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…

yea you woud all like that now woud yea?
heheh
it nice to dream snif! …
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 :)
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).
I sincerely hope that this is correct and that we can definitely, FINALLY get Gran Turismo 5 in our hands!
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
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…….
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!
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
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 ;)
@ Racer: Can’t remember where i’ve seen or heard it before but it might be a world wide release.
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.
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
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
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.
I just had to make a note how funny this was to come across. June 13, 2010…And so far that reliable source was the most unreliable to date, and Rikusaki’s “confirmed” date was also owned.
