LMAO, the track is 100 miles away, and costs $200+ a pop. Sure it's fun but spending $55 to sit in front of the tv is fun too.

I pre-ordered my copy the other day. I haven't even had my PS3 on for 9 months but I will be dusting it off for this game.

Did you get a release date by any chance? Well there's about a whole day left until the big announcement!!!! :driving:

Today is the big day my friends, here's the link to keep up with all the announcements and live blog of what's going on at TGS GT5 booth. Gran Turismo 5 Front & Center in Sony’s TGS Booth

Ive got a ps3 with G25 wheel and clutch, setup with a playseat and the flipped pedal mod... its as realistic as you can get without spending 10k
i bought Dirt2 to keep me going till gt5 is released, its been sooo long I cant remember if ive preordered it already or not.
good job i dont have a mic tho - some fkr is allways crashing into me!

Well looks like we just got shafted in the rear from KAZ, he just said GT5 release is March 2010. I'm near almost done with this game!!!!!!

Not to toot my own horn, but I found this on page two. :rolleyes:

Here's a link as to why all this has been a load of BS, look at the comments and the topic. People are frustrated with the lack of common sense on how to market a game let alone hold a fan base. March 2010 is not really far, but with all the hype and now 6 more months to go it's just plain stupid. Plain plain old stupid :shakes head:

Gran Turismo 5: March 2010 in Japan

****

Oh, believe me, I fully understand why it makes no financial sense. I mean, in reality instead of waiting 6 months, they should just wait 14 and do a Nov. '10 release. They aren't REALLY going to lose fans. People say "screw them" now, but when the game hits, those same people's wallets will be $60 lighter. I guarantee.

I don't care either way seeing as I have a goal of getting 100%(with the exception of all gold on license test because I'm using a controller) on my old GT4 before GT5 is released. I'm at 54.7%. :icon14:

I bet Duke Nukem will come out way before this does!

I've been playing Gran Turismo since it's inception on PS1, but although they keep bumping back the release dates, I'd much rather them release it fully bug free and with plenty of content. The problem with games now adays is the vast majority are released in almost beta format (especially PC games). I've also read that the PS3 car models can take months PER CAR to model/render, especially when they are doing interiors now. Factor in almost 1000 cars and go figure...

According to Tokyo Auto show the game is "65%" complete - whatever the hell that means... but honestly - its not going to matter when it comes out... it will do really well...

the game looks great other than the lack of effort they have put into the damage physics. i honestly think that the original forza has better damage physics that GT5
YouTube - GC2009 GT5 Damage effect

love how the door swings open when the opposite side of the car hits the wall.
still will probably pick this game up though just not sure if i will be able to tolerate the need for speed damage physics they put in it.

The new one is supposed to have a really good damage engine... the old GT games had 0 damage - and thats 0 - so you hit a wall or another car... it pretends nothing happened except for some course correction due to clipping the other car... the new game will hopefully have better graphics... but i care not as i mostly drive it for time trials sake etc...
