Bobbeh Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 ... why this country usually seems to get stuff late/last? For example, GT4 for the Playstation 2, its been out in Japan over a month, and was released in the US last week, yet for us here in the UK, possibly Europe too, its not coming out till March the 9th!! Why is this, they know the game is going to be a massive success wherever its realeased, yet they keep us wainting and waiting. Same thing with Toyota, they brought out the Celica, for example, about 6-12 months before it was released here and at extra cost to us!

JamesG Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Could be to do with distribution - they have to make a lot of CDs so roll it out in stages. Also, it's quite a lot of work to convert a game between differing TV systems (it will be NTSC to PAL in this case). I actually did this in my previous job (on a much smaller game) and it took a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wassup One of the reason for this (my uncle is working in Sony Japan) is becouse there are multi-language need to be done for Euro version rather then just English version. US version = English only, Japan version = Japanese, Chinese version = Chinese. But Euro version = English, German, and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James I see your point too, although I'd have thought they'd have been more prepared for a rollout of a game thats been in production for around 4 years.

Marco Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Europe gets 10 cars more in GT4 than Japan en US, so it's not all bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
