More Gran Turismo 5 Release Date Confusion

27
Here's an excerpt from the article

"GTPlanet monitors news about Gran Turismo on a daily basis. It's interesting to watch how a story 'evolves' across the web, but when a 'bad' piece of news makes the rounds, misinformation can spread far and wide. That's exactly what happened with an old Kazunori Yamauchi interview by Import Tuner. The interview was significant because Yamauchi mentioned a 2010 release date for Gran Turismo 5. It's not too exciting, though, because that's what he was saying 5 months ago. GTPlanet has been referenced in many comments by folks who are trying to correct the journalists and bloggers jumping on the 'news', so let's take a look at how everything went down"

And before people report this for "improper title" as per N4G posting guidelines ~

"So do not edit the original title or create your own headlines unless the original doesn’t make any sense when posted on N4G"

So since the original title only confuses the situation more (as the main article is MEANT to clear up misinformation that was started from here @ N4G) it is well within the guidelines for this news...

1.2 - Read your own submitted article
@ Oner

Ummm the article doesn't start with OXCGN as the source...if you read my comment below you'll see the link (or if you read the actual article you have submitted above?) it gives the actual source that then seemed to go to Gamegrep, THEN OXCGN, then the rest. But don't let facts stand in your way, because they are an Xbox site....

A site that has articles about how the PS3 graphics will overtake 360 next year, or has MGS4 as their top rated game, or has said that the 360 AND PS3 both need to survive for proper competition....Just scroll down the site's home page and you'll see what I'm pointing out.

Anyway, there's so many great games coming out next year on the PS3, I'm not too worried if GT comes until 2010 or not. It's hard enough to afford the ones I want for both the 360 and PS3. Bring on the Heavy Rain!

@ Oner

That's a much better intro and excerpt...kudos for changing it to be more accurate. Good find too; the story is a good investigation into what happened.

After this, I think that Xbox OXCGN site has learned their lesson to just stick with reporting on 360 racers like Forza, PGR, and Race Pro tand not being worried about the status of Gran Turismo 5 on the PS3.

If Yamauchi laughed off a 2010 release in a more recent interview, then I'm pretty sure GT5 will be released in 09' in at LEAST one territory. Right now I still think that GT5 will come out Late 2009 in Japan and then early 2010 for the U.S. and Europe, but I really hope that it's released in all 3 territories in 2009.

They got the hits they wanted. OXCGN is where the internet is heading, a whole bunch of bs blogs and "news" sites just looking to get hits to make money.

@ sretlaw

So what will you say if it doesn't get released in the US in 2009? We really don't know what will happen and there's no guarantee it will be out this year, even if he said it will (he says whatever whenever it seems).

I think it will, or fans should get angry. But he may adopt the famous: "when I think it's done it's done" phrase and release it later. And maybe release another 'demo' to sell. The game will still sell, so what's his worry?

It seems to be this article ( http://www.importtuner.com/... which has caused all the confusion, as reported by the above story (which has a timeline).

All very interesting anyway, and I look forward to seeing when the game is actually released.

GT5 is a multiplat title.

But it isn't.

So what's their purpose ?

To be honest, I don't think it will make it in 2009. The same as God of War 3. I see both of them landing shelves in Q1 or Q2 of 2010. I may be wrong though, lets see.

9 - It will be released
when it's ready. Kazunori Yamauchi is a perfectionist, unlike some other developer who rush out a game full of glitch (GeoW2). And please to all the xbox fans, don't compare this game to your beloved Forza. That game is just a second-rate arcade game trying to imitate GT5.

10 - So that site is basically calling OXCGN and the N4G poster ignorant...
... and when I see certain factual N4G articles fail and moronic ones pass, I can't say I blame that site entirely.

From OXCGN's update:

"It’s obvious that the site (Import Tuner) did not do the correct thing and even date their interview or timeline it with their published issue.

So for all intents and purposes, one could reasonably assume that if they posted a recent item, that it did in fact only happen recently, not 5 or even 7 months earlier."

I think the article above shows how old news got re-ignited and passed around the net, not how one site was ignorant. Again, have a read of the link above I provide for the original source or from the article above which shows a possible timeline.

Also a poster on OXCGN has said this:

"A little clarification on how this mess started. The article was first posted on ps3center.com
http://www.ps3center.net//n...
(it is removed now, but the URL tells you what the article was) with the date in the article. it was was fairly new and linked back to the import tuner website which had no date as to when the interview was posted. The interview was then posted on game Grep going on the date that was provided from ps3center as new. The article was then posted on oxcgn.com, which made its way to n4g and so on. So I think the main reason why this all started was that import tuner did not place a time date on their interview, thus confusing ps3center and causing a chain reaction. So no site is really to blame (unless you want to blame import tuner)"
