No Official Release Date For Gran Turismo 5 For Everywhere But North America

From iGame Report:
"Gran Turismo 5 available in North America and Latin America on November 2nd" Jack Trenton himself said this, and to me this is a huge disappointment, as the European region is a huge sales region for the game. As well as the Japanese regions......annoying I know, but at least we have a whole heap of new information on the game.

Update From iGame: Have gotten reply back from SCEA(Australia) and they have told me that it has no release date for GT5 available. They have given me a window of November though so it is hopeful that it will launch close to the NA release date.

Historically, Europe would get it a couple of months later... but release dates haven't been too bad this gen, I still expect the 5th November, at the latest, for UK.... but, with it being such a big game, worldwide release maybe?

Worst case?

Importing.

TheDopeFiend5101d ago (Edited 5101d ago )

There's more GT fans living in Europe, its the one game we've all been waiting for, hopefully it wont be released long after the US release

The GT series is the reason i've always been a PlayStation owner, it's the only series i buy on the day its comes out

MUCH looking forward to it

Megahurtz19865100d ago

Just order from America and import to Europe.

St05100d ago

I wouldn't be surprised if Japan got it before US. Not sure about Europe, could be before US, could be after

Sitris5101d ago

oh well who really cares about how well it sells right? :P

Shadow Flare5101d ago

i seem to remember reading before that Kaz Yamauchi would like to do a worldwide same day launch. Though that was months ago, things might have changed. Its bound to come around the november time though. They'd be stupid to release it after xmas

Ilikegames765101d ago

that it's the other way around. Europe and Japan/Asia will probably get it earlier, since Europe tend to sell a lot for the GT franchise.

ryuzu5100d ago

I was hoping they might launch in Japan sooner than November so I could import it :)

They must have thought they were close to release when they set a date for March/April eaerlier this year....

Triella5100d ago

Wait for Gamescom for the release date, I bet Europeans will get it in October and Japan will get it end of November.

shadow27975100d ago

I believe on IGN Live that they just said it will release worldwide in November. So I wouldn't expect a difference of more than a couple weeks for any territory.

I'll have to wait for it to be uploaded for me to double check that.

according to EU PS Blog, they said November 2010 but no actual day.

http://blog.eu.playstation....

James Gallagher (EU PS Blog)said this "At current this is showing details for America. I’m currently chasing concrete details for Europe and will update the post accordingly. I’m also changing the release date to November and will update that when I have full confirmation. Apologies for any confusion."

Sitris5101d ago

any where other than NA which is why i hope it is in November, they are just updating the release window, no official release date

Megahurtz19865100d ago (Edited 5100d ago )

I'll be getting this day one no question. Straight to online mode so I can move up in the ranks early. NOVEMBER 2ND HURRY UP

UnSelf5100d ago (Edited 5100d ago )

trust me if you want this game you'll make sure you'll GET this game

solsub5100d ago

First day buy for me :)

Great time to be both a car enthusiast and PS3 owner :):)

Forget Elder Scrolls 6, Skyrim Can Easily Be Made Into A Next-Gen Game

ScreenRant's Stephen Tang writes, "The Elder Scrolls 6 won't be releasing for a while, and in the meantime, the modding community has been making Skyrim into a next-gen game."

That’s just laughable to me. I think they’ve squeezed all they can out of an 12 year old game

mastershredder6h ago

"Easily" because they see mods, says the gamer. To heck with licensing, terms agreements conditions, etc. all you need to do is belive in mods. Yeah, so real superficial BS yo.

The Status of Every PlayStation Franchise

Sony owns a fair few iconic franchises - many dating right back to the original PlayStation. But while we’re pretty familiar with the likes of ongoing series such as God of War, Horizon, and Gran Turismo, there are plenty of PlayStation franchises that haven’t seen the light of day in a long time. So in this video, we’re going to be taking a look at the status of PlayStation’s many IPs, and checking in on when we last heard from them.

A 20+ minute video? Just include the written list in the article.

Status in one word:

Underutilized.

The end.

anast17h ago

Which ones should they utilize more?

BehindTheRows16h ago

Indeed. We hear this “underutilized” talk as if every old franchise should have a comeback or reboot.

I_am_Batman15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

When new IPs start looking like Concord, you can't blame people for wanting another Resistance or Killzone instead.

anast14h ago(Edited 14h ago)

J&D and Resistance are good ones. As much as I love these, though, I'm not sure they would payoff without an enormous marketing push. Younger gamers today do not have taste and the older gamers that would appreciate these might not be enough. But yeah, I would day 1 Resistance.

Well that’s just the consequence of consistently producing new IPs isn’t it. Not all studios can be or want to be like polyphony digital who made gran turismo all the time.

Abear2115h ago

Here lies The Infamous Series; once a shining beacon of free flying, lighting bolt sniping, and wire riding amazing gameplay, it has been laid to rest and be forgotten for what seems like forever despite being loved by millions. Plot next to Wipeout across from NBA Jam.

Lightning7712h ago

Still baffling they cancelled Twisted Metal, Factions 2 and Spider-Man Multiverse LS game but thought Concord looked good enough.

Chocoburger11h ago

Ape Escape, Parappa / Lammy, Gravity Rush, good times. Always hoping for them to make a return, or at least similar type games, such as the newly-announced Astro Bot, but one game isn't enough. Bring back the joyfulness of the 90's era of gaming.

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.

And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.

I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.
