Sony claims "Release update" for the Gran Turismo 5 delay again

Shocking developments with the Grant Turismo 5 release date. News comes that the game has been delayed ... to just later sometime this year.

It seemed so unbelievable that Gran Turismo 5 would actually make it's November 2, 2010 release date. With all the recent news and videos of glitches and the ridiculous car flipping that just seems to auto correct you right-side-up and send you on your way.

Well guess what. DELAYED again. Gouki.com first saw this game in 2006 and E3. I played it, finished first and got a t-shirt. I remember this clearly Jimmy. Break into the turns and accelerate coming out.

So today news comes down from the Sony Blog, that Gran Turismo 5 has been delayed. Yet the game will be out this holiday season. Which could mean early January? Sony is very careful to not call this a "delay" but a "Release update." Release update heard.

From the Sony Blog:

"We can confirm that Gran Turismo 5 will not be available this November 2nd, but the game’s release will be coming this holiday season.

We sincerely apologize to GT fans for the delay, however, creator Kazunori Yamauchi and the team at Polyphony Digital want to make certain they are creating the perfect racing experience, and we are confident that this ambitious game will exceed expectations when it launches.

We’ll have more information for you in the near future."

This is also a game that Polyphony-Digital doesn't even list on their page of upcoming games. Irrelevant. Their post also just ends on the Sony Blog.
