Yoshida attributes the long delay to other titles Polyphohy Digital have been working on, namely Gran Turismo 5 Prologue and Gran Turismo 5 for PS3. He was also unable to provide a timeframe for when the game will be released. Yamauchi believes the game won't be out until after Gran Turismo 5 makes its debut, which means PSP owners will have to wait another two years. Sigh.

What a joke. This kind of crap is what makes publishers look at the PSP and laugh. If the PS3 takes precedence over the PSP in Sony's eyes (and has a fraction of the installed base), why should developers feel differently?

Whatever.... If it had shown up within 1 year of the psp launch it would have been relevant. But this company just takes too long for EVERYTHING.
GT5 better be the best game ever made...

Well if you don't want to wait for these games, don't.
I hate it when people bitch about stuff like this, would you prefer they just didn't make it?

Don't be a tool and leave your blog link in your post...
As a PSP owner for years - one of the first things I kept showing clips to all my friends when the PSP was announced was what turned into the vaporware GT mobile.
I believe after nearly 4 years of waiting since the pre-launch video that I and many other PSP owners have a right to no longer care about something that will never show up.
If you read my comment you might be able to infer that "Whatever.... If it had shown up within 1 year of the psp launch it would have been relevant. " means I am not waiting on it.

It was a comment aimed more to rebut "But this company just takes too long for EVERYTHING."
I'd agree the company takes a long time between releases, but apart from us not having a new game to play each year, thats nearly a globally good thing.
Higher quality games with real polish and meaningful advancement between iterations - whats bad about that?
And personally, I'm so glad GT didn't hit PSP within 12 months of launch, imagine if Crisis Core of God of War had, they certainly wouldn't be as awesome as they turned out - sometimes its best to wait for this stuff.

Contradict yourself, much? Fans 'shouldn't be bitchin at them' but you can 'see why your pissed.'
FYI, they've been saying this very thing since 2004. Enough is goddamned well enough.

Well....at least the developers took the time out of their busy schedule to tell us that something is still alive. Unlike DNF devs.

So three years ago when GT on PSP was a launch title, what they meant was that it would be a launch title for the PSP 3000? Yeah, right...

Yeah I belive this was suppose to be a launch title, i've been hearing the same thing for almost if not 3 years. I'll believe it when I see it.
Gran Turismo Mobile = a Myth!

I forgot all about this game. I thought it got canceled or something. But I'll believe it's coming out when it is in stores, until then it nothing but a myth.

As much as I want GT on the PSP I think it would be better to make the game as a launch game for the PSP2.

Anyway, the guys at polyphony digital must be the slowest development team, like... ever. That, or it's just one guy.

No, I think they just aren't really working on it. First they did Tourist Trophy for the PS2 instead of this. Then they started working on GT5. When they get done with GT5, then they will start working on this.
