It’s like we’ve just warped to an alternate reality where Gran Turismo 5 is actually really coming out – because apparently Gran Turismo 5 is actually really coming out. Talking to Jalopnik over at a Speciality Equipment Market Association event, Polyphony Digital boss guy and GT5 lead designer Kazunori Yamauchi says, “The discs are being stamped as we speak.”
They even took a picture of him making a sort of disc-stamping motion to prove it. Well, that or he’s demonstrating what angry GT5 fans are going to do to him when he admits the game’s actually been delayed to 2012, just in time for the end of the world.
But! The discs! Are being stamped! As we speak! The game’s done, and it’s being pressed to disc in a factory somewhere, everybody. Update your Xmas wish lists accordingly.
Gran Turismo 5 was originally announced forever ago in 2005, and has suffered a number of delays since, most recently just last month. The official story was that the game simply wasn’t finished yet, but rumours surfaced later that Sony had decided to release the game under the new 3.50 firmware standard to circumvent potential piracy.
