GT5 Delayed until sometime in 2009.

http://www.videogamer.com/news/23-02-2008-7598.html Leading video game retailer confirms long wait for the highly anticipated PS3 racing simulation. In an email sent to customers, GAME, a leading retailer of video games, has confirmed Gran Turismo 5 won't be released this year, with European PlayStation 3 gamers having to wait until 2009. "The legendary "Real Driving Simulator" Gran Turismo 5 is heading to PlayStation 3 in 2009, utilising the uber-console's raw horsepower to generate an unrivalled level of realism," states the GAME email. The email does, however, promote the March 28 release of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, which will be priced only �19.99. This early teaser will feature five tracks and 40 cars, plus 16-player online racing. http://kotaku.com/360002/sorry-uk-no-gran-turismo-5-until-2009 Gran Turismo 5 currently has a tentative 2008 release date in both Japan and North America. Other sources are reporting the game will be delayed from the Xmas 2008 date in N America and Japan. Expect it mid summer 2009 at the earliest in N America. Still no Damage modeling confirmed.

that's because unlike some silly fangirls like you, I like games..all games on all platforms..and so do the silent majority of usenet readers imo. I was looking forward to this one but oh well 360 has awesome racing games until then. PC simulators can't be beat still. "Paul Heslop" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I have no allegiance to any console but I do think posting about a ps3 ONLY game in anything other than a sony group is a waste of space. I used to look forward to the Gran Turismo games until the last one, which seemed to me more flash than dash and I enjoyed Forza more. I won't be playing the next one because I can't afford both consoles and have plumped for the 360 for cost reasons. I'm not sure about forza 2 either, I have it but my first reactions weren't that fantastic. Having fun on TDU. -- Paul (We won't die of devotion) ------------------------------------------------------- Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/

i do agree with you, a proper driving sim is something more akin to Sega's Ferrari F355 Challenge (if you're looking ta console games specifically) however, Doug has a point, Sony themselves do call the GT series driving simulators, they just fail to mention theyre not very realistic ones :)

It's an exceptionally good driving simulator, just a shit racing simulator due to the absence of AI and damage. But it's a much better driving simulator than F355. Forcing in-car view and making it hard doesn't make it realistic. The car physics and handling model in GT is untouched on consoles (Forza 2 doesn't even come close). -- Zo
