Ok, this is ridiculous! Delaying a game by a year is one thing, but straight up not making a game is another! The main reason that I got a psp was to play gt mobile when it came out. Now there have been barely any signs of this game ever since the psp came out. Did they just lie and say that they were going to make it to get people to buy a psp? I absolutely love the games that polyphony digital makes, and gt4 is basically the only game that I play. But the amount of delays and now this really makes me mad. They should at least tell us weather or not this game will be made! If not then oh well, gt5 better be good. But if this game is being made, then when will they release it? Wasn't this originally going to be a release title on the psp? Why did they have all of those pictures of gt mobile next to the psp? And that video? Sorry to rant, but I'll bet that many other people feel the same way about the disappearance of this title.
Where did it go?

You aren't the only one, I shelled out 450 bucks for the system when it first came out, stictly for holding on to till gt mobile, and I too waited a long while, and said screw this waiting, will there be any pixels left on the system when the game eventually does come out, and sold it for half what i paid for it. Thank god I got some use out of it, with the 1.5 firmware.

$450? Thats insane. No they didn't lie, In an an interview on www.pspupdates.qj.net They spoke of it, apparently its still a work in progress, and according to ign is due Q1 2007.

I could guess Q1 2012 when the PSP2 comes out and it'll still be realistic.Keichi Tsuchiya
It IS ridiculous. PD should AT LEAST give us at least a word or two on the progress of the game, if there EVEN IS a game. As you guys have said, many of us bought a PSP mainly for GTMobile. They should be keeping in touch with us more.

I do feel sorry for the guys who actually went out and bought PSP for GT4. I was thiking about doing the same, but I sure am glad I didn't jump to gun.
Polyphony Digital reminds me of one friend of mine. When we agree to meet somewhere, say 9 o'clock, that's the time he decides to get ready. Bunch of us would be waiting at 9:15, and call him. He'd be just getting ready to leave the house. So naturally, we tell him 15 - 30 minutes earlier than the actual time to meet us now.
I think I'm going to have to keep a same mindset with P.D., so I don't waste my time. GT5 is due out in spring of 2008? You mean Q2 of 2009, got it!

I heard that it will be coming out 4th quarter 2006, but as we've come to expect, it will probably be delayed AGAIN

When was the last time PD released on time? I have a PSP, and I'll keep it not just for GTMobile but for the varous other games out there that look good. So far I have Wipeout, Socom and FIFA 06, All very good, and I don't regret any of it. Maybe next time PD should keep GT under heavy wraps until they are actually done with it.
I doubt they're making the game at all. The only things that are convincing us that it exists is, well, PD telling us it does exist, and the official box-art for the cover.
We have absolutely no in-game material of GTMobile, all that was shown to us was a video of GT4 replays.
Also, when was the announcement of GTMobile made?

I agree with Duck. This is because I too never herd of when it was announced to the public.
If I'm not mistaken, the last game PD released on time was GT2. We all know how well that worked out. Delays and unfulfilled promises have been a part of our beloved series. Gran Turismo games are never released on time and they never have all the features hyped about (i.e. drag racing, online racing, & visual vehicle damage) but at the same time PD never fails to deliver a magnificent piece of art. Just ask youself: "Has there ever been a GT game that wasn't worth the wait?"

So any word on when this game is coming out? I myself bought my PSP for GT4 and Ive been waiting long, very long. They should atleast tell use if its gonna even come out or not. And when it DOES come out. It better have an ONLINE racing feature. Honestly in all the time they have us waiting they must have a TOP OF THE LINE racing game. With almost anything you can do to the cars. I cant beleive im still waiting for this darn game to come out. Its august and I havent heard NADA. Like seriously wtf?
Socom is coming out soon tho

Do a search in Google news and you'll find the latest:
" Originally planned for release in Japan during Spring 2005, it seems that Gran Turismo 4: Mobile Edition continues to follow its home console predecessors in falling behind schedule. Speaking to Japanese publication Famitsu, developers Polyphony Digital have confirmed that the game has been given an indefinite release date."
There you have it. I'd bet a million bucks they aren't even working on it.

Some good news for Sony on a day they'd otherwise rather forget - Polyphony Digital has "categorically denied" reports that it's canned the PSP version of Gran Turismo.
Recent reports based on a translation of a Famitsu Weekly article suggested that Gran Turismo 4 Mobile, which has been trailed since before the PSP even came out, had been put on indefinite hold.
But that's rubbish, according to the developer. "We can categorically deny all speculation which suggests that PDI is not developing a GT franchise game for the PSP," the company said in a statement to Eurogamer today.
"In fact, we've reached the stage where a GT4 equivalent runs on the PSP hardware. However, our main focus at present, is the development and release of a GT title for the PS3 platform."
"Once this has been completed, we can return to, and jump-start, development for the PSP version. In regards to release dates and details, we'll be making further announcement, at a later date."
GT4 Mobile has been delayed repeatedly since it was announced ahead of the PSP's launch. Originally down for a late 2004 release in Japan, it then slipped to spring 2005, and since then it's become a bit vague.

speedf50 & sunnybwoy... why didn't you just wait until GT mobile gets released before buying the PSP? Sorry,but that is entirely your fault...nobody forced you to buy it, especially that soon. Don't complain, blaim your impatience instead...
I understand your anger however, but I think it will be released 2007...

I also feel bad for you guys who bought a PSP waiting for GT4 mobile... It was clearly a ploy to make people buy it showing that some of their favourite Sony titles would definately be on it..... and GT was one of the biggest...
Its so tipical of PD to not meet deadlines but its appauling to talk so much about a title and tease people since 2004 and nothing at all has happened since! and now that they are focusing on GT5 you probably wont see it till 2009! by then there will probably be a PSP2.
Im glad I didnt buy a PSP but it is annoying that there was a promised that wasnt delivered, that would be the first time for PD, GT4 with online anyone!
Oh and heres a pic just for a nostalgia trip..... Just keep praying guys!

I was one of those guys that bought it knowing it would be coming out! Now that it has been delayed again and again it is very frustrating. Thank goodness for fw 1.5 though. I would be dissapointed if I didnt have a fw 1.5 to do so many things with.

U have to remember that last time GT4 was delayed for many months but when it came out it was great.
Hopefully this will be the case with this.
Still though, it is getting silly now.

I'm someone thinking of getting either a NDS or PSP, and a GT game would make my decision a lot easier.
Having said that, I don't see a GT game being released on the PSP before late 2008 and maybe more realistically not till 2009. I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but guys read what doblocruiser posted above...

They admit that there will be no GT game on PSP until the PS3 version is out the door. So when will the PS3 version be out?
It's very sad, I don't understand why a PSP version is taking so long if it will essentially be a port of PS2's GT4?

ah my friends.... i do feel sorry for those who purchased a psp when it came out just for our beloved gran turismo. I have decided it would save me heartbreak as well as money if i waited until it actually came out. then i wouldn't have an expensive psp that i would do nothing with as gt1, 2, 3, 4 are the only games i play now as well as a little tt. As well i no longer follow when they are going to bring out new games. as soon as i see it on the shelf at game stop then i buy it. until then i don't even research it.
