WHY SO SERIOUS!
I knew this game was merely a lure for GT fans to the PSP :(

For some reason, Gran Turismo just ain't revving up as it should for the PSP. According to Famitsu, the game developers Polyphony Digital have confirmed that the game's release date is still indefinite as of press time.  Originally, the plan was to release it in Japan during Spring 2005.

This latest delay, which is not exactly new, will not only disappoint awaiting fans, but will also probably affect the PSP. This update is considered to be the latest in a number of blows coming PSP's way, following several movie companies' decision to stop producing UMD Videos for the handheld.

Nonetheless, most fans don't think the delay signifies any deep trouble for both the game and the PSP. After all, other GT titles also took a while before being officially released. Here's hoping the game is worth the wait.

Hmm, that kinda sucks. If there was one sure fire way for me to buy a PSP (yeah, MGS is EXTREMELY tempting too, but i'd like to get more than one game :)) is for a mobile GT game. I'm a fan of the GT games and being able to take a Skyline round Tsukuba on the go would be damned awesome, also wifi options could come into play! :D

Here's hoping they are just playing down the release to surprise us, but it's not looking terribly likely :(

Yes. In under 3 months I went from being a 360 owner to a PS3 owner. Idiotic? Maybe. Financial Stupidity? Definately. Do I care? No bloody way! :D

GT4 was probably just part of a tech demo type thing and to lure people to the PSP.
Now it's not coming, PSP sales will slow even more.

i read that they have started development on it, and have it quite near GT4 quality, but it was pushed back and it won't be touched until the PS3 one is done

:(

I wonder if this is "it's being worked on right now" still on track or "PS3 will be released in spring" still on track...
Good ol' Sony, you're so hard to predict now-a-days.

Good ol' Sony, you're so hard to predict now-a-days.

Or even "We'll say it's still on track so people hopefully buy a PSP in anticipation even though it's not being released"

Personally I'd love to see GT4 with an option for 8 player wireless, but I have a bad feeling it won't happen.

haha of course a GT on PSP will appear...... this is sony we are talking about..

its like nintendo and mario/zelda..... they may not appear right away, but they will come :) don't forget games like zelda get delayed alot too.


and this is typical of Pollyfony(haha) anyway, they always take time. IMO as long as the final thing is high quality, its all good.

And here is some proof...

Kazunori Yamauchi interview with Kikizo

Quote:
 
Kikizo: And what's happening with GT Mobile?

Yamauchi: Probably next year.

Kikizo: Probably next year? So it's still in active development?

Yamauchi: Yes.

Kikizo: That's good to hear. A lot of people will be very happy to hear that. Thank you.


Will have to replace my PSP methinks. However I won't be rushing...

I reckon the GT franchise has been mishandled since 3. It seems that it's been plagued by nothing but delays, and that's a really bad thing for Sony's flagship franchise. The franchise that moves hardware like nothing else they have.

Seriously, 2009? What a joke. Sounds like Polyphony needs more employees.
