If you're a racing fanatic, you have probably been waiting, and waiting for GT5 to be released. Granted there is GT5 Prologue but as good as that is, you might be thinking that it's time for the full game to be released

However, Polyphony Digital head Kazunori Yamauchi explains why this hasn't happened: he wants to take the game “beyond gamer expectations.”

Speaking to the latest issue of Famitsu magazine (translated by the folks at 1up.com), Yamauchi-san commented, “The scale of this title is just dizzying, so daily progress is slow, but it’s still going forward at a steady clip,” adding, “All the basic stuff is complete, but we’re trying to give everything that little bit extra at present.”

“We could release it any time we want, really, but I want to have that classic GT-style ‘did we really have to go this far?’ feel going. I want to go way beyond gamer expectations.”

Gran Turismo 5 is scheduled for release in Japan on March 31, 2010. There is no sign however of a US release date.
