GT5 Races Into Stores This Spring?
See Full ImageOkay, even though the evidence wouldn't sway any jury in the land, we have to admit: our anticipation level has risen another notch, and our hope that Gran Turismo 5 will release a good deal sooner than expected remains very much alive.
Last week, series creator Kazunori Yamauchi laughed at the idea of GT5 slipping into 2010 and then said the game would arrive "earlier" than we all might think. And now, as AutoGaming.net points out, the UK's Car Magazine may have let a little something else slip- there's an article in the most recent edition that talks about the Citroen GT concept car, which ought to be interesting in and of itself. But in that piece, it says the car will be on display in GT5 this coming spring. ...really? That sounds almost too good to be true, and unfortunately, it's well known that these magazines aren't always 100% correct when it comes to certain facts. However, Yamauchi is typically very close to the automotive industry and because Polyphony needs a host of licenses and permissions when it comes to this stuff, Citroen may be aware of certain dates. For now, all we know is that Polyphony plans to continue to update Gran Turismo 5: Prologue with fresh content while we wait, but they can't keep that up for very long. We're gonna want the final product at some point, damnit!
And if Gran Turismo 5 actually does drop some time this spring, we'll be super crazy excited. We loved Prologue and we know GT5 will rock the house, so...could this be true?

But Gran Turismo 4 was the most epic car game (even for a simulation it was as fun as every car game) I have ever played. Made me appreciate car techniques and breaking more LOLZ (which my age group of friends don't value as much, if at all). Though I don't need to say it cause' everyone knows how good it was.
A full PS3 Gran Turismo in the early quarters of 2009 would be eXtreme. I'd be broke after buying Resistance 2, maybe COD: World at War, Killzone 2, God of War III and Final Fantasy XIII - plus GT5. Though I wouldn't be able to afford them in the 1st place LOL I need a job. I'm just a kid xD.

No we're not. PD and Kaz have always had high expectations for their product and the fact has always been shown in how they tend to delay their products.
Furthermore, us GT addicts who play and STILL love Prologue don't really need the Full game yet anyway.
Ask any Prologue player and he'll tell you, just give me private rooms and that's all we need save for more content.
Its too bad you guys "loved" Prologue and it doesn't sound like you still appreciate. There have been prologues before and North America never got them, we must all remember to be grateful for PD has given us and stop asking incessant questions about the full game. Prologue beats about every racing game on PS3 and unless NFS is much better than before it will remain so, but thats Apples and Oranges really.

Whatever the case, GT is the best racing series to date by a wide margin. I don't see how Forza 2 can compete with GT5's content. GT5 does rally, Formula 1s, B-spec, loads of cars, lots of tracks, endurances, photo mode....and now, drifting, GTTV, damage, online, updated physics, accurate recreation of interiors (cockpit view), psp connectivity, 16 cars in one track, and even has strong relationships with manafacturers like Nissan, Ferrari, Lotus, and of course, Citroen. Please don't get me started on the graphics...
I might've missed something, but you get the idea.

I dont think this is true. Doesn't matter to me, anyways - I'm not one for racing games. Although, I must say, I did enjoy GT3 quite a bit.
How about a FFXIII spring release? hehe...
