Yamauchi: Gran Turismo 5 discs “being stamped as we speak”

Kazunori Yamauchi, creator of the Gran Turismo franchise, has told vehicle enthusiast site Jalopnik during an interview at SEMA 2010 that Gran Turismo 5 has completed development.

“The [Gran Turismo 5] discs are being stamped as we speak,” he told the site.

Earlier today, rumors surfaced that there is “not much hope” for a Gran Turismo 5 release in 2010. Yamauchi’s comments at SEMA may prove otherwise.

Let’s hope for the best.
