Gran Turismo 5 Forced to Pit Again

[Pendragon9]

Just like my feelings on Starcraft 2, this better be pure awesome in a can when it comes out.

 

[aPod]

Good thing Forza 3 is such a good game... i dont even care anymore.

 

[matrix3509]

Yeah, I guess I will always prefer Forza to GT...oh well, no skin off my back.

 

[Megacherv]

Shit, this thing is going to have to be kick-fucking-ass when it comes out. Although I can guarantee it won't be.

And how you say?

Gran Turismo, lol. Simulation it is not... Sorry, but it isn't all that realistic. Although at least it does have car damage now.

More of a simulation of any other game I've played.

Oh well, better games to be played on the PS3, Ratchet and Clank for one, wait there's 2 of those.

How much time do they need?! I don't CARE about letting other releases that could replace GT5, they should be the the ones to be delayed!

gaaaaaaaaah, not happy about this! grrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[Casual Shinji]

Thank God, I'm not a Gran Turismo fan.

Thank..........fucking..........God!

I am quite excited for Gran Turismo, I did enjoy GT4 though regrettably I sold it. Though I always felt that I was playing the game wrong...

GT demands an expensive steering wheel, you can't play it right with a controller.

 

[Jared]

it makes sense to push it back for that reason. also it gives people enough time to get money.

Suppose it gives everyone a win-win in the case

 

[mirage20]

damn, AGAIN?!, well thats three people I know that'll be pissed about that and undoubtedly be whining for the next few weeks.

 

[SaintWaldo]

Well, I'm in the optimistic camp that they are delaying to both give maximum tail to other front line title AND synch the US/Japan releases. The fact that they put out a Prologue in the states this time around gives me hope that the US audience is putting enough back into the franchise to have some clout. It's my opinion that this was a huge factor in putting damage in the simulation, so if that is correct, it would make sense to keep the US happy with perks like no wait after Japan.

I hope this becomes the summer I get to dust off my Logitech again.

 

[Sevre]

These guys are total perfectionists, it's expected.

 

[Kenjitsuka]

Do people still care about this series?
I don't care about racegames, but from genre freaks I've heard that other series have blown this one away anyways and they have happily switched to new IP's...

Gran Turismo 5 is reportedly already in the hole to the tune of $60 million, making me wonder if it even has the possibility of making a profit. Do people still care enough about Gran Turismo to buy that many copies? If not, I suspect we'll be seeing lots of DLC car and track packs. I guess we'll be seeing those anyway.

Well, GT5 Prologue sold more than 4 million copies, surely thats already a great chunk of the money made back. And for the prologue to sell 4 million, I'm betting it will sell like teh shiet, considering GT4 prologue sold 1.4 mil, and GT4 went and sold over 10 million copies.

 

[Zetona]

What I find most amusing about this is that they don't seem to have changed much from GT5 Prologue, and it's still delayed.

Seriously. Rolling starts with the cars one second apart are a terrible idea, and they're not fixing them.

 

[Jamash]

I find it interesting that this announcement comes less than a week after Sony unveiled their plans for 3D gaming, with GT5 being one of the games they were testing.

Could Sony be holding GT5 back so they can make it fully 3D, so it can be their flagship game which will launch their 3D marque and televisions?

If so, it's not good news for gamers who don't give a shit about 3D and just want to play the game.

My only other theory is that they realised how stupid it was to say "it will look better than reality", but instead of retracting that statement they're hoping to delay it until after 2012, when the apocalypse will make reality look like shit...

Well you have to consider that figure will probably get bigger until it does come out, plus there's advertising, assembly, and shipping costs to consider. While I doubt it will get to be something like $100 million in the whole, it still will be more than $60 mil when all is said and done.

Yeah, well, either way I enjoyed Gran Turismo 4. I'm really sad I sold it, same thing with Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies, I may not have felt that I was playing the game "right" I still heavily enjoyed it and sad that I sold it.

They're claiming 950 cars. I bet most of those will be useless.

50 cars, 300 minivans, 300 light trucks, and 300 station wagons.
