Gran Turismo 5 getting simultaneous worldwide release?
Gran Turimso 5 has been in development seemingly forever but that’s to be expected considering the amount of effort Polyphony Digital is putting into it. While we have yet to see a solid release date, one could only expect that the game hit North American shelves sometime after it dropped in Japan.
Thankfully, Polyphony Digital’s Kazunori Yamauchi recently sat down for an interview to speak of the issue where he was quoted to have said, “its release is not too far away – it will be after the PSP GT release – and, most likely, it will be a simultaneous worldwide release.”
Most likely, huh? That doesn’t sound too promising but it can at least be assumed GT5 will be released in Japan and North America very close to one another.
