It's Official--Gran Turismo 5 Has A Release Date
Sony race fans will finally be able to hit the track later this month, when Sony and Polyphony Digital's long-awaited Gran Turismo 5 hits store shelves in North America. The game has been given an official release date of November 24.
"Gran Turismo 5 is an ambitious project, with challenges and complexities which have made it our version of the Apollo Space Program!" hyperbolizes Kazunori Yamauchi, president of Polyphony Digital Inc. "When we created the original Gran Turismo back in 1997, we wanted to set a completely new precedent for the racing genre. With the technological leap onto PlayStation 3, our objective with Gran Turismo 5 was to create another great revolution which would not only satisfy our own high expectations, but would meet or even exceed the anticipation of the fans. Satisfying the loyal Gran Turismo followers is at the heart of all of our efforts, which is why it was such a difficult decision to delay the release of the game, and one which we did not take lightly. I can only apologize to everyone for making you wait so long, and I hope that when you try out the wealth of driving experiences available in Gran Turismo 5, you will not be disappointed."
So there you have it. November 24. More amazingly, it's November 24, 2010.
