Hopefully, they will announce the GT5 release date during the press conference next week.

Sony forecast 13 million PS3's in 2009, and while a price cut will be nice and help, it's not enough, rather, it's not the icing on the cake, so to speak. That cake needs a "killer app". By killer app, I'm talking about something guaranteed, something so undeniably hot it will move consoles worldwide with just the mere mention of its name. Games like that are not a dime a dozen, and Sony only has one of such game.....and it ain't God Of War.

Pizzagaki6114d ago

SO, how far away are they atm from selling 13 million ps3's ?

Thugbot1876114d ago

This says one of two things, the game wasn't really done when they were saying it was or they are adding a bunch of new features after seeing the competition.

GT 5 coming to get the 360 in 2009. Perhaps PD should just announce it already so that the guys at Turn 10 can stop having constant nightmares.

N4GAddict6115d ago

I think both games will end up great.

Saaking6115d ago

Oh, don't get me wrong. Perhaps Forza 3 will be a good game, but the guys at Turn 10 and all the bots have been bragging about Forza 3 being the definitive racing game and about GT5 not coming in 2009 and having no release date etc. GT5 comes in 2009 and shuts up all the haters. Let's see what those idiots at Turn 10 say then.

N4GAddict6115d ago

Yea, kinda agree that Turn 10 is talking too much. They should just let their game do the talking.

-Mezzo-6115d ago

GT5 will be great can't wait for it.

360r0x0rz6115d ago

they need more staff because they are soooo incompetent hahahahah i bet they got a bunch of people from turn 10.... well turn 10 is smarter than that... i know that htye will probably sabotage gt5... hahahahahah but wait they cant sabotage it...

know why?????

beacause it is already so terrrible!!!! hahahah seriously forza 1 had better grpahics than that.... and you know what, forza 3 is going to have 400+ cars while gt5 gets 10 plus some minivan hahahaha that is so sad it makes me want to cry but i feed off of sony droid tears so i cant that is unfortunate yeah

360r0x0rz6115d ago

no, you are delusional like jim the ape..... now that is delusional just like sony droid like you hahahahahahahahhahahaha

Sunny_D6115d ago

LOLOLOLOLOL! Don't be so stupid. GT5 is going to have atleast over a 1000 cars. Hell, even GT portable has more cars than forza 3. Here's some simple math. 800 > 400. GO FIGURE. Even GT portable looks better than Forza 3 graphically so when GT5 comes out, it's going to get crushed. When Forza gets graphics as good as GTP, night time races, at least 16 cars on a track at the same time, running at 1080p at 60 fps, then come back here and try be less of a jackass than you already are.

P.S. Tell Turn 10 to get the game running on 1 single disc and no dlc cars don't count. Unless you like paying for cars that are already on the second disc.

DonCorneo6115d ago (Edited 6115d ago )

making a port of GT4 to the crapbox.. LMAO.. GT4 (on the ps2) looked better than flopza 2 (on the 3fixme).. gtpsp looks better than flopza 3, which only has half the cars, only 8 cars on track and needs 2 discs.. LMAO

oh yeah, xbots, NFS shift will kill flopza and then GT5 will bury it.. LMAO.. shift already looks better than flopza (it has 12 cars on track, too). too bad for xbots, shift will be released early. it will be rated higher and will sell more than flopza 3. if cod4 was released early than gaylo 3 in 2007, same thing would have happend.

I don't want them to release this gem till it's ready to go up against a biased media.

N4GAddict6115d ago (Edited 6115d ago )

Polyphony Digital can take as long as they like crafting this masterpiece.

Maddens Raiders6115d ago (Edited 6115d ago )

Spike, but Polyphony has a way of humbling even the fiercest critics & have been doing it since '97. I feel the only biased we'll see will be from the usual deniers of reality.

Sarcasm6115d ago

PD can take all the time they need to, but if it's anywhere near 2011 I'm going to shoot some squirrels

Aclay6115d ago

To have Gran Turismo for PSP ready for 2009, I imagine that Polyphony HAD to hire more people to get it done in time. More employees definantly is a good thing, because maybe then GT5 will be coming sooner rather than later... hopefully by the end of the year, but if not, I hope it's not later than Spring 2010.

Lou-Cipher6115d ago

I would like Sony to release GT5 on 11/10/09, the same day as Modern Warfare 2.

That would be the ultimate slap in the face to that idiot Kotick.

And when he starts to complain about sells, Sony could tell him he should lower his prices on the game so it can sell more.

That would make me smile alot.

Demon55006115d ago

Polyphony Digital need to get this out, cos if they take much longer dam 3 to 4 years for both psp and ps3, And when everybody starts bagging Forza 3 out, and don't get me roughing I love gt5, But The wait kinda kills it, well for me any way, but I don't think will see it at Xmas this year maybe japan will, but none of the rest of the world, I hope they don't stuff it up:)

Lou-Cipher6115d ago (Edited 6115d ago )

Maybe that is why they are hiring more staff, so that they can do the different languages for a simultaneous worldwide release.

Gran Turismo PSP
Forza 3
NFS Shift
Split Second
Blur

That is alot of racing games coming out at the end of the year, so I just dont think that PD will release the game this year, but I really hope that it comes out in 2009.

Kazunori Yamauchi on the Future of Gran Turismo Sounds

Although the situation has improved in recent iterations, for much of its history the Gran Turismo series has been heavily criticized for its engine sounds. During the PlayStation 2 and 3 eras, engine notes were often compared to "vacuum cleaners"; the result of synthesized loops that lacked the soul and mechanical violence of their real-world counterparts.

To this day, anyone that plays a GT game for the first time and doesn't have experience with this kind of game will crash at the first corner, so not really sure what Shu is claiming here. I literally saw this happen a few months ago at an event where they had GT7 with VR2 up on a stage and members of the public got to try it out.
