He was the son of F1 champion John Surtees, the only man to ever win a world championship on both motorcycles and four wheels.

I hope if they do play it they use a wheel and turn off assists unlike the time they played GT on PS2.

At least he doesn't have to deal with a teammate getting all the good parts in GT.
Btw, here's a recente tweet from Piquet:
He's describing that picture as "just a playstation with a wheel" and saying R factor is much better. :lol He also said to a different person that Renault doesn't have a simulator.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
actually it's used for torque transfer control at cornering and spin-like situations.Epic_Dave said:

Based on the page you linked though, he's also right...blu said:
The guy above me knows what he's talking about.
I use it mostly when I'm about to come off the apex only to realize I'm going too fast. So while maintaining some throttle I go down on my brakes with my left foot. It upsets the weight balance of the car a lot less then If I was to lift off the throttle completely.

Nah, I'm pretty convinced this is coming this year. I think they're trying to go for a bit of a perfect storm with the slim / price drop / gt5 / FFXIII (in Japan).
They need a re-launch, and I think this will likely be it.

Indeed. I don't seen any other franchises that matches the description.
Price cut/Gran Turismo 5/FF XIII exclusive in Japan would be huge for Sony and they are very well aware of that.

Could it possibly be The Last Guardian? I definitely wouldn't even begin to speculate that GT5 is coming out this year although it would make sense for Sony to relaunch w/PS3 slim and this along with Uncharted and a price drop. However, this is Sony we are talking about here.
I still say March 2010. Either I'll be right, which is rare so that will make me happy, or I'll be wrong, and playing GT5 which will make me happier. Unless they release it later than March, which I really can't see.phil_t said:Is there anyone that doesn't now think GT5 is hitting in time for Xmas?
I've already been badgering the missus to get me a PS3 + GT5 for Xmas, sod the usual socks and aftershave from the kids, give me something I might actually use!!

Exactly. There isn't a big deal. It's to create buzz around the magazine. Twitter is absolutely useless for any sort of reliable news. This E3 proved that.
I don't understand how Sony can afford not to release Gran Turismo this year. I'm generally strongly in favor of the "when it's done" model because I want development teams to have all the time they need to realize their creative vision. However, from a business perspective, Sony has had a very rough time financially in recent years, and the longer you delay the release, the more you're spending on development and not earning on sales. This is Sony's biggest franchise, and it's been well over a year since GT5 Prologue was released. Can they really afford to miss another holiday season? A "PS3 Slim" plus GT5, Uncharted, and Ratchet would make for a very intriguing holiday lineup. Even though I see Uncharted 2 as the most likely candidate for being the best game of 2009 (ND is amazing) and I love Insomniac's Ratchet, neither have the recognition of the general public that Gran Turismo has. Not even remotely close. That lineup just isn't the same without GT5, even with a possible "Slim" model. With GT5 in the mix, they could do surprisingly well. I just don't see how they could put off a release any further given that it could supposedly be released any time.

Because with every PS3 they sell, Sony are still losing money. Why in the world would they release their biggest, system selling franchise when they would lose money on every PS3 they sold?
It's obvious what's happening. Sony are waiting for the slim, where they will make money on each unit sold, but also probably until margins have increased even more, to a point where they can bundle the hell out of GT5, get solid sales, and make a handy profit at the same time...and if that means waiting until next year, I'm pretty sure that's what they'll do.
Sony have been their own masters this time, they're not getting goaded into anything by anybody.
