GT4 is going online baby, that can be the only reason for this gruesome delay :scared: :dopey:

So, in this equation, when PD announced the game had gone gold back in what..November...wouldn't that have been an indication that everything was done?
(Example: Game menus translated into the correct language based on regions, game tested & bugs, if any, fixed?)

If so, then why was the Asian market the only region to get the game, while everyone else waits 2-3 months? And if this isn't the case & PD is doing some additional 'bug fixing', wouldn't that be somewhat of a slap in the face to every one else who has already purchased the game?
(Think about all those users who have already had the game imported...if PD/Sony is doing some additional bug testing wouldn't that be a hint that you bought a less then perfect, possible flawed game?)

If the game was 'done' back in November, I don't see how it could take two or three months working on translations by PD to get the game out, especially when translating a game, given the staff that PD has, shouldn't take longer then it would take to model a car, which from what I hear, takes up to about a month per car.

So, I guess what I'm trying to ask for here is 'clarification' to:
What is it called, if anything, when a developer of a game has completed the game, done its testing & has everything regarding translations done & ready to go into production...does such a name exists? If so, I always thought it was a term called 'gold'...(as told to me once by a friend who once worked for EA)..and didn't GT4 go 'gold' back in November?

T.I.A. any clarification!

yes thats another good reason to believe hyde's story is complete BS! All beta testing and bug-ironing should have been done in japan when it was still in japanese. i dont think that changing the menus, descriptions, and whatever else was in japanese would cause too many problems with the programming.
 
Going gold does not justify the game is going into production all the time. It is a term that has been stamped in the video game industry to distinguish a game from finished and ready to sell. Polypohny digital said the game was finished, the Japanese Version. Thus, they annouced it was done and had a party.

They never gave a true to life reason as to why the delay occured. More than likely it was something minor.

As for the US and PAL delays, I seriously doubt that they are delayed due to any bugs, period. In fact, I'd be willing to say that for the most part the game is finished, only the aspects of translations, and recording of the narrations are being done. We really don't know what's going on, it might be legal issues, it might jsut be some crazy marketing frenzy, or mistake. Who knows.

The point is, when the game went gold, it was because the Japanese Version was complete, something came up, they held off release, and then it was done.

I once thought US date was solid, I admitted my faults, the date wasn't set, and to this day it still hasn't been announced that the NTSC US or PAL versions are finished.
 
okay, there is not one bug listed in the beginning of this post.

Der_Meister : You seriously think that he will have any impact, even with the people he does not know? Learn to take what people say as a grain of salt. For one, if he knew someone at SCEA, he would know that these things will not get changed, at all, because they are not "bugs". SCEA doesn't look for things like this, they look for the game to crash at a specific point.

This is my last post, lol, either somepeople are just entirely too hopefull, or too hard headed.

I don't really care about all this non-sense I'm just patiently waiting for GT4 US :)
No need to flame! "...either somepeople are just entirely too hopefull, or too hard headed" :indiff:

Sorry, I ddin't mean to flame or offend you man, and I wasn't taking a shot at you directly, just happened to fall under my comment to you :)

My advice is to wait patiently and ignore the drama and rumor, lies and falsehoods. The experience will be that much better when you get the game :) And trust me, I've been playing it for sometime, and it's quite the game, very fun indeed.
 
a) if you guys think this is a joek topic, why keep posting and bumping?
b) if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything
c) like 80% of people in this topic are trying to prove themselves to everyone else
d) I believe Hyde.
 
we all need psychological help. we are addicted to a game we havent even played yet. :) I'm getting the shakes... and i cant sleep at night.

hehehe, no weve just been deprived of our new GT game for a long time, so were all cranky.
 
some of you need to practice what you preach

i've read in other threads people unwilling to believe practically any source for a release date...yet are willing to believe a user of this board 'may' be able to iron out bugs and even include features NOT included in the Japanese release....come on now...

as probbaly said 1000 times only thing that can be done is look forward to it, and wait for it to hit the shops...

Pretty much sums it up for most folks. No explaination for the delay, a weak announcement for online play being nix'd...45 skylines.... :banghead:

It's readily apparent that this thread has turned into PURE UNADULTERATED SPECULATION, and that's it.

You don't believe Hyde...fine.

You do believe Hyde...fine.

Call it a day, see what he has to say, and then let the next volley begin :ouch:

read my posts buddy, i said "i might be mistaken about this".
plus, i dont care who you've spoken to, this story is just pure BS, a tester cant change the game content at all, all he can do is say "oops heres a show stopper that needs to be fixed"


PS- Why do you have to be such an A** HOLE all the time?

Wolf, this is the second time you have broken AUP in as many days. Cool your temper and drop the attitude. If you disagree with someones point, say so, there is no need to resort to name calling.

Consider this a warning.
 
The only thing I know is that Hyde's plan had worked. You're all jacking and BS'in about nothing. Just wait for 11 march instead of posting not then unintresting stuff.

Maybe Hyde started this thread to get some attention so it worked. Now let's stop posting and get back to the serious threads where you can find info about the game you really are looking for.

didn't wade through 18 pages of crap, but did anyone mention the thread titled "GT4 bugs"?

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=50770&page=1

There is mention of a few disturbing bugs, such as screen distortions, the "autodrive" running into the wall during a rolling start, etc.

those are BUGS

missing features are not bugs and are a waste of time in this thread

These are the new vehicles that SCEE has confirmed will be in the european lauch on the 11th March

"SCEE confirmed the inclusion of 10 additional vehicles for the European version; these include the stunning new Alfa Romeo GT, the Audi Nuvolari Quattro, the award-winning modified HPA Motorsports Golf IV R32, the Auto Union V16 Type C Streamline Race Car, the controversial Chaparral 2J Race Car and the 1993 Le Mans winning Peugeot 905."

Really!? wow! what a coincidence! I'm the chief producer of Half-Life 2!1`¬ :dunce:
 
My eyes are starting to bleed. I came to this forum looking for information but instead I have to go through 18 pages of nothing. The fact is we are all consumers, PD can take as long as they want and it will change nothing. People can say anything they want on the internet with no credentials and it will change nothing. When the game comes out we will all buy it,until then all we can do is import it or wait.
