Gran Turismo 5 Front & Center in Sony’s TGS Booth
September 23rd, 2009 by Jordan
Just as Mercedes-Benz told us, their new SLS AMG is on hand to represent GT5 at the Tokyo Game Show. 1UP.com offers this sneak peek at the show floor, and it looks like our favorite racing game is taking center stage at Sony’s massive booth. It’s hard to see much else behind the big display, but it’s a safe bet there’s a few PS3’s loaded up with a fresh new demo of the game hiding back there.
I’d also like to remind you about the updated press conference time – as it turns out, the 10:30 AM (Tokyo time) is when Sony Computer Entertainment’s CEO Kaz Hirai gives his keynote address, and GT5 news from that is unlikely. Sony’s full press conference won’t begin until a few hours later (1:30 PM Tokyo time), when there is a much better chance of Kazunori Yamauchi taking the stage. I’ve updated my original post accordingly, so please take a second look at it to calculate the new time of the presentation in your local area.

Cruiz, as I explained in the post, the new time is for Sony’s Press Conference. You don’t have to take my word for it, though – here’s a post on G4TV which also clears things up.

All will become clear in a couple hours time. No more cryptic messages and second-hand guesses. Just cold hard facts.

The first website I’m gonna log onto when I get home from work is GTPlanet at 3:30 so I expect you to have all necessary information front and center for me and only me, Jordan.
September 23rd, 2009 at 4:48 pm
That place looks like nerd heaven!
September 23rd, 2009 at 4:50 pm
Hey Jordan, I have a little question: Will you do a live-blog on Harai’s speech too?
September 23rd, 2009 at 4:52 pm
Yes, Alex, I will be covering both events – just in case. ;)
September 23rd, 2009 at 4:53 pm
@ Jordan
Sorry, I did not mean to sound as if I found your information to be incorrect.
It is just that this is the first I have heard of the change; I merely wanted to know where the info came from.
Thanks however :)
This means I can go to sleep for a while lol
September 23rd, 2009 at 4:55 pm
@ Jordan, Your time for New York is right, but the date is wrong. Should be the 24th.
Dont want to confuse the minions.
September 23rd, 2009 at 4:58 pm
Thanks, Schmo – it’s fixed. :)
September 23rd, 2009 at 5:03 pm
Thx Jordan, nice!
September 23rd, 2009 at 5:06 pm
This is even better than before, now I can stand up normally and be ready for news to hear. Thx Jordan =D
September 23rd, 2009 at 5:21 pm
I love you, Jordan. :)
September 23rd, 2009 at 5:44 pm

September 23rd, 2009 at 5:55 pm
sounds good to me. :)
September 23rd, 2009 at 5:55 pm
I have diet coke and popcorn. Bring it on, PD.
September 23rd, 2009 at 6:02 pm
Hey, Jordan… guess what you forgot to change the Wednesday to Thursday for the NY time. The 24th is a Thursday…
September 23rd, 2009 at 6:05 pm
Finally GT5 is almost here. i think we should celebrate its fifth coming by a Millenium type count down lol.
September 23rd, 2009 at 6:10 pm
So I have heard alot of places say gt5 is coming out dec.29???
Is this true or false??
(even though I know it hasn’t been officially announced yet)
September 23rd, 2009 at 6:16 pm
1up should have filmed the GT5 booth.
September 23rd, 2009 at 6:20 pm
My money’s on Dec. 1st for release. It’s a Tuesday (the release day for boxed games), it allows plenty of shopping days before Christmas, follows the frenzy of USA Thanksgiving buying season and allows plenty of time to get the marketing hype in place and everybody all wound up to put a PS3 Slim and GT5 under the Christmas tree.
So December 1st it is! Watch and see.
September 23rd, 2009 at 6:33 pm
wow wa wee wa! its here its really here, this forums going to explode within the next 24hours :D
September 23rd, 2009 at 7:01 pm
Finally, TGS is here! I can’t wait to see some new gameplay. Hopefully they will provide more cars and tracks in the demo.
September 23rd, 2009 at 7:04 pm

September 23rd, 2009 at 7:09 pm

September 23rd, 2009 at 7:16 pm

September 23rd, 2009 at 8:17 pm
Can’t wait I played the life out of gt4 and now this, bring it on PD.
September 23rd, 2009 at 9:09 pm
I don’t even have a PS3 yet. I always tell my friends “when GT5 comes out”. Looks like it’s almost time to pay the piper.
September 23rd, 2009 at 9:58 pm
