At What point will you concede?

[Spagetti69]

IF No information come from Sony regarding the release date at what point will you think it's not coming this year?

IE. 1st week November
2nd week November.

 

[MadduckUK]

Some event on Nov 03? I think if nothing happens by then we can all give up and look for something else to do this Christmas

 

[Adam41]

Mid November for me. I've got 5 weeks off from Uni over Christmas and I want to be able to enjoy GT5 over that time. I'll be properly 🤬 off if it doesn't come before the New Year. 👎

 

[SolidSnakex]

My personal feeling right now is that it's probably not coming out this year. If the game does come out this year then i'll of course be surprised and happy. But if it doesn't then i've already set myself up for it so I won't be as disappointed as I was when the November 2nd delay was announced.

 

[Spagetti69]

I did try to put up a poll fellas. On my iPhone I must have pressed the wrong button.
Personally I don't think it's coming.

Realistically I suppose 2nd week of November and that's it.

 

[Anes]

Just release the damn game already sony I'm tired of these shenanigans

🤬

 

[DJW_GT]

I'm pretty convinced it will come this year, however, if there were to be no release date by December (which I'm sure there will be), I may have to concede then.

I simply don't think Sony are stupid enough to put a guarantee on it coming out before Christmas, only to have it come out next year. Just my opinion though.

 

[Darkmiss]

I think it will be announced for December 3rd

I already believe it will be a 2011 title as much as I wish it wasn't.

I believed it would release in 2009 - I was wrong
I believed it would release mid 2010 - I was wrong
I believed it would release in the first week of Nov 2010 - I was wrong
I now believe it will be released in 2011


Hopefully my predictions follow tradition and I am wrong again.

Given the fact that Sony promised us we would know the release date by the end of the month and today is the end of the month, I would not be surprised if they did not get it out before Christmas. If that is the case i wonder if Jack Tretton will resign (thats what he said).

 

[Jay]

They never promised that.

 

[Zimmerd]

Indeed, If we don't get a new release date in the second week of November,
I think we won't see GT5 in 2010.

 

[Goudvis]

I've got time off in February. I can wait...

 

[Beliall]

If it does'nt get released this christmas, it will probably be next christmas. And we'll have 1000 premiums.

 

[Watevaman]

Mid-November is when I realistically don't see them having enough time/resources to release it within 2010.

If you are wrong again though, this means that it won't be released in 2011 but what about 2012?
Anyway, I think it will be released this year and I will continue to do so until the very end(of the year)

Haha don't worry, you will be correct again. Trust me. This game is gonna come 2016, though. I have a good feeling of that, yeah... !

 

[Seismica]

The end of November. If we don't know by December I think it'll be too late.

However, just because it isn't announced doesn't mean they haven't set a release date.

 

[BORDER323]

I was hopeing GT5 would break the sony / PD... sorry guys GT has been delayed story...

Once again here we are.

Im now just hopeing for a christmas release.. somewhere the start of december

thinking logically..

I think this is when sony / pd will be able to generate the maximum revenue for GT5, what with gt/ps3 bundles .. kids wanting their first ps3 for xmas scenario.

if we have no date by Nov 20th... i fear it may be a 2011 release.

what really grates on me...

and this is not just for PD / SONY... why the hell start hyping stuff up and promoting like a maniac when you have no idea if you can hit release dates you set ( it just makes you look unprofessional )

Surely wouldnt it be better for all ( including developers loosing face ) to have the game 100% complete then get your release date set in stone say 3-4 months after setting a date you can 100% hit.

Only then take a few months to promote the living crap out of it... and ACTUALLY HIT the release date. Also release the game in the prime of advertising when hype is at a maximum and gerneral awarness is at its highest.

in some ways SONY are among the best at promoting itself and its products.. but in othe ways it does come across very amature.

maybe they like the ... " PD/ SONY NEVER HIT TARGET.... but its worth the wait " way.

If it were me.. i would prefer the we always deliver on time and its still the best there is approach.

i do know there are lots of variables in game creation that sometimes cannot be planned, but this is why it annoys me they leave no buffer time period to account for these... and just end up letting people down.

 

[JimboMan67]

Come on Japan guys we`re still waiting for the release date.... Where are you ?????

 

[cicohipe]

Jan 1, 2011

 

[brensta76]

I think we have a better chance of seeing GT6 before GT5 is released....lol this is ridiculous Sony. How long do we all have to wait for this game to ACTUALLY make release... COME ON!!!!

 

[depresion]

If it's not out befor xmas then there must have been a big problem somewhere Sony wouldn't be daft enough to risk missing the big seasonal sales for a firmware update, there is too much of a chance that 3.50 will be cracked by January anyway.

I'd say if we don't know by the Friday of SEMA we are looking towards a Mid 2011 date.

 

[raytard]

Rule one of customer satisfaction is to under-promise and over-deliver

There is still a chance they are pulling a fast one on us and it is still coming out Nov 2, they just pulled the date because there was a chance it couldn't make it. It is still possible this is a treat for all of us antsy fans who have waited years. I know I wouldn't be pissed anymore if my preorder that has stretched over a year old was finally turned in earlier than I expected, it would definitely make up for all the waiting.

this is my point though..

if they had intially set a December 1st release date, and there was a big problem they would have had 2 months to sort it .. and no-one would have been any the wiser.. game is released on time and they dont have to loose face.

as it is , they set a date... cant meet it and look a lil unproffesional ONCE AGAIN !!.

seems to me they were daft enough, not to give themselves a time period for BUG TESTING.

even modders of games who do it for free bug test....

Again who knows , maybe they like this attention... as they say .. there is no such thing as bad press !!!!

 

[shawtyoner]

Seriously, if they now miss the holiday release date slot, then they might as well say to hell with it, we've made these schmucks wait this long, lets keep working on the game and release end of Q1 next year.

I agree and can seriously see this happening now..

AHH SOD IT... lets bung a few more things in .. like livery editor.. more premium cars

 

[Luminis]

December 1st, that's when I'll give up on a 2010 release for GT5.

And here I am, still hoping Fallout: New Vegas would last me until GT5 comes out. Oh well...

 

[Le Mans 88]

If nothing is mentioned at the GT awards at SEMA next week thats it for any 2010 release hopes.

 

[HBR-Roadhog]

While we do not have a solid date we do have a statement that it will be released "before Christmas" barring other news then I would not give up until Dec 25th as that is currently the only solid date we have. There are of course rumors for pretty much every week between now and then.

Another statement I saw from Sony said that the game would be released at the earliest end of Nov and at the latest mid Dec. definitely before Christmas. Until we hear otherwise this is the best info we have to go on so may as well consider this the time line.
