Not that you have any reason to believe it at this point, but Sony has announced yet another release date for Gran Turismo 5. After pushing the game back from its intended November 2 release, Sony and developer Polyphony now say we can expect to play the game starting on November 24.

We don't believe them, either. [Ben's note: there is the dim light of hope in my heart.]

"Gran Turismo 5 is an ambitious project, with challenges and complexities which have made it our version of the Apollo Space Program," Polyphony President Kazunori Yamauchi said.

"When we created the original Gran Turismo back in 1997, we wanted to set a completely new precedent for the racing genre. With the technological leap onto PlayStation 3, our objective with Gran Turismo 5 was to create another great revolution which would not only satisfy our own high expectations, but would meet or even exceed the anticipation of the fans," Yamauchi continued. The delays were only to make sure the dedicated plans would be pleased, of course.

"I can only apologize to everyone for making you wait so long, and I hope that when you try out the wealth of driving experiences available in Gran Turismo 5, you will not be disappointed," he added.

Expect news of GT5's latest delay in the coming weeks.
