909 0

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.

  • omg!! i dont believe this
    i have been counting days for 2 god damn years… i have been on youtube 10 times a day for several months and check out latest news about game…….. and now its delayed! i even consider not buying the game so i dont give polophony that satisfaction….
    (i didnt mean the last part ^^)

  • Good luck

  • Personally, I blame CoD BO. If they weren’t worried about competition,they woulda released it then made an update.Hopefully, they won’t delay it like LBP2. Boy does Sony know how to really piss people off.

  • Aww man!!! OH well, I can wait a tad bit longer.

  • Bad move on Sony’s part. In my life I set goals and achieve them. And NOTHING has taken me 5 years to finish.

  • Oh and maybe I’ll get it early now since I was worried I would have to wait beyond release since I won it from Subway 2 weeks ago and got the 8-10weeks for delivery email. That is if you let Subway Winners have it early like Subway promised!

  • Just officially cancelled my pre-order to give my money to the Evil Empire (Activision – Black Ops). I love Forza but was going to pick this up just for the cool modes, features, and cars. Too late, I lost interest and will enjoy Forza and the upcoming Hot Pursuit for my racing fix.

    I’m willing to bet GT5 doesn’t get released in 2010.

  • YOU”RE KIDDING RIGHT!?!?!?
    WWTTTFFFF!!!!!
    THEY WASTED THEIR TIME ON STUPID GO-CARTS AND NASCAR AND THE MOTORCYCLES THEY ONCE HAD IN A SCREEN SHOT WAY BACK, I ASSUME ARE TAKEN OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    THIS IS A JOKE! BAD ONE!!!!!

  • @455 Sheeple, I bet Black Ops will suck and you will have wasted your time and money

  • Absolute bunch of disorganized morons!!! There’d be more chance of the game being ready by now if the last Labour Government had been left in charge of releasing it! Really can’t believe it’s delayed again and at such short notice.
    Not that it’s come as a shock going by their previous track record, PhatMax53 had the best idea by saying he’d wait and buy it used. I mean what’s another year after what was originally penned as a release title for 2007!!!
    Bought my PS3 in April 2007 and have been waiting for this game over anything else since then. Oh well off to the game website to cancel my preorder.
    Nice one PolyPHONY.

  • This is the only game I’m buying for PS3 this year and it gets delayed. The issue I see here is that the Holiday season can be from late November until sometime in January. I have a strange feeling that it won’t be released in 2010 as they said “this holiday season” rather than by the end of the year.

    Thanks Sony. But no sweat, I can still play Black Ops this holiday season. Oh wait… Why would I want to do that?

  • To all whom cancel their pre-order. Yep I do agree I have cancel my pre-order at Amazon.com and Gamestop.com too. I can live without it for now and I can clock in my time with Fallout: New Vegas when release on Oct. 19th, 2010, can’t wait!

  • What a farce…..the worst thing is people will remember this game due to the delays and time it took to produce and not the content and gameplay. I dont care if this is the best game in the world it is now officially a joke. At least this will confirm that the PS3 will be the LAST SONY console i will buy, so when next gen consoles come out i will not buy Sony, at least you can get games for xbox ha ha not to mention the fact that despite blu-ray discs the PS3 rarely does 1080p, the Xbox can do 1080p on most games…….overall Sony as a games company is turning into an expensive joke…….thanks Sony what a crock about making the game as good as it can get ha ha by the time they get round to finishing it the next delay will be to port it to PS4 due in around 3-30 yrs time ( to make it better than the real thing ha ha) anyone looking for a cheap PS3? call me…..

  • I’m disgusted to be a PlayStation owner, even more so a Gran Turismo fan. This game has been delayed since Dinosaurs roamed the earth. This game is never coming out, will see Detox before this comes out… scratch that, we wont even see Detox, smh. Might as well close shop and ship it for PS9.

  • great …. i was really looking forward to it on the 2nd…..

  • It better be the prefect racing experience! I won’t be pre-ordering this one now, if fact if it gets anything less than a “10” I won’t be getting it at all. Way to go Polyphony!

  • “””””””””””due to Polyphony Digital wanting to create the “perfect racing experience.””””””””””””””

    There is nothing perfect and if they’re such perfectionists, they should get rid of this ridiculous squealing sound every time you corner.

  • I bought a Sony 3Dtv mainly due to this game.. Now I’m glad I have 5 more days to return it. I have had this Duke Nukem forever of a game preordered for 3 years now. I will never purchase this game. This is the last straw for you Sony. Good riddance.

  • I have been waitin for this game to come out for almost 5 years and still delays.I brough this system because of this game time to break out the new X-BOX since they have what I want.DAMM THIS SYSTEM.

  • Honestly? F… it, sick and tired of waiting for this game. Not buying it.

  • Epic fail LOL

  • wow. unfortunately the only thing this perpetual delay will do is have an overall impact on the game interest. By now this has been building so much that people are going to put the screws to it. If the game is not flawless the reviews /critics / “bloggers” are going to tear it apart.

    THEY SHOULD GET ALL THE PEOPLE WHO PREORDERED GT5 AND SENDED THEN A DEMO DISC OR DOWNLOND CODE FOR A DEMO ON NOV 2. JUST TO MAKE UP THE THE THE DELAYS.

    i agree. seeing that i pre-ordered the collectors edition back on june 17.

  • As the rest, been waiting for this for a loong time and just last week i asked my boss if i could have a week break from the 1-7th nov and i got that arranged and now they mess up my arrangements… So highe hopes for what i was gonna do and see that first week with it in my hands. Were aiming for 24H race without b-spec and with wheel and pedals..

  • glad i didn’t waste my time, or money, on pre-ordering this game…lmao. as a fan of GT, not a huge fan mind you, a fan nonetheless, i would have been right there with pre-ordering if they could just put at least 1 GT game out on time. if i’d have pre-ordered GT5, i’d now be removing the order and getting my money back and waiting til a later time down the road after the ACTUAL release date to pick it up…. thanks alot sony!!!

  • (((((((((To all whom cancel their pre-order. Yep I do agree I have cancel my pre-order at Amazon.com and Gamestop.com too. I can live without it for now and I can clock in my time with Fallout: New Vegas when release on Oct. 19th, 2010, can’t wait!)))))))))

    THIS!!!!

  • I would like to have Polyphonys email address.

  • anybody lookin for a day one ps3 call me

  • Dogdaysunrise, why? They’ll just send you the same canned response as is listed in this blog.

  • List of Games to buy this year at E3(That I had before)

    FIFA 11-(CHECK)
    PES 11-(Coming soon)
    Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2-(Coming Soon)
    SOCOM 4-(DELAYED)
    Little Big Planet 2- (DELAYED)
    Gran Turismo 5- (DELAYED)

    Amount of PS3 exclusives coming before next year(excludingPSN and Move)

    ZERO

    Pretty sure we aren’t getting GT5 until PS4. Now I’m all for delays cause it allows you guys to make sure that we have a polished finished product but to Delay it OVER and OVER and OVER again is really annoying. Just say it isn’t coming until 2045 and we’ll be ok, but don’t play with our sensibility that’s just crappy marketing.

  • “want to make certain they are creating the perfect racing experience”

    Riiight… if you are going to screw up THIS bad at least give us some information or a good excuse. The statement above is neither.

  • WHAT ABOUT A DEMO ON PSN TO HELP US WAIT!! MAYBE IF A LOT OF US ASK ….. JUST MAYBE…..

  • Dogdaysunrise, why? They’ll just send you the same canned response as is listed in this blog.

    Just to vent! :-)))
    …well and I would love to tell them to bring motorcycles.
    (not to delay it for that, an add-on content will do just fine).

    According to a recent interview he wanted it all in one and kind of declined a Tourist Trophy 2 for the PS3.

    Anyway, i’ll leave me pre-order, but if this is not out by the end of the year, I will cancel mine.

  • It must be ilegal give us this tipes of news

  • It will be that we will have to wait for plus a long and tiring year? It seems until replay of the last year!

    It will be that we will have to wait for plus a long and tiring year? It seems until replay of the last year!

    Already we wait time excessively for this launching, and one more time the launching was postponed! Until when we will have that to wait? What more it will be made to improve the game?

    Since we go to wait for one more time, without date defined for the next launching, I wait that you place then a system of descending damage, therefore what we saw in the last videos did not convince in nothing!

    If they want to launch a game with only experience of dirigibility, then they make right! It delays the time that to cost! But they do not make what it has made in recent years, therefore to fill fâns of expectations and later frustrate these same fâns with plus a cancellation in the date of launching “IS NOT JUST”!

  • We all got gt5 that exspensive ass demo we all brought

  • This is rediculous, i will not accept the phrase ” Polyphony Digital want to make certain they are creating the perfect racing experience” again we have been palmed off with this for the last year, whats the next excuse “were sorry the font of the 5 on the cover is incorrect so were delaying it for another 6 months.

    I’m pretty sure that with the 5 year development time there cant be that many issues that a simple update within the next 2 months wont to sort out and to tell us this 3 weeks before release is completely unacceptable, i LOVE Gran Turismo so much so i have pre ordered the signature edition, but this really stops me from wanting to buy it (like that will happen) not sure about the rest of the GT fans but i feel completely mugged off here especially as i have booked time off work for this, everyone who has preordered deserves some kind of special gift for their patients like a FREE Bravia or something, BAD MOVE POLYPHONY, you are going to lose a huge amount of sales over this, hope its worth it!!!!!!!

  • someones goin to hack it anyway

  • Sucks but a smart move with call of duty black ops releasing a month before, not a lot of people have 60 bucks to spend back to back, but it might be a smart move to release before the year ends,it will make a perfect Christmas gift and sure to grab game of the year tittle.

  • I’ll Probably Get My Money Back For My Pre Ordered GT5 Copy Been Way To Long, Unprofessional To Set A Date Especially At E3 And Let Your Fans/Customers Down Again How Many Times 1,2,3,4….

    Wow, can’t believe that sony/polyphony digital is going to do it to us once again. Wouldn’t be suprised if they did it again and set another spring date for 2011. Starting to lose interest and purchase another game.

  • Are you F**king kidding me!? GT5 is delayed again!

    Its like your job saying they will give you a raise but then keeps saying…’well maybe in a few more months’

    Which, sadly, is actually happening to me at my current job.
    So Pissed!

  • That’s really sad to hear. Now the game journalist are going to have a field day with this during their pod casts.

  • Does this game even exist?
    If it doesn’t make it out this holiday season I know a lot of people will not get it.
    I’m glad it is being made perfect though.

  • Compensation please!!!!!!

  • It’s asinine!
    If I delay my work several times where I work, guess what…my head will roll!

  • The more i think about this the more pissed off i become!!!!!!

  • P.s.
    These late announcements are getting annoying though.
    It already happened with LBP2. :(
    I’m so sad…but also happy since I can’t get everything at once anyway.

  • I can’t believe this anymore. This must be a bad joke. I just wanna wake up. :(

  • this delay is cos of the clash with call of duty black ops, if they delay the game till xmas it means more sales. theres no bugs with the game its a sales ploy.

  • E where people are the demo of this S*** also to test it! Nor the demon was made available we to test! Where it is! If the Polyphony in such a way wants the opinion of fâns of the GT, because not yet they had made available a Demo?

    The majority of the games that are launched, places an daily pay-evaluation demo! I find that also we have the right to have a demo of the GT!
