The long awaited, rescheduled, postponed and potential racing game of the decade has finally gone gold according to Kazunori Yamauchi. I’d say its a safe bet that we see the game this year pretty easily.

We just asked Kazunori Yamauchi, the father of Gran Turismo, in an interview here at SEMA, the question on everyone’s minds — when will GT5 finally be released? His response: “The discs are being stamped as we speak.”

The picture above is Kazunori making a disc-stamping motion with his hands as he answered our query on the ever-shifting release date. We did talk about a number of different topics other than the release — and we’ll have more coming shortly — but for the moment, we thought we’d at least bring you that response.
