[Trevelyan]

Says it all: 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.

From Eurogamer on the European Delay:

Sony Europe has confirmed to Eurogamer that Gran Turismo 5 has been delayed in Europe, too.

Gran Turismo 5 will now be released here "before Christmas".

Update via http://kotaku.com/5662886/gran-turismo-5-delayed-now-coming-this-holiday-season:

SCEA tells Kotaku that the delay is indeed global adding that they can't elaborate on whether "holiday season" could mean early 2011. When asked for specifics about the cause of the delay they only said that "Polyphony is optimizing ever aspect to provide the best racing experience."

[EktorPR]

I'm not anticipating the game at all, but...damn. Poor fans.

[crowphoenix]

Damn. A buddy of mine is really looking forward to this. And if they didn't give us a date, that seems like a bad thing.

 

[I AM JOHN!]

Oh, Polyphony.

 

[offshore]

RAGEEEEE

 

[bjork]

Ah what the shit. This is gonna be my dad's birthday present. At least be out by the 8th.

 

[fu3lfr3nzy]

I'm having such a shitty time at work atm that I've been anticipating the next 3 weeks.

*takes antidepressants*

 

[Mecha_Infantry]

Probabaly a week delay or summing

 

[spiderman123]

really really!!!! REALLLLY!! .........ok i could live with that

 

[Spaulding]

Somehow I can't believe this delay will only affect NA...

 

[Loudninja]

Odd did they run into problems or something?

 

[gutterboy44]

Well, I jinxed this one by requesting Nov 2nd off yesterday. RAGE!

 

[RavenFox]

Fuck you Sony!

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Is GT5 real? I'm beginning to think Sony is just trolling us

 

[Lagspike_exe]

Probabaly a week delay or summing

I'm gonna bet it's releasing in December. :lol

 

[KAL2006]

damn LittleBigPlanet 2 was also delayed, hopefully they are not lying and this does come out this holiday.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

oh god :lol how could they :lol again:lol

 

[Chavelo]

PROFOUND SADNESS...

And also... Fuck! They had to delay LBP2 for this to be delayed too? The shit is going on?

 

[YianGaruga]

Does this affect the EU release date?

 

[Fersis]

OH COME ON!!!

</GOB>

 

[Arnie]

:lol

 

[alr1ght]

 

[MYE]

 

[KingDizzi]

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol Fucking hell

 

[navanman]

And what the hell does holiday release really mean? Is that a pre-Xmas release or another early January release.

This is the 2nd fuck up of a Sony title in November, the other being LBP.

 

[backbreaker65]

This is soooo Funny WOW!!!!

 

[Lagspike_exe]

Somehow I can't believe this delay will only affect NA...

Russia has been already confirmed for delay. Germany is suspected as well.

 

[Roxas]

I read there were technical problems in the Russian version or something. Must've been a worldwide problem

GT5 :lol

 

[Fersis]

BRB
Buying a wii.

T__T

 

[DevilWillcry]

GT5 is cursed

 

[Conceited]

Fuck.

 

[hylje]

OH DEAR

 

[Dead Prince]

and i had every right to complain about LBP2 delay. Way to fucking go Sony.

Glad I cancelled my preorder when I did for both games.

 

[MrPliskin]

More proof that "rumor and speculation" is just as good as "go fuck yourself, we'll say it's delayed when we want to, this story never happened".

 

[Brazil]

How many delays has this game been through now? 30? :lol

 

[Sykane]

Makes me not want to buy GT5 out of spite alone....but I still will (when it is finally released in 2011 or some shit)

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Sony and PD you fuckers, wonder if they want to bring it out in December now.

 

[RavenFox]

:lol :lol

 

[Loudninja]

How many delays has this game been through now? 30? :lol

2.

 

[offshore]

So close as well. Oh man, this totally sucks.

Although this now gives Sony a chance to have a one day launch worldwide, instead of the UK being three days behind.. :lol

 

[DSmalls84]

Wow I thought for sure it would meet the release date this time, it's getting to be a little ridiculous at this point.

 

[Hydrargyrus]

WTF
Why???


And what happens in Europe??

 

[Fixed1979]

Considering how close it is to the planned release date I would think that this is a production issue?

 

[Gowans]

:lol :lol :lol

Somehow I can't believe this delay will only affect NA...

Yup, looking forward to this too after all the hype want to really get my hands on.


Doesn't someone have a bet on this wouldn't release that week? Giant Bomb?

 

[fu3lfr3nzy]

How many delays has this game been through now? 30? :lol
