I'm just as irritated by the makers of GT for delaying this thing so damn long, but the amount of work that has gone into making this game is insane and I know gameplay will reflect nicely. The GT folks worked their asses off to make something that will blow everything else out of the water, and I have to admit that I'm giddy llike a school girl and can't friggin wait for it to finally come out! Forza is great and all but there's just something about Gran Turismo that gets me all wet and bothered, and I'm sure you guys feel the same, especially if you played the first one and fell in love like I did. I've played every single Gran Turismo and milked the hell out of every version... The game is amazing and I can't wait for the new one... COME OUT ALREADY!!!

Besides the cars, tracks, precision, detail, etc of GT5 there's also something about the progression of the career mode that I always enjoyed. You had to save yer moneys, be selective in which cars to buy and upgrade. The progression was perfectly staggered from licenses to building your garage. Forza never quite got that right.

Let's try to keep the fan-boy comments to a minimum eugenile and zumnwrx. I only posted this to update people that want the game.

Also neither Sony or PD have ever given specific release dates like this one. PD has said its ready and they can release it whenever and Sony has said it should be ready by so and so. Retailers have been making release date claims since day 1 but clearly they have no idea what they are talking about.

In the time it has taken for GT5 to be release:

I sold my PS3
2 Versions of Forza have been released (i bought both)

that pretty much sums up my thoughts on GT5... looks fun but i dont have a PS3 anymore, and im pretty sure its just vaporware that will never come out.

While it's great that this game is finally coming out, any good will they had from me was squandered long ago with all the ridiculous delays. Sure, it's an amazing list of cars, but that doesn't change the fact that the gameplay is more than likely going to be the same repetitious ****: race the same track over and over and over and over and over to earn small amounts of money to buy a new car to race a different track over and over and over and over, rinse and repeat. That's not an exaggeration, either; seriously, go back and play GT4 again and tell me I'm wrong. I'll wait.

Anyway, all that stuff just isn't "fun", in my personal opinion. Forza may not have the same exhaustive list of cars (99% you'll never see or use, 'cause you'll all be racing STi's anyway, right? :P), Forza at least gets it right in how quickly paced everything is.

But hey, that's just me.

The PS2 has only been around for 10 years and nearly 4 of those years have been with the PS3.

Your math is broken.

PS2 hit store shelves in September 2000; sure, it's been alive a few months longer if you factor in Japan, but Superglue's right; your math is broken.

Yeah I got my friend to buy a 360 almost 3 years ago now, under the agreement that I would buy a PS3 when GT5 comes out and keep it in his room (We're roommates 1/2 the week)

oh but they modeled the interior of the cars for us!!! :| :| :| whoGAF!?!? I don't even use the interior view.

Does anyone prefer the outside view? the one thats 20 feet behind the car in the air? I can't feel what the car is doing when in interior view. I noticed all the kids who play initial D use interior view and its the hardest thing to use IMO. Maybe they just wanna look cool?

I was close to buying a japanese or euro PS when they had a bunch of cool mountain racing games in it.

FYI Auto Modelista by Capcom (For US PS) was a sick game for its time and would be worth buying if you found it in a used gamestop rack.

Cell shaded (cartoony cars) with pretty good mods, vinyl sticker studio, mountain courses and other real life tracks. speed streaks and drift splashes make the sense of speed. this game is definitely psychedelic.

i actually use the in car view with GT5P. if you sit really close to the tv, you actually have a good sense of driving and where the car is to the road.
