Yea, the problem they have is that they have to release a pretty much perfect game or people are going to jump all over them for the tiniest thing. This isnt going to have much of an impact on GT5 sales, people will still buy the game. If it does flop and isnt pretty much perfect GT6 might have a little more trouble selling though.

I do not think that is what it was. He speaks primarily Japanese. And it was quoted from Japanese, so some phrases do not translate well when done into English, nor does it convey the proper emotion.

We see this all the time, thus the saying "lost in translation".

I was just about to post this very thing. Yes, I'd say it's a slight language barrier.

It's a shame, but you guys are probably right. Any bug or glitch, which will exist (making games is hard, no one will ever be perfect). These glitches, even if they are miniscule, will get pointed out again and again.

People need to calm down. It will be out when it's out. Step back, and realize that this is a truly massive game, and that it takes time to make. Especially when they are adding more features, and fixing bugs.

The amount of delays should have absolutely no bearing on any review scores or opinions of the game.

Agreed. This isn't an annual sports game. Announced 4 years ago, and in development for 5 is not unheard of. Especially the amount of content and polish this game will contain.
