To be honest I don't care how long they take. The quality of this game is going to be worth every single minute that I've waited for it and I know this.

This. I patiently waited for Metal Gear Solid 2 years ago, and when I had it in my hands, it was so worth the wait. :)

The waiting time for MGS2 is nowhere near close to GT5's

I know, I was just using it as an example for me. At the moment, the waiting between GT4 and GT5 is gonna be twice as long as it was between MGS and MGS2. :p

:p

:laugh:

And damn, I completely forgot that they're putting a track builder into this. I'm scared to think about how many hours I'm going to sink in to this game when it comes out (assuming I haven't succumbed to old age before then).

Alright, Playseat ordered along with my wheel, now I just need this damn game. F1 will surfice until I can get a used one but can not get a used one until it is released. Anyone here using a Playseat? I watched every review I could find, gets great remarks. I ordered the Forza one (Shutter) but it looks the nicest IMHO.

Sony Australia "Guarantees" Gran Turismo 5 By Christmas

christmas-guarantee.jpg

In a knowing nod to those of us anxiously awaiting GT5's new release date, Sony Australia has announced a new 3D TV / PlayStation 3 promotional bundle – which includes a copy of Gran Turismo 5 – with "guaranteed delivery by Christmas".

Here's how it works: buy a new Bravia 3D TV, be one of the first 21,000 people to submit your proof of purchase to Sony, and you'll have a new 160GB PS3, two pairs of 3D glasses, two 3D Blu-Ray movies, four PS3 game download vouchers, and one copy of Gran Turismo 5 delivered to your house before December 25th. If you're an Australian in the market for a 3D television set, it sounds like a pretty good deal to me – get the details here.

Yes, Sony already told us GT5 would be here in time for the "holiday season" when they first announced its delay, but this should be reassuring to those of you who are understandably skeptical. I'd also like to reiterate that some of the retailer dates you're seeing across the web and your local game store mean nothing – they're simply placeholders to make customers feel comfortable pre-ordering the game with that particular store. When the real date is announced, it will be news to all of us.

Thanks to Damian for the tip!

CAR: The tie-up with Red Bull Racing sounds very exciting. Was it your idea to approach Adrian Newey to design a unique race car?

Kazunori Yamauchi: 'This was an idea that I had kept to myself for several years. The concept for achieving the "Fastest Car on Land" was already set prior to this, and the design for the car was being worked on within Polyphony. But my next thought was that if we were to create this, that we would want to work together with an experienced racing car designer. If possible the best in the world, the "Real Deal" so to speak. And thanks to Red Bull, a path connecting us to Adrian was opened for us.

'I can't forget how nervous I felt when we went to Red Bull Racing in Milton Keynes and presented the model we designed to Adrian for the very first time. I had fully expected to be scolded, that he would tell us that "this is a useless piece of junk". But Adrian was actually interested in our sketches and our modelling, and liked the design. And he proceeded to give us finely detailed, wonderful advice that only Adrian would know. He also presented us with a great technical concept that is prohibited in the world of F1 within which Adrian normally resides, the X1 Prototype.'

How did you find working with him and are you pleased with the way the X1 turned out?

'Adrian is a person that can understand the simple facts, that something beautiful, is just simply beautiful, without question. He did not seem like a hard-headed engineer type, rather, he was an artist. The communication between Adrian and myself was very smooth and exciting. It was something like an improvisation between two jazz musicians. Through that session with Adrian, I was endowed with this priceless experience, like that of a student being given confidence from a teacher or a mentor.'

Expectation is huge for GT5. Are you confident the new game will satisfy fans of the game?

'I'm glad that expectations are high, but of course that brings some pressure at the same time. The final objective of Gran Turismo is always to answer to the expectations of the users, and furthermore, to exceed those expectations. It would make me very happy if we're able to satisfy fans, and at the same time surprise them.'

The car looks pretty good. Worst part, they need to expose the wheels. Granted, the it's for aerodynamic, and it's part of the vacuum they are creating with the wheel blades, but it makes the car look worse than it should.
