We can confirm that Gran Turismo 5 will not be available this November 2nd, but the game’s release will be coming this holiday season.

We sincerely apologize to GT fans for the delay, however, creator Kazunori Yamauchi and the team at Polyphony Digital want to make certain they are creating the perfect racing experience, and we are confident that this ambitious game will exceed expectations when it launches.

We’ll have more information for you in the near future.

  • NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

    :(

  • i hope KZ3 isn’t delayed too ¬¬

  • @346

    Yeah, I was kind of thinking of that. Sony probably orchestrated the release date of Superstars V8 Racing with the developer knowing full well GT5 wasn’t coming Nov 2. Otherwise SV8R was just shooting itself in the foot with that date…

  • …make that 349…

  • Wow… who knew delaying a game would attract so many whining babies into one centralized area. Let the developers do they’re fcuking jobs. Do you have any concept of just how hard it is getting resources from thousands of people to put together something as magical as a video game? The people who actually CONCEPTUALIZE/DESIGN/CODE the games are significantly smarter than 90% of you gaming parasites. The game will be better for it in the long run. It’s still set to be released before the holiday season. So sip on some of that kool aid, just chilllll and find something else to latch onto “teh interwebs” and start complaining like a bunch of sheep. Bahhhhh!

  • Glody, we’re closing in on 6 years now… just how much time do you want to give them? I’m all for giving developers leeway to finish their games, but this is getting out of hand now, even by PD standards.

  • So when is it coming out? Oh I know your usual word “Soon” LOL

  • SONY are making it to easy for the competition this gen, they really are :-(

    Still a day 1 buy for me tho :P

  • Another delay? hmm i think i’ll be canceling my pre order for GT5 . I cancelled my pre order for THE LAST GUARDIAN since it got delayed .I don’t think i’ll pre order ps3 games anymore and just buy USED games from now on. There are always deals for used games on craigs list.

  • OMG!!!
    This is getting ridiculous now.

    All GT5 fans need to put together an official complaint and send it to someone.

    We cannot take this anymore; we need to submit a formal complaint or go on a strike until they release this thing.

    I mean this a massive disappointment!!!

    Such stupid holidays we are expecting, then…I bought my PS3 to play GT5 because it was supposed to be a launch title.

    Unacceptable by all measures and factors, Ply. D.
    Raging!!!!

  • how long has this game been in development? 2005? 2006?

  • cancelling, i might rent from gamefly..

  • You people are clowns. Set a d&*n release schedule and stick to it. Bite the bullet and cut a couple features.

    There is not a more loyal fan to this franchise than I, and I am officially sick of this s#!*.

    JUST. GET. IT. RELEASED.

  • speak at least.. what’s the reason.. RIDICULOUS

  • What’s the point of pre-ordering? I can’t ever remember walking into a store on release day and not getting a game I want.

  • Wow Sony, you sure know how to piss your customers off this generation. I REALLY hope you guys make a decent console next generation that makes it easy for developers to make games on so we don’t have to wait 5 years for each title to be released. This is really getting annoying.

  • extremely disappointed…. the only time i have any extra money is right now and they go and move it further back… guess i wont be buying any games for awhile..

  • @ 362, yeah a reason would be nice.. The first LBP got delayed because of offensive music.. LB2 got delayed, because the beta revealed the game wasn’t ready for prime time… GT5 got delayed because???????

    Doesn’t matter when they release it now. The damage is done.

  • @354

    If they did their jobs, it would not be delayed now would it!

  • APRIL’S FOOL! Oh wait..

  • Thanks Sony! Are you scared of the COD Black Ops being released in the same week as GT5??? Is 4yrs not long enough for you to complete the game??? Are you and the team at Polyphony Digital really telling the world with less than 3 weeks before a worldwide launch that the still game isn’t ready???

  • This is joke ? OOOOOH MY Goooooooooooooood !!!!!!!!! e7v46r5f7
    %@$^#$%#@$%#$VG%%^V@%^VB%$VB%$Y@

    Gran Turismo 5 = CRAP !!!!!!!!!

  • I’m sad…

    I was looking forward to sitting down in my race chair and getting into the world of GT. :(

  • I knew it would not ship It is like the Duke Nukem forever of racing games.

    Im not into that series though so I get more entertainment watching it never ship than i do playing them I only play them a little bit.

    You should just call it Gran Turismo forever at this point and Drop the 5 since nobody will remember and most casual people think Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is the real Gran Turismo 5 at this point since it has been years.

    I still have that first ps3 GT5 tech demo you could download and i downloaded that like in 2007.

  • I went from being excited to mildly depressed. That is the day after my birthday. Well maybe before Christmas right, still New Years Day is also a Holiday.

  • #355 Ando: I respect developers who wish to perfect their craft. It’s not a matter of life and death. The game will be released soon. Have some patience. We live in such a needy culture/generation.

  • I’m calling BS from this point out on anything PD says about the release of the game. Until I’m able to play the game on my own TV it doesn’t really exist.

  • Y’know, yesterday I finally bought a PS3 (60GB for $249) so I’d be able to play GT5 when it came out.

    Why must you toy with our emotions so, Sony?

    At least until it comes out, my 360 will hold me over, with all the games that haven’t been delayed for years.

  • Wanna delay it some more? WTF is this BS?

  • This is such crap I have half a mind to get an XB360 for Forza 3 Ultimate and forget about GT forever.

  • #354 glody: at 20 days to relase the game should be in gold already (i.e. printing and shipping). This delay could only mean they’re trying to maximize sales by putting it closer to Christmas, which would be simply stupid because we’re talking of GT not an unknown new IP, or that they seriously [DELETED] up the timetable wich is not very professional either.

  • co wy z tym robicie kretyny kurde ile mozna czekac obiecujecie i potem odwołujecie

  • I knew that having a post on the PS blog about Duke Nukem Forever was a bad omen…

    I waited this long, I guess a couple more weeks won’t hurt

  • I don’t think this game will ever come out. You don’t have to make the perfect racing experience. You have to release the game. This isn’t good Sony. Come on, we’ve already waited years for the game. Release it!

  • Gran turismo 5 is just a myth! It does not exist. Cancelling my pre-order….

  • Well as much as this irks me, I’m still going to wait for it. I’m not about to jump ship and cancel my pre-order of the Collector’s Edition. I have other games pre-ordered (i.e. NFS Hot Pursuit) that I can play in the mean time.

  • OH COME ON!!!! i was so pumped for nov 2 and now im gonna have to wait even MORE!!! AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRHHHHHHHH!! :/…………. I really hope the wait is worth it

  • Aw, man! This is one game I have been so excited about for a long time. All I’ve been talking about for weeks to my friends is GT5. Dang, major disappointment. Oh well, back to Grid.

  • I guess I’ll finish my Forza 3 career. If this misses Christmas Sony has nothing but Sports Champions for a flagship title?

  • After all this time I feel like smashing my ps3 and fanatec wheel then posting it to Sony.
    Your a bunch of jokers

  • guys….i understand kaz………but come on……this is rediculous!…….i was 25 when i started reading about this…..i have followed everyday…..its been a long time….i am getting my pre-order money back……TRULY A DISASTER!

    NOTE:if u want 2 add items….do it via dlc….nuff said (i hope)

  • What a bummer!
    With all the delays i doubt you guys will be able to satisfy the expectations of your fans who have had this on pre-order for years now.
    Still keeping my pre order, but am not pleased with the constant delays.
    This announcement definitely tempers my enthusiasm.

  • Nice, I just bought a 3D TV…

  • Wow. Socom, LBP2, FF14 Online, DC Universe Online and now GT5…all delayed?

    Is GT5 even safe to buy? I can see some kid getting it for Christmas only to have Kevin Butler come down the chimney dressed as Santa, snatch the game outta the kid’s hand and say “it’s been delayed again”…post-release lol. Then back up the chimney. Pew pew!

  • If u think that u r attracting customers on any way u so F#$#$ wrong… u just lost a pre-order and a fan, and for every fan lost there is a 50 of em trust me…. useless people good for nothing

  • Hey, do us all a favor, tell PD that if the game isn’t up to their standards (which I know is very high) then they should lay off adding so many different things, and focus on what they need to get done earlier. I’m not upset as a I could be, but this is rather disappointing.

  • I can’t say i’m shocked by this. With all the recent crap I care nothing for being put in games now…I.E. MOVE,WEB ACCESS,3D. Devs/Sony seem to think this stuff is vital now and the integrity/quality of what made the games a hit go out the window because of it. Whats really funny to me is they can’t even use all the processing power the ps3 is “SUPPOSED” to have. I do love what the ps3 can do but it should do alot more.

    Sorry but this stuff has made developing ps3 games even more a mess in my book.

  • I knew that would happen, it was so obvious.

  • I am so pissed. Why couldn’t you tell use earlier?

  • I think they’re worrying about nothing… They think that once the game is released, people are going to see the same flaws they do…
    Developers tend to see everything that’s wrong with the game, and none of the good… However, I personally think the game is fine, and they should release it as is, and patch it after release… Seriously, this isn’t 2001.
