“Gran Turismo 5 delay due to PS3 hack?”
“The problem arose when SCE mandated SDK 350 on all games releasing after October [because the anti-piracy measures of older SDKs have been compromised],” reads the post. “GT5 was about to go gold running on SDK 341, but it has been delayed by around a week so that they can update to SDK 350.
“This has caused a big headache for the manufacturing side, given how big this game is missing the gold date by even a week can cause a months worth of delay as slots are already taken up at this time of year for Blu-ray movies and such. So Sony had to find a three week slot big enough to make seven million+ copies of this and get them shipped out.”
That makes a lot more sense than a random “we absolutely need two more weeks to polish this game we’ve been working on for ten years.” And it brings insight into the headaches of manufacturing a multi-million seller.
