Gran Turismo 5 Confirmed for Tokyo Game Show
September 11th, 2009 by Jordan
Tensions were high last June at E3, when everyone and their brother expected something about Gran Turismo 5 to be announced at the largest trade show in the gaming industry. We got a cool trailer, but nothing else about the game was revealed. Next up was GamesCom, where the first playable version (with damage) was demonstrated. These delightful tidbits were released despite the fact that the game was not released on Sony’s “official list” of game titles to be highlighted at the show.
That trend is about to change for the upcoming Tokyo Game Show – Sony’s just released their official exhibitor list, with Gran Turismo 5 right in the middle of things. Kazunori Yamauchi has already confirmed that we can expect a “major advancement” at TGS, and with this new confirmation, we could see more revealed about the game than ever before. The show begins on September 24 – mark your calendars!

Bout fooookin time
September 11th, 2009 at 1:08 pm
J-13. Hyped. Pumped. Excited. :D
September 11th, 2009 at 1:14 pm
Jordan I think you posted the TGS 2008 list, not 2009
September 11th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
Jordan you made a mistake. This is a wrong link
September 11th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
Sorry about that, the link is pointing to the 2009 lineup now.
September 11th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
AAHH much better now :D
September 11th, 2009 at 1:28 pm
Jolly good!
September 11th, 2009 at 1:28 pm
We can expect “major advancement”, I’m just getting more and more pessimistic. Guys, I feel sorry for ya’… I’m not even anymore very excited about GT5…
September 11th, 2009 at 1:31 pm
Well, DUH! News for news sake?
September 11th, 2009 at 1:32 pm
Finally A press conference without the annoying GT PSP. K.Y. WILL TALK ONLY ABOUT GT5 THIS TIME. Thank you… GODS OF GAMING-DRIVING-GRAN TURISMO
September 11th, 2009 at 1:39 pm
what if they announce that it will be on the 360? that pretty bid for an announcement right?
September 11th, 2009 at 1:39 pm
This is sounding more and more like we’ll see examples of what they want to do with the game as opposed to ‘here’s the finished product and this is when you can play it’. I’ll eat my hat if we see it released this year :(
September 11th, 2009 at 1:46 pm
Yay, I can’t wait for TGS. this 2 weeks I will be under electricity ^^
September 11th, 2009 at 1:46 pm
Comment for comment’s sake, Nomino?
September 11th, 2009 at 1:52 pm
Whats this big advancement gonna be? I hope its something like designing your own race driver avitar, or the radio in the car actually works. or maybe CUSTOMIZATION. 0_o
September 11th, 2009 at 1:54 pm
@Context No way they say something like that First of all its the Sony’s press conference so they will talk only about Playstation. SCE also owns PD so there is no way they release it for XBOX. K.Y. hates the XBOX as well as Forza
September 11th, 2009 at 1:55 pm
YAY!
September 11th, 2009 at 2:07 pm
Calendar marked :D
September 11th, 2009 at 2:24 pm
I’m stoked!
September 11th, 2009 at 2:43 pm
@ context, Are u on heroin?
September 11th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
Until Gran Turismo is out, my need for a new racing fix will be soothed with the new Need for Speed. Yeah, yeah, its arcadey, its this, its that..I know. But it looks great, and theres no doubt I can get at least a few weeks of fun out of it before I sell it to Gamestop and put the credits toward the purchase of GT5. :)
Onward to December!
September 11th, 2009 at 3:27 pm
Stop getting your hopes up guys. I wish it would be a release date, but it’ll be a car or track list or something like that. This game is next year. Time we faced up to it.
@cobraagent90 are you sure he hates the xbox and forza, or like you said maybe it’s just he works for SONY!!
September 11th, 2009 at 3:47 pm
less than two weeks away I cant wait!
chris, i hope you are being sarcastic. All signs have pointed to a december release.
September 11th, 2009 at 4:07 pm
It’s the PSEye interface feature
September 11th, 2009 at 4:08 pm
GREAT!!!!!!!!!
September 11th, 2009 at 4:09 pm
@Chris Japanese hate Americans for a lot of reasons and why would K.Y. like xbox: Xbox is American, has less power than the Ps3 and has the Forza series.
September 11th, 2009 at 4:20 pm
Farza is KYs anti christ.
September 11th, 2009 at 4:22 pm
spelling error. forza
September 11th, 2009 at 4:35 pm
Yay!!!
@Mustangmiha
What.. the hell?? ^_^
September 11th, 2009 at 4:38 pm
24 septembers…its my birthday! \o what a gift!
September 11th, 2009 at 4:53 pm
Guys like i said a few weeks ago the game is looking like GT5 Pro because i played the demo, it feels like GT5 PRO and the grahpics also. They should bring it November 2010 for sure!
September 11th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
hope for something BIG about GT5!!!
September 11th, 2009 at 5:19 pm
Both Notorious Man and Golden Sword and Vanished Fleet: Drake’s Fortune sound awesome.
September 11th, 2009 at 5:26 pm
@Bank Alexander
Don’t you think that this became so stupid, we are waiting for new GT since 2007, asking ourselves when is GT5 coming, but I just lost patience. I’ll just stick to my GT4 Prologue. But I’ll get that GT5 anyway.
September 11th, 2009 at 5:36 pm
September 24 may be the day GT5 news will be announced, but we (meaning Americans) wont know anything till the 25th. sucks to be the west.
September 11th, 2009 at 6:52 pm
I predict we get GT5 release before X-mas 09..
September 11th, 2009 at 6:58 pm
clearly chris is a xbox fan, i know them, his negativity gave him away…… i don’t know what would make u think gt is a 2010 release. clearly its december 09 release
September 11th, 2009 at 8:18 pm
good new to hear about gt5 i hope gt5 will be release in 09 i hope so
September 11th, 2009 at 8:25 pm
i cant wait ..seriously!!!I know there is weather coming along because Kaz said in a particular video it will be implemented in the final stages in developing GT5!
September 11th, 2009 at 9:03 pm
funny how this is the same date as the demo for Forza3 is going live. Anyway, GT for PSP will be close to being released and i think K.Y. has spoken about all the he can and he will definitely be really going in-depth as to what this version of GT5 will be offering. I think that the damage model will be a very advanced version this time. I look forward to this but with a pinch of salt. If and I mean a big IF, Kaz and PD don’t deliver enough details than my interest in GT is going to more or less fade and Forza3 wil be getting more of my attention. Let’s hope that ain’t the case eh?
September 11th, 2009 at 9:43 pm
Captain Obvious to the rescue!
And this was for GTP. Everybody knows there’s no TGS without GT
September 11th, 2009 at 10:29 pm
Anyone know if Sony’s “Motion Controller” will make an appearance at TGS
September 11th, 2009 at 11:36 pm
Please KY after this introduce us the weather cycle feat…im bored with damage model bla2..
September 12th, 2009 at 12:12 am
weather, motion control, full interior views are things i want to hear :)
September 12th, 2009 at 1:23 am
@ninja220 Yes Motion Controller will make a second appearance at TGS but I don’t know if they connect it with GT5
September 12th, 2009 at 4:05 am
REAL driving simulator should have at least SKIDMARKS. Come on, i want those 4wd donuts with Evo 8 !
September 12th, 2009 at 4:51 am
So Matt W, all you care about is how the game looks, and you are not bothered about losing money to Gamestop…
September 12th, 2009 at 5:34 am
Yeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaah!
Bring it on!!!
September 12th, 2009 at 8:37 am
Its almost here… PSN ID: oooSTIGooo
September 12th, 2009 at 8:59 am
I am tired of GT release dates. l had reserved GT2,3,&4 only to have the date pushed back month after month, year after year. I think I’ve spent more than a decade waiting, wonderin’ if Ferraris would be included. I want GT to be released in ‘09 like the rest of ya’ll, but past experience tells me to wait, see, wait some more. I’d pray for patience but we all have no choice but to wait. I think I’ll pray for my wallet since to pass the time I’ll debate psp, or slimPS3, G25, or G27.
September 12th, 2009 at 9:26 am
could PD integrate the six axis tech from the dual shock 3 into GT5 (so we could play GT5 wii style). if so, i wouldn’t waste my money on a racing wheel.
September 12th, 2009 at 9:49 am
@ Sam_NY:
Are you nuts? Shame on you! Get a proper racing wheel, anything else will not be worth this game!
September 12th, 2009 at 9:51 am
@ Sam_NY
That is most ridiculous thing I’ve heard since someone said they won’t buy GT5 if the crowd noises are the same as in Prologue! Trust me if you buy a DFGT or G25 you will wonder how you ever lived without it.
September 12th, 2009 at 10:37 am
i said could. (i’d take a wheel any day).
September 12th, 2009 at 11:22 am
That’s the most ridiculous comment i’ve ever heard leave now Sam_NY
September 12th, 2009 at 11:33 am
@Sam_NY
Actually… if you ask me, this seems like very great idea. Like on GTA4, you can steer with Sixaxis, so why wouldn’t steer on GT5 too?
September 12th, 2009 at 11:48 am
Two or 3 month ago, i was exited by news!! (and event like E3, gamescom…). Now I want a release and thats all.
Now it’s 2009 Q4… we need more than news.
September 12th, 2009 at 11:54 am
ps: It was to Sony and PD, not jordan of course
September 12th, 2009 at 1:24 pm
I’m sorry if I’m bursting anybody’s bubble of happiness or excitement but…didn’t we already knew that GT5 was going to be on TGS before this list by Sony? KZ said it himself! So this isn’t exactly news in my opinion
Well, let’s just wait on details on GT5 now in TGS. I’m betting on a later demo of damage as well as WRC and Nascar footage. And the release date will be shown as well. <—I hope I'm right :P
September 12th, 2009 at 2:27 pm
THANKQ MUSTANGMIHA!! somebody gets it.
September 12th, 2009 at 2:38 pm
No, Nomino. I’m only saying that since I own only a ps3, NFS Shift seems like a decent quick fix for someone like me wanting a new racing game. Obviously it is not meant to be anything like a GT level simulation, but at least it is a new racing game with real cars. From all of the reviews I’ve read it is actually really fun to play, which counts for something in my estimation.
As far as losing money goes, I’m not sure what you mean. If I buy NFS full price then trade it in to gamestop, I’ll be paying less than full price for GT5 when it releases. That equals less money put out by me in order to play both games than if I simply kept NFS and paid full price for another game.
TGS can’t get here quick enough.
September 13th, 2009 at 7:03 am
@ Mustangmiha
Have you ever tried using Sixaxis on a racing game? it is completey unsuitable, it is only good for small sections on certain games, Gran Turismo has got to be the most inappropriate game to have Sixaxis control.
September 13th, 2009 at 7:18 am
I can’t relax if I’m using sixaxis, you have to like sit up straight and all that crap. Its only good for little kids. I wanna see rain and snow :D
September 13th, 2009 at 11:30 am
I hope they release the full tracklist.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
I want to see headtracking demoed if they have a new showing of gt5
September 16th, 2009 at 3:09 pm
yep. this “console war” will be over THE INSTANT this game is released. For GT5 Prologue please add me:
