Gran Turismo 5 To Be Released November 24th
UgLyPuNk writes "After many, many delays, Gran Turismo 5 has finally gotten a solid release date: November 24th. ('Tis the season for vaporware titles to emerge into the real world, it seems.)"
Eurogamer posted a preview of the game back in August, saying, "It's been a whirlwind of features and car chatter, beneath which the game still looks fantastic. It may have been in development for the whole of this console generation, but the technical arms race has slowed down and GT5 still looks as good as any other racing game we've seen, and it is, to say the least, comprehensive." Joystiq has a video of the course maker and a collection of screenshots.
Did you really have nothing better to do than to post this? Your comment adds nothing here. The article is about the release data of a highly anticipated game. You posted a generalized rant aimed at an entire genre of video games. You would have been better served by spending your time with Google to discover the answers to your questions, rather than waiting for some equaly bored soul to come along to tell you that Gran Turismo is one of the most realistic driving games available. It may not be reality, but it is about as close to it as racing games get.
The problem is, from a developer perspective, any game thats been in development as long as GT5 can not possibly be impressive to the developers at this point. If the developers don't find it impressive, users most certainly won't.
Gt5 is already too old for anyone (die hard fans/fanboys excluded) to find probably any part of it impressive.
Its just another Duke Nukem Forever, people have been waiting so long and have so much anticipation built up, there is no way it can be anything other than a let down, too much is expected of it since its been so long.

1. Oh, I don't know, probably because 99.9% of american cars are crap? Other than the Corvette and the Viper, which indeed are awesome, pretty much everything coming out of Detroit is fugly, forgettable, poorly engineered (the 1950's called, they want their pushrod and OHC's back; also the hemispherical combustion chambers, lots of manufacturers are using those but they don't brag about it like it's the second coming of christ because, well, it's pretty established, old tech by now, I mean, Mercs were doing it in the 50's, it would be like advertising "OUR CARZ HAVE PISSTONZ OMG LOL!!!1!1!one!), poorly assembled out of poor materials and based off of 1930's technology.
