested. Thanks for that.
Well, firstly, the announcement from Sony has been acknowledged by GTPlanet, so sorry Perseus, I think I’ll go with them, over your rantings.
Secondly, I do have to say Zak, that while I do support your efforts to simply push information out to the public, I need to correct you on the ‘delay’ part of your opening paragraph. GT5 hasn’t actually had as many true delays as you might think. Other than it being announced at E3 in 2006, they haven’t actually established any factual release date, except for this past March.
However, unless you live in Japan, that date was irrelevant to you, because that was a Japan launch date only. So, while I can completely symphatize with everyone on their extreme desire to play GT5, let’s not fuel the fire with misplaced words. _We_ may have expected it sooner, Sony may have expected it sooner. But Polyphony Digital, has only really made 1 announcement regarding launch dates.
holiday season 2024 is my guess.
If gt5 released last summer or fall I’d have bought it day 1 , now I’m no longer excited about it and soon won’t be interested at all
there are just too many others worth playing , they’re going to alienate too many potential buyers with these delays and end up with a flop if they take much longer trying to make the ‘ perfect ‘ game
no game is perfect and will satisfy everyone – stop trying to add new features because another game has them and stop trying to tweak everything to 110% – just make it fun and glitch free and people will be happy .
