Dang that sounds sweet! I thought I heard it was pushed off until 2011? Also wasnt GT5 originally supposed to launch with the PS3?

I think GT5 almost became the laughing stock like the Duke Nukem franchise. Sounds like there might be hope for GT5.

Not sure what you mean by laughing stock. GT game title has always been one of the best driving simulators around on a gaming console. The only thing I can see as a laughing stock is how many times the release date got pushed back. If you see how many games are rushed out and suck and rely on online fixes, I'm glad they took their time. Next week we'll find out if it was worth it.

GT5 WAS one of the best driving simulators...then along came Forza. If GT5 is anything remotely close to Prologue, its gonna suck. The driving dynamics were embarrassingly far behind Forza 3. I'm sorry, but bumper cars and guard rail bouncing in 2010 gets really old really fast. After my brain adjusted to the awesomeness of the graphics, I turned it off and returned it.

Which is where my comparison was. This game like the new(old) Duke Nukem had been promised for awhile now.

To be fair, you should give multiplayer a chance if you are into that sort of thing. Its a completely different animal. It didnt earn 60 million in sales on the first day so that everyone could play through that incredible solo campaign.
