Gran Turismo 5 experiences second delay

[TripleA]

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/10/13/gran-turismo-5-release-update/

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.

This is what happens when the Japanese are given too much power.

It's really fucked up that there's a chance fucking DUKE NUKEM FOREVER will be out before Gran Turismo 5.

No, it's poetic justice.

Also, at your avatar. Do you have a full-size of it by any chance?

[Sho Nuff]

  Oh my god what is wrong with them

[Robo]

This is going to be a disaster.

This is going to be a disaster.

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit is going to be the real racing GOTY and everyone knows it.

Duke Nukem Forever will be out before GT5.

I don't think so.

[AdmiralViscen]

Green Man left weeping in a corner by....... Manabyte?!

[TripleA]

I wonder what the reason for the delay was, review copies have (apparently) already been sent out.

[ferrarimanf355]

The GAF meltdown was worth it for this.

So January then?

So January then?

At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised at all if the game still isn't released by E3 2011.

Wow. So the subway promotion is a huge FLOP

- Win LBP2? Awesome, no wait Jan 2011

- Win GT5? Awesome, no wait 2011

[TripleA]

I'm guessing September 2011.

I'm guessing March.

Delays without dates are never good.

Sup NBA Elite.

this is GOLD

I'm laughing my friggn ass off at the assholes who pre-paid their $400 Prestige bundles, only to have to to wait even longer. This game is NEVER coming out.

Gran Turismo Never

They could just get Forza Motorsport or NFS Hot Pursuit.

I dunno, aren't those games supposed to actually be fun?

Is having a snowball fight with pitching great Randy Johnson a bad idea?

I see nothing has changed from GT4...
Why are stards hyping this shit

There are tons of much better,fun,non-boring games incoming.

[TripleA]

I wouldn't mind mutant cars in GT5.

Forza isn't the least bit fun.

Hot Pursuit

Mario Kart is more fun.

[Eel O'Brian]

yeah, i don't buy that security issue stuff

[TripleA]

You know, that would make an awesome race mode.

Also, I think this hilarious:

Like I said it is manufacturing issues. I had it confirmed today.

The problem arose when SCE mandated SDK 350 on all games releasing after after October, GT5 was about to go gold running on SDK 341, but it has been delayed by around a week so that they can update to SDK 350. This has caused a big headache for the manufacturing side, given how big this game is missing the gold date by even a week can cause a months worth of delay as slots are already taken up at this time of year for Blu-ray movies and such. So Sony had to find a 3 week slot big enough to make 7m+ copies of this and get them shipped out.

If you want to blame anyone, I would direct it at the pirates and hackers, SCE never had any real SDK restrictions before firmware 3.41 was compromised.

So what, there are tons of ready to go GT5 games sitting somewhere waiting to be destroyed because of a handful of pirates and now they need to be reprinted with a new firmware? Jesus Sony.

From a business point of view, it makes sense.

From a consumer point of view, they dun goofed.

[TripleA]

yeah, i don't buy that security issue stuff

You may not buy it, but that sounds exactly like the kind of move a multi-billion dollar corporation would make in order to protect their multi-billion dollar investment.

[maxy]

 
what a lame excuse,only sony fans can believe something like that
3.50 will be cracked also

Nope sounds like the first gold was on track for manufacture then it had to be recompiled on the new SDK and it caused a delay.

Plus with other companies wanting games and blurays to be dealt with, it fucked up the schedule royally.


If so then Sony's madate fro the newer SDK was too close.

[Eel O'Brian]

they have to protect their multi-billion dollar investment from the couple thousand or so people that even have that usb plug thing

[Purple Filth]

I'm guessing the answer is somewhere in the range of "the game wasn't fucking done"

yea it sounds like the game was finished near the date it was supposed to go in for manufacturing and they they had to update.

there is a quote of Kaz saying they gave the (assumed fully updated) game in 3 days late.

[Purple Filth]

.

[Purple Filth]

more time for me anyways 

[TripleA]

Yeah, you don't get it.

[TripleA]

By the time this game comes out, the cars it features will be in used car lots around the world.

?

[MyNameIsMethodis]

the greatest games ever take more time to become perfect, no matter how many xbots thing it's laughable.

i made a video showing how DUMB you IDIOTS are

The best part of that video is that manabyte commented on it.

[pilonv1]

If it was this SDK issue and finding time to print the discs, they would be able to come up with a date based on the time taken to recompile it and when they could schedule it to duplicate by.

The fact they've given no date means that rumour is pie in the sky garbage.

edit: also couldn't they just have issued a day one patch?

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

I want to know how much money Sony sank into this game.

My guess is $70-80 million.

[Eel O'Brian]

Yeah, you don't get it.

well it's a good thing you're here to explain it in a post of great length and peppered with 3 year old photo memes that i will ignore and nearly sprain my index finger scrolling past

Fixed.

[TripleA]

They probably delayed it to get the visuals up to par with Forza.

My guess is double that.
