Where is Gran Turismo 4 comming out first???

(here in the Netherlands on 15 feb. 2005)

what about America, Australia, bla, bla, bla bla.....

and could someone post screens if he or she has gran turismo 4. Thanks

:dopey: :) :indiff: :ill: :yuck: 👍 💡 👎 :grumpy: :sly: :guilty: :scared: :dunce: :ouch:
 
Ok.......let's clear this up so I can actually put the real release date for GT4 in the U.S.A........which is the real one??
 
There is no release date for anywhere except for Japan, which is set for Dec 28th. SCEA and SCEE have not announced a confirmed date for anywhere else, even that "15 Feb" you mention is just a guess, not confirmed. Believe me, when the dates are announced, it'll be big news here.

As for screens, there are many threads with screencaps. Also try the "Gran Turismo 4" link at the top of the page, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of screencaps in that section, as well a ton of lovely videos.
 
all you have to know is that the game isn't comming out any time soon, going as far as saying march/april isn't unrealistic.
if GT3 is *any* indication even a july release is probable, that's how long it took them to port GT3... about 6 months.

Heck, if i were in PD shoes i'd just delay it enough to get online support and all the bugs completley sorted out, it actually makes sense, they allready missed christmas, so no need to ship a crippled game in the US, Korea, or Europe.
this way they got a nice incentive for people to buy a PS2 with GT4 included come christmas 2005, it would be a good bundle, GT4+PS2 with online capabilities would serve as a nice showcase of the PS2's abilities come Christmas 2005.
(not saying delay the game till christmas 2005, just that it would be a very appealing bundle come christmas 2005)

uhhh I'll askt in the store and they get it delivered at 15 feb. '05

Look around a bit, and you'll discover the horrible truth.. retail stores do NOT have ANY "inside information" on release dates. They get their release dates from the same press releases we do. When they know, we'll know. Until there's an official press release from Sony with a confirmed release date, do not believe anything you read, see, or hear from anyone. Because they're either making it up, or they're just spouting off what their corporate offices told them to spout off.

FYI, there's a simple way to show that the 2/15 date is just a guess. SCEA and SCEE have only announced "First Quarter 2005" as a release window. In other words, the game will be out sometime between January 1st and March 31st. Now, devide that in half... you get February 14th as the exact center of "Q1 2005". But, that's a Monday, and games nearly always come out on Tuesday, so you bump it a day. Voila... February 15th. A guess, nothing more.

I'll have to say, that was a great observation. 👍 👍 👍
 
Indeed.

But yeah, the stores are pointless... ~looks at Best Buy reserve card that says Nov. 24th~

Bah i just finished Toca2 and i was hoping that would hold me till GT4...........man was i wrong :(

and on top of that they release another Demo??? WTF I atleast want a SOLID release date to look forward to........ (even if they push back again :( )
 
Actually I heard a rumor going around that PD decided that instead of release GT4, they were going to release 8 more demos, that with Prologue, will incorporate the entire game. This way they can make twice as much by selling each new demo for $15-$20usd. At the same time, improve on any aspect of the game that are brought up during the demo releases.

Must have gotten GT4 confused with Microsoft Windows Longhorn
 
Can we forget this subject of release dates? Everytime i see there is along way until GT4 comes to my ps2, i stay in panic =/ can´t wait anymore for it

i prefer to don´t remember and wait quietly for it´s arrival.
 
Hey cjrciadt,

I absolutely agree on your wishlist but The Tacoma X Runner and the Golf V GTI are already confirmed to be in GT4 and some others are very seemingly candidates ( CTS-V, 300C, Saleen S281, etc).

Just for fun :) ,

See ya :sly:

it will be released in 2026 on the playstation 9.

that joke is so old... that would disgust me if gt4 got released in Q2 2005. That would be some sort of sick joke, but then again, they did have my hopes up for a release right before my birthday... I should have had this game tomorrow. Stupid press, I hope they get an OFFICIAL date out soon, and when they do, I shouldnt be disappointed, because the game is supposedly gold.

Just in case you're wondering why I wrote so much, its cuz people like to make you look stupid on this site sometimes.
