Gran Turismo 5 Still Isn’t Complete
It was approximately two years ago that Sony and Polyphony Digital gave their fans a taster of Gran Turismo 5 in the form of GT5: Prologue. Finally, the game will be racing to stores this coming November. Polyphony Digital CEO Kazunori Yamauchi has, on several occasions, delivered some public comfort that the PlayStation 3 exclusive racer is on track to be completed, with the Gran Turismo creator saying twice that the title is at the 90% mark. So, what remains unknown is how far the game has to completion since Yamauchi’s comments. It must be finished by now, right?
Well no, not really. Yamauchi has stated that Gran Turismo 5 is not yet finished. Yamauchi revealed the news via his twitter account as the legendary developer tweeted:
“GT5 is supposed to be be completed soon.”
We know Yamuachi won’t be happy fully once Gran Turismo 5 is released as he’s reiterated countless times that there are always aspects in a game to improve no matter how long you work on it. Let’s just hope the November 2nd release date still stands.

It will stand for SCEJ but I am doubtful that the rest of the world will see the game in 2010.
Hm I wonder what he still thinks needs to be completed? Ole well I’m patient, and I will definitely wait for this.
Thank god for patches and DLC in this case. This game could receive a ton of cool new updates and features. I would be happy knowing a great game (it should be great anyways) would keep getting better for a long time to come.
Hopefully Kaz looks at it that way too. Sure, it may not be to his satisfaction come Nov 2nd, but he can still work on it till he is happy.
Not finished? Why am I not shocked?
I think this is really nothing more than a message saying they are close to going gold. You need to understand that all good game dev’s work until the last minute. As for this releasing in Japan but not the rest of the world in time, that doesn’t make sense. They are doing all versions at the same time, in fact they are doing most of the english first due to the many special voice overs according to a few interviews. As much as I have continued to think this will be delayed indefinitely, I think we really will see it this year, and hopefully, in superb, 100% ready to play, polished state.
I had plenty of hands-on with GT5 (at E3) and I can say this..it will be worth the wait! I had a chance to drive the Nascar stock cars and they were sweeeeeet and looked beautiful! I even experienced the head tracking via the PS Eye. This game is going to make people go ‘Forza who!?!’
Oh yeah don’t tell Sev I said this, but there is no way in hell I’d let him drive my car after seeing his skills in GT5..LOL!!
Of course is not finished, games don’t go “gold” until a month or so before release. I think I read today Halo Reach just went gold, and that game is shipping next month, so there you go, and that’s a short crappy game too.
Yamauchi makes Kojima look like a rush artist
There’s probably a name for this disease… poor Yamuachi.
when has it ever been completed
looks like sony may have their own Duke Nuke’m Forever. XD
so its not coming out this year?
If they delay it again I’m gonna be extremely mad at this guy.
calm down people, the game not being complete is normal, I already said this above: a game isn’t ready for manufacturing until 1 month or so before release. I will definitely release this year worldwide, is one of the big hits Sony has for the quarter/holidays, and it’s also a major (if not the biggest title of all) to support Sony new 3DTVs.
I believe the game will be out by this year. The fact that theyre still working on it must mean theyre polishing the heck out of it. This is gonna be a heluva game!
Mental lol carnt wait to see this game in full ‘polished’ state………..
Get that darned thing done Yamauchi, I’ve already got it pre-ordered!
never heard of this game till now, is it any good?
