Hello GT Community — I am sharing some news today that we have made the difficult decision to delay the release of Gran Turismo Sport to 2017. GT Sport is Polyphony’s foremost competitive gaming title, with high expectations from both the fans and from within our team.

From the start this title has been one of our most ambitious undertakings by using the latest technologies, such as physics-based rendering and sound simulations, and Scapes photo mode. In combining these features with a new Sport mode, we are offering a competitive gaming experience to truly reinvent what it means to be a racing game. We’ve been excited and humbled by the response each time that we’ve shared new gameplay with everyone.

However, as we approach our planned release date in November, we realize we need more time to perfect GT Sport, which we’ve already dedicated so much effort towards since announcing the title. We do not want to compromise the experience in any way. While we cannot confirm a new release date at this time, we are more committed than ever to making GT Sport the best Gran Turismo game to date.

GT Sport will continue to be shown at several gaming events around the world. I hope everyone has the opportunity to experience first-hand the yet-to-be revealed cutting edge experiences that will be achieved by GT Sport.

Thank you for all your continued support.

Continue to be shown? Where? It hasn't been shown much at all..
 
What ever happened to that promised beta test as well? This news doesn't even surprise me though, it wouldn't be a Gran Turismo release without at least a few delays.

Well they said they cut that so they can make the November date for the full game. So much for that.

This really is quite a shambles. PS4 released November 2013, PD are not going to have a game over three years later. It could end up being closer to 4.
 
I can't... I miss the glory days of GT... I will buy today Forza 6.

I'm shocked...honestly what is with Polyphony? I've never been one to criticize them, but it's getting rediculous. Is the team too small? I just don't get how Forza can put out 3 games before 1 GT game. I feel like it's because Polyphony focuses on little features and tie ins, which most people won't use in the first place. Is it too much to ask for just cars, tracks, good graphics and good sound? Maybe if Sony started cutting some funding they would focus on the core elements of a racing game and get it out the door...
 
No show at PSX, E3 conference, cancelled beta, an underwhelming launch event. Writing was on the wall.

Also this is more laughable since the excuse given to PD during the PS3 days was the CELL architecture was hard to code for, we'll it's been 4 years and we ain't playing any GTgame soon :lol: .
 
This is a pity as I am really looking forward to GTS as I do every GT launch. However, it is not surprising in the slightest. Hopefully this delay will mean we do not have to wait for features like we did with GT6. I will still purchase GTS but I do not mind waiting although I do feel for those who were counting down the days to it.

With Assetto Corsa having just launched and my new wheel set-up on the way I will be more than content on the racing front.

I have never been one to criticise PD but you really must question the structure and productivity within. When a GT launches it is not exactly the mother of all racing games with perfect sound, damage and a feature-complete state. A glut of new personnel or a real look at studio efficiency is required.

The lack of new release date is the most worrying thing here.

Other than that, it's business as usual. I was kinda expecting a delay and that's not even because of PD. Every single racing sim (or hell, even every game this generation) seems to get delayed these days.

Now can we not do a No Man's Sky and send Kaz death threats? Cheers.

As long as they don't send them by fax he probably won't read them anyway.
