*exitspeed* · 11-19-2004, 08:55 AM

I know this is like my 3 opic about this, but now it's official. We aren't gonna see GT4 til the 1st quarter of next year.

In a statement released by Sony Computer Entertainment America this morning, the U.S delay of Gran Turismo 4 was officially authenticated.

"The release of Gran Turismo 4, originally set for December 14th, 2004, will change to the first quarter of calendar year 2005," said Ron Eagle, Public Relations Manager, SCEA. "With Gran Turismo 4, the company is
committed to providing consumers with the most complete racing game built
to date. Natural challenges with finalizing all the key features and
localization issues across worldwide territories have led to the difficult
choice of pushing back the release date in order to ensure that Gran
Turismo 4 lives up to the exacting standards of the 36 million-plus fans
worldwide that have purchased previous versions of our best-selling
franchise."

Eagle continued, "The Gran Turismo series has helped to define car culture and its fans have come to expect superior attention to detail combined with revolutionary technology that delivers unmatched graphics, realistic car physics, and an authentic racing experience that exceeds any previous racing title. Sony Computer Entertainment America is steadfast in our commitment to producing a superior product and is confident that the launch of Gran Turismo 4 will set a new benchmark for all other racing games to follow. With the history of the franchise and high consumer anticipation, Gran Turismo 4 still serves as an important part in Sony Computer Entertainment America's upcoming first party lineup."

KiDyNomiTe · 11-19-2004, 10:30 AM

I'm gettin NFSU regardless, its fun to play a game and not have to worry about anything but just being crazy

. Played a little of it yesterday, and it looks a lot better. But I still got GTA to finish...

**Phlip** · 11-19-2004, 11:25 AM

I bought, and was going to buy anyway, Need For Speed Underground 2, seeing as how I have ALL of the other Need For Speed games before it... I can't say that it surprises me that GT4 for pushed back, and I am kinda expecting that this won't be the last time, since we have watched the sumbitch fall from May '04 now to "first quarter '05"

SimpleSexy180 · 11-19-2004, 12:54 PM

GT4 IS going to get

by FORZA

*sykikchimp* · 11-19-2004, 01:19 PM

FORZA?
(edit: nevermind.. I found it.. http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2639076

Looks pretty cool. Kinda like GT meets NFSU)

I'm sure they have a good reason for missing the christmas rush. It's probably gonna cost them BIG TIME.

240trainee · 11-19-2004, 01:33 PM

I just dunno. A guy that works at the local suncoast said he is also and editor for Grassroots motorsports mag, said he had a pre release of the game, and was reviewing it. That meaks me think it was done. I guess not.

It is "done". They had a party for is a couple weeka ago. But they must be waiting to implement the online play. Oh well we just have to wait....

And no Forza is not gonna own GT4. Just wait til that gamecomes out and see how much it's actually gonna suck.
