Gran Turismo 5 Is 65% Complete, Apparently (But FFXIII Is Nearly Done)

So the official magazine you can pick up at the Tokyo Game Show not only lists every game on the floor, but some important details on those games. Like, how far they are from completion.

Now, note that these are just estimates, no doubt thrown together by publishers and the show's organisers to give people a rough idea how far off the games are. So they're not hard science.

SCEJ has their conference coming up in a couple hours. I'm sure we'll hear about GT5 then.

[poindat]

More like 20 minutes... Right?

Well either way, we're going to be hearing a lot about GT no doubt. Somehow I think it is a bit further along than this article wants us to believe.

[MattyF]

Totally. GTPlanet said all they have left to do is some testing and that may be the remaining 35%. I think the game will release this yr, tho.

[chaosatom]

lets hear this from gt guys themselves.

[Kaneda]

I thought Producer said that GT5 is almost complete.. and they can release whenever they want.. but they want to time to refine it..

[JonnyBadfinger]

even though im a 360 enthusiast and owner, the Grand Turismo franchise IS my favourite racing sim. I was looking forward to playing at my mates house come early 2010. but looks like thats still along way off.

Well when it does eventually release, they wont be able to compare it with Forza 3 since the game will be atleast a year old.

But seriously 65%!? thats either just a complete fabrication of the truth or they are just the slowest developers to grace the planet.

[saint_john_paul_ii]

i guess we wont be seeing GT5 this year.

EDIT: well, only %35 is apparently needed to finish production. So we could see it this year at the end of December.

[arsenal55]

its an estimate.. polyphony didnt put this down. we will know in a couple hours I guess

[sunil]

What happened to we can release it anytime? This seriously sucks !

[TheBrit]

If 65% is done and thats over the course of several years what makes you think that 35% more will be done in 3 months.

Sony just announced GT5 wont be out until at least March of 2010

one shining star is Forza-3 is already done, Gone gold and can be in your hands Oct 28th in the U.S!

[Narutone66]

I would rather play with the PSP version of GT than that. But thanks for the competition which made GT5 a better game than ever.

[ReviewsArePolitics]

If we don't see GT5 this year, that's an EPIC FAIL. 65% only?????? What the hell are they doing? But if that means ALL CARS will have damage and that GT5 will 1up every other racing game in every feature possible, then I could deal with that. I doubt they will though...

[MKV]

What happen to "we could release Gran Turismo any time"

[dustgavin]

"Now, note that these are just estimates, no doubt thrown together by publishers and the show's organisers to give people a rough idea how far off the games are. So they're not hard science"

Take the time to actually read the article before commenting. ;)

[Kleptic]

that was simply typical Japanese arrogance...I love PD, they make great games and definitely still 'own' that genre...but its always funny to hear big japanese developers/publishers saying how arrogant western devs are...then constantly shoot themselves in the foot...

the context of PD's statement may have been lost...as he possibly only meant that it could be released, but that it wouldn't be anywhere near what they wanted it to be yet...possibly just stating 'its already a top tier racer' or something...but yeah...just weeks later them saying how the damage modeling is 'very early' and that they would continue working with it; obviously states the game isn't as close to release as we were lead to believe...

1up's podcast around GDC still said they had 'confirmation of a major PS3 exclusive being released late in 2009'...and the hint for the title was Lee saying 'I can't wait to drive it' or something along those lines...so still maybe, but its not looking too bright if this is true...

[ReviewsArePolitics]

I agree, I read that later. I hope these estimates are wrong.

[dreamcast]

Honestly, I'm buying too many games this Fall, anyways... I wouldn't be upset if it got delayed.

[Noctis]

65%? hahahah
by the time gt5 releases, forza 4 will be out for the 720 ;)

[WMW]

and it will still be better then forza 4

[MKV]

Link?

/JK

[glennc]

so forza 4 is going to be worse than forza 3

[dragonyght]

its being baked to perfection so im not worry

[RememberThe357]

I can only dream...

[Aclay]

At E3 Kazunori said that they can release GT5 pretty much at anytime they wanted, so how is it just 65% complete? Unless Polyphony decided to move the game back a little further to update the damage modeling, I don't think it's that far off.

Also, some of these percentages sound a little fishy to me... 50% for Heavy Rain and it's coming out Early 2010? I think Heavy Rain is much further along than that because it was supposed to come out late this year.

[I did not murder him]

Yeah that's odd it's most likely due to FZA3 and its later builds. I just hope PD doesn't try to make the PS3 do things it can't so you guys get a solid game. z

I agree with #1 in the open zone.

[Ju]

Look, look. Which law is that ? Don't hurt a human ? Since when do you care about the PS3 ?

[Narutone66]

closet PS3 fan boy. That's why you see him/her/it spamming the PS3 thread trying to make all the xbox 360 fans look retarded.

[Chuck Norris KING]

polyphony are the laziest developers ever ..

[itchy18]

you should better watch this before saying that.

[glennc]

that honor goes to neversoft

[Goomba12]

The megaton of GT5 will be next year...im calling before May.

[Mr Patriot]

No matter when GT5 releases , its gonna be near to perfection ... u see very rare developers like PD that truly care about the word quality

[Sigh]

I could've sworn that polyphony digital just said that they could release GT5 anytime, well if timing is needed even more to perfect it, then let em perfect it, cause they're alotta haters being ignorant about GT5 and being in denial lately... Maybe its because of Turn10 studio's manipulating "DEFINITIVE DEFINITIVE I TELL YOU! BWAHAHAHAH!"

[I did not murder him]

He didn't say it was going to launch really soon it was PR talk saying the game is good enough to go gold trying to calm people that are becoming rabid with the wait.

[Sigh]

You're a 360 fanboy who hates Polyphony digital. Don't reason with me.

[chidori666]

release only in 2010 ¬.¬

[MKV]

than thats ok, I'll be fine with uncharted2 and MW2.

[Kleptic]

yeah I'll buy GT5 no matter when it releases...but I am not desperate for it this year or anything for sure...

[JonnyBigBoss]

I'm disappointed, but at the same time this could mean it will be even more of a megaton. I'll wait until official announcement.

[crazydrummerlad1]

WELL GOWIII is 60% done. dats less than gt5 n due out in march. so expect a release before march maybe for sure???

[Lelouch Vi Britannia]

" SCEJ has their conference coming up in a couple hours. I'm sure we'll hear about GT5 then. "

you mean there`s two keynote for sony, at what time ?

[NateNater]

I don't understand how a game that has been in production for 4 years is only 65% complete. I hope this is wrong because I really can't wait too much longer for this game. And I'm sure I'm not alone.

[negrito211]

you guys are idiots those numbers are not right, the creator of GT5 said they can release it at anytime. AND also remember he said it will release not long after gt psp. AND also he said its closer then we think.

and david cage said heavy rain is content complete. there just getting the bugs out and final testing etc.

[Blasphemy]

Ahhhh didn't want to hear that. Means no GT this year... that sucks.

[KilZoneGeneralStrife]

One to rival that they went from CGI at E3 to a playable demo at Gamescom.let the man work.let the man speak.I want to see a Forza 3 VS GT5 showdown

[ZombieAutopsy]

march 2010

[hm0uzy]

yp guys march 2010...

[DMasta718]

March 2010 and we dont know if its worldwide release. FUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[stonecold3]

we can hear more about gt5 if released this xmas well if not then march will come around quickly for everyone to buy gt5

[crazyturkey]

Gran Turismo 5
to be released on March 2010 in Japan.........don't know about World Wide release date?

[genkis300]

wait, didn't they say gt5 can release at any time now if they want to? why still 65%????

[Feral Gamer]

Didn't they say GT5 could be released at any time?

[beardpapa]

Well, it seems they could release it anytime.... but hey! They just got the SLS so that car's gonna have to be in the game. Companies could release games anytime they want... it's really up to you if you want more content, content as DLC, or a bug-free game. What's your pick?

[Angry Moth]

well heavy rain is in the polishing stage, not at 50% so these numbers are bs but i have no idea why the hell it is taking them so long to make this game. My excitment has totally gone at the moment; the release date has been a total buz kill. If turn 10 can make forza 3 in 2 years it shouldn't take poliphony 6 years to make gt 5, and I don't care how many diagrees I get

[DigitalAnalog]

If 65% wowed us already. Then the rest is all polish... Damage, Head-tracking, etc etc.

I'm glad they delayed it, they're not here to challenge Forza 3, they're here to make the "most" realistic driving simulator.

End statement.....

[free3sixty]

lol, and no Porsche in GT5 is an epic fail..

but but but 1000 cars, nascar, rally and so on, lol!

Also PD lists CARS IN GT5 like that: Mercedes S-class 320/ 400/ 500 as 3 cars, lol! Its the same car just with 3 diferrent motors.

Thats how you get 1000 cars :D

[Shnazzyone]

Because I really don't care. I find the whole GT series boring as hell unless you jack off to car magazines.

[popup]

Nothing will change the article writers views but I only can judge for myself and the track has way more detail in F3 than GT5P (although the palette is somewhat over saturated).

The Cars - no comparison. GT5 models and lighting create a photo-realism that I wish F3 had ( really, I do!) but all the customization will create a varied grid so maybe that will help:)

The tire simulation on F2 was good and I am looking forward to getting stuck into the third game.
