This hasn’t been officially confirmed yet. After the recent speculation about Gran Turismo 5 featuring a track editor, Polyphony Digital has “confirmed” that the sequel will indeed feature a track editor; allowing players to edit and create tracks.

“Yes it will have a track editor. You will be able to rebuild a track from scratch or edit the tracks that are already put in Gran Turismo 5,” a Polyphony Digital spokesperson confirmed to Everything 4 Gamers. However, any other details about the track editor haven’t been revealed, but, hopefully, soon we’ll see some details.

They then when on to talk about the game receiving a “simultaneous release” worldwide. Responding: “Sorry, we can’t give out any of that information at the moment. You will just have to wait and see.”  We’ve contacted Sony to see if any of these details are true.

While it’s still unsure when we’ll be getting Gran Turismo 5 in North America, Kazunori Yamauchi has stated that they could release Gran Turismo 5 right now. However, Polyphony Digital won’t be doing that. You see, the studio wants to make sure that it has “that classic GT feel”, the studio head explains Famitsu.

“We could release it any time we want,” he tells Famitsu. But, Polyphony Digital is more interested in making the overall experience prefect for everyone that’s going to be buying the game, translates 1UP. However, although “daily progress is slow,” the Japanese developer insures that “[the game's] still going forward at a steady clip.”

With that said, this is excellent news, even if we still have to wait for a solid release date.

Who said this day can’t get any better? Well, if you call this better, you must like the long wait for Killzone 2 because in my world this is a very bad thing. According to ComputerAndVideoGame, Ubisoft has confirmed a delay for Tom Clancy’s HAWX until 2009. This will put the release date for the game somewhere between January and March of next year. The game was originally scheduled for landing somewhere in September, but the publisher’s seemingly decided to wait a bit longer for clearance. No official reason was given for the delay.
