Still a long ways to go: Gran Turismo 5 only 65% complete UPDATE Japan gets March release window

Uh.. okay. This certainly puts a wedge on the excitement and anticipation for Gran Turismo 5. It's practically been some three years in the making now, and, well, we were kinda hoping it'll be released by the end of the year, you know, as that GamesCom brochure that Polyphony Digital handed out with a December release date said.. So what's this we're hearing that GT5 is only 65% complete?

Yeap, it looks like the organizers at Tokyo Game Show has taken the time and patience to gather up the facts from the developers/ publishers in order for them to collect estimates as to how far along are their games going.

65%. If you're gonna choose to look at the glass half-full, that's more than halfway done. If you're more of the pessimist type, well, then that's barely halfway done.

If it's any consolation, though, Final Fantasy XIII is said to be 90% complete. Almost there, definitely! Check out the list:

Okamiden: 25%
Lost Planet 2: 70%
Valkyria Chronicles 2: 70%
Yakuza 4: 65%
The Last Guardian: ?
Crackdown 2: ?
Alan Wake: ?
Halo Reach: ?
Final Fantasy XIV: 50%
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker: 50%
God of War III: 60%
Heavy Rain: 50%

Guess the GDC 09 forecast rings out loud and true then: Gran Turismo 5 will be released when it makes the most sense.

*UPDATE*

The second part of Sony's press conference (yes, they pulled out a long one) is currently ongoing at the TGS, and they have just announced that Gran Turismo 5 will be coming out in Japan by March of next year.

No word on the other regions, but that announcement pretty much scraps out the "December 2009" release window that's been circulating the rumor grounds.

aye its the economy man, they probably cut about 65% of their employees too. Im jk, im not going to blame their slow a$$ work on the economy.... im sure its taking so long because they want their consumers to be completely happy. Its never been about money to them.. just making everyone happy. I heard all profits go to charity.

Just think...there ARE separate teams for XIII and Versus XIII, but the MAIN focus is on XIII right now. Until that's released and etc, you won't hear much about Versus. Maybe a bit at TGS? But not much after that.

Yeah im sure they are hard at work... you know, waking up every afternoon... wiping their a$$'s with a hundred dollar bill before heading to work. Have a lunch, and get home by 3 to take care of the wife and kids. They are hard working people and the least we can offer for them is our patience. So lets cut them a little slack.

i was just hoping for a number you know? just to know how theyre progressing....unless they havent been doing ish and are too ashamed to say anything o.0

WTF!!!!!!!!!

What I think is more interesting is that FFXIV is already half finished. I don't know, this seems like fast work.

# lol 65% — vizard00 2009-09-24 05:27

wow that playable demo of GT5 was only 65% and beter than forza 3 , awsome

# Really!?!?!?!?!?!?!? — danielakadanny 2009-09-24 05:34

well they're perfectionists when it comes to the GT series so I am okay with it

# Bah!! — withsprinkles 2009-09-24 05:46

So, given that March 2010 is for Japan - can we expect GT5 either Summer 2010 or possibly Holiday 2010?

Way to screw the pooch Sony/DP.. so, what the point of releasing all those gameplay videos and trailers for last 4-6 weeks - if the game isn't coming for another 5 months (at least for Japan)?

Probably waiting to see how the PSP version fairs...

# lol — vizard00 2009-09-24 07:23

i think forza will face gt5 psp hahahaha , wait a minute i have a xbox360 ami a traitor or what .

# Awww man... — WarhammerEX 2009-09-24 11:26

I was really hoping to play GT5 this holiday season, especially after seeing the Ferrari 458 Italia tribute vid yesterday... :(
