Uncharted 2 and GT5 will undoubtedly shift some units. I might even sell mine and get one of the bundles mentioned!

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.
I'd rather they did hold this game back until December, lets have Uncharted 2 for abit first and then unleash GT5, the PS3 is starting to flex its muscles big time upon the release of these.
Wonder if we'll get the new McLaren MP4 12C?
Doubt it to be fair, they'd have to arrange photo shoots etc just for it.
Its not much of a looker anyway.

Doubtful isn't it? The car's not even released yet and although there have been plenty of prototypes in earlier game I can't remember a car that new being a full part of the game. If that is included we can expect the Ferrari 458 and the Mercedes-Benz SLS too perhaps. But I would guess none of them is in it.
Can you see car updates being released after a while, Weaste? Would be a great way to keep the game fresh. I'm not too familiar with PS3 gaming other than GT5 Prologue and that game got so much better after the Spec III update. Gran Turismo has always been a bit of a mammoth to get around but updates every so often on cars, manufacturers and tracks would be a great way to keep up interest.
I think that this game will get updates (some you have to pay for) for a significant part of its life. I don't see a GT6 until PS4.
The 1000 car rumour, and the addition of the Mazda to the PSP GT makes me think that we could get some of the newer cars. There is a YouTube video of Yamamuchi test driving an SLS prototype at the Nurburgring. Maybe he was just having some fun, maybe he had a load of blokes with him to scan it.

Yeah some of the games have had prototypes but I would be surprised to see a fully playable version of a car that new in the game. Would be great though. I think I may have to quit my job when this game finally arrives..
What it looks like isn't really the point is it? Even if it was, it's far better than that Citroen aberration.
I think it looks pretty good, and a lot better than the Merc SLS. The Mclaren that is, not the Citroën GT thing. Was a bit surprised that they went with a twin turbo knowing Gordon Murray's dislike of turbo engines. The Ferrari 458 Italia is a real stunner though.
No not at all, just saying I'd probably be more disappointed at the prospect of it not being in the game if it was a really nice car.
TGS not too far away now.
how long left now weaste ive actually forgotten all about this game what with uncharted 2 and MW2 on the way
Well, Sony open the Tokyo Game Show with a keynote speech on Thursday (will be early morning UK time), so it's expected that this will be announced to be a mid-December release and they will basically show all of it at this show.
sweet must keep an ear to the ground on it
They had better mention something.
I might buy a PS3 just for this game.
And you wont be the only one, Sony are going to make a killing this christmas.
Well I'm gunna be buying a PS3 when I'm re-employed, and I want this game to be available so I hope they hurry up!
March 2010, ah feck it!
fecking disgrace. I understand the whole perfectionism, but release unfinished crap later as a DLC. Sounds like they haven't got the balls to go up against COD.
5 years....
5 years....
It's only 3 months, December was only a rumour anyway. 
At least we got to see a few new cars for GT5, even air brakes.
As for going up against MW2, I doubt this is a decision by Sony, but rather Yamauchi himself. I'm sure the Sony sales lot would have had it rushed out of the door.

I just hope the game justifies the wait, they've been making this for so long that I feel they going to have to have a pretty much perfect game and I don't think it will be.
They can feck right off with that release date.
I just bloody spent good money on a wheel and stand in preparation for Christmas FFS!

I am so dissapointed Fair enough on the release date but when you build your hopes for a 2009 release and then don't get it.
What can you do, other than buy Forza 3 in the meantime.

This news angers me
I must say, you lot are acting very calmly. Certain other websites went into total meltdown over it, as if an atomic bomb had had been strapped to their grannies' heads.
As far as I understand it, the reason it has taken so long is that they have remodelled 1,000+ cars from scratch to a very high detail, and also modelled them using individual components; the idea being that they'll never need to do them again in future iterations of the game. I asked on a technical forum a while back why this would take so long, and the answer I got was rather surprising to me - that when you licence a car for a game, you don't actually get the CAD model of the car. They have released two other games and Prologue since GT4 though, amongst other things.
Doesn't bother me too much an extra 3 months. If they need that time to get everything right, it is probably for the best.
That what I meant though, if they need to make this pretty much perfect otherwise people are going to be saying how come we had to wait so long and yet 'xxx' isn't right or whatever.
I'm sure it'll be a fantastic game, but you know what gamers are like!

There are still obvious flaws with it graphically as well. Look at that last video I posted, about 4-5 seconds in, straight down the middle in the distance, a skyscraper just pops into view from nowhere. Also, the 458 Italia video, as beautiful as it is, around 1:18 in, in the background, a mountain with trees on it does the same. I suppose it shows that it's not skulduggery at work.
Proper gash like.
Gutted it's March; isn't that the same time God of War III is due for release?
Forza 3.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for that brilliant contribution. But say for example GE has bought a G25 wheel, it's not going to work there, even if he had an XB360.

It really does look epic, I'm pretty pissed at having to wait so long for it!!
Yes, but cheer up.
I'd like to see some in car graphics. GT's always looked better from different camera angles.
Play gt5p. Even now '2 years on' it shits on Forza 3's in car graphics.
