Crap, they don't ship to Canada.

Racists!

 

[vulva]

so the game has shown up in some places, no one can buy it, there's no release date, still debatable if the game is being shipped anywhere. Basically nothing can be proven about the game existing other than some youtube videos?


I really don't understand this at all

You seem to understand it very well.

I suppose you could say Sony/PD have been consistent like that, at least.

 

[prelude514]

Racists!

Tell me about it! If I had more confidence in them I'd try using a service like Bongo that deals with this type of stuff. Ah well.

 

[AlphaSnake]

This is the most unbearable gaming shit I've ever had to go through. Even the PR guys at Sony can't give me a straight answer. Christ!

:lol :lol Good one.

 

[Lion Heart]

I come home from work, takes me like 3 hours to catch up on this thread, play like 10 minutes of demons souls and go to bed. Rinse repeat until I get the game.

I was suppose to use this time to play games I wont be able to after GT5 releases but I keep reading this thread! GT5 consumes all.

 

[scandisk_]

GT5 is an ILLUSION. HOHOHOO.

 

[Mobius 1]

This thread is like a physical manifestation of severe GT withdraw.

 

[Tashi]

Are we looking at a 2010 release?

 

[torontoml]

Is there a date yet for that Madrid launch party?

 

[AdvanS13]

Are we looking at a 2010 release?

only for special people atm

 

[The Elite]

Are we looking at a 2010 release?

People already have the game. I'd like to think that means yes.

I'd like to think that.

I'd like to think that.

That was my logic.

 

[Forbiden]

That was my logic.

The problem is that GT5 does not follow any sort of logical patterns

 

[verbum]

Is there a date yet for that Madrid launch party?

Looks like the first of December worldwide

Also, GT5’s big Madrid launch party has a new date of November 24th/25th. As you may recall, the launch party was first scheduled for October 26th/27th. Considering the party was to be held exactly one week before the game’s intended worldwide launch, a release during the week of November 29th – December 3rd is beginning to look extremely likely. This release window aligns perfectly with what I’ve been told before and Sony’s own retail outlet, SonyStyle, who lists a launch date “on or around” November 30th for the game. Regardless, it’s becoming clear we don’t have much longer to wait.

Fixed.

GT5 was conceived and born in the depths of a black hole. A place were the very laws of our universe break down into a dark hazy fog. It both exists, and non-exists, at the same time, in the same particle and moment of time-space. Seen by it's zealots, yet denied by it's creators, it remains as elusive as it is persistent.

I just called them and they said that they really do have it in stock. I've placed an order for it and they say that it'll ship out in 10 days.

dude over on the ps forum says they will ship it in two days

[AdvanS13]

Fixed.

Differences between standard and premium cars:

Looks like the standard ones are basically the GT4 cars in HD:

 

[Psychotext]

I'll never unsee that. =/

 

[DECK'ARD]

I bet the wrong version has been burnt after all.

Sony only found out after looking at the leaked videos. That would be the next (il)logical GT5 thing to happen.

 

[Pterion]

:lol

 

[Y2Kev]

The standard car looks so lulululu but really I'll never even see it so I don't care.

 

[mercenar1e]

I played a bit of GT5 in the NYC Playstation Store, it felt so good but i left PISSED

Spoiler

THAT I COULDN'T BRING IT HOME! DAMN YOU SONY!

:lol

 

[Yoboman]

That's a standard car? I thought it was Premium

Shows how little the difference actually is

 

[mr_nothin]

Its BEEN known that standard cars are straight from GT4. Doesnt change the fact that they dont look as bad as people tend to want to believe. I would have never realized that it was a standard car if it wasnt for someone pointing it out. (seriously)

I ordered the game. I'll let you guys know what happens.

I hate to say anything bad about our friends with the game, but uploading videos takes time and that´s probably why we has few and far in between, but, how about some questions answered?

You know, a blog post, a forum post, just some short answers for some objective questions.

Did he saw any new track with the days passing?
Used car lot, does it have all the standards?
Do you get points to level up?
Damage, does it really play a part on the game?
Options menu, what´s interesting there?

You know, simple but usefull stuff like this. I think it would be better than a new video showing stuff that we already know/seen.

An idea to throw to our czech friends.

 

[mr_nothin]

To which I counter:

Everytime I see this gif I swear it's the batmobile riding through the streets of Gotham City.

 

[Psychotext]

Seems really odd that no-one has done any night / rain footage for Youtube. I think it'd be the first thing I'd do.

The lack of quality videos/ information despite the game clearly being in the wild makes this feel like a planned leak.

No I mean literally Night / Rain. SSR7.

 

[gutterboy44]

Now that it has passed 48 hours, it does seem a bit odd at how few videos there are. The revealed content seems pretty restrained considering the enormity of this game.

Viral marketing

 

[Juicy Bob]

Viral marketing

Possibly. But why would GT5 need that? If that's what they are doing, all they've succeeded in doing is annoying the millions of us that were going to buy it anyway.

Because an executive somewhere heard of it and decided to throw in how he thought GT5 should be marketed and the lemmings followed.
