Gran Turismo 5′s Q4 2009 Release Date Confirmed
For those of you out there who still aren’t convinced of Gran Turismo 5‘s pending 2009 release date, take a look at the game’s official brochure handed out at last week’s GamesCom convention. Snapped by RiseOfGames, the brochure was quickly translated by forum users – but you don’t have to be fluent in German to figure out what “4. Quartel 2009″ means. Via user G.T.Ace:
Developer: Polyphony – Platform: PS3
Genre: Racing – Number of players: T.B.A.Release: 4th Quarter of 2009
THE ULTIMATE RACING GAME RETURNS
(lots of stupid PR blah blah, really nothing important)
The player can choose between over
1000 cars to race on incredible detailed racetracks and unlock PlayStation Trophies (blah).
The new NASCAR and WRC championships improve the
Gran Turismo experience. Players are challenged to fight their way up the online leaderboards against other racedrivers from all over the
world.

I hate to break it to everyone, but “Q4″ is referring to the 4th quarter of Sony’s 2009 fiscal year, which actually ends in March 2010. In other words, the game will most likely be released in March 2010. So much for a joyous holiday season this year. :(

I’v never played GT before after having nightmares of rubbery car collisions back in the PS2 demo days. And I really hoped that NFS Shift would put me off any news about GT5, but what a diappointment Shift was. So much hype for nothing. Now GT5 is my only chance of a good racing game, I hope it is AMAZING now.

1000 cars!! 980 of which I will probably never drive. That is certainly worth having a carrot dangled in front of me for the past year and a half. Remember GT4? First release date was December of some year and then we endured another 15 months of apologetic delays before we actually got the game. Yes, it is the best racing sim but, I’m so annoyed it’s hard to get excited about this rumored release. I’ll believe it when it is actually in the store!

I personally think that this will be a worldwide release, meaning that it will be officially released everywhere at the same time. It’s never been done before with a GT game, but with this much loong awaited hype I think PD will go the extra mile.
How they are releasing GT mobile before GT5 is a good move…ok not for us who have been waiting, but for PD and Sony. Not only does this increase their market (also, introducing the game to young people), but almost every person who will get GT mobile will get GT5.
Why? Ignoring the obvious, the PS3 slim has to be bundled with GT5. Sony would be bonkers if they didn’t. With this, Sony can actually win the “console race” for a while to come. Not to mention the other PS3 exclusives.
To be honest, I really hope that this game will not be released on PC (or xb360, god no). Even though I have a good pc gaming rig that surpasses PS3′s graphics by a long shot, I just don’t want it to happen…

@Bob
There have been many false dates published from websites, from sources “unknown”. Its just a marketing scheme by the sites to drive more traffic into them…thats all.

If it is a Q4 2009 release date why does the EB Games (US) website have the shipping date as 2/2/2010?

The recent re-emergence of GT5 info online has got me into the mood for some prologue action with my G25 steering wheel which I’ve now go the hang of… Can’t wait for this now!!!

Lets hope they sort the sound out for the full game. Ferrari challenge may not be up to GT5 standards in terms of graphics and content, but System 3 certainly nailed, with the exception of the tyre screech, the SFX…nice engine sounds, backfiring and something I’d like to hear in GT5 (particularly in the race cars) is squeeling brakes. Also the sound of gears changing in a racing car isn’t a smooth shift in engine pitch, it’s a violent affair which sounds like the gearbox itself is about to explode!!

The american fiscal year may end in Sept, but the Japanese fiscal year ends in March, fyi john. But, as I thought people would get, it was supposed to be a joke. Unbunch those panties folks.
