Title: Gt3 Delayed!!!!gt3 Delayed!!!!!!
Post by: Ethan_Hunt on April 29, 2001, 11:48:43 AM
Ok as you probably know i am going to america soon,and wanted to get GT3 while i was out there, but i was worried that i would be able to pick it up,so i phoned EB in florida,and he said that they have a new release date which is the 11TH OF JULY,so i went on to there website and it says the 10th OF JULY,here is the link:

http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/categories/products/product.asp?pf_id=181981&mscssid=&ref=1&promocode=

He said that the date changed 3 days ago,so if you could find out from your local stores what release date they have,that would be great: )
Also if it comes out in July in America does that mean it will come out in the UK in AUG/September,or has it got the same release date as America?

Yeah, EB also had FFX and FFXI scheduled to be released during the Fall of last year.  We can always trust them... :rolleyes:

ffs the game is finished what reason is there to delay it
Title: Gt3 Delayed!!!!gt3 Delayed!!!!!!
Post by: V|PeR on April 29, 2001, 02:00:49 PM
i know i find that wierd, all they have to do is translate the menus and change it to NTSC
Title: Gt3 Delayed!!!!gt3 Delayed!!!!!!
Post by: kopking on April 29, 2001, 02:05:06 PM
i thought jap and american games were both run on ntsc, and it was only us european gamers who are on a totally different one, as in pal.

Post by: EThugg on April 29, 2001, 02:05:24 PM
V|PeR, kopking-It\'s already in NTSC. Only Europe uses PAL.

Everyone-It\'s, according to THE BOUNCER, got very \'involved\' menus and I\'m sure there\'s a lot of translating that needs to be done, for the game, and the manual.

EBworld is usually pretty accurate. But it\'s still not a 100% guarantee that it was delayed. (I sure hope not)

If there is any truth to this, it will be posted all over the web come Mon. But, I fear that the tell-tale signs are not in our favour. Sheesh, I\'ve had this game pre-paid since Nov.!

i wouldnt be suprised if they push it back again, since its so close to the x-box and gamecube release.

WHY WHY WHY! WHY would 1 MONTH make that much of a difference, I simply do NOT understand this.  The GT3 crew should come up with a reason for each time they push back the game, the fans deserve this.

Maybe it should never ever come out. Jesus, it was supposed to be out almost a year ago. That is just plain weak.

All of ya\'s whine too much

The Game got a 39/40, looks drop dead gorgeous. All this extra time has obviously paid off.

If it gets pushed back a few weeks now its obviously because of the translation

150 page manual takes quite awhile to translate properly, as does all the game menu\'s etc.

Then there will be a week or 2 of quality assurance with those translations then a week or 2 of ramping up the American version production line.


I know its sucks to wait, but it\'ll be here and after it is here no one will be complaining


Oh and  check out this intro movie 10mbs great quality

I\'m with ddaryl.  Would you all have been happy with GT2000, a game that promised nothing different from GT2 other than updated graphics?  If Sony hadn\'t gone and delayed the game, then that\'s what you would have gotten.  I for one am happy that they\'re putting so much effort into this one, as it will give the PS2 bashers one less thing to talk about.

There\'s plenty out there for you non-Japanese or non-importing folks to enjoy while you wait for GT3.

Be patient, as patience always pays back. Don\'t think how much you have already waited, but how short time you must wait to get your hands to GT3. You should be happy \'bout how close you actually are to the release date.

I\'m with ddaryl and \'ways on this one.

Yeah i remember your post now StAnZo,but i couldnt remeber who posted it(sorry)but i bet that is the case for the uk,i am with out a doubt buying an american ps2 now,if only i had a jap PS2,then it would be ok.
You dont think they are add anything like network play do you?maybe they are adding other bits and pieces,maybe more cars,stuff like that.
Title: Gt3 Delayed!!!!gt3 Delayed!!!!!!
Post by: StAnZo on April 30, 2001, 08:43:44 AM
Dunno. You may find a couple of new cars in the UK version, Who is to say that they couldn\'t add more cars
whilst this is bieng translated and slightly rewriting the PAL code, if they\'ve got the time then they will probably
put some more cars in from the UK that we may well find desireable.

This is the closest I can find to an official statement from Sony:

http://ps2.ign.com/news/34047.html

It may not be a foregone conclusion that GT3, will in fact, be delayed. We will see... crosses fingers, holds breath
