yes you heard me right...SONY delayed the US release for Gran Turismo 3...
from April 16, 2001 to June 2, 2001..now we gotta wait even LONGER for the MOST anticapated game..is it worth it ? how much more can you do to the game ? the game is at its best..i dont think you want to go a lil overboard on adding more stuff to it..if its updating other stuff lil little bugs or errors, then i guess its ok but another 2 month delay ? now we gotta wait 4 months total...errrrr.
at least its 1 less game/system to buy in March..

You see. They may want to TEST the game before releasing it.. Making sure all the bugs are fixed etc. Do u WANT a game that has bugs?

I don\'t know SoulGrind... Yes, I want the bugs tested out. But cripes!!! I\'d like a version of GT to make it to the shelves before the NEXT version of GT is due to come out!!! This is taking forever. Get it??? Forever!!!
And not just this game...Games in general... I\'ve already posted on this point, but I swear I believe game publishers know well in advance the *actual* date (say with GT3 as an example, suppose they knew ALL ALONG that they were not going to release it until June \'01). Yet they suggest publicly an earlier release date to whet the appetites and focus the cash to them. Think about the racing games (good or bad) that GT3 might be keeping gamers from buying b/c the gamers are holding onto their money for a game they believe is "right around the corner"... Then it gets "nudged" just a little out of grasp (but close enough for them to *wait*)... What happens? Those other games don\'t get purchased (okay, at least not as many do)...
As a working adult I can buy pretty much anything I want, but that doesn\'t mean I don\'t cry foul when publishers push back release dates. Its just a flat out bummer...

You ever heard the saying.. "it will be done, When its DONE"
Its a good little saying. I think Release dates on any game are crap. A release date should be made AFTER the game is completed not while it\'s being developed. Who knows when a game is gonna be finshed. So i think developers should be saying the games will be done when there done. Then give a release date after there finshed.

Excellent point. Thanks.

yes i want the bugs fixed..but how long does it take ? it gets delayed month after month after month..
if i recall it was a launch game ? or was it due out in november ? then it was delayed to december, then janurary, feburary, march, april and then the biggest jump to june...errrrrr..by the time it comes out, the PS3 will be out already :)..but i guess its worth it..kinda
-
umm, whats your source?
-
GT3 will be great and all, but last time I checked there will also be great games released before it. It\'s only one game...
-
Acually Gt3 (originally GT2000) was supposed to be released on March 4, 2000; the date that the Ps2 was released in Japan! But look at the improvements made in this timeframe! They are amazing! :)
-
yea i think that GT3 will be like a fine wine - it only can get better with time
but i am tired of waitting too - but the key to gaming is patientence - you need it to complete some games and now you need it to wait for them
give the developers a break - i am sure they are working their butts off tring to get this thing on the shelves
-
This doesn\'t concider me at all, as I live in Europe, but let me say that few months of extra wait doesn\'t bring much to the pain.
I\'d wait that few months without complaining, if the game\'s bug-tested, played trough by game-testers ( the horrible bug of GT2 in japan why you couldn\'t complete the game is one example why this should be done ), fixing graphical glitches ( so that no X-box fan could flame GT3 for bad graphics and graphic-bugs etc. ), so forth making the game more enjoyable for us all.
And, don\'t get me wrong here, the few months do just good for the game. Think it from this view:
When you finally get your hands on the GT3, you won\'t complain about the extra-wait at all.

yea not that i doubt you just i hadn\'t heard anything about this either and you would think IGN would have said something - they are usually on top of things
so where did u get this news?
-
maybe the extra time is need to get all the dashboards together... and the weather, we can\'t forget the weather :D
the longer they take, the more they learn. maybe we will finally see what the playstation2 is capable of... i mean say what you will, but i havent bought a game yet that i like (excluding madden of course) but heck nfl 2k1 looked just as good to me.
i mean jeeez to tell you the truth i\'m very disappointed (sp?) i hardly play my playstation2. to be quite frank i can\'t wit for the xbox. i own 7 titles and i hardly play one. i play maybe a couple hours a month nowdays.
one the other hand i can\'t wait for starwars starfighter tiger 01 and there was one more that i wanted.
i\'ve been playing pc all the time now... there\'s some great titles i want, but i want to get "starband" (first internet access via satellite that is capable of uploads and downloads) first because it will be ages before dsl, cable etc is available in my area. it\'s going to cost me 650 to get it installed then 70 a month w/ a 1 year contract.
uploads @ 150
downloads @ 400
i can\'t do crap w/ this 56k
-
I guess it will just be even longer before I need to pick up a PS2 then, oh well. They can blame themselves for sluggish sales in the next month or so.
-
Oh no!!!!! It can\'t BE!!!!!
-
A console with fixed hardware should be easier to debug than a PC. I guess thats not the case with the PS2.

Yeah, and I\'m sure you know all about that. I mean, you are a PS2 game developer working at Polyphony right? Oh that\'s right - you\'re not.
I\'ll wait. But I\'d also like to see the source.
-
I know it will be done when its done.. But is getting so aggrevating. This is really the only other game save MGS2 that I am looking forward too..
And they keep delaying it so its upsetting.. So Soulgrind your going to see some complaining because of it.. Try to understand people frustration...
End of my complaining, there is nothing you can do, so try to keep your negative comments to a minimum.. Peace
-
the older the berry the sweeter the juice my homies, in time , in time, i think the longer they delay it, the better it will be, so i aint stressing
-
source man? if you don´t give me a source... ¿?¿?¿?
-
damn, imagine just how long europe will have to wait!
*gulp*
-
not much more... 3 weeks? 4? can be... nothing? ;)
-
Atleast we can save some of our money in March! I already have too many games to buy. I will be to busy playing other games to notice the GT3 delay.
-
I wouldn\'t play it if I had it right now, a finished copy or whatnot. I\'d MUCH rather have The Getaway, or one of the other 50+ PS2 titles i\'m looking forward too. I cant even afford 2 of them......decisions :-)
-
I like your gaming choices Jeff! The getaway looks awesome. It looks like a souped up version of Grand Theft Auto. I love games like the Getaway! I will probably have a more enjoyable time playing the Getaway than GT3! Gt3 still looks amazing though. :)
-
But have you seen The Getaway screenshots? I have to say, that is the most graphically amazing game I have ever seen in my life. Beating out Uniracers for SNES! :-)
-
Ya Getaway\'s graphics are amazing to look at! I wonder if you can run over the civilions (like GTA) or if they just run away (Crazy taxi and Driver)? That is one of the most fun parts of the game. :)
-
I hope they dont run away, IE: Midnight Club. In Midnight Club, almost everything is smashable, its so fun in 2 player too. The Getaway should only improve.
-
umm, whats your source?
my source ? my source is from the release date list from my job...Electronics Boutique [EBWorld (http://www.ebworld.com)]
-
hmmm.. this is like nintendo
they will delay it till its done...
sony has a 1st party like nintendo now :P
-
Look at the bright side. At this rate GT3 will make the launch date(its original release date). So who cares if it\'s Oct.26th ,2001 instead of Oct. 26th, 2000. See, developers keep their promises......sort of. :D
-
Sony never ever said the new release date for GT3 in the US was APril 15, that was only for the Japanese release, and they never actually released another US release date till now
-
is there a release date for "the getaway"? i don\'t remember seeing it in some of the list i glanced at.
-
Well Bandit.............you may work for EBWorld ...........but untill i see more coverage from either Daily Radar or IGN on the delay of GT3 im taking your message with a grain of salt
No other site has mentioned the delay
So im just gonna sit back and wait .............alot of misinterpretation seems to come from posts in forums like these discouraging people on the Ps2
And no im not saying your one of those people .............this is just my opinion only ......no pun intended
When i see it with my own eyes i\'ll be a believer
-
EbWorld is usually wrong about dates so i dont really give a Sh!t what they say :)
-
I think Sony may have found the killer combination here.
They are going to do the same thing Nintendo did, by delaying all thier games to make sure they are the best they can be, but unlike nintendo, they have loads of massive thirdparty designers releasing thier own killer games so we dont notice the delays as much. With nintendo, they only had a few games out every so often so you noticed the absnece more and got more pissed about it.

from April 16, 2001 to June 2, 2001..
Where\'s a source for this? I have yet to see it anywhere.
-
http://www.ebworld.com..well if the JPN version is delayed..the US version is probably delayed as well..EBWorld updates their release date often..well if you dont want to believe it then dont..if you want to then believe it..all im doing is informing you guys from what I SEE at work on the release date
-
Wait, I didn\'t hear anything about a delay!
-
Of course Ebworld handed Final Fantasy 10 listed as coming out in winter of 2000. They post release dates because they have to, people have to base their purchases on something. But to even try and say their release dates are accurate is a joke. Not all of this is their fault, release dates change often, but they are notorious for being way off.
-
you dont believe me about the delay ? its is coming out on June 2nd..go check out the site that ddaryl gives us http://www.sonyweb.com ..go check out their release date for GT3..they also said June 1st..well June 1st is when the game is sent out to stores..but it should arrive to stores on the 2nd..SO THERES MY OTHER SOURCE for you other people who dont believe me !
-
I just asked for a source other than the notorious Electronics Boutique. Now you\'ve provided it, don\'t get your panties all in a bunch.
-
heh..sorry ;)..me no wear panties !!
