The delay is most likely a marketing ploy (by Sony not Polyphony digital) or something like the damage modeling is taking longer than expected. Whatever it is, we'll probably see a simultaneous worldwide release now.

Overall though, I don't see what all the fuss is about over it taking sooooooo long.

Think about it.

They only have 110 staff.

It takes, on average, 4.5 months to completely model a car, inside and out.

By my calculations it would take almost 4 years to model the 1000 cars alone, and that's not including time taken for track/scenery modeling, interface development, online capability, damage programming, and the physics engine.

Besides, they'll even be announcing a new manufacturer at TAS.... This from GTPlanet....

And, finally, one of the most exciting quotes regarding this Friday's Tokyo Auto Salon:

"Yes, my team and I will be there. We're planning to have one of the biggest GT5 displays we've ever built. There will be more manufacturer agreements announced there as well. It'll be a great show for us."

well maybe if they stopped adding in extra cars (like the prototype of the ft-86 g sport) it might get out quicker. and maybe they should hire more staff so they can get the game released while they still have a fan base big enough to make the game profitable.

It has ONLY been delay in JAPAN!

everywhere else is still on target to get it when they planned. as it has been mention its the big boys at sony not PD

that is only because japan was the only place to have a release date. and if japan doesn't get it, the rest of the world won't either. otherwise it would be like nissan designing the GTR then saying that japan won't get it but the rest of the world will.

wow is this still going on. as i said, i dont care as long as it comes out. all those flaming the time it takes obviously arent fans of GT. and as i have also said before, on release of the PS3 they said GT5 will be 2010....by my calculations thats this yr....so that means theyre on time, even if they were a bit optomistic with initial release date.

and if the driving academy thing is anything to go by, bring it on....love it, feels soo good. need to get my wheel setup sorted

Is anyone doing the GT challenge? f**k the fatest time in the tuned car is hard, im 7 seconds off it and cant even keep up with his/her ghost.

im 5 seconds off his tuned record, 6 off his stock record

Edited by GTR-boy

Anyone still playing GT5P? Cause I am...... :)

Time trial (Arcade)

Suzuka

NSX Type R - 2:16.496 (rank 203)

RX7 - 2:19.560 (rank 95)

R34 GTR - 2:20.336 (rank 89)

Need steering wheel to do better.... Still like average of 3.5-5secs off 1st place =/

gt5 fail number 1 http://www.godisageek.com/2010/02/gran-tur...in-autumn-2010/

gt5 fail number 2 http://www.gtplanet.net/

so basically the first story means that we will not in fact see gt5 before xmas (because we all know how accurate their time frames are) and then in 7 years time when gt5 finally does get released (it will still be released on ps3 yet they will be up to the PS5 by then) you will have the choice of driving a nissan mica and a toyota yaris as they will have scrapped every other car that they have said will be in the game.

On another note, the damage in gt5 is more to do with the wear and tear of the vehicle rather than crashing and smashing. As explained by gamespot.com when they were checking out the damage model.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
