Sony have just announced that Gran Turismo 4 has slipped from a March launch date to June/July at the earliest.

Not a big suprise to anyone who has waited for a GT game to launch before (every one has slipped by at least six months).

I just hope that they use the time to ram as many cars and tracks into the game as they can.

It's good that they put the game back, it means they want to produce a game of high quality rather than just rush it.

Or they'll either make it one of the last games of the PS2 or put it back so it's on the PS3, but the graphics won't be as good as they should be due to fact that they'd made the code for the PS2 and not upgraded it for the PS3.

I may be getting the teaser soon myself.
And what parts do you need to buy in order to play online. Because if GT4 handles pretty much the same as Gt3 me and my rx7 will own u all in that drifting league.

Yeah mate, will be plenty fun. Specially when i make u all look like little school girls trying to catch up.

as for me starting my company, trying to get into the insurance and/or real estate fields. A bit of a story, just trying to break the cycle and get an early start.

Not going to happen, Polyphony (who make the GT series) are owned by Sony, so it's a PS2 release only.

Sony bought Polyphony shortly after the success of the original GT, to ensure that the series remained a Playstation exclusive.

It was a smart move when you consider how many PS1 and PS2's the GT series has sold.

I heard that the T350 was in GT4. I've got one (T350) on order and I was hoping to buy the game to get in some practice before my car arrived. Now it looks like it'll be the other way around!

Here's a list of cars I found on the net. Of course we won't know how accurate it is until it's release, but there are a dozen different TVRs listed so it could be promising!

That list is a fake unfortunately. It's a wish list made up by somebody that has been taken as fact by other websites.
