Gran Turismo 4 to Make Holiday Release...Offline

Posted by Zonk on from the gran-turismo-by-your-lonesome dept.

sm4kxd writes "EuroGamer is reporting that in a press conference at the Tokyo Game Show, Sony representatives stated that Gran Turismo 4 is still on schedule for release. They're looking for a December 4th Japan release, followed by a near December 14th release date in both the states and Europe, but it will be exclusively offline. There is to be a follow up GT game with online capabilities that has a speculated release sometime in 2005."

    I care.

    The percentage of PS2 owners who have their machines connected to the net isn't that big (I'm omne that doesn't), and online racing is only going to be an add-on to the main game which involves gradually being able to afford better (or more highly tuned) cars.

    The real reason that GT4 is so desirable is that the previous PS2 incarnations of GT have been half-hearted, GT3 being a cut down but nicer graphics port of the PS2.

    5 years ago, there were reports of delays for Gran Turismo 2. It wouldn't make it out for Christmas '99, and would be pushed to February 2000.

    Through some miracle though, (I heard it was 120 hour work weeks), they were able to release it a week before Christmas, to the surprise of almost everyone. Of course, you could only complete 98.2% of it.

    So, I guess I haven't lost hope yet.
