You Will Like Gran Turismo 5’s Release Date
August 2nd, 2009 by Jordan
Don’t tell anyone, but GTPlanet has learned the tentative release date for Gran Turismo 5 through an unofficial but extremely reliable source. Since the date has not been officially published and Sony could still change it at their leisure, we will not be saying anything specific to keep from eating an unhealthy dose of crow. What we can say, however, is that a 2009 release is almost certain, and the much-publicized Amazon.com date of December 29, 2009 is incorrect. As it stands at the moment, it is likely the official date will be announced at GamesCom Cologne during Sony’s August 18th press conference. Stay tuned for more information, and remember: he’s making a list and checking it twice…

August 2nd, 2009 at 11:03 am
Nice picture. =)
August 2nd, 2009 at 11:06 am
I just peed my pants a little.
August 2nd, 2009 at 11:10 am
Life seems so much brighter despite only receiving a minuscule piece of information. There is hope, I knew it!! Who needs Coca Cola anyways?? St. Nicholas ought to keep his eye on that list and not the fizzy beverages. Thanks for the update Jordan, kudos and cheers.
August 2nd, 2009 at 11:12 am
Im going to guess the 11th…..
August 2nd, 2009 at 11:14 am
It’s time to go on an extreme budget I guess.
August 2nd, 2009 at 11:15 am
santa i been good all year……. 18th of this month press conference…… hey jordan we want info as soon as the sony conference is over…. hoping for a release date…. i would take a trailer in october. :)
August 2nd, 2009 at 11:18 am
Don’t worry, caribbeantopdriver, I will keep the site updated-to-the-minute while watching for news out of the conference.
August 2nd, 2009 at 11:26 am
About bloody time
August 2nd, 2009 at 11:28 am
The suspense is death defying!
August 2nd, 2009 at 11:31 am
december 2nd PLEASE, it’s my birthday
August 2nd, 2009 at 11:33 am
I knew it.
August 2nd, 2009 at 11:36 am
Good news. Only a few more months of playing the same 5 tracks in GT5:P. I wonder what other information will be released at that gaming convention? Car Damage? Tracks? Cars? The official Playstation website says it will be the most comprehensive racing simulation ever. To me that means there will be car damage, day/night transition, weather, and smart AI that doesn’t run on rails, LOL. I can’t wait 16 more days though!!! I want to know now!
August 2nd, 2009 at 11:39 am
It’s killing me – ARGH! I’m assuming that after the 18th with the release date revealed and all, we’ll get some gameplay videos at TGS – in which we would be able to tell what’s available.
August 2nd, 2009 at 11:54 am
Launch title for PS3 Slim for sure. 8)
August 2nd, 2009 at 11:54 am
Here in Holland we see Santa in the Coca Cola commercial in a big Truck..we dont want that..we wanna see Santa in a Nissan Skyline this year :D
August 2nd, 2009 at 11:58 am
Yo Jordan, is it confirmed to be a simultaneous world-wide release?
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:00 pm
It would have to be a world wide release, cant see them favouring one region over another
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:05 pm
Just making sure…
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:05 pm
Great. So now I gotta be nice for the rest of the year?
Great head’s up. I just hope your source isn’t pulling our collective legs.
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:08 pm
Dream…..this year only GTPSP.GT5 2010 100%:(
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:32 pm
My birthday is Nov. 29. It would be cool if it comes out BEFORE my birthday :p Thanks Jordan for ‘confirming’ that this will be gaming’s Year of the Racer!
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:43 pm
Jordan, please… my heart can’t take it… i’ve become used to accepting that Prologue is all ill ever play of GT5 for the past(since launch of my ps3 60gb)…
If you’re wrong…… i swear im going to destroy you and your website with the power of my mind alone. ;)
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:56 pm
Nice, nice, and nice.
Assuming it’s 110% true – Hell Yes.
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:15 pm
THANKYOU JORDAN!!!!!!!! Its really made my day. Can you reveal the source?
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:24 pm
Hi all i would goto Gamesstation and ask for there new release list. if you look on it its been change from 2010 to You ready for thsi 24th Sep
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:24 pm
I wish it can be released in 2010. Why? Because K.Y. said that they can release GT5 anytime they want so it would be good to work on the smallest details and stuff than is needed.
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:25 pm
Please tell us the date you think it is. You wont be eatin crow if its wrong, your source will.
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:28 pm
“we will not be saying anything specific to keep from eating an unhealthy dose of crow.”
lol because you know nothing…
I’ll tell you, it’s December 11… Note this comment and remember my message for the next Sony’s conference
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:32 pm
OMFG, u’re being soooo cruel – “GTPlanet has learned the tentative release date for Gran Turismo 5″ and then “we will not be saying anything specific”.
COOOME OOOOOON, u’re killin us 2and-a-bit weeks left…
Made my day though….
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:36 pm
It will probably released close to christmas bundled with the g27 =D
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:36 pm
Although this is very positive, everyone don’t get your hopes up too high just yet. just relax and see how it goes.
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:44 pm
final nail in the coffin of CRAP BOX 3FIX ME ala CRAP BOX RROD PLEASE FIX ME
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:44 pm
@lol
I suppose you work for Sony then?
And just because I’m intentionally trying to be a prick; you might want to check your grammar usage there.
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:48 pm
Gamescom: Release date
TGS: demo?
Christmas: GT5?
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:48 pm
alleluia!!
Waiting for gamescom
August 2nd, 2009 at 2:07 pm
lotta cool games comin up later this year, uncharted, GT5….gonna have to do thumb-ups to strengthen up & get ready for the onslaught :)
August 2nd, 2009 at 2:20 pm
DEMO??? HELLO…we’ve been playing the demo since Dec. 2007, aka GT5P. My question is, when is it time to break out GT4 & GT3 to brush up on other tracks? Don’t want to be caught with your pants down!
August 2nd, 2009 at 2:24 pm
About time! I kinda expected a release around Dec. Any sooner would be a bonus. I already told my fam. that when it DOES come out, bills, work, all go out the window and the big screen IS MINE!!!! I want to drive the NORDSCHLIFFE AGAIN!!!!
August 2nd, 2009 at 2:31 pm
hell yea, gonna be awesome!
August 2nd, 2009 at 2:34 pm
I’d like to drive the NASCAR COT on Silverstorne when GT5 comes out. If that did happen, I’d be as giddy as Britney Spears during a “fake singing” convention.
August 2nd, 2009 at 2:36 pm
Here’s hoping its somewhere between september and october to coincide with need for speed shit ( lame ) and Forza 3 ( evil ).
or am i dreaming!!
c’mon PD its been 4 years……give me hope….please
August 2nd, 2009 at 2:39 pm
I think its 25/09/2009 54 days from now.
this is the release date this article is most likely talking about but i dont believe this date, i mean will Sony really release a title such as GT5 without a massive announcement and give it some time to build up preorders. I mean it will be pretty stupid but im still getting it.
August 2nd, 2009 at 2:49 pm
I’ve got a question that isn’t relevant to the release date but to gt5.
Will all cars feature and show damage?
The suspence is killing me!
August 2nd, 2009 at 2:51 pm
wake up notorious, gt5 cant be released before gt mobile and during TGS. As Jordan picked a christmas picture december is definitely the month of happiness
August 2nd, 2009 at 2:57 pm
YES YES YES
August 2nd, 2009 at 2:59 pm
Like many others I think I did feel a bit of wee touch my keks….
August 2nd, 2009 at 3:01 pm
hardvibes, thanks for the wake up call and i would laugh if it really does come out on that date.
August 2nd, 2009 at 3:03 pm
December 1st!!! Remember this.
August 2nd, 2009 at 3:11 pm
I’m going to guess December 22 :)
August 2nd, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Yes “POOP, December 1st is what I’m guessing. When I went to my local EBGames/ Gamestop, they said December the 1st was when they would get their shipment. It would also give GT or PD. time to market the product efficiently while raising awareness towards this epic game. 1 month ought to do it, so Dec is likely.
August 2nd, 2009 at 3:15 pm
Thats great, soo now all we need is a reliable source thats close to gtplanet to give us the release date lol. I wonder if they got there info from that Amar guy? Anyway Hopefully its soon and all Polyphony Digital efforts and Work pay off.
August 2nd, 2009 at 3:19 pm
You made my day!
August 2nd, 2009 at 3:19 pm
LOL, i wasn’t joking. Yesterday i checked and the site had a TBA but now it has 25 september, i not just guessing and this date can change but im certain that its a better date than guessing.
August 2nd, 2009 at 3:29 pm
GTPlanet should do a raffle of what date in december is right and give away a premium membership to who gives the right date lol
August 2nd, 2009 at 3:46 pm
Amazon was dead wrong about GT5P coming out and they are dead wrong about GT5.
August 2nd, 2009 at 4:05 pm
Oh my bloody god! I just discovered this post as i was watching the last show of top gear in the new series! so exciting!
August 2nd, 2009 at 4:09 pm
^^Sad ending to top gear :( ^^
August 2nd, 2009 at 4:12 pm
@Jack_uk
It sure was
August 2nd, 2009 at 4:13 pm
I wonder if they will release it sooner then December perhaps October? Would be a great surprise. But if it comes out this year then there is nothing to complain about for me. It maid my day I’m happy. With these kind of news even though it’s not official. But Cheers :)
August 2nd, 2009 at 4:17 pm
They are waiting for Forza 3 to be released so they can make adjustment just like T10 did with GT4 on their Forza :). PD got sucker punched by T10 back in 2004 now PD need a knock out punch this next gen. :lol:
August 2nd, 2009 at 4:23 pm
ralph89 Actually that makes sense what you are saying.
August 2nd, 2009 at 4:27 pm
@RALPH
GT5 will outsell FLOPZA 3 based on just 1st day japan sales
GT5 will do 15 m copies lifetime this gen
FLOPZA 3 wont even reach 2m lifetime . ofcourse when PS3 SLIM launches MS will quit console war
there is just no comp between F3 and GT5
GT5 has 700 cars
F3 has 400 cars mostly being DEFECTIVE AND CRAP american cars
GT5 runs at 1080p
F3 runs at 720p
GT5 has 16 cars per track
F3 has 8 cars per track
GT5 has weather and night racing
F3 has RROD only
GT5 has 95 REAL TRACKS +NASCAR and WRC tracks
F3 has 50 REAL TRACKS only
GT5 will outsell all XCRAP 3FIX ME games lifetime
GT5 is the biggest franchise in EUROPE –a place where PS3 will sell 60m-100m lifetime. PS2 sold 65m units in europe
August 2nd, 2009 at 4:31 pm
@RALPH
are u abnormal???
Forza 2 sold 2m copies lifetime on Xbox (a flop console)
GT4 sold 12m copies
GT5 will sell between 15m-20m copies lifetime
F3 would reach 4m lifetime if MS gives it away for free with every X360
dont compare a crap unknown and flop franchise like FLOPZA 3 with GT5
also WASIM
thanks for posting the facts..what an embarrassment for F3 — a racing game in 2 discs in the era of BLU RAY
August 2nd, 2009 at 4:32 pm
@Wasim
Yo not all American cars are crap, that’s a highly subjective opinion. And you can’t compare the two games that aren’t released yet, but if going by history, I’d say GT5 would win in this gen.
August 2nd, 2009 at 4:34 pm
@walsall @Jack_UK Over here in the US, BBC America still has not started Series 13 :( Those who are savvy know they to use the internet.
August 2nd, 2009 at 4:46 pm
^^ unlucky its been A good series. Don’t worry I won’t give anything away ^^
August 2nd, 2009 at 4:46 pm
@ Wasim and Morshed
You’re both ridiculously stupid, perhaps you should date one another.
August 2nd, 2009 at 5:00 pm
I think we should take notice of the main headline “You Will Like Gran Turismo 5’s Release Date” It must mean its very near
August 2nd, 2009 at 5:02 pm
@Jack_UK I’ve seen them all and will be watching 7 soon ;) No real biggie for me, I know where to find them. We still don’t have BBC America HD anyway. The PS3 does a nice job of upscaling
I wonder when Sony plans on announcing the Slim PS3…
August 2nd, 2009 at 5:05 pm
29 dec is my birthday
August 2nd, 2009 at 5:20 pm
December 1st for sure ( maybe with ps3slim.. but i dont’ give a fuck about ps3slim)
August 2nd, 2009 at 5:28 pm
Awesome tidbit, looking forward to 18th.
Shame that all other releases have had much more info prior to a pre-xmas release…
PD aren’t animals of change either…
I’m taking this tidbit with the tiniest pinch of salt as any other rumour.
August 2nd, 2009 at 5:51 pm
It may be a Christmas picture but that doesn’t mean anything… it could be like the evil B-Spec Bob and be a trick. Which would be good because we could get it earlier.
August 2nd, 2009 at 6:26 pm
The date is 11 december :)
August 2nd, 2009 at 6:27 pm
Okay people, just calm down, released 1st December or 32nd January, we must wait really, really long. If someone doesn’t know how to speed up your days, play some older GT or like me, I’m right now playing Enthusia, very smilliar to Gran Turismo. And I’m cold. Until December.
August 2nd, 2009 at 6:39 pm
wasim
GT5 will have 800 cars like the psp version.
August 2nd, 2009 at 6:59 pm
December 11th is the (tentative) release date.
August 2nd, 2009 at 7:01 pm
I just hope this source is correct, because i’m desperate for a release date for gt5!
August 2nd, 2009 at 7:05 pm
Jordan, what WAS that “highly reliable” source?
That Amar guy? Someone on the inside of Sony or PD?
August 2nd, 2009 at 7:18 pm
Well, he stated an “unofficial” source, so it’s probably nobody affiliated with Sony or PD.
August 2nd, 2009 at 7:19 pm
I’m sorry, Dracwolley, but I cannot reveal who provided the information at this time.
August 2nd, 2009 at 7:49 pm
I can’t wait. And Jordan, do you know who the person using the nickname of “lol” is?
Is he some source or just some normal person making a good guess?
August 2nd, 2009 at 7:52 pm
I’ll support that note to Santa, where do i Sign… well-well at least there is some other titles to freak about in September, and a couple of months forward.. DirT2 does shake my Mind a bit, But damn, The rally section for GT5 is by far the best ( hopefully)
Dream Extreme
Flagmo-T
August 2nd, 2009 at 8:04 pm
I can confirm from a European source that the date is Dec 11th. I’m not saying who it was incase they dont tell me anymore info. Stop denying it and just admit. DEC 11th EVERONE!!!!!!!! Oh also MAG is looking to join the slew of Mar 2010 delayed games. You heard it from me.
August 2nd, 2009 at 8:27 pm
I am also predicting a December ‘09 release date…look at the past games’ release dates (Japan Release Date):
GT1 – December 23, 1997
GT2 – December 11, 1999
GT3 – April 28, 2001 <—only exception :p
GT4p – December 4, 2003
GT4 – December 28, 2004
GTHD – December 24, 2006
GT5p – December 13, 2007
August 2nd, 2009 at 9:02 pm
Enough speculations!why can´t they just tell us the release date now?
August 2nd, 2009 at 9:03 pm
AMERICA! **** YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!! Such fantastic news…..
August 2nd, 2009 at 9:37 pm
Thanks Annonymous.
I can’t wait for it
August 2nd, 2009 at 9:45 pm
Made my day!
August 2nd, 2009 at 9:46 pm
@jack_uk @walsall (sp?) Top Gear Series Finale: Sad indeed. BRING ON GT5!
August 2nd, 2009 at 10:03 pm
I can’t believe it…
I was sure that GamesCON wouldn’t be the place to reveal GT5 news, but I guess SONY are finally wising up after the huge net riot over GT Mobile taking center stage, and FW3 being hyped all out of stupidity by Wicrosoft.
It’s about time SONY fired its biggest bullet across a certain big mouth monopoly’s empire.
And yes, I noticed it too… Amar has been conspicuously quiet lately…
August 2nd, 2009 at 10:12 pm
November
August 2nd, 2009 at 10:41 pm
But whenever it’s released (I bet in time for 14 days shopping before Christmas), will GT5 let me take the V8 out of a Mustang and shoehorn it into an Elise?
August 2nd, 2009 at 10:47 pm
No, if there are engine swaps it won’t be cross-brand due to license issues. You might however be able to put the V8 from a mustang and put it into a Fusion.
August 3rd, 2009 at 12:05 am
WOw, can’t wait for it, now T10 will pay for what they said about PD. GO Gran Turismo 5 the Ultimate simulator!
August 3rd, 2009 at 12:12 am
Oh my, oh my almost fell of my chair reading this. :)
August 3rd, 2009 at 12:27 am
Holy Cheez and Crackers!, thats something i Did’nt Expect.
Now Lets pray for a 2009 Worldwide Release. OMG OMG OMG…cant wait, I’ve been waiting sine 2006….. :drools:….
August 3rd, 2009 at 12:55 am
Let’s all hope, indeed.
2009 or bust. Haha.
August 3rd, 2009 at 2:43 am
@ gtone339
What did Turn10 say about PD?
August 3rd, 2009 at 3:25 am
I’ll believe it when I see it, however this sounds kind of promising…
August 3rd, 2009 at 3:28 am
By the way, the number of comments shows the amount of built-up expectation. I hope that’s yet another clear signal for PD that we REALLY want that f#$@ing game!
August 3rd, 2009 at 3:35 am
so I guess as this isn’t an official release date, the thread should be locked and the author publicly humiliated in the sticky thread?
August 3rd, 2009 at 4:33 am
@marf
exactly my thoughts. Personally I find it hard to believe that Jordan has an exact date, because if he did he would release it for the huge traffic it would bring, as long as he stated it was unnofficial he would be fine. It’s easy to make up this news if they never actually give details before the official release date is announced.
It’s like me saying, I know who us going to win the lottery, I’ll tell you the numbers after the draw is done.
August 3rd, 2009 at 4:43 am
Not gonna happen. This game will just slip once again.
Slip, just like the PS3. What a complete fucking failure of a console LOL.
“GT5 SAVE US!” …. So you bought the PS3 waiting for one single game? Ridiculous.
August 3rd, 2009 at 5:17 am
Why on earth would PD release GT5 this year without making a hype about it first. Hyping a game by releasing screenshots and movies is a good way to boost sales. Considering that PD aint stupid (not so sure about this yet) they should be releasing GT5 media by now if they want to release it this year.
Yes, GT5 will be released at christmas, but not this year. More like Christmas 2010 maybe even 2011.
August 3rd, 2009 at 5:32 am
@GT4Ever
yes sure…. maybe they release it at 21 december 2012 and the world will end when you’ll put in your console. Come on..
August 3rd, 2009 at 5:46 am
I hardly cant be happy with unofficial news. I’m trying to manage my expectations… I can tell you, its a hard job…
August 3rd, 2009 at 5:52 am
Thanks jordan you have caused a lot of excitement!
August 3rd, 2009 at 6:02 am
@Irnbrutwintirbo
You don’t seem to realize the trouble he could get into, though. Information like this, they could probably sue him.
August 3rd, 2009 at 6:15 am
A Dutch site with the info of 11 December http://ps3clan.nl/2009/08/gran-turismo-5-voor-de-kerst/ (You can translate it:P)
My guesse is 29 December 2009.
I’m hoping for the offical release date from Sony or Polyphony Digital.
August 3rd, 2009 at 6:23 am
yeh they could either sue him, or refuse to give any future info to him. either way i think by mid august we should have a clearer idea of the kind of time frame.
August 3rd, 2009 at 6:44 am
come on, this year please….
August 3rd, 2009 at 7:00 am
OMG OMG OMG OMG,
Iam gonna be honest, i have been checking this website every single day for the past 1 year.
looking for a GT5 release date and this has to be the closest it has come. i cant wait for the 2 or so weeks for the announcement. i reckon mid december is very likely. its gonna ^%$^& on FM3 and all other racing games like NFS etc. until GAMECOM (18th of august) fingers crossed… it will come out soon. i have a feeling the release date will SHOCK! and surprise us all. and jordan.
August 3rd, 2009 at 7:01 am
@wateverman @n155an
seriously? Sue him for posting a unofficial release date? Good luck in court with that one.
Look, if the source is someone willing to reveal the suppose date then they ain’t someone at the top. That means more than a couple of people know the date and therefore the leak could not be sourced.
It’s more a case of the site not having the balls to go with this supposed date in case it’s not true. Which in my book is exactly the same as guessing.
August 3rd, 2009 at 7:02 am
P.S i forgot to mention i sharted my self when i read this article. :)
i know some of u peed HHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHA looks like the blood runs through us all.
August 3rd, 2009 at 7:04 am
A shop in ROME, sold me reservation for GRAN TURISMO 5, they mentioned 11, 28 as release date
August 3rd, 2009 at 7:10 am
……Dusting off my G25 :)
August 3rd, 2009 at 7:12 am
But I remember that KY said that GT5 will be released as a surprise, just like the spec III for GT5P.
August 3rd, 2009 at 7:39 am
The picutres is by Coca Cola®. GTPlanet steal it.xD
August 3rd, 2009 at 8:05 am
It’s saying “you will like Gran Turismos release date”.Also with a picture of Santa looking at the list. It’s like they’re telling us the release date without using any words, just a picture. So they must think GT5 is coming out for Christmas 2009.
August 3rd, 2009 at 9:26 am
Such wonderful news!
I guess it will be before Christmas, as most people shop for gifts before the 25th. It won’t be after Christmas (based on the picture). Therefor based on this deduction one can only say that it will be released on August the 19th ;)
August 3rd, 2009 at 9:38 am
Great news, I would say 4th December for European release then. Virtually no games get released inside the last 2 weeks until Christmas so 11th is the absolute latest for pre-Christmas release, check any release calendar. It does seem that a couple of websites now say 4th Dec as well, I have just noticed!
August 3rd, 2009 at 10:38 am
Its all only rumor…..nothing offical.
Offical:Okt 1.GT psp.
August 3rd, 2009 at 11:50 am
hmm, now when i think of it, December 11th wouldn´t that be 10 year anniversery for the GT franchise!? :)
August 3rd, 2009 at 11:54 am
It would have to be the 12th anniversary seeing as the series began in 1997.
August 3rd, 2009 at 12:06 pm
WHOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
I guess i overreacted, but coming from this site, and talking about this game, that’s a lot of news……
so: WHOOOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!
damn it’s good to hear good news! sadly in my country (argentina) the release date of the game is virtually useless (the game will surely arrive, luckily, 2-3 months later -plus at $100+ dollars-) T_T
August 3rd, 2009 at 12:34 pm
The release date will be the 15th of december
you can quote me on that one when they release the date
August 3rd, 2009 at 12:56 pm
Has that red christmasy cloth/flag/ always been on the Citroen GT (top right corner of gtplanet.net)?
August 3rd, 2009 at 12:57 pm
EB games in Canada lists a Dec 1st 2009 release.
August 3rd, 2009 at 1:02 pm
this year !!
looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
SCEE Comment about what gtplanet taking about

August 3rd, 2009 at 1:22 pm
firas sabri!
SCEE comment offical!!This year only released GT psp,GT5 not.2010.

Does GT5 will be only on PS3 or maybe it will be released for PC ?
August 3rd, 2009 at 1:56 pm
@ majki
GT5 is a Sony exclusive just like the rest of the series and will never come onto PC format.
PCs would blow up if they tried to handle GT5 lol
August 3rd, 2009 at 2:22 pm
@GTMad.
PC’s are far more powerful than a ps3 my friend. High-end video cards alone cost significantly more than a ps3 and they are just one component in the system. Your misconception is one of the many reasons the PC gaming industry is falling to wayside. Developers are forced to scale back software to work with consoles considering they are now the largest portion of the gaming industry. Meanwhile the most powerful machines (PC’s) are no longer being pushed.
Go take a look at screenshots of Crysis running at 1920×1200 maxed out. No console can touch that.
Rant aside, this news is very exciting. I cannot wait for GT5, and taking an BMW e36 M3 around the circuits.

@ trfarchitect
They are “forced back” to consoles, ’cause no one is able to afford such periphery. They should concentrate on consoles, because they are the future.
August 3rd, 2009 at 6:13 pm
@ chinny
i agree, i simply think it unfortunate that the best is not the best. However, i must applaud a company like Crytek which is developing its next game engine, CryEngine 3, to be completely scalable. It will max out the most modern PC, it will also scale back to provide stellar performance on the PS3 & 360. Crysis 2 will be multi platform.
August 3rd, 2009 at 7:51 pm
@ trfarchitect
It was a joke buddy, no need to write an essay on the power of PCs lol
August 3rd, 2009 at 9:24 pm
To be honest I like the look of Far Cry 2 better than Crysis for crazy PC graphics

Quote:Spike, “Great news, I would say 4th December for European release then. Virtually no games get released inside the last 2 weeks until Christmas so 11th is the absolute latest for pre-Christmas release, check any release calendar. It does seem that a couple of websites now say 4th Dec as well, I have just noticed!”
Yeah, you “just noticed” eh? You mean, you looked on some sites first and then came on here to post… :o/
Whatever…
OK, so good news that it might be this year (no date has been set, so stop wetting you pants). If it is December, then logically it’s either going to the 4th or the 11th for Europe.

@Jordan
C’mon give us some obscure Amar-style riddles to decode!
You cant just say “I know some news but cant tell you” – I’d rather not have known at all!!!!
Ok… maybe I do appreciate the ray of light, but you know what I mean!!!!

When I read the story I told my son who was on his PC in the next room & as I posted he told me he found 2 websites with changed dates.
August 4th, 2009 at 7:23 am
“the realise date for GT5 will be -date- which will be only playable on the new ps4 comming out next year” happy gaming.
August 4th, 2009 at 8:47 am
Gamestop says November 25th
August 4th, 2009 at 9:18 am
@vince 15
Its a store date, it isn’t actually the official one for example GAME says 25th september 2009, Amazon says 29 december 2009 and play.com says 4th december 2009 – They are all guesses until all the stores have the same date as each other when the official date is confirmed
August 4th, 2009 at 11:35 am
@ Andyuk-mx5turbo
He has given you a lot of clues, they are just a little more subtle than Amar. I’m going to guess the 1st of Dec.
August 4th, 2009 at 7:47 pm
I’m not fussed when it releases (although this is VERY good news), I just want GT5 to be the very best that it can be. And I want it to be better than Forza 3. Which isn’t going to be hard methinks.
“PC’s are far more powerful than a ps3 my friend.”
Not entirely true. In fact the Cell processor has been rumoured to be more powerful than the “almighty i7″. And saying that high-end video cards are more expensive than the PS3 and being just one component in the system isn’t really supporting your argument very well considering that you’re essentially saying that in order to beat the PS3’s processing power you have to spend 2 or 3 times as much.
August 4th, 2009 at 11:40 pm
HOLY SH!T!!! I’m so happy! GT has been the best game to me in history.
August 5th, 2009 at 5:16 am
Murcie, considering the PS3 is sold at a loss and would likely cost as much as a decent specced PC for sony to produce, I dont think you’re supporting your argument very well. ;)
August 5th, 2009 at 6:19 am
@Murcie
No pc’s are light years ahead of any console, be it ps3 xbox / whatever (you try and run an o/s multiple programs and a game at the same time on a ps3.. nooope), the ps3 has a video graphics adapter based on nvidia’s old 7800gt for starters and also the biggest reason is that the world of pc hardware moves so quickly it is shocking… buy a top of the line pc one week and the next month it is old hat !! the best gaming platform is and will always be the pc if you have the hardware to run it correctly :)
As for consoles well i love my ps3… it plays bluray for starters and the fact that gt5 may be out soon is a bonus… sooner than later we hope ;)
August 5th, 2009 at 4:00 pm
I don’t see GT5 in the gamescom line-up :-(?
August 5th, 2009 at 4:09 pm
@ Jebuske: but was GT5 in the E3 line-up, No. Niether was FM3 for Microsoft. It will probably be mentioned with GT PSP by a new trailer similar to the GT PSP trailer at E3 and hopefully with a release date at the end of it ;)
August 5th, 2009 at 6:17 pm
@ gtbloke
uhhh consoles give you more bang for your buck in terms of playing video games
yea computers are tech superior only if you have a couple grand to spend compared to 400 of the highest console in Sony’s ps3.
August 5th, 2009 at 6:20 pm
@ Jebuske: It doesn’t have to be in the line-up, was GT PSP in the line-up for E3?
August 6th, 2009 at 5:13 am
YES yes YES yes YES! iam sooooooo happy
OMG omg OMG omg OMG…… panicking.
cant wait OMG wat to say i am lost no words OMG omg OMG
i love u all………

August 6th, 2009 at 7:43 am
@Jebuske: please note that Jordan said they would reveal something during the press conference. He didn’t say that it would be featured in the game line-up.
August 7th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
11 days counting down now!! :D
August 8th, 2009 at 6:32 pm
is there anywhere the show the confrence live? like gamespot?
August 8th, 2009 at 7:15 pm
I thought Of looking there but didn’t see anything and have been going place to place on the internet looking for a feed, but still I won’t mind sitting here waiting for the confirmation on gtplanet & even if GT5 isn’t at gamescom we will get some kind of news about gt seeing as gtpsp is there. Is the GDC on the 17th august or 18th (Game Developers conference)
August 9th, 2009 at 5:07 am
As the release date for GT5 has slipped time and time again I don’t think I trust any release date I see any more. play.com, where I’ve had a pre-order of GT5 placed for what seems like forever, are currently stating that the release date is now 4th December ‘09. We’ll just have to wait and see…
August 9th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
i can see myself rushing home from work the 18th…… think its gonna be a tuesday, all i wanna see is
August 9th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
i can see mysel rushing home from work the 18th…….. think its gonna be a tuesday, all i wanna see is another trailer, sum screenies and a release date…… that int too much to ask…. after that leading up to december is gonna be so hype with videos on youtube and new screen shots updates….. long live granturismo
August 9th, 2009 at 9:38 pm
Wow not 1 picture or video released for this game yet. You gotta love the way there keeping things a secret and giving us clues little by little. I would love a release around christmas time anything before would be even better.
August 10th, 2009 at 2:44 am
RazDaz, we have the official GT5 trailer and screenshots right here on GTPlanet.
August 11th, 2009 at 10:24 am
Hmm i think it will be released in September for Europe. What makes me think that you might say, well check this out.
May 8, 1998 – GT1
January 28, 2000 – GT2
July 20, 2001 – GT3
March 9, 2005 – GT4
September ?, 2009 – GT5
If you put them in order from the start of the year (January) there is always a 1 month gap in between and so it must mean its being released in September.
I love conspiracies :P
August 11th, 2009 at 11:58 am
Sorry, Mike, but it’s not going to be released in September. :)
August 11th, 2009 at 11:18 pm
dam! what are they waiting for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i cant stand it enymore iv done GT5 prologue 4 time over i want this ting call GT5 it my DRUG please help me lol
seriously DONT be in front of me the day it going to be at my fav game store all DESTROYE ENITING IN MY WAY lol
i have to say this his geting out of hand comon why are they making us wait like that? WHE NEED A REAL OFFICIAL DATE RELEASE a 100% FOR real date
thank you
a guy who is fed up of geting own by big compagnie
August 12th, 2009 at 9:50 am
After looking at PD’s homepage, I doubt that we in Europe get this game this year. Reason is that every single GT game has been released in Japan months before they were released in Europe and Japan isn’t playing GT5 at the moment, so once it is released there, it may take months before we can get our hands on it.
August 12th, 2009 at 11:11 am
@ Racer: Can’t remember where i’ve seen or heard it before but it might be a world wide release.
August 12th, 2009 at 11:49 am
That’s correct, Jack. It will be a worldwide release.
August 12th, 2009 at 9:47 pm
Course Japan-made games, always release it first in their country.. best to start learning Japanese now before that release date. Read “Remember the Kanji” and “Remember the Hirgana and Katakana” books by Heisig, took me 9 weeks to master the Kanji and 1 week to master the Hiragana and katakana, then you will have to proceed to sentencing… which takes a tad longer lol… 100 kanji a day and weekly revision tests plus do audio lessons both “Pimsuleur” series and even better the “Japanesepod101″ audio lessons and you be playing GT5 before any country in the world… Japanese edition babey ;)
August 12th, 2009 at 9:56 pm
if this is a worlwide release wich im sure it will be. then im asumming it will be lauch before chritsmas.im sure iv seen this ting going aroud web site alot.
i think there making million of copy then on release date worlwide pow! there you have it!
they know LOT aND I MEAN lot OF PEPOLE are WAITING…. for this game a rather call it a sim,
sry for my poor spelling im french i hope you guy understand me.
finally i like to say that i got the strange feeling that there going to be a special edition of GT5 also
PS
rememberr compagny arent here to please us making this game or eny othere
there main
GOAL is to make money so if the lauch is delay it because they have a reason to delay it to make more money further on a nother date or even year
there not your friend there your drug dealer selling you big time fo you to have the latest game or hit cuz it IS a drug!
dont belive me?
you think enybody on the D DAY will play it only a few minute? or hour? loll
beeter off say 12 to 15 hour in a role before recharging your self for a nother 10 hour at least with soft drink junk food or eniting you can eat fast loll
have a good day felow
August 14th, 2009 at 6:12 am
Still NOONE has asked the major question! Will GT5 have split screen play!?!??? Cause if it doesn’t then I don’t even know if I’m gonna buy it but if it has then I’m sure I’m gonna. Would really appreciate a good answer from a reliable source! Thx!
August 17th, 2009 at 8:44 pm
i wound see why not for the split screen this is a BIG title if they dont do that well lol lot player not going to buy it but i think the multiplayer sgoing to be concentrate on on line playing
nah after thinking of it it impossible Sweden they dont make it.
major question his WEN IS THIS #$$^%$&&^* COMING OUT!! NOBODY know nobody see it like a real CIA secret fu…
well im COD in mean time and GT5 prologue better then noting…….
August 17th, 2009 at 8:46 pm
you guy BETTER practice cuz im in the top worlwide RACER go see your self im there al BE no sec chance practice practice practic … wile you can… get ready to face the real deal lol
August 17th, 2009 at 10:47 pm
I sincerely hope that this is correct and that we can definitely, FINALLY get Gran Turismo 5 in our hands!
August 18th, 2009 at 5:57 am
IF they had half a brain they’d have it out before mama goes out to do the christmas shopping. But I also follow wallstreet and well sony is less than stellar when it come sto posting eps at the right times in the cycles. Anyhow, I bought a PS3 on an impulse purchase when I saw GT5 “proogue” title in the store, thought it was the real GT5 but didn’t follow much just bloody loved gt4. Heck I bought my ps2 for that game alone on impulse, ie 5 second decision, only owned 2 games for my ps2 gt4 and final fantasy, pricey console for only 2 loved games.
Anyhow, if they had half a brain they could boost PS3 sales bigtime with a november release and itchy kids buggin the p3ss :) out of their parents to buy them a ps3 or should I say santa for this game alone. December anytime is way to late and shareholders will suffer as the wii’s fly off the shelves as mommy looks to save a few bucks (or just a few games for one they already have, instead of a ps3 new and gt5 in mind). Likeiwse just having that console they get more sales of other games, bundle the game with christmas edition ps3. Heck microsoft lost money on its consoles to get people buying/hooked on theie titles.
I’ve almost bought an xbox just to get he ace combat flight titles but can’t do it, hawx a big dissapointment, boo to ubisoft, never another dime from me. The only other franchise that makes dough like Gran turisom is ZELDA, and its shrouded in mystery as well and long overdue. I bought a gamecube for that game alone the day it came out (pawn shop console purchased as I play no other game on it, to this day only that one, big badass PC gamer and love the power of a home built console. I’m over 30 and blow cash on a useless console with 1/10 thepower of my pc (PS3 included) for the titles I played the originals of as a kid, a first gen gamer from atari and adam computer, mmm original zelda mmmm hooked ever since). Gues what, I’ll buy a wii for zelda and zelda alone (pawn shop for the console as its useless old hardware, but game on preoder). If they’d wake up and learn of the biggest cash rich end of their market they’d get the GT5 in stores for christmas shopping and make their shareholders happy with the q4 results, nope for kaizen, let wall street dictate your future. Best of luck, don’t take your eyes off the customer for too long or you’ll end up like nintendo did. You may not get the second chance comeback that they had (were dead and gone penny stock, wow what acomeback).
August 18th, 2009 at 6:04 am
God I hope they give up the goods tommorow, I’d even be inclined to buy a little sony stock banking on the fact that they’d have a good q4, anthing in december I’ll short it and make money on it goin down. Suely polyphony hasn’t gotten complacent thinking its the leader in the pack and will stay that way indefinitely. If they’d of been out sooner like originally promised I wouldn’t even know what the hell forza 4 meant but unfortunately now I do. And NFS shift as I know what my next racing fix will be and who provides it :)
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:34 am
