Gran Turismo PSP still exists, delayed until 2009

We had to laugh a little when we saw this webpage for the news: the release date listed for Gran Turismo 4 on PSP is still 03/24/2005. Yes, this game has been delayed and considered dead almost as much as Duke Nukem Forever, but we assure you it is alive and well. Kazunori Yamauchi also says this, though admits the game will not be ready until 2009. This latest delay comes courtesy of PS3 development hurdles in regard to Gran Turismo 5. It seems some kind of online functionality has been added to the PSP title, though, to connect it to the PS3. So it's evolving. We just have to wait. Forever.

I hope my PSP is still functioning by the time GT actually comes out, it has collected a lot of dust recently.

Didn't you tell us last time it would come out after GT5 and I thought you already told us about the online functions. Either way this games better be the best psp game so far. its taking this long I hope it doesnt fail nor do I wanna see a high price.

Looking at this fake screenshot gives me great notion: the PSP-3000 should incorporate OLED technology!

I don't. After GT5 I'll care even less. How different can the PSP version be from GT3&4 anyway?

It's different because it's on a portable system maybe? That's a pretty big difference, especially for those that use their portable systems from a place other than their sofa at home next to their big screen TV and PS3.

If the game is as awesome as the other GTs then it will be pretty sweet to have a racing game of that caliber in a hand held.

Well with how long the game is taking Sony should make this game a launch game with the PSP2. That way lots of people will rush to get the new PSP. Plus this would be a great launch game.

I bought a PSP for GT as well as other games and I'm still looking forward to it. But there is so much other stuff I still need to play. I buy way more than I have the time to play.

that doesnt make since. the ps2 slim didnt upgrade or have more options then the phat they just made it slimmer. the ps2 got slimmer had more options and has more memory how is that not a psp2. i can understand if my psp 1000 was up to date like the slim but its not and never will be. mine will always be a step behind.
