Were you one of those people that skipped
Prologue to wait for the full version of
Gran Turismo 5? Get ready to wait. In an interview with
Joystiq,
Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi stated that the full version of
GT5 "might not even roll out before 2010." Instead,
Prologue will continue to be expanded upon, with additional cars, tracks and features. In fact, a new update is planned for the "near future." The big question we have though is: will it be free?
Perhaps
Gran Turismo 5 would wrap up production a bit sooner if Yamauchi and crew wasn't so adamant about filming an entire series for
Gran Turismo TV. Have fun driving those Ferraris Yamauchi ... while the rest of us wait years for your next game.

@jtedesco33: You may have hit the nail on the head. PS4 will be out in fall 2010!!..No kidding.
IMHO, the may as well keep expanding prologue with DLC either free for minor expansions, or paid for major expansions. When I downloaded the game, I was curious too see if we could expand to GT5 with DLC this is looking more like a reality!!!
First and foremost, they need to fix the online portion of prologue. As it stands now, it is terrible.

PS4 probably won't come out till 2012 or later.
But to be fair, a 18-24 months is a pretty short time period when talking about programming a game. Especially a big one.

I knew he would reveal that sooner or later, Looking for a release in 2009 is way to early and he wouldn't have enough time to be producing the game, I dont mind waiting at all since GT5P will be getting updates frequently, Now whos calling Prologue just a short demo? I Laugh at you people who do!

Prologue is indeed good, but to me it is lacking the fun factor that the earlier games in the series had. I was beginning to think poorly of GT5's potential for me, so this delay isn't too bad a thing.
This is all personal opinion of course, so if you're getting offended cause I said GT5P isn't 'fun' - KMA.

I'm totally with you Rygar, I've loved all the previous games, but Prologue just hasn't dont it for me at all. GT4 is where things started to go downhill for me though, the physics were PERFECT, but it was like the makers wanted to make a car museum way more than they wanted to make a racing game.
Winning what could be best described as a "horseless carriage" just isn't cool and whats the point of winning a DTM car if there are no DTM events.
I hope they focus GT5, get back to the racing and forget about having every car ever made. (do we really need F150 in a GT game?)

This news isn't going to go down well. Saying that I'm still having loads of fun with prologue, and as long as the updates remain free I'm happy.

Oh well. I hope they update GT5P every so often with some cars, maybe a track or two....that would be nice.

By that time Forza 7 will be out and no one will care about GT5 anymore

Forza will never and i mean NEVER be able to match the GT franchise. You just cannot compare GT to anything else. It is, without hyperbole, in it's own field.

The_Doctor, you're right. How many other racing sims claim to be "the real driving simulator" without car damage?

Do you think they'll have data installations for different regions, too?

i like forza more than gt tbh with you alll.
i don't know why i do, i just like all the things u can do, all thought i admit there are flaws such as there only being like 10?tracks maybelol so it might get a bit repetative.
either way i wouldnt mind having to change disc when forza 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 comes out.

And GT Portable is to come after GT5 so...that would be 2011 now?
Screw that...I'm sure Codemasters is working on a GT killer right now.

I've really been looking forward to this one. I hope some good things come out of Sony soon. I'm getting mighty disappointed :(
