GT5 delayed!!!

[demoman_chaos]

Except for awesome decal minigames. GT doesn't have more of those, as far as I know. And of course it will render Forza obsolete. Forza 3 came out a year ago: It's already old. You know the next installment in the Forza series is going to be released in 2011, right? (A bit early, if you ask me. I think they should at least implement weather settings)

Don't you think it's a bit early to say GT5 has "more of everything" and is definitely better, when the game isn't out yet? I think we should wait until the game is actually out before making such definitive statements.

It is unknown what sort of visual customization GT5 will have, but Forza does have a good system. I liked Need For Speed's slider molding gimmick that they introduced in Carbon better though (I think it was called autosculpt or something).

But GT5 does have more cars, more tracks, more race types, custom track generator, etc. To match the amount of content GT5 has, the next Forza will have to be one at least 5 discs (DVD's hold about 4gb, Blu-Ray can hold upwards of 80 gb).
But I will admit GT4 was kinda bloated, a lot of the cars were very very similar (they had a lot of Honda Civics that were only different in the year, for exmaple). A good chunk were also kinda pointless (the Jay Leno car that you can't use in a race).

I haven't heard anything of more racetypes...

You do know Forza has a race-customization option? You can play stuff like tag and cat and mouse on there.

And as you say, it is unknown what kind of visual customization GT5 will have. That's why I figure it is unneccessary to discuss it.

The following preview will show that unlike 3D Realms, Polyphony hasn't been spending all this time watching cartoons.

Also note the 1000+ cars, track editor, and more stuff I don't feel like mentioning.

Years of delays=/=valid improvement. 1000+ cars is ridiculous, since nobody uses anything but the top-end in any given style of racing.

Plus, the more they delay this, the more they have to add in regards to new cars, prototypes, etc. Ridiculous.

Aaand there's the fanboyism. DVDs hold 8~ GB of data, since we almost unanimously use dual-layer. Same goes for blu-ray, which currently holds a maximum of around 50GB, not 80.

Isn't GT the series that everytime it's delayed they take a feature away from it? I could've sworn that happened the last two or three games from it.

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

I don't care. I want them to make an Omega Boost 2 instead.

 

[Aphex Demon]

OH MOTHERF*CKER. Ah december aint too bad.

 

[TyrantGanado]

I guess it'll now be a Christmas game. New Vegas will tide me over methinks.

Plus, the lead designer did actually apologise for this one and say it was "inexcusable" so at least they know that such a last-minute delay will lead to pissed off fans. Besides, I'm sure the game will be out in time for Christmas, given how much it would sell around then, Sony probably wouldn't allow them later than mid December for such a reason and a month isn't much more to wait, really. It's a little annoying, sure, but people need to chill the fuck out and stop declaring it "dead" just because it's not on a yearly release cycle.

 

[De-Moti]

This looks like vapourware.
I can tell from some the release dates, having seen a few delays in my time.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

I have been bummed for the past... I don't remember. How many times did they push this back again?

Before this? Twice if I'm not mistaken.

I mean, I'd like to play this game but it's rapidly looking to supplant DNF as video gaming's biggest joke, assuming DNF actually comes out. At this rate, Forza might overtake them.

 

[Artina89]

I can't honestly say that I am suprised. They have pushed the date back quite a lot, so I will be suprised when/if it finally does come out.

 

[Crocker78]

If we see this game out some time around 2012 we will be doing ok ...

 

[icame]

Who is surprised? REALLY?

 

[Harlemura]

Someone told me that in an interview, it was revealed that the discs were already being... I'm not sure what it's called, let's go with "printed".
So either someone's been telling me porky-pies, or the actual release can't be all that far away.

 

[TimeLord]

Why are we even surprised?

 

[Imp Poster]

Actually, I would have been surprised if it came out. At this point, they might as well give every GT fan a car for game price.
