How detailed will the course maker be exactly?
I'm hoping something close to Bobs Track Builder for rFactor, only a little simpler to use though.

The course maker will not allow you to design a course from scratch, rather you tell it what type of terrain how twisty and either a closed course or a special stage and then it will generate the course.

I heard end of week, so tomorrow I guess.

I hope my info is correct, Dec 9th would be great for most!
 
If they want make money @christmas, the game MUST release, at latest, 1 week, better 2 weeks, before christmas. I don´t think that most parents (or who ever) is buying the present 1 day before christmas...

So december 23rd makes no sense to me...
 
cool cool! thanks hommie

But take it with a grain of salt at the same time, my info I got may not be correct.

It was off a local Sony rep who was doing GT displays at a local store. So who knows.

👍 Husbands might buy their wives Christmas presents that close to Christmas, but parents probably have better things to do 2 days before 'the big day' than shopping for computer games.

If it did come out on the 23rd i'm unsure if i'd even get hold of it on release day. They might as well just release it a week later.

:tup:The most profit period for Christmas sales is between 7-20 December ,I think!So Sony if you want to make money,a lot of money lets it happen please!

Good point, can you imagine the mess it would be in when it arrived after it had been used as a football by the temporary Christmas posties :scared: :sick:

Im a parent, and if a game comes out that late and the kids want it, I'll happily get it for them.

Ditto and ditto but a lot of non-geek mum's will want the Christmas shopping done and dusted a couple of weeks before but more importantly it would be a nightmare trying to deliver the games by post that close to Christmas.


On another note doesn't Kinnect launch in the US today? Maybe Sony will piss on their chips and announce the new GT5 release date today? 💡
 
I hope it won't be 23rd. Where I live the most important part of christmas is supper on christmas eve. Most people go to their families on 24th, so do I, and if GT will be here at 23rd I will have only time to install it, put it in B-spec mode and play remotely for at least 4 days. Thats not the perfect way to start your adventure in GT world.
 
the 23rd of December is crap. I ordered it online. It won't make it by Christmas. I didn't pay for fast shipping. I'd like it by Christmas and I figured, when I ordered it, with it shipping 2 months prior to Christmas, I was in the clear. GT5 being 3 days late to production shouldn't delay it by 49 days.

What ever happened to the old fashion way of getting up and going to the shops? It seems half the games sold these days are delivered. I'll never order anything so commonly available via mail.

Apart from getting it cheaper online the Collector's Edition is only available from e-retailers in the UK.

As I've stated before, Japan has a huge minority of Christians, so December 23rd for them doesn't really make a difference.

+1, it's not on that we can only get it from Amazon or Play.com. I'd rather go out to my local games shop and buy it there, but at least with Amazon there is the chance of getting it one or two days early.

But they aren't selling this to Japanese people only. It's a world-wide game, and they must consider the selling power of that Christian holiday.
 
I just had a call informing me of the gt5 delay and the new date is December 2nd. I know it's not official but it's worth a post :)
 
Japanese sales will probably account for little more than 10% of total sales.
