Sure, but they also haven't talked about the game. I just don't get why GT5 gets so much shit for taking 5 years to develop while other games have taken just as long and no one says anything about them. The game is extremely ambitious, which isn't really a word that's generally used for racing games. It should take awhile to cook. Much like the original GT did, which also took 5 years to develop as Kaz has noted.

Was all set on importing this in March, but even though this is one of my most anticipated games of the year, moving it from March is probably a better idea in the long run. It'll be a cheaper month for me for a start
I'm not a racing game fan so this doesn't really concern me that much, but I don't like that this franchise is turning into an industry laughing stock (at least for the press and for some of us gamers) .
Their constant talk along the lines of "we could release it right now if we wanted to...", doesn't help either.
That said - a release closer to the holidays might make more sense anyway since we don't have many big first party titles on the radar for that timeframe yet.
And, if we're really lucky, we'll get to see "translator dude" again at this years E3 press conference.

WW release at a bit later date means more time either polishing the game or including planned features all the while working on the localization.
At the same time the releases were always staggered by at least a couple of months. But those games weren't as ambitious as GT5 and they weren't 4-5 years in the making.
A WW release makes sense but at this point it's hard to guess what's going to happen.
I'm ok with these delays if it means a high quality product but at this point I'm expecting near perfection in all the little more often overlooked aspects. It better have the ultimate online setup and more camera views than in the TT. Customizable FOV...things like that.
On a side I've been playing PGR3 with the Fanatec and one aspect that needs to be in GT5 is the interactive showroom and garages. Hey if Prologue can render 16 high res cars on a track as it does it can do that many in a garage with ease.
Walk into a dealership and walk around the cars. Take a peek to view the interior. Take the car for a spin outside the dealership. Funny to think that PGR3 is over 4 years old now. I think GT fans would love this feature and I'm sure Kaz could see the appeal. Graphically the game is built for a mode like this.Unknown One

Delayed by 1 month for Japan.

This was your "garage" in the CES demo
All playable cars sitting next to one another. So it looks like they could be doing something similar to that.

Eurogamer:
Sony Europe has said that Gran Turismo 5's latest delay is "only applicable for the Japanese market", although the platform holder also declined to estimate when the game will be released.
"This information on the GT release is only applicable for the Japanese market," the company said in a statement to Eurogamer. "SCEE will announce the launch date for this game in the PAL territories in due course."
Sony Japan had announced a March 2010 release date for Gran Turismo 5 at the Tokyo Game Show last year, while SCEE had been a little more cautious, declining to confirm a date for the much-anticipated Polyphony Digital racer.

GT PSP was released simultaneously worldwide. Wouldn't be surprised if they do the same with GT5. I was actually expecting a worldwide release before they announced March for Japan and TBA for everywhere else.Iknos said:WW release at a bit later date means more time either polishing the game or including planned features all the while working on the localization.

It's possible that they're simply delaying the game until Summer for Japan with plans to do a worldwide release, giving Kaz more time to polish the game while simultaneously working on the localization. The ps3 has a great March in Japan already, between Yakuza 4 and Resonance of Fate, so might as well save it for the dry Summer season while also improving the game in preparation for its release in Europe, its most important region.

Hopefully that's the case. Everybody is tired of waiting.
I am really bored with the whole GT5 thing now.
The way Sony and PD have announced delay after delay is nothing short of a clowns circus act. The statement "We can release it any time." is the funniest and at the same time most embarrassing statements made this gen
I am not arsed any more about this game.
When or indeed if it comes out then great it's out but, I sure aint gonna rush out and buy it. The Demo was a huge disappointment in my eyes and did nothing to get me excited about this game.
Sure it looked pretty but so did the snow last week in England ;-).
Any way, sack Sony and PD for taking the piss with this game.

To Be Cancelled?
*yaaaawn*
i give up on this game, disliked gt5p, forza 3 already given me my sim fix, unless gt5 really does something amazing out of the box, im not even gonna bother till its cheap 2nd hand (and once i find a ps3 pad with decent sticks, ps3 pads are too loose to be accurate)

What if the delay was to make a worldwide release alongside the new Bravia 3D HDTV ?
Sony has been pushing 3D a lot at CES. They have a firmware update coming this summer for the PS3, the TVs are also going to be released this summer.
Sony won't have much content to show off those TVs anytime soon beside gaming. Blu-Ray 3D are only coming this fall in great numbers (very few releases before that) and live 3D TV is a long way off.
Gran Turismo 5 could be a great launch title for their "3D revolution".
Of course it seems weird but I want to believe that it's "only" for this that it was delayed and that the end of the tunnel is near... :-(
Another possibility is that, as rumored, EA is going to lose the exclusivity for Porsche in march and PD could get them in the game without paying a sublicense to EA.

I wish I could find the post... but someone suggested that they were going to delay it when they started going on about all this 3D stuff. I also wouldn't be surprised if they were going to now try and shoehorn 3D in there for release.G Rom said:

Technically it's the first official delay. We know it's been delayed more than that in reality (vs internal timelines).andymuza said:

I think that the first release date was given at TGS09,and it was March. I can`t remember any delay.
OH SNAP!
Maybe they want a worldwide release?
That being said, you are going to be disappointed because it doesnt have girly men on weird outfits with spiky hair and tons of belts! !!! lolz

At least Heavy Rain gets a +1 sale now :lol
BeeDog said:Going from "we can release it whenever we want" to "delay due to development issues" scares me a lot. There must be some seriously huge problems behind the curtains.
Maybe development issues isn't the term I should have used, it's more about accomodating development.
