Well, we can put all the rumor-mongering to rest. Reader Larry Spector emailed us this morning with confirmation that Gran Turismo 5 will hit the shelves (and obliterate the productivity of thousands of PS3 owners) on December 29. Is Larry a sneaky Sony employee? Nope, he's a regular Amazon user like the rest of us, and today, GT5 showed up as a Gold Box item for him. The pre-order page now features the release date, so wives, girlfriends, and other assorted family members expecting holiday togetherness can now formally make plans to leave us alone as we spiral into full-on, anti-social gamer mode the week between Christmas and New Year's Day. Though, we have to say -- releasing the game before Christmas might have been the smart move, guys. Regardless, order's been placed. What're you waiting for?

oldschoolsilvia · 09-19-2009, 10:45 PM

May finally be time for me to get myself a PS3 then? Haha been putting it off for this!

Greg3Sileighty · 09-20-2009, 12:47 AM

well that shit better be on point cause forza is pretty much kicking there ass right now!

DRIFTER-M · 09-20-2009, 01:03 AM

Sony has said they aim to have it out this year, and they have been pretty solid on that statement.

I have heard end of November, and I have heard end of December.

I do truelly believe it will be out this year though. And this game will be amazing.

THAT ALL BEING SAID,

A release date of early next year would not suprise me one bit. I mean, technically between December 29 and January1 is only a couple day span, so it would not be that much of a stretch.

Again though, keep this in mind. From what I am hearing, it will be out this year.

Time will tell...

murda-c · 09-20-2009, 01:27 AM

so close to being able to get it for christmas lol

DJ PoW · 09-20-2009, 04:33 AM

FORZA is a much better game imo.

superbike81 · 09-20-2009, 05:11 AM

So you are rating Forza against a game that's not out yet? Cool.

Yeah dude, that's just ignorant. The last GT you have to compare it with is what, 6 years old? Prologue don't count.

Why?

When you let me know that with solid reasons then i'll take your statement into consideration. Forza is just a cheap sim made to appeal to more mainstream gamers.

Wait!

Forza is a sim? News to me...

Game feels more arcadeish than Dave and Busters.

Nothing against it, it is fun in it's own way, I just never bought into the hype "sim" title given to it. I believe it got that because Xbox needed something to compete with Gran Turismo, not because it is actually sim. Game just feels mad arcade. It is like a step up in realism from Need For Speed: Underground, but about 10 steps below Gran Turismo.

All that being said, everybody is entitled to their opinion. I do not want anyone to confuse me saying this with me bashing Forza, again, it is fun in it's own ways. I simply do not justify it as a sim as most do. If anything, it is arcade-sim.

I rented Prologue and I thought it was the most boring racing game I've ever played. I hope this is nothing like it.

Ali 556 · 09-21-2009, 08:36 AM

GT 2 3 And 4 were nice...Very nice....The thing about forza 2 if you ask me...on GT you can't fell the upgrades only the Engine Upgrades can be felt...Hell a 1027PS R34 Is hella fast but in the corner it felt like a Shoe box,

And Forza is not that far away either....The tire Spin In Forza Is WAY over kill...A Stock Hennessey Viper Spin All the Way to the 6th gear WTF,

I'm Waiting for GT more that Forza...the View on th menu the interface you actually have s garage and you can see you car park in it.

the stupid thing about GT is the license when you will spend like 5 hrs only playing for the damn license..that pure Bordem for me

BTW i've finished 88% of Forza2 And around 94% of GT4 (IIRC)
