No “Indy Cars” for Gran Turismo 5

no comment … arghhhhhhhhhhhh …….

Well, that bites. I was hoping to see Indy in GT5. Woulda been cool. Ah well, just goes to show… you can’t jump to conclusions. Let’s cross our fingers that night racing and weather are still there.

Probably just a few F1’s like in gt4. I’m not gonna complain.

I am curious to know how this error was made. It’s not a huge deal to me, but interesting nonetheless.

Wow. Very shocking stuff. I’m not going to go on some kind of tirade or something or boycott PD for falsely getting our hopes up. But you have to admit (and I even blogged about the possibilities of Indy Cars in GT5), it would be cool to see these cars be featured.

On a different scale, I noticed “Indy Cars.” No, read again- Indy Cars in quotes. I’m okay even if we get a bunch of generic paint scheme Indy cars. I’ll be sure to follow this story closer in the coming months.

Well not that i care. GT isn`t the game where i want to drive indy or formula cars. Those racing cars have their own games with more realistic setup options, pit stops and malfunction system.
GT (for me) is driving and tuning street cars. But of course very disappointing for the people who were looking forward to the Indy series.
I surely hope the other announcements are correct.

Are we supposed to be disappointed? A race series is not being included in a game that we cannot even play yet! And have no idea when we might ever get to play it. This sounds more and more like Sony/PD dampening our expectations due to serious problems with GT5. I think this is unfortunately going to end up being a PS4 launch title. Kaz will not accept mediocraty and if he can’t produce the game he wants (with all the features we have been demanding) he would rather hold it back or not make it at all on the current console. Hope I’m wrong!

Couldn’t care less to be honest. I prefer F1

And with NASCAR and WRC and 1000 Exotic & Standard cars why get too greedy?

It’s far from a big deal

5+ years lol

But to be honest last 2 years i just couldn’t care and am too patient now

Wife and a house keeps me busy.. But still enjoy checking back and seeing what sooky babies write lol. All for a good ol’ laugh.

I`m begining to aproach the line where I dont even care anymore..I`m wondering for how long I`ll bother searching for news..or even make comments. Well well

Dont blame PD, they didnt make the mistake, the magazine did… They saw an indy track so they assumed that indy cars would be in the game

This is horrible. Considering I’m from Indianapolis, this was huge for me, I told a few friends about it, and those who didn’t even like GT were pumped for it. WTF AM I GOING TO DO NOW!? >=[ I want to kick OPSM in the face.

This AND a rumored Fall release!? GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

LOL gawd more negative news….only worse than negative news is no news from PD and we’ve been getting plenty of those. I hate the fact that SONY/PD are so secretive about this damn game. You’d think they would reveal some official tidbids on the game considering it’s coming out in a few months, yet still NOTHING! What’s the record for longest development cycle in a game? I’m sure GT5 is creeping very close to it.

Guess sony couldn’t come to terms with the IRL??????

I shall not whine…I will get 1000 cars…This is just a minor setback…I shall not whine…I JUST WANT THE GAME OUT NOW!!! IT’S ALREADY FINISHED AND POLISHED SONY, WHY NOT RELEASING IT? AFRAID OF NOT SELLING IT??? If you can manage to make “Greatest Hits” out of a darned demo GT5 is sure to be a sales monster release it whenever you release it.

Really, all we need is one F1 racer with different paint schemes to fulfill our Indy/F1 appetite

who cares? I want the game the last year!

lmao its just thursday and i think pd/sony has epicly failed with … whats next ??? pd is going to say this” since we r not happy with how the game came out we r going to start over fresh and u guys might get to play the game sonetime before the ps4 comes out” this is going to be said at e3 then where alll going to go on some rampage and give up on gt5 the game that was SUPPOSE TO BE A LAUNCHE TITLE or gt5 THAT WILL BE OUT 4THQT 2009

Is there any possibility that PD thought IRL was going to be in and then some licensing deal fell through and they had to remove them, similar to the Lambo that got taken out of the EU release at the last minute in a previous GT? This could be considered a production delay?

So, if they never had Indy cars planned, is that a picture of a real life IRL car or is it a computer-generated model? (too hard to tell from the pic) If someone could answer that, it makes the story a bit more interesting.

Man maybe licensing problems???And THIS is a reason for delay???

Why the hell are we keep getting crappy GT5 news lately? This is a really bad situation for PD. I hope who ever wrote the magazine got fired.

why too much favour to USA? had enough for Crapcar.thank god they not put it..i would prefer 70’s F1 cars

sorry its late

What?

No INDY???

Well … I even don’t know what indy cars are so actually … I don’t give a F!

No IRL!!

Good, American motor racing series are terrible at best!! It’s bad enough that PD put NASCAR in, we don’t want anymore American shite!!

Don´t really care for IRL, or any other US “race” series where for that matter. However would prefer Indy to oval racing crappy Nascar any day. Most disturbingly though are the endless postponements from PD/Sony. I own all the previous games in the series but I´ve just about had it with all the delays. Their project managers must be totally useless!

Im getting bored of this game now. Its like a cheesy pantomime. “IRL is behind you!”…”Oh no it isnt”.

The way I see GT5 is that its the best racing game ever made. It does everything I want it to do, cause the game is entirely in my head. Its perfect, I dont even need a playstation to play this game!

Shame that one day in the far future it will be ruined by the release of the actual game

I’d be suprised if OPM made this kind of mistake, they will have been given a list of approved features to announce by PD and printed them.

Specifying an entire racing series will be in GT5 is far too significant to be a mistake.

This will be some licensing issue between IRL & PD that hasnt been resolved before GT5 goes ‘gold’ / ready for production..

Very sucky indeed.

You watch, WRC will go next..

They needed more room on the disc for all those Skyline variants. Indy had to go! :)

Why do people always want to have it all at once ? Maybe, they hold’em back for GT6
Some will never be satisfied, tsk tsk

OOO YEEES i was hoping for more Bad News ..
Yes yes yes Thank you Sony and PD THANK YOU

i’ve lost my trust to Sony and PD. Next time i see some good news for GT5, i won’t believe them. A month later they just announce that it was a mistake.

@Daverytimes

“Really, look at it this way, they might just be planing to surprise the fans when the official game comes out…”

But thats the problem, the game doesnt come out.

not really fussed, the news of the inclusion in the first place didnt really interest me

I dont care about indycar but its sad to get a confirmation again that not any piece of news concerning GT can be trusted till the game hits the shops.

Well, I gave up on this, cancelled my pre order and bought an XBox and Forza 3.. seriously I have..since I have a fanatec wheel it was an option, It’s not GT5 but then what is??

So I’ll leave this fiasco until the suits finally decide to ship it.. Who knows Forza4 may come sooner, or Rfactor 2 or any other number of Games which attract my cash ( interesting had gt5 shipped sooner I’d have bought another ps3 as well to give me 2 of them!!!)

So

Stop deluding yourselves.. send a message and cancel your pre order..

It just might make the suits think.

Its not really a huge loss

@ mk1992 you missed a bit.

IRL is just Ugly F1 for people who can´t do right hand corners.

Downloadable Content.. :P

Come On – It’s SONY we are talking about!! They are just like the Girls you can’t get, But likes your attention anyways.. Just friends M8.. Sony is on the road of romantic tales.. with in 1 year or so, PSN will cost Money, PS3 playing on-line Will cost Money, 2-5 years a game is just a box with the basics, and then all other interesting stuff for it, is for downloading as Extra Content (£$£$£) That is what we are facing for the Future Gamers..

Remember !! To tell about the ideas of a game isn’t wrong, but to let people think that it’s in the game and it isn’t is plain Wrong, and should be prosecute by the people..

Soon friends we need a lawyer.. If sony was under Danish Law, they would have been prosecuted long time ago, for false Marketing and several times :O) (this goes back to 2005 )( The game industry is all most as big as prostitution/sex industry – Easy Money :o)

I just need my own Bitch (GT5)

this is really turning into a joke….

Delayed and now this… bummer.

@ S3 Racer: I’m not hating on anything, I’m just stating the obvious, Gran Turismo 1 focused almost entirely on Japanese automakers and races, GT2 expanded to other areas and so forth they have expanded even more, But not enough with American focused races so far, I welcome to expanding more into American style races.

@ J.P.

Ummmmm are you even from America? or even seen any American races or read about racing in general AT ALL? How ignorant can you be? so rank in Amateur? did you go to school? that does not make sense at all. America has one of the toughest safety standards in ALL of racing! all our race tracks are outfitted with safety barriers that absorb impact better and we all use the HANS device in almost all racing leagues, hence why those 2 very important advances in auto racing came from…you guessed it AMERICA. I can pretty much say that America is more race orientated than any other place on the planet, but all the other people in Europe and Japan get so self-absorbed into only 1 or 2 racing organizations that they become oblivious to anything around them or take the time to become real auto enthusiasts and enjoy other types of racing entertainment.

Oh before all you Supreme Citizens of Socialist Europe come barging in and talking me down because I’m all for America and their racing organizations you can all suck on it. I don’t talk down on other racing leagues becuase I have a open mind and do enjoy F1/WRC/Semi-Truck Racing when it’s available on TeeVee (YouTube doesn’t cut it mmmkay?), I love DTM, BTCC, Supercars V8 etc. etc. and pretty sure in all your own native European motherlands your neighbors secretly admire NASCAR/IRL since they is nothing else like it anywhere else on earth except America and it is a HUGE moneymaker, while you yungins fap fap (*wink wink*) over WRC/F1 as the only racing available and nothing else can top them.

This is bad news again. Long Beach and other great tracks would have been nice, as well as modern monoposti cars, not to mention the whole IRL series as a brand, inside GT5.

Even with full weather, I’m having my doubts. I don’t think it will be “rain” as most of us have hoped for.

Well that’s not so big thing… We just want the game…

@ Drug

I would love to have the Long Beach track too, especially now that there will be no more race there :(

So i highly doubt it… I dont think i ever heard of them (PD) going to Long Beach to get the location data… so i am not sure how they would include it in the game without the measurements and track info…

Sure you guys don’t care for IRL cars not being included, but what else will be left out? I don’t even know what to expect anymore. I don’t even know if I should be excited for the inclusion of weather ’causeThat might even be left out…who knows what to believe anymore.

I would be willing to guess that PSM had it wrong the whole time. The probably saw the F1 car and thought it was an IRL car. I could be very wrong because I didn’t read the article in question and don’t know if they were quoting PD or just assuming. I’m pretty sure GT5 will still have at least one F1 car which is fine with me. I’m more into the tuning street cars like somebody said and if I want to get ridiculous I’ll just go race one of the JGTC or DTM cars. Plus the Le Mans prototype’s, which I don’t really care for are pretty dang quick

@Mickle Pickle

The Long Beach race is still happening, http://www.gplb.com/ April 16-18 2010. It no longer is Champ Car which went bankrupt last year and bought by IRL, but IRL is fully committed to going there as it’s one of the Crown Jewels of racing in the USA. I wish they would include Long Beach as it’s my local track and I’ve gone several times to see the races.

Tony George may want too much money for the IRL cars, but it’s his loss if that’s the case. If more people see them in the game more people may watch the races. IRL isn’t watched much and only a couple of races (Long Beach not one of them) that’s are on the local channels. The rest are on the cable channel VS. which I understand isn’t on may cable operator’s lineup.

I for one would rather see more tracks than more cars. The PSP version has 35 tracks but GT5 from what I’ve read only has around 20.

@Alex….You are right. F1 was never the same after Aryton Senna died IMO. Aryton Senna, Nelson Piquet, Nigell Mansell, and Alain post in the 80’s. Now, Those were the real good days of the F1 series.

@juggaKnot, what do you mean “left out”.
Indy cars was never in lol, but we know for sure that dynaic weather and damage has/is in the game.

Well, it’s sad for the people who wanted those indycars.
But i hope nascar is still in ( close racing ).

BTW; i checked all the release dates from the big ” Gran Turismo ” games.
It seems that “april & may” are the most common release dates.

So let’s hope.

Mickle Pickle,

“In a unanimous vote, the Long Beach City Council renewed the city’s contract with the GPALB, guaranteeing that the race will be staged on the city’s streets through 2015. An additional five-year option could extend the agreement through the year 2020.”

http://sports.espn.go.com/rpm/racing/indycar/columns/story?columnist=oreovicz_john&id=3349425

In other words, IndyCar will continue racing at Long Beach for the next 10 years.

Works for me. The IRL is a blight on racing history. I’d rather have Atlantics[1] in GT5. Or GP2 cars, or the like. Or IndyCars from a time before the IRL laid claim to the name. Anyway, whatever there’ll be tons of different kinds of cars to choose from.

[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_Championship

@Mickle – You must be talking about the CART series as last year was the first year the IRL series raced at Long Beach after CART was taken over by the IRL. I enjoyed CART alot better than the IRL series. Anyways, I even remember going to the last F1 race that was held at Long Beach in the early 1980’s when I was a kid. That was my first live race that I went to. BTW, Long Beach is my hometown track as I grew up about 20 miles away from where the race is held. These days, I fly out every 2 to 3 years to attend the race from Boston, Ma as that is where I live these days and this is one of those years that I will be flying out there which will make it my 12th time where I went to the LBGP.

Indy Cars – Don’t care.
Fluctuating release date – Don’t care.
The fact that I own Forza 3 and find it a hell of a lot better than any Gran Turismo thus far? – Don’t care.

Gran Turismo 5 is still going to be the definitive driving simulator, no matter when it releases or however many racing leagues are in or out. End. Of. Story.

the game is Delayed again and still in DEVELOPMENT and they are taking things OUT of the game… isn’t it spouse to be the other way around???

Please put at least one Indy car in the game.

Perhaps, iracing.com wanted more $ than PD wanted to pay for IRL licensing.

wowwww the delay and now this. something must of went wrong while developing Gt5 i think PD got into some deep shit!

“While this obviously hurts our confidence in everything else they “announced” (most notably the confirmation of “weather” and “night racing on all tracks”), we can at least be thankful neither of those two important features were mentioned in this “Gran Update”.”

Retractions work when the information published was inaccurate. If anything, the rest of the information published were fact checked & was accurate at the time of publication.
