Yamauchi: GT5 is about 90% finished

Polyphony Digital boss Kazunori Yamauchi recently stated in an interview that Gran Turismo 5 is roughly 90% complete as of this date. However, anyone who has been following this ongoing tragedy from the start may take notice that Yamauchi has stated this exact same thing in the past as well as stating that the game is finished enough to release.

Which statements are true? Who knows — all we know is that it’s time for Polyphony Digital to stop talking and start delivering as gamers have been waiting far too long for this installment into the franchise.

Speaking with Inside Line, Yamauchi states “Gran Turismo 5 is about 90 percent finished. There are currently around 140 people working on the project.”

While it’s great to receive repetitive tidbits of information, it’s about high time something new is shown off as well. Maybe I’ve just been spoiled with what GT has offered in the past, but I’m ready to hit the track running already. Obviously the Fall can’t get here soon enough.

  1. GT5 would most definitely need to exceed expectations for its own sake.

  2. *facepalm*

    Next week it will be 80% complete. That’s just how GT5 development works. Then it’ll be done, but we wont get it. They’ll say: “Ok, now its about 50% done, it should be out within the next millenium”.

  3. I only care when it’s released now.

  4. Man as long as people have been waiting for this game to come out this game needs to be perfect, and it is only making people set their expectations higher. I’m not even a GT5 fan, but I will be picking this game up seeing as they’ve put so much time and effort into the game.

    It better be good if its taking this long.

  10. They should seriously upload a completion bar in real time, where you go inside the page just to see the percentage that it is on a certain day. March/26/2010=90%; July/28/2010=90%; December/31/2010=90%; November/25/2012 [BLIP]=91% WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!
