All they need to do is release it now

It does seem to be suffering from what us developers call "feature creep". Trouble is that you run the risk of putting so much in that you do none of it very well. Fingers crossed that they manage to make something that's enjoyable to play...

I'm reserving judgement. I'm getting bored with Forza so I'm hoping GT5 will prove to be a bit better / have more variety (if they ever release it).

Here, here.

All these great additions and features seem a bit pointless if they never actually release the damn game!

Im hoping its good, then i will bring my PS3 out of retirement... The main reason i never use my PS3 is because the 360 controller is 10 times better so i am always put off buying games for the PS3

is GT5 the game that was supposed to be released when the PS3 or was that an earlier GT?

Can you crash cars yet as I remember on the original you could just bounce all the way round the track?

I think it still has the GT patented 'invisi-barrier' but it does have damage now.
GT5 will shift so many PS3's but I feel sorry for the people who got a PS3 years ago expecting it (same as the PSP with GT mobile)

I hope you are right -- but the Wired article from a few days earlier (linked in my previous post) says that they are all being sued so they can't talk about it ...
