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.
OH HELL NO…are you kidding me??!!
OMG, I’m so pissed I can’t even describe my words right now….but I think for censorship sake I think I better hold my tongue.
I can’t believe this…..>_<
I have been pissed off all day, and I just cannot shake it loose so I just cancelled my collectors edition from gamestop and put ordered Call of Duty Black Ops for the 360. I am done with Sony. Normally I would just shrug it off but I used my vacation days to be off for this game.
Oh my god.
maybe “Duke Nukem Forever” will be lauched before GT5!
and we got GT Firever!
Are you kidding me…
Maybe they are going to add real-time weather effects via The Weather Channel!
…You know, Polyphony, there’s this thing called the Internet. You can now use it to release patches to your games. I’m sure whatever it is you’ve discovered can be fixed via a patch. This is the first post I’ve EVER given a 1/5 to on this blog. Anyway, I’m hoping “holiday” means before Christmas! I’m not canceling my pre-order or anything, I’m just annoyed.
BS
What’s left for Christmas? No LBP2, No Socom 4, No GT5. You guys should have skipped E3 all together instead of just throwing fake release dates out.
Subway was quick to tweet:

To those who won GT5 or LBP2 during the #FieryFootlong Fire Drills. Rest assured you’ll still receive your games before they hit stores.
“they are creating the perfect racing experience”
Wait, wait. PERFECT? No art is perfect. No Machine is perfect. No game will be perfect either!
For exemple: Your damage system is CRAP. It´s BS. Will you, Kazunori Yamauchi (and the rest at PD), make it perfect? Then make another franchise: PERFECT DAMAGE TURISMO or whatever! And we will wait for 2 or 3 years.
You promissed for the WORLD, Kazunori Yamauchi, thousand times, that THIS time the NOVEMBER DATE would be kept.
At E3 you said it for millions to see.
It´s that kind of respect that WE, that brings you MILLIONS and MILLIONS of dollars to your pocket, deserve? Yeah, it looks like.
I´m waiting for more than 5 years for this game and when it comes out, I will not thank you guys at PD. I will still HATE YOU GUYS for keeping treating us like CLOWNS for that many years!
I will play and I will have fun, for sure, but will not admire you as a company that consider and respect their huge fan base.
Another delay as that is completely unexcusable. One more thing: EVERY DAY COUNTS. We are counting the days for too long. I hate you guys for this.
F.Off. the new release date. F.Off!!
this is complete unacceptable bs. stupid kaz and stupid sony.
can you release a offical cars list then if you have delayed it
Terrible business decision on Sony’s part.
Is this company run by a bunch of chimpanzees?
Imagine the outrage if Halo were delayed on 360. That would never happen though because MS isnt stupid like Sony is.
I was thinking about buying GT5… but Now I’m not touching this game OUT OF PRINCIPLE. Dont get my hopes up with a release date and then delay it over and over and over… and over again. and again….. and then again.
The way this game has been handled is absolutely pathetic, and I’m surprised someone hasn’t been fired over this debacle yet.
Do you think that whole “Duke Nukem Forever” thing they posted on the blog yesterday was a hint? LOL
oh my gosh, Sony just announced they’re delaying the holiday season too! No Thanksgiving until 2011!! SOONNNYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! >:(
To SCE,
You can tell me that this game will be released during this holiday season, but I don’t believe you. Earlier I thought I could, but I can’t trust you all anymore. You have ****ed up so many times and you have lied so often now I wonder if Gran Turismo 5 will ever see the light of day. Congrats, you messed things up, just like you always do, I don’t know if I am going to even buy any more Sony products. I might be one person, but I usually spend $500 a year on your stuff. Do the math. Lotta money
This is an absolute joke. If u cant put your game when you say you will then dont bloody say you will.
i swear if this game is delayed to 2011 i will simply walk away from the gran turismo series.
Why can’t I rate this 0 squares? This sucks.
The delay is fine with me… I just want them to get it right. I just really hope they take out NASCAR in the meantime and add it as DLC for those who like just making left turns…
I’ve waited this long whats another month or so.
I blame Kevin Butler, he hasn’t upheld on his project that ryhmes with “Man Furismo Jive” while living with the Maguires. Get “Move”-ing! :)
I’m not one to complain, but this is ridiculous.
I doubt this delay is going to change anything we’d even notice at this point.
Are our complaints even being heard?
They havent responded yet. I wonder if they even care or if these guys heads are so far up there ass that they didnt even notice.
@514 and everyone else complaining about the delay: So, releasing the game before it’s truly ready is a better business decision?
Really?
I can just see it now: “GT5 released on time – to a slew of game breaking bugs and other problems. they should have waited to release this game.”
Grow up people – game releases are NOT set in stone – they never have been. The game’s only been delayed a total of 2-3 times. It’s just taken a REALLY long time to get made.
Keep in mind that it takes them at LEAST a month to fully render one car in the game – researching it’s sounds, performance, taking thousands of pictures of it, getting lap times where and whenever possible.
Couple that with interior modeling, and the fact that there’s at least 1000 cars in the game, and yeah, it’s gonna take a long as hell time to get finished.
Quite frankly, a delay isn’t surprising – even this close to release. In fact, I’d have been surprised if the game HAD released on time.
Seriously, what’s making you guys think this game has been delayed so much? It hasn’t. ( Side note: Both GT3 AND GT4 were both delayed as well before they released. )
I think after the number of “delays”, Polyphony owes it’s fans (read that as “the people who have already shelled out the cash by pre-ordering) a bit more of an explanation than “we’re making it better”.
No release date and the vague reference of info in the “near future”…
C’mon, Polyphony, set a date and meet the deadline. The technology to “update” the program automatically is readily used by everyone else on the PSN and that option would certainly make many of us content instead of just shaking our heads in disbelief…again.
when it does ship we will still have at least a good 3 hours of patches to download. that or it’ll break/freeze-up/explode your PS3. Make sure you get that “extended protection plan” off PSN before inserting disc.
This is a shameful way to treat your customers, Sony.
I’m expecting a free demo of the latest build on November 2. This has gone for too long Sony, too long.
so my ps3 just got the yellow light of death. i was going to buy another ps3 just to play this game, but as george bush says “fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice, well, i cant be fooled twice.” i never thought id say this, but i am giving it till the end of the month and if sony/PD doesnt have some amazing news for us, i will be buying an xbox 360. coming from a diehard gran turismo fan, this should mean something, but obviously sony cares more about money than public opinion. ive already canceled my preorder on gran turismo because i will not pay money for uncertainty. TWO WEEKS SONY. thats all you have to restore my faith.
I am kinda glad, I’m definitely getting this one for christmas since im getting a new High Def television this will look great. I think that theyve delayed this three times now, but im sure that this will be THE playstation 3 greatest hit.
I’m hoping this is a joke.
Get the game out! It’s not going to be perfect when you release it. You can just patch it later like every other game does.
And, it’s got to be better than Prologue, right? We all liked Prologue – so just get the full game out.
I suspect that it was delayed because of the ‘bug/glitch’ that causes the road to vanish in the Nürburgring track. Though it doesn’t seem to happen that often and it only lasts some seconds, it is still a mark of imperfection.
Even I would delay it for that if I was Yamauchi-san.
Go Polyphony Digital!! I know you will do everything it takes to not disappoint us. I support you…I hope this time you guys get everything right and put this masterpiece on the market before year’s end.
Who cares!!!!! I just wonder why this comes as a shock to everyone. I mean how many times has the release date been delayed/changed? Get over it. What pisses me off is that instead of being able to download a free 1 or 2 track demo of GT5 they force you to pay $40($60 when 1st released) for a disc demo!!!! WHAT A CROCK!!!!! I think i speak for most of us when i say “I’ll just pick on of the other hundred racing games already released to play!!!”
Ok. For all the people saying this delay is not a big deal, they need to think for a second. The reason the game is being delayed has nothing to do with PD, it has to do with Sony, and their bullcrap 3D television. They are delaying the game to optimize their profits for their new goddamn Television.
Well guess what sony. While you were delaying the GT5 again, and trying to suck as much money off of your loyal fans as you could, i went and sold my PS3 and bought an XBOX. the Forza 3 game might not be perfect, or legendary, but atleast it did not take 390568 years to release.
Message to Sony : You want to make money? try not screwing your fans over. When the day comes that you guys can be true to your word, ill buy my PS3 back. until then, ill continue to play the not so satisfying Forza 3 while all the other Playstation fans sit back and wait.
i feel like this is just a marketing scheme. To get more sales.
It is a marketing scheme man. They are Fukking us over
and also, like other people have already stated. This delay is probably just going to make them lose sales. People are going to buy NFS Hot Pursuit and forget about GT5. Unfortunately for me NFS isn’t really a substitute for the GT series and i have no choice but to wait =(
I’m really pissed right now. I took a week’s vacation for this game all for NOTHING!
I had a really bad feeling about this yesterday when they delayed it in Russia
and for those ppl that took a wekk off, shame on you. you should have known that Playstation would just take another crap on our chins and delay the game again. If you want to know what week to take off, you wont need to, ull be retired.
Ouch.
Can we just scrap GT5 and start GT6? At this rate GT6 will be out before GT5!
There better be a good reason for another delay on gran turismo 5 or im gonna be seriously ticked off.
I am simply speechless at this point…
Never tell us the game is being made or show it at e3 or anything beacuse we get screwed over at the end. My bro said to cancel pre order, but eb games said there list hasn’t been updated so Nov 2. So i don’t now …… what is this !! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ COME ON ! just ruined my day.
I was so stoked for this to come out November 2nd… :(
It would be nice of them to give a proper reason why, and to release a demo on PSN. There was a demo of GT5 at Best buy, why can’t they upload that to PSN? It’ll be better than waiting ANOTHER month…
“A great game will be forgiven if it is late, but a bad game is bad forever.”
Oh my god!!!! what the ****? :O how much time do you need more? its been already 5+ years already -_-.
i guess i will just pick Need For Speed Limited Edition and GT5 regular edition later.
also the fact that no one has come on here to address the 544 comments on this blog is just adding insult to injury.
Take your time Polyphony. What’s another few weeks to the amount we’ve waited so far?
Now gamestop has the release date set at 1/1/2011
You can look forward to this game being released sometime next year, but who knows what date
The management behind this game has been downright pathetic. Shame on you guys.
