Gran Turismo 5 Delayed 122

RogueyWon writes "The Times is reporting that Polyphony Digital's Gran Turismo 5, likely to prove a key title for the PlayStation 3, has been delayed indefinitely, despite an expectation that it would be released relatively early in 2010. The delay seems likely to impact Sony's plans to bundle the game with the PlayStation 3 console in time for the important spring sales period in Japan."

    Is Gran Turismo 5 using the same engine as Duke Nukem Forever?

    This series of ingame screen-shots might bring some light to the situation: http://i.imgur.com/ZnQAr.jpg [imgur.com]

    Dirt 2 is an almost-excellent game, ruined by the inclusion of what I am going to call "Tad". Tad does the voice-overs work for the game. He might even have an actual name, but I've willed myself to forget it. Tad personifies every negative stereotype of the idiot XTREME FRAT BOY XTREME SPORTS XTREME DUDE. I own Dirt 2 for the PS3 and have tried to play it a number of times. The graphics are excellent, the physics are good, if slightly arcadey, and the opponent AI is adequate. But every time I start to enjoy myself, Tad comes out with an even more statlingly hideous inanity than I had previously believed to be possible.

    I don't think it's actually possible to hate somebody more than I hate Tad. I have ideas about what I'd like to do to him. They involve a packet of cheap razor blades, a vat of acid, a three square mile stretch of frozen lake, an over-ripe aubergine, 7 ordinary red bricks and a chainsaw. But even these sadistic fantasies are brutally undercut by the knowledge that, as I inflicted agonies fit to tear the human soul to shreds upon him, Tad would probably yell "DUDE! You're IN THE ZONE... you're torturing me to death TO THE MAX!!!!" THIS IS XTREME TO THE MAX!!!!!!"

    You cannot turn Tad off. Believe me, I've tried.

    So yes, in summary, Dirt 2 had potential, but it also had... some issues.
