It's not written on stone, but an official brochure will do for now. Polyphony Digital has set the official release date for the long-overdue Gran Turismo 5, and you bet it's coming out on the last quarter of 2009.

Handed out at the GamesCom convention in Cologne last week, the German brochure (translated) had this to say about the super-racing game:

Developer: Polyphony - Platform: PS3

Genre: Racing - Number of Players: T.B.A. Release: 4th Quarter of 2009 THE

ULTIMATE RACING GAME RETURNS

1000 cars to race on incredible detailed racetracks and unlock PlayStation Trophies ... The new NASCAR and WRC championships improve the Gran Turismo experience. Players are challenged to fight their way up the online leaderboards against other racedrivers from all over the world.

We'll be holding on to their word now, unless of course the brochure gets wet and melts away or something.

Awesome news. I figured this would be a 2010 launch for sure, and it still could be pushed back, who knows.

I must say I was a little disappointed when I heard that not all cars are going to have full interiors and damage, but none-the-less, a next gen full-length Gran Turismo game? I'll take it. Even with the lack of the two things listed above, with 1,000 cars and 80 tracks, it's not like anyone will be complaining about a lack of content.

This, and Forza 3 will keep me entertained for a LONG, LONG time. Finally two racers that are actually up to par with technology.. Forza 2 and GT5:P and PGR are GREAT games. Highly recommended. I used to like Need for speed... but it has lost its luster.

And if you haven't played the Dirt 2 demo... Get it. Its fun. Hella fun.

And don't compare these games to motorstorm, especially dirt vs motorstorm, they are 2 completely different games. One is more arcade, while the other is more Racing sim.

This and forza 3 are gonna be great. I really cant wait for these two games. And if you dont have both consoles just buy what ever is on your console

# Nice — nyr2k2 2009-08-24 03:22

I'm not even a fan of racing games, but I'm going to buy this for sure.

# Or — saldude2 2009-08-24 03:24

Or just buy the console which has the one you like the most

Do they mean 4th quarter of 2009 the actual year or 4th quarter of 2009 fiscal year? If it's fiscal that ends in march right?

....

still waiting.

# Oh my God.........The gran(d)addy of all racing games is on its way!!! — KingPepper 2009-08-24 07:52

Bring it on Polyphony & Sony, i am waiting for this beauty of a game, its going to be a close thing between the two greatest racing sim's Gran Turismo 5 & Forza Motorsports 3, may the battle commence, the thing that i reckon will clinch it, is the fact that Forza has Customization options as well, we will see, i am going to be well skint after buying both of these & Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 as well. LOL

Can't wait........ :o)

# I tried the Dirt 2 Demo......... — KingPepper 2009-08-24 08:33

I must say it is extremely hard to play and may put people off of it, the cars run way too quickly for me, resulting in crashing every 30 seconds, so not for me, this game reminds me of NFS Pro street, the same speeds.

Software developers need to remember not everyone has reactions of a cat, so most people will just give up, like i did.

# Dirt 2 — whaleshark 2009-08-24 10:16

The game isn't that fast, its at about the same speed as Forza 2. Maybe a little bit faster than GT5P... but not that much faster. What difficulty were you playing on?

Anyone who has a PSP should consider pre-ordering this.

According to gamespot, if you pre-order GT5 you get a copy of GT for PSP free. That is a nice bonus for pre-ordering.

I am going to ask about it when I buy my PSP-go and if it's true, I will lay down a pre-order for GT:5 right away.

# .. — saldude2 2009-08-24 14:29

I just found out that this game has no Porsche, That sucks. But i might still buy it. Cuz porsche is my fav manufacturer

# ok — vizard00 2009-08-24 18:56

ive played GT 1 and ill play this one for sure , for forza i think its a nice try .

# I have a question: — Stealth! 2009-08-26 20:57

Considering how massive this racer is going to be, how big is the install going to be on the game? I mean I can't see PD making this game like Naughty Dog's Uncharted and having no install. You'd think with that much time to develop this it wouldn't but I'm still worried thought. Regardless I should pre-order this. Might as well get a free PSP GT game. ;)
