"GT5 is still about a year away"

Chris Hinojosa-Miranda(Associate Producer, SCEA) sheds light on the release time for Gran Turismo 5.

[mighty_douche]

GT5p will keep me going till MotorStorm 2, then that will keep me going to GT5, then that will keep me going to MotorStorm 3, then that will keep me going to GT6p, then that.... well you get the point.

Loads of games out soon, prologue is fine for now.

[sonarus]

hahaha exactly same plan i have. GT5p till MS2 and then at that point i will juggle them inbetween
Keeping my eye out for grid though. Actually from what i hear there will be no GT6

[Maddens Raiders]

LMFAO

[Lifendz]

once the island is available and the in-game custom soundtracks come I can hold off until GT5. I know Prologue is a deep game but 40 bucks is kinda steep for a half game. I know you GT guys are more than happy with prologue but I think I'll wait to purchase GT5.

[kevoncox]

I've never been a fan of sims.
I understand why people like sim games but My Sc430 doesn't drive anyting like It does in raching games( i know i take it to the track)
I fear that GT5 wont be out till summer 09. The developers of /GT are almost never on time.

[fenderputty]

I hope it's a little less then a year then a little more though. Still ... I can't wait to see what another year of polish and content additions will do to what we've already seen.

[MikeGdaGod]

i wanted to wait until GT5 but since that will be my first GT game ever, i think maybe i'll get this to test out and get me ready for the full thing.

plus i think i'd rather be disappointed and pay $40 than being disappointed and pay $60 when the full game comes out.

i think i'll just download so i can have everything right on the system.

[Ju]

Well, ... , won't get boring I believe. I have 35 games in my gf queue. And that just includes titles released until 06/08. (well, and I own 22 others now). So, say, I give each about 2 weeks to play, that would keep me busy for more then a year - darn, and it doesn't even include the must haves (they are on my shopping list anyhow). Time, Time!

[TheExecutive]

looks like Q1 of '09.

[AlterEgo]

hopefully this will stop the retards from saying "OMFG WE HAVE TO PAY FOR A DEMO THEN TURN RIGHT AROUND AND PAY FOR THE REAL THING??!!?111?"

Its not "right around the corner". Theres' ample playtime between the release of both games, and plenty to do in GT5P so that it doesn't feel like a 'demo' as they put it.

GT5P now, GT5 later.

Think of GT5P as somewhat of a... "Prologue" to GT5.

[TheTerminator]

The P in GT5P stands for prologue =.=

[AlterEgo]

lmao. joke man...joke.

[btkadams]

now i understand, thank you for clearing that up.

[TheTerminator]

Would you gentlemen be interested in working for defence systems in the air force? you can make artificial intellegence and robots! R0000B000)TZ!!!!!

[PimpHandStrong]

if what i heard was right. I heard 800 cars

that would make for some real fun race events!

[PimpHandStrong]

GT5 might be the only GT on the PS3...Atleast till the end of its life

I think GT6 will be a launch game for the PS4 in 6-7 years. I could be wrong

[Radiomorph]

Depends if they want to milk out some more money by doing what they did with GT4.
Anyway, I hope they get it right this time. Previous games were waaay too unbalanced IMO.

[Angelitos]

Atleast it will add to the 2009 Ps3 lineup

FF13, FF13 verses, GT5, GODofWar3, the big ps3 game, Heavenly sword 2, Uncharted 2, next R&C, etc.

holy crap

[Iron Man 2]

That just means the 2009 lineup will be as powerful if not more powerful than the 2008 lineup for the PS3!

I can't wait to pick up my copy of GT5P and GTA IV(PS3) next month on Blu-Ray disc(hopefully lol if they both don't sell out)!;)

[eagle21]

I hope...lol :)

[Jack Meahoffer]

LOL or what? You got banned to the open zone where you belong you unabashed fanboy.

On topic... Without lobbies and in game chat GT5P is weak.

[ruibing]

@Jack
I don't think you're one to talk about staying on topic...

Now really back on topic, I'm glad the prologue is here, I am just about done with GT4. I wonder if learning to drive manual in GT will have any impact on driving that way in real life.

[resistance100]

'Without lobbies and in game chat GT5P is weak.'

Hey at least we know its coming

[OC Shock Value]

sounds pretty good.. that justifies my purchase of GT5p.. because i know the real deal wont be commin out for a good long time.. this is gonna be good for alot of ppl.. especially ppl like me that are growing tired of waiting for perfection

[Martini]

Sorry to rain on your parade but by the time GT 5 out you will be sick of playing the same game. Sounds like Polyphony bit off more then they could chew.

[deeznuts]

Hmm, nobody seem to be tired of playing GT HD then getting GT5P. People will still buy it, people love GT.

[mboojigga]

Makes you wonder why they didn't take the time they took to make this "demo" would it be out sooner rather than later.

[Rageanitus]

I can hear it already..... omgo why buy the demo when the game is just around the corner.

1) 1 year wait is still 1 year wait
2) gt5 prologue is has enough contend to make it 75 percent of a typical racer.

[TheTerminator]

Here Xbots, and nintendouches, let me save you the trouble

HA HA PS3 OWNERS! YOU STILL HAVE TO WAIT A YEAR

ANOTHER GAME DELAYED!

D3LAY B3YOND!

it can compete with forza!

i thought ps3s line up was the best?

lol owned, while we will be playing gears 2, youll be playing mgs4 all year long n00bs! OWNED

there, happy power of piss? happy jason? happy getpwnt? happy pp?

[Snukadaman]

Keep yourself busy playing that gt5 demo for a year....done.

[lalilulelo]

uhhh, since when was it delayed? there still working on it. the only delay was holidays 07 and i dont even think that was confirmed. even if they said holidays 07, i believe it was a long time from holidays 07, like at the beginning of the year...

[TheTerminator]

Im just saying what the Xbots and nintendouches will come here and say, its not my actualy opinion

[HarryEtTubMan]

Its going to have 900 cars LOL Go figure. I can't freaking wait.

You bots think 2008 is gonna be rought for you?? Just wait until 2009 when the PS3 is 250/300$ and has God of War III, 2 Final Fantasy 13 games, Gran Turismo 5 with damage and custimization and everything(top gear), 8 days, the Getaway, The Rockstar Exclusive(s), there is more BOTS. You will be owned. Playstation Home will be up and PSN will be ALOT better and everyone will know it. There a Syphon Filter game coming. Sony is about to begin and UNLEASH THE BEAST soon.... The first NUKE drops on your HOTbox on June 12. HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

PS3 has now begun it's never ending cycle of Xbox 360 Destruction.(teabagging)

[Martini]

WTF are you going to do with 900 cars ?? By the time you get to #10 you will be bored as it will be the same old shiat you have been playing for a year. Grid will own your demo and it is a full game hahaha.
The ps 3 is the biggest joke of this generations and yet the gullible fans find a BIG positive in all the bad news. Nice list there terminator.

[Wildarmsjecht]

So now people are criticizing the fact that it has too many cars? Seriously? Oh, and a Mutliplatform game will be better? The excuses are getting a hell of a lot more ridiculous.

[resistance100]

So the 728 cars in Gran Turismo 4 was too much? No?

Saying a game has too many cars, really does show your a bit worried. The more car's the better, the longer we can play the game.

[Glad to be a gamer]

Looks like 6 tracks and 71 veichles,no weather or damge will just have to be enough for PS3 only owners this year.I guess you should be grateful after last year.

Then again when you've been munching on dog food for most of last year i guess a bit of sausage must taste amazing.

"PLEASE SIR CAN I HAVE SOME MORE?" lol

On the plus side at least theres some thing else to now wait for ;)

Note to self: phew! almost got suckered into jumping the gun on buying a ps3. Wait till its got at least one full 90+ game before you even think about getting one. Use some of the money saved to get ssbb for your wii 95% metacritic wholesome long lasting goodness.

[Wildarmsjecht]

Yea....truly, we're missing out without having you to play with. I think you need to dance on over to the zone to the right. Seriously, you're talking an incredible amount of nonsense for someone who's "Glad to be a Gamer". Have fun playing your SSBB. I'll have fun with GT5:P. There, done with.

[ElementX]

If the cars don't have chainguns and launch missles, i'm not interested.

[Booyah]

Then... Twisted Metal ?.... wait...... you're gonna wait for it.

[Covenant]

Not surprising, given Polyphony's track record of always pursuing perfection. No doubt that this will be AAA when released.

[InMyOpinion]

No doubt. I'm curious to wether they will stick with the idea of selling the cars as DLC though. Would be cheap as f***.

[Angelitos]

How in the freak I got disagrees in my last post? I stated what is problably the PS3 line-up and I got disagrees?

[Covenant]

Don't take it personally...it's just N4G's Random Disagree Monster. It gets loose every once in a while. :)

[thekingofMA]

while i seriously doubt it, is it true that GT5 is supposedly the last in the franchise? i read that in an earlier comment somewhere

[PimpHandStrong]

but i thought i remember Snake Eater being the last of the MGS games..maybe im wrong

[Genki]

I just find the idea of paying $40 bucks for a less than half baked GT5 hard to stomach. It will have a fraction of the cars, maybe 3% of the content, and quite possibly inferior in the visuals and physics department.

I can't wait for this full version though. Never bought a wheel for a game before, but for this I'm considering it.

[PimpHandHappy]

you say this

quite possibly inferior in the visuals and physics department.

have you ever played a GT game? Thats what there known for! Unless what you mean by physics is the physics of a bent bumper

i hear 1080p and 60FPS

sounds like a looker and if you played the demo you would know it is

[Genki]

and I have both the GTHD and Japanese PSN Prologue demos.

When I say that, it's more of a compliment to PD, because if GT5 is a year away, then I EXPECT the graphics, physics, and content of the full version game to be better than this preliminary release we have now.

To suggest that the final game would be anything less or similar to Prologue somewhat baffles me.

[Jamaicangmr]

GRID? Thats the new line of defence for you guys? So Forza and PGR4 couldn't do it huh?

[Martini]

Until I can buy GT5 for 360 grid will have to do :). BTW as pretty as GT 5 looks, the grid video gets my blood flowing a lot more then any GT5 videos i have seen so far. How's the waiting going ?

[zapass]

SEVERE defense mode...
the collective is in PANIC mode!

it's judgment day for the xbaboons and it's fun to watch em poop themselves like little cokroaches surrounded by fire.

c'mon kiddikiddies, make us laugh, get creative with your denial, entertain us, sure you're strong and brave little cokroaches!
here's a crumb before you fry, go for it!

[Jamaicangmr]

WOW! Your really deliousional aren't you? I just find it so funny how the competition went from. Forza 2 then PGA4 and now GRID a unproven MULTIPLATFORM (i.e: also available on the PS3)racing game. Now if that doesn't scream desperation i don't know what does.

What waiting are you talkin about son? GT5:P drops next month.

[ApocalypseShadow]

but before i explain it,i'm just letting you know.....

"i'm getting it april 17."I downloaded GTHD.I downloaded the GT5 demo from the japanese store.i love it.and the music just "FITS" perfectly.

but those that are waiting for the full game will be disappointed.

GT5P "IS" GT5.all you're going to be waiting for is all the content on one 50 to 100gig disc that "WILL HAVE ALREADY BEEN" released from now until they believe they are done in installments.and even then,they will still release more content.

some of you don't remember,but alot of gamers complained about sony releasing GTHD in parts.and "you the gamer" deciding what you wanted to buy.but they canned the project(GTHD).but not the idea.there will be packs released later with more cars,more tracks,etc.for a price.sony hasn't changed what they originally were going to do anyway.GT5 will be spread over this whole year.the "P" is just part 1.subsection A-E.

"so you might as well buy it now."

because it will be the same content you will see throughout the year with a "FEW" surprises leading up to that "ONE" disc.and it lets sony test it's online servers in the process.

get GT5P now,the best "driving simulator out there."

megaton................

[Genki]

Nobody related to Sony in any fashion has EVER said anything similar to what you just did. Where did you get the idea that PD would just release add-on content for Prologue as they went along?

Maybe I'm reading that wrong, but a big clue to why you're probably wrong is that the true resolution for Prologue isn't quite 1080p. It's not 16:9 anyway, I can't remember the exact resolution.

[ElfShotTheFood]

It's not like PS3 fans aren't used to waiting forever for anything good to come out.

[WIIIS1]

You're assuming it will be good. Forza 3 should be coming out right around then maybe.

It is really sad being only a PS3 owner. You keep on waiting. Funny thing is, people console themselves by saying they're waiting for perfection.

[Genki]

Most of your cronies either got wise, left, or both...so what are you two doing?

Once again reminding us that you folks wear your insecurity on your sleeve, you condemn these games that you allegedly have ZERO interest in, as if you're trying to convince yourselves(I assure you that you're not convincing anyone else).

Don't you all know by now that the stupidity you spew falls on deaf ears? By now, well over two yeas into this gen, you surely must, yet you haven't moved on to your next trivial hobby. Why bother?

Go peddle your petty little crusades to people who care(i.e. your extremist associates), because nobody here does. Don't try to pull the "I don't care what people think" card either, because you wouldn't be here on a public form arguing the point.

[RobertGonz69]

Too many great games and not enough time.

[GETPWNT]

ROFLMAO!!!!!! WAIT B3YOND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111 11 HAHAHahahAHAHaaHAHA

[InMyOpinion]

The most important thing is that they are not rushing it but releasing it when it's done. Maybe this is a sign that they will implement damage modeling?

[resistance100]

To Be fair Polyphony have NEVER rushed a game, they delayed GT4 by 15 months

[knucklebusster]

Just hope the add car damage.

[green]

seems,thats when i will be buying a ps3.

[Glad to be a gamer]

Unless there is another aaa game this year that isnt mgs4. I just dont wanna be put in the same boat as some of these guys. £300 is alot of money for a ticket to a boat that may be delayed for months.

Im waiting till the goods are out on the shelves instead of believing that if Sony say a game/feature is coming this year than it definately is.

[jinn]

its all about graphics, but no game

[sleepyk]

just like forza, but less graphics and game.

[level 360]

Actually it's between 9 to 10 months away, give or take.

Which does'nt bother me one bit, got my GranTurismo 5: Prologue today here in Australia ( very first day of release { 27th March } and already have an update... ).
And then there's Motorstorm: Pacifica, then GRID which would also take my time away whilst waiting for the Full Version GranTurismo 5.

So no problems in waiting whatsoever here.
