Gran Turismo 5 finally has a double official release date: November 24. I know. I'll believe it when I see it too. And even when I do see it, I probably still won't believe it.
In a statement released today, Polyphony Digital head Kazunori Yamauchi promised that in spite of numerous delays, including one just a few weeks back that pushed the game's release to sometime this holiday, and years of patient (yet vocal) waiting, rabid GT fans will soon realize that GT5 was well worth the wait.
"Our objective with Gran Turismo 5," explained Polyphony Digital president Kazunori Yamauchi,"was to create another great revolution which would not only satisfy our own high expectations, but would meet or even exceed the anticipation of the fans. Satisfying the loyal Gran Turismo followers is at the heart of all of our efforts, which is why it was such a difficult decision to delay the release of the game, and one which we did not take lightly. I can only apologize to everyone for making you wait so long, and I hope that when you try out the wealth of driving experiences available in Gran Turismo 5, you will not be disappointed."
Yamauchi went on to equate GT5’s tumultuous and demanding development to one of NASA’s most prized accomplishments, saying, "Gran Turismo 5 is an ambitious project, with challenges and complexities which have made it our version of the Apollo Space Program!”
Driving virtual cars isn't exactly the same sport as walking on the moon, but I can understand his excitement and anxiousness. I guess we’ll see if players are knocked in the when Gran Turismo 5 races onto PlayStation 3's in a couple weeks.

I'll laugh my butt off if there's DLC within a month or two after release.

Funny thing is, it was still being advertised in store flyers for the Nov. 2nd release, and if it were not for sites like this I would have gone to buy it and have been totally ^&^$ed off.
Not really even sure there's a place for GT5 anymore. It's taken so long now, and the racing genre has taken some big steps over those years, and i'm actually pretty full and satisfied with my current racing games.
Because of that, basically at this point it's going to take a lot more than just some realistic driving physics to win me over.
I'm actually leaning more towards passing this one and checking back in with GT6, that is if it doesn't fall behind the rest of the genre like this one may have.

This game will rock no doubt but I`m still waiting to see if it will rival the sheer "Fun" experience that Grid brang

it took them long enough, lets hope it fully changes the racing genre, cause to be honest i dont think a lot of racing games have a lot put into them, they're always short and the courses get redundant -__-.
But I do get what you mean about those exclusives, gears of war is entertaining for only so long, same with halo. Maybe its cause I'm not all into FPS all too much, but its the only thing xbox only seems to get lately...other than Alan Wake, that is the junk right there.
@Fanboys of PS3 and 360
Quit being such lame little fanboys about it, you totally ruin threads and I will vote you a thumbs down.
yes GT isn't on xbox...whoopdie-doo...wow everyone has known that for only 6 YEARS! and xbots who keep dissing know full well that if it WAS on 360, their lips would be so fused to microsofts rear it would take only the best surgeons to get them off. Shut up and play its that simple ^.^

wow, wasn't this game aanounced during the last years of the original Playstations life cycle? Yea, I play games to escape reality, not to drive all day, then come home to a driving simulator,Nooooo. Wish there were more over the top driving games like Burnout Revenge. I'm starting to wonder if Criterion is a one trick pony. Yea, GT5 should be the last one. No one I know has the patience for this game.

I don't know what those 2 guy's are talking about Sony and its exclusives.. because from what i know.. there exclusives are most terrible. fable 3 sucked horribly, halo got old real fast.. and gears of war is just a rental. gt5 looks amazing to bad my father in law always whoops on mi though hah!

If it plays as good as it looks, this game is going to be something else. I have to say that based on the screenshots I've seen, this is the best looking game I have ever seen. I'm really looking forward to playing it.

Now all I need to do is to build a table for my Logitech GT wheel since the tray table I have isn't sturdy enough. That's t-minus 12 days people!

Well all i can say is it's about time. I was beginning to think this game was looking to upstage duke nukem forever! Bring the heat GT5!

So they say November 24th? I can't wait to buy it on the day it's finally released, in February ...

Gran Turismo 5 will be well worth the wait and it's a good thing that developers like Polyphony Digital take their time when developing a game, especially one that is a simulator, in this case a driving/racing simulator.

i played the demo at gamestop and i was utter garbage at it. yet it didnt deter me from preordering in full. so excited.

I'd definitely buy this one day one (if only I had the cash). Only glad that the hoidays are coming around, so hopefully, Christmas brings me GT5 this year.
