Originally planned for release in Japan during Spring 2005, it seems that Gran Turismo 4: Mobile Edition continues to follow its home console predecessors in falling behind schedule.

Speaking to Japanese publication Famitsu, developers Polyphony Digital have confirmed that the game has been given an indefinite release date. The news is the latest in a number of blows to hit the PSP, following the decision by several movie companies to stop producing UMD Videos for the handheld, and recent suggestions that Sony's platform is on death's door.

Gran Turismo 4 on PlayStation2 was released in 2005 after slipping from an original release date in 2003, so with that in mind perhaps we shouldn't expect the Mobile Edition to hit retail until well into 2007...if at all.

Why don't they just "cancel" it. then release it in 2007 and call GT5:mobile. XD

This is polyphonic digitals own fault this is, They have been working on other game projects that to be quite honest are pathetic and not keeping their priorities set on GT4, they took a bad move considering GT4 is one of the most highly anticipated games for the PSP

[PSPages]

Thats a shame. This is one of the most anticipated games for me :mad:

I know Polyphony are notorious for late GT releases but they should seriously try and sort it out.

[hack.fool]

WHAT!!
I'm waiting this title till I own my psp and now you tell me that they don't give a f***?
this seem to me like we are the last wheel of the wagon
We are the people that buy their shit and they simple tell us "not this year, MAYBE the next.."
with the ps3 is the same thing..
I'm really annoyed
look what Nintendo is going to do!!!
they got it..
now if the next year I can't find any umd video or game in stores I know why...

who cares, not me. gran turismo has to be one of the most boring racing games ever made.

the only plus is the games visuals,and Ive always said playability first and visuals second.

this is my opinion though.

give me ridge racer anyday!!

DUDE it an "A" list title something the P$P has a very serious lack of. 1000's of people do like the GTseries and it would certainly move more little black $ony boxes of the shelf. So tuff shit $ony dont got bitching when ninty beat u again in the christmas sales figures.

Ridge Racer and games of the like are for people who cannot fully appreciate racing in all its glory. The gameplay for GT4 is definitely the game's strong suit, with visuals coming in at a close second. The other racing games offer an "arcade-like" racing experience, but the GT series offer you up what it would really feel like to race in the big leagues.

I am truly disappointed that GT4 was bumped back, but I'm not in a hurry to update my firmware or buy another PSP...so I'll wait. My homebrew'll keep me busy until I figure out what I'll do...

[BrooksyX]

At this rate I doubt they will ever release it.

[felonyr301]

if this dont come out i better have at least a playable gran turismo 2 on my psp at the very least and of course wont upgrade for it no matter how much i love the gran turismo series.

[.:}<3\/!}\{:.]

they take too long!!!!!

[crackkills]

yea gt looks awsome but it is a little hard for me considering i only have one arm (just kidding, im sorry to anyone who really does have one arm)

[stotheamuel]

WOW!!!!

You guys can't honestly be saying "damn SONY"

WTF does Sony have to do with this? its not Sony making the games... Really!

people have such a F***in problem with sony.. for no reason.. it's their i blame them person.

[ACID]

It will be 3 more years before we see this game for the psp if at all.

[pibs]

LOL wasnt this game suppose to be one of the psp first releases...... remember when psp hadn't came out and everytime u saw a psp pic the grandturismo umd was next to it.

[ACID]

You are correct thats why i sayd maibe 3 years from now.LOL

[Psyberjock]

Its not coming. It never was. It was all a big lie by sony to get people to buy PSPs. Luckily I didn't buy a PSP only for GT4P. I wanted other games as well. Sony can go **** themselves. I have a 1.0 and a 1.5 and they'll never be anything else.

[groovemaster303]

I bought a ps2 because of GT3 and back then it was the mutts nutts no doubt about it. but for GT4
I waited and waited and waited and by the time it finally arrived i found it boring.
now i just don't care about the psp version.

[roberto125919]

this pisses me off why can't they just get 'er done, seriously this is BS

[QueadlunnRau]

I was all excited about GT4 for PSP when the PSP just came out, now I've been waiting soooooo long and too many racing games for PSP have come out and I'm all racer'd out.

[groovemaster303]

yeah thats whats happened to me too many racing games have diluted the GT experience.
unless GT-psp is really special i just don't give a damn.
