The cryptic message in the forums here seem to spell out the following:

- Simultaneous worldwide GT5 release March 2010. (12 months - 30 days)

- 600 cars and 96 tracks, some of which are modelled from previous releases.

- Customisable user created tracks

- Multiplayer with voice chat, clan/team support

- Two versions to be released. One full version - more expensive, one cheaper, but able to download and customise what is required. eg Blu Ray/PSN editions?

- Another platform release - one that "has not been uncovered". PSP2 perhaps?

VG247: SCEA marketing head John Koller has dropped a heavy hint that Gran Turismo's future may not be limited to just PSP and PS3.

"[Polyphony Digital] report directly into our CEO, Kaz Hirai, so it's a little bit of a 'wait and see'," the exec told VG247 when asked when we can expect to see GT5.

"But we look for that franchise to continue on as many platforms as possible."

"Another research study has emerged, this time broadcasting the psychological effects of various video game genres. It's rather fascinating, to say the least. What's more surprising (as you'll soon discover) is that racing simulators seem to have more averse effects on gamers than shooting titles…well, duh."

Polyphony Digital president Kazunori Yamauchi spoke about his company a bit in this ever changing industry. Of course, he talked quite a bit about Gran Turismo. He then lets loose a bombshell. He says that while Polyphony is exclusively in charge of car games, the company wants to make a new, distinctly different game.

Here's an excerpt from the article

"The OXCGN article spreads quickly after being submitted to N4G with a sensational headline. The news is immediately picked up by forum users at EvilAvatar, editors at Play3-Live.com, GamesBlog.it, Kotaku Australia, and dozens of other blogs and message boards.

Everywhere the news has been posted, it has sparked quite a bit of discussion. GT news junkies (GTP readers, I'm sure!) were quick to point out the age of the comments, but unfortunately this will continue to needlessly confuse and disgruntle casual fans of the series. So, if you see someone else touting this as 'breaking news', point them here and set the record straight."

Be sure to read the information on their website for the full facts.

Edit: As people are already starting to report this for "improper title" I have this to add as per N4G posting guidelines ~

"So do not edit the original title or create your own headlines unless the original doesn't make any sense when posted on N4G"

If you go to the actual link and read the original title it will only confuse the situation more (as the main article is MEANT to clear up misinformation that was started from here @ N4G) so it is well within the guidelines to adjust the title for this news...

Speculation about the release date for Gran Turismo 5 has been running rampant lately. Although GT5: Prologue, a small taste of what the full game has in store, arrived earlier this year, no news was announced about when the full game would hit shelves. However, James Armstrong, head of Sony's Southern Europe division, released some exciting news about when we may see the latest iteration in the Gran Turismo franchise in a statement to Spanish newspaper El Financiero.

From OXCGN:
"They need to put out a game each 2 years, which allows the a year in pre-release period to work on the future iteration, like every other normal developer does, and they SELL copies and people would buy the NEXT iteration at the same rate, making them more $$ and getting the same, if not more support from fans.

This is a slap in the face to any GT5 supporter, basically saying, well we don't care how much you might want it, you're not getting until we're ready, even if that takes 5 yrs . .and that 2010 is only a "rough time frame. What happens if they come out mid 2010 and say . . well, we've had to advance the game as the PS3 has had advances (or Sony has put the PS4 out) so we have to re-work the game or do more to it."

From CVG:

Kazunori Yamauchi has huge plans for online components in the Gran Turismo series, but says technology will need to improve to accommodate his vision.

"We've only done a very small part of what we want to do online, and of course there's a lot of things you can do online that we haven't even touched yet," he said when asked of the future of the Gran Turismo series.

"A lot of that will not only depend on the advancement of the hardware, but of the infrastructure of the internet - connection speeds and things like that," he added.
