Gran Turismo 5 has been in development for a while now, but the racing sim is finally nearing a release. Hopefully.
Gran Turismo 5 boss Kazunori Yamauch has commented that he wants to release
Gran Turismo 5 as soon as possible - something we're not sure anyone is actually against, really.
Gran Turismo 5 has been in development for a while now, with even the delays getting delayed it seems. Although Polyphony Digital released a cut-down (read: demo) version of the game as a PlayStation 3 download title a while back,
Gran Turismo 5: Prologue mostly failed to live up to expectations.
The good news though is that the game is apparently getting much closer to release now, with a few new features recently having been confirmed at E3 2009 - most notably the addition of car damage models, which is a first for the long-running series and something which doubtlessly lengthened the development time for the anticipated title.
"
I want to release it as fast as I can, but GT5 for us, when you talk about its status, it's at a point we can release it any time we want," said Kazunori Yamauch in a comment to
Eurogamer.
"
[But] we can always keep working on it. It's very important for us to make sure everything is done perfectly and everything is done in detail."
There's still no firm release date announced for
Gran Turismo 5 on the PlayStation 3, nor has there been any real confirmation of whether or not the rumoured PC version of
GT5 will materialise either, though the equally delayed
Gran Turismo PSP has been confirmed as a launch title for Sony's
PlayStation Go.
Let us know what you think of the
Gran Turismo series and how it compares to other recent racing games in
the forums.
How about some AI for a change not just follow the same path every time for the other cars? I doubt it.
Sorry Forza has taken my heart and GT unfortunately hasn't been a good game since GT2 - no change to the game just got prettier. Forza 3 for the win.
the house would shake and we'd play with the windows and doors open.. I'm not sure if I like the whole damage thing- I mean heads up you could make another player wipe out if you know what your doing.. basically the same thing but it keeps players in the game
I'm geting a bit fed up of waiting for it but i must say that prologue has kept me amused for a very long time. Especially since i finally got the credits for the ferrari F1 car and have spent the last few sessions just hammering round suzuka trying to break the top 500 in the online time trial (i'm enthusiastic but not actually very good)
I dunno, Forza 2 was a disappointment. It's only redeeming feature was being able to tune a mk2 Golf GTI up to 900bhp, with a turbocharged V6 and 4wd. I quickly grew tired of it and sold my 360.
That would be sweet, I only ever played GT2 back when I had a PS1, but I loved it. Would love a PC version of GT5 but like you say, it's doubtful. :(
Yeah, although at 1080p it might look ok.
Now its too late.
Releasing the prologue version was a huge mistake. I bought it and thought that graphically it was stunning, but gameplay wise, I actually preferred Project Gotham on my 360! I certainly wont be wasting any more money on the full version GT5.
The delays in the production of this game are ridiculous, and Im glad that Forza seems to be steaming ahead now... as the GT team obviously need a kick up the rear.
