    This is getting laughable. This game looks AWESOME...I thought it had an outside shot of getting released last christmas, but 3 weeks from it's release and it gets bumped AGAIN? I JUST pre-ordered the damn thing. They claim it will still be out by Christmas....we'll see....

    If it’s delayed 3 weeks from release then it’s probably a showstopper bug. Don’t worry about it.

    Yes, so I thought you were putting emphasis on the word. As in we should take notice that you were actually going to buy it.

    Had you said "I can't wait to 'buy' this," I wouldn't have said anything. :tongue2:

    Now that some are 3D and/or Move enabled I'll likely be getting most multi-plat games with such features on PS3. :lol:

    No, Nov 2nd was the first time they ever announced as an official release date. This is technically the 1st delay.

    stupid question Pete.....can you play 3-D games on a non 3-D TV....for instance are they going to start making just 3-D only games or will they be formatted to adjust to non-3D depending on the TV....?

    They won't really make 3D only games for any foreseeable future. They would never shut out the majority.

    A few tidbits on this game........

    -Over 1,000 cars

    -Night Driving (YES!)

    -Weather Effects (Look FANTASTIC)


    -Track Editor...now, this isn't a build-from-scratch track editor..but you'll get to pick a scene and tell it to generate certain types of tracks at certain portions. They deemed the build it from scratch option too complicated.

    -Car Damage (FINALLY)
    Now, this one takes some discussing however..there's a lot of misinformation going around. There are 1000+ cars in the game...but of those 1,000 only 200 will be "premium" cars. I take this to mean that these are the cars that have been built from scratch (many of the cars seem to be updated from previous versions....not that I car, just sayin)

    There are 3 levels of damage
    1. Performance damage...ALL cars will take this
    2. Dirt, Scratches, Dents....ALL cars will take this damage
    3. Dislodging/deformation of panels...ONLY premium cars will take this kind of damage

    This game is a HUGE undertaking, and I think it is unreasonable to assume that they could put deformations in for 1,000 cars. So as it stands damage is in the game and WILL affect your driving across all types of cars.....but just the premium cars will have big dents and flying parts.

    Supposedly the game was shipping with FW 3.41, and Sony wanted to be sure anyone who got it got FW 3.50. While this only delays the game by a week (max) as far as programming goes, the manufacturing delay could be much longer due to slots already being filled by other media/software.

    The newer ones wont be much good however unless someone comes up with a way of decrypting games built on SDK 3.42 an higher. Sony implemented new keys for games on 3.42 and up so the current hacked 3.41 systems couldn't decrypt them.

    I'm sure someone will figure it out but we may be waiting for a while. :yes:

    I pre-ordered it at best buy. It comes with $5.00 gift certificate (500 rewardzone points), and an exclusive in-game GTR (the car I'm most amped to play in the game). Amazon has a different car and you get $10 off, but you have to wait for delivery correct?

    Live from the Internet.
    That would be hilarious.
    Sean White skateboarding got recalled the moment it got shipped out. We would receive em, throw a new sticker on em and ship them right back.

    i remember reading about this game being delayed before i even got a ps3.
    now, looking through the paper work i got with my ps3, all the game ads were for 07 games.
    yea this has been getting pushed back a little too much. its ridiculous. like that guns n roses album, 13 years in the making.

    When a game is RTM it’s usually a couple of weeks from release.

    The rumored November 30 date sounds about right.

    it only weighs in at 20GB. Being downloaded right now. Thought it would be bigger. Not that the game isn't big (game play wise).... But GOW3 was way bigger.

    IGN gives it an 8.5, says that it’s a 10/10 driving sim trapped in a 5/10 game. Whatever that means.

    This will sell a million copies overnight.

    The IGN review is penalizing it for being a Sim basically, which is ******ed.

    I finally got my copy and it's installing. I showed up at Gamestop at 10:02 and somehow was the 4th person in line (the 3rd who wanted GT5). The middle aged woman in front of me took 26 minutes to check out. She had to buy little Timmy a 360 and Halo Reach and therefore had to play 20 questions with the guy working at the store who barely seemed to know anything himself. Then after she already checked out and paid she decided she needed to get a ****ing headset too. Arrrrghhhh!!

    I went into Best Buy because I use that rewards zone BS. I asked the guy there if GT5 was here and he told me "No it doesn't come out until the very end of the year"

    So I drove to Gamestop and they had it. >.<
