  • As Peter Griffin says, “now we play the waiting game…”

  • I have no problem with this id rather have a complete game without glitches all over and not polished i can save some money since its gonna probably come out late november or early december im not gonna wine and blame sony for this its a sony developer yes but, its the development team at polyphonydigital that say its not ready yet and considering the quality of gran turismo games they have put out in the past im willing to wait.

  • In hindsight, I shoulda bought an Xbox 360 generation. Much better online with Live, games that don’t get delayed to oblivion.

  • News Flash … Grand Turismo 5 delayed , being ported for the x360

  • Just a couple of days ago my friend and I were just talking about the game finally coming out. That they have a firm release date and we can finally get to play it. How wrong we were :( lets not have really long wait.

  • Hell im very sad, well…. still waiting this [DELETED] game

  • Alright sony and more specifically polyphony digital I have been a huge fan of this franchise since day one gt1 on the ps1…but enough is enough, my preorder for the collectors edition of gt5 is cancelled as of now…this is absolutely unacceptable behavior from such a big company with one of their biggest franchises…get right sony and pd or you’re going to lose a whole lot of business if you haven’t already.

  • This could have been the title to re-launch the PS3 over the 2010 holiday period and once again Sony’s gone and dropped the ball. They don’t deserve a loyal customer base like they have.

    Release the game and do the updates online.

  • Jeez…

    Ah well. Hope you stick to your word and actually release the game before 2011.

  • So i was talking to Team17 they make worms alien breed! I asked on facebook there page about alien breed 2 and they said:
    Team17 Software Ltd. Yes Alien Breed 2 is coming to ps3 before the end of the year. SWEEET

  • It doesn’t look like my last comment is getting posted,

    I’m very disappointed in this news. I just dropped $3200 on a Sony 3D tv in September, then last week $500 more on a Playseat Evo (to go with my G25 wheel) I bought all this stuff in anticipation GT5.

    Great, now I have to wait even longer to enjoy any 3D games! Thanks!!

    Why did you let it go to a preorder stage, just to delay it again. I wouldn’t have bought my tv till later if I was aware of this news.

    I’ve always adopted technology early and the people that do, always get screwed!

  • This is wayyyyyyy beyond a joke. Heads up Sony. You’re treating your fans like dirt. Don’t make false promises over and over again. Once is excuseable but after god knows how many times it’s embarressing. Wonder why people play xbox now? We stand up for you guys in forums and on the street and then we get this rubbish?!

    You better throw some more goodies at this game like free DLC’s and the like. Oh and for the people who pre-ordered and helped you guys get an idea of how much ca$h you’re going to make when you eventually ship. Bump up the included content on those orders. Sheessh!

  • U guys need to chill out! There treating us fans like dirt! There making the game even better but there treating us like dirt lol idiot

  • Embarrassing. I guess I’ll pick this used. PD has proved once again that I can wait to play GT5.

  • This is Unbelieveble!!! I’ve bought the PS3 thinking about this game which is more than 2 years delayed. Nevertheless there is nothing about the exatc launch date….Besides this bad news I’ve heard that sony is thinking on charging the online services to old games…
    Hey sony, wake up !!!

  • Is Polyphony Digital just totally unaware that the game they’ve been developing will be on the PS3? YOU CAN PATCH IT! Just release it and patch it later.

  • I think I’m going to pass on this game now. Ridiculous.

  • Wow, a lot of people are cancelling their pre-orders. Or at least saying they are. Well, they just lost half of their sales…

  • Wow, Sony and Polyphony Digital are beyond incompetent with the management of this game. What a terrible PS3 holiday season.

  • Really Sony…really?

  • This is B/S. I’m glad I didn’t preorder and WILL NEVER pre order a game from Polyphony Digital EVER AGAIN.

    This game was meant to be out not last Christmas but the one before that!!!!!!!!! They are taking the piss out of loyal and diehard fans.

    Epic FAIL SONY!!!

  • it probably has somethin to do with sony releasing some sort of GT5 PS3 pack n either they want X amount of stock of bundles and games before they actually release it. either way its total BS and ridiculous to announce a delay this close to a game 5 years in the making. the only way to remedy this is if its only delayed for a week or two. they need to get onto announcing a new date asap or they will lose alot

  • Hate post #601

    FY PD! Every day for the last couple of weeks I kept thinking I can’t believe GT5 comes out in less than a month, the excitement grew stronger every day just to get crushed in a instant. This was my actual reaction to the news: OMFG NOOOOOOOOOO!!!

  • I have never been so angry in my life, this game was first due out at xmas 2006…. i always expected it to be pushed back to around summer/winter 2007… and it was delay after delay. Then came the march release in 2010, got really hyped up for that…then yet again delay WHICH! i could handle because i want the perfect game BUT THIS! is a disaster i dont care if theres a bug on it that wipes my ps3! i want that game in my hands november 5th! cant u just bring out a stupid update to do woteva u want, u still know u can keep production of the game going and keep sending out updates for us. I hope u read this polyphony (WILL PEEPS STOP COMPLAINING AT SONY, THEY DONT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS, N00BS) Because i have cancelled my signature edition and going with the £60 collectors edition, give yourselves a round of applause

  • PD do whatchu need to do

  • Well, now the game will have better sales, beacuse the “Call of Duty effect” should worn out by then. I have pre-ordered my limited Edition XD. I love GT series.

  • This is getting beyond a joke now. Get it together PD and give the punters what they want.

  • Dang i guess i might as well cancel my collector’s edition preoder jk lol… I think its fine that they keep on delaying it as far as that means when it ships it’ll be ready with amazing reviews

  • im 20 years old now and ive been supporting gran turismo since i was like 8 years old. and i had this game pre ordered and now its delayed. i really was looking forward to this game with all of the disapointments in my life rite now especally wit my hard semester in school. why PD why you keep efffing with us, we dont get it, first you give us good years of meth like driving simulators then you take it away like cold turkey!!!!

  • that’s the worst knews I’ve heard this week
    well just have to wait so i can save more to pay for it

  • This is a complete joke! GT-fans has been waiting for years now – and 3 weeks before “release”, they drop the hammer on it – again!

    My preorder will be cancelled, and i’ll wait for a used version..

    Why not patch the small bugs? Will PlayStation 4 arrive before or after the release of GT5?

    Come on, PolyFony!

  • This is what happens when u hire developers from ITT Tech lol!! PD u r a bunch o losers good for nothing, useless pile of crap!!!!

  • This is the stupidest thing I have ever seen. Wow. Like I’m really going to cancel this pre-order tomorrow morning. NFS:Hot Pursuit it is!

    I mean I’ve never seen a company shoot itself in the foot so badly before. You have a product, people want it, you’ve developed it for 5 years, yet you won’t give it to them and patch things up with the remarkable network you paid so much money to create. Its like you don’t want money, you don’t want the gamers to be happy, and you don’t want return on investment in psn? There probably need to be a clearing of the board at this company. Geez. Somebody get an online petition or find a lawyer who will represent all of us and find a legal problem with this situation.

  • if they are looking 4 a perfect launch window i say they will put it out nov 30 nothing is really coming out that day thats what i would do

  • Madfanboy was right

  • I say class action lawsuit. False advertisement over and over and over and over and over. ANd I’m sure people bought the lastest Force Feedbback wheel specifically for GT5, which will never be. Sony, PD I want my money back you lying, stinking %$^%$^#$!!!! I am also cancelling my pre-order of 5 GT5 titles. Were going to be X-mas presents. DO us all a favor and just close shop and stop lying to everyone.

  • Ok, I usually don’t post things at all. But you know what Sony, Polyphony and PS … you have gotten to be such a disappointment. You know the primary reason folks bought the PS3 was for the nifty GT5 preview you had at launch back in the stone ages. Now, you’re just stringing people along, laughing in your offices proud of yourselves. Well I tell you what, there are games just as good on 360 and Wii. I am tossing the PS3 junk because I am tired of being strung along like the fools you make us out to be. Mr. Yamauchi, I used to respect you, but to do this so many times to your loyal fans, you should be ashamed. Perfection I can understand, delay after delay after delay with no good reason is apauling. As a developer of software, if I did this to my customers, my [DELETED] would be out on the street. Yet you keep reaping the benefits from all the shows you attend and get paid for, for vaporware – yeah – software that doesn’t exist. I know not everyone may feel sthis way, but after 4 years! – come on! Yu have no idea what you are putting your fans through. But I can say, you have one less fan and customer…..

  • At least Last Guardian is still on track.

  • Hey PS are you sensoring posts now. I’ve tried submitting another post 3X … what the deal?

  • Post1 – Ok, I usually don’t post things at all. But you know what Sony, Polyphony and PS … you have gotten to be such a disappointment.

  • POst 2 – You know the primary reason folks bought the PS3 was for the nifty GT5 preview you had at launch back in the stone ages.

    This is just the way i feel. I was i loyal fan and got all the gran turismo,s i played them when the first one came out.I also say they can do the updates online but once again lied to the loyal fans ag no man

  • Wow. Ok then. How many years now? 5? 6? How many delays? I remember getting a PTOM saying it would release in 08. Fat chance haha. Just about ready to to give up waiting for this game. And not to be “that guy,” but if this doesnt get above an overall score of 95, then its not worth this wait. I mean its not like i didnt expect it, its just funny. All those ads saying things like “ITS FINALLY HERE, THIS TIME FOR REAL!! MARK YOUR CALENDERS FOR NOVEMBER 2ND!!!” What a joke. Dont give a date unless you can live up to it PD.

  • Does Polyphony think we are dense, stupid, what is the deal here? We have seen this 100s of times, a game gets a official release date sometime in Nov/Dec, then all the sudden it gets delayed, and we end up perhaps seeing it in June.

    This is beyond stupid, and every delay is just going to make the review scores worse, game mags have a way of taking out anger on devs with no sense of time.

  • And the game went from a November 2nd release date to “sometime in the next 2-3 months.” Huh? Something must be wrong.

    But there is no chance it will be out this year, not one chance. Its done, best bet is sometime in March.

  • rofl. good thing i didn’t go out and buy a G27 and a racing chair…also glad I canceled my preorder back in July. This is hilarious though. I doubt this game will come out in 2010. Maybe winter of 2011.

  • First MotorStorm Apocolypse Delay, then Socom 4, then LBP2, and now GT5! Exclusives – That leaves us Sly Collection, which just got delayed a week. Dang, what a messy holiday! Oh well, the multiplats look promising this year.

  • Either Polyphony is extreme perfectionists or that Sony is waiting to launch a massive marketing campaign which as of now is nothing.

  • Hey, since you guys are delaying GT5, AGAIN. Please just release the GT5 demo you guys have in the Bestbuy, Frys Kiosks on PSN, to keep us busy till you guys actually release the game.

  • Guys. Just wach a coupple of trailers, Night time, weather effects and so on and play the demo for a little while longer. Im just as furrious as you are but as for now we havent gotten an explanation so it could be one of many things that caused it.
