GT5 Delayed
(Update 3) Worldwide delay. EU release 'before Christmas'.
Published: 15:44, 13/10/2010 by Jas-n.
9News just in: Gran Turismo 5′s release date been pushed back to the “Holiday Season” – or Christmas Time to you and me, according to the US PlayStation Blog.
Now it’s not been said whether this applies to all regions, but from the quote below it seems more than likely.
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
Damn that Kaz and his perfectionism.
Update: the Japanese version is delayed too. We’re expecting news of a corresponding EU delay shortly.
Update 2: SCEE has confirmed that the European date is delayed too, with no new date yet for our local version. Expect a press release soon.
Update 3: SCEE’s told TheSixthAxis that the game will still be released “before Christmas” and apologise for the delay, echoing the US statement.
We are sorry to say that Gran Turismo 5 will not be available on the previously announced release date of November 3rd, but the game will be released before Christmas.
We sincerely apologise to GT fans for the delay, however creator Kazunori Yamauchi and the team at Polyphony Digital want to make certain they are creating a racing experience of the highest quality. We are confident that this ambitious game will exceed expectations when it launches later this year.

Yes.. that. =P
This is really one of those titles they shouldn’t delay, not after such a long wait.

well, cc, when others do it you are ok to tell them to stop, but you’re within rights to? No one says much though as you’re a mod, if it was me it would be different, I’d have 5 or 6 people within minutes moaning at me.

This is purely for more Christmas sales rather than improving the game.

I fully agree, they couldn’t put a sound for the rain wiper (or whatever you call them) in just a few weeks , so yeah the’re aiming for more sales

I think they will make it Jailbreak proof.. instead of better.. but I do not complain.. Christmas is fine for me.. bundle it with a white ps3 please..

When its done its done , a few weeks is no big deal . People are going to be so busy with other games . One thing i can guarantee is i wont be able to afford it if its in December, will probably be more like February if this effects EU.

This is almost certainly gonna be worldwide. However, prepare for massive hilarity if it’s just the US.

I hope Kaz knows that if there’s any problems with the final game, there will be a lot of hate for him.
Let’s just hope it’s just US only, something about that GameStop car not rendering properly.

I physically burst out laughing as soon as I saw the title on my RSS feed.
Oh, woe is me that I only have 18 games to buy this season now instead of 19. Tragedy.

18?!?!
13/10/2010 at 15:55

Yeah but none of them is Gran Turismo. For those of us without unlimited funds, those other titles don’t ‘fill a gap’

18! I’m struggling to find 6 before the end of the year. Christmas game releases have become almost as boring as the music releases. COD is basically the games equivilant of the x-factor winner.

Thats when the nintendo will bring out a super console (what?, it could happen?), leaving sony and ms to look at each other and say, now look what you’ve done, the japs have snuck up again and buggered us all.
