In a new commercial dedicated to Mod Nation Racers released today, the hilarious Playstation face Kevin Butler, after trash talking and eventually getting owned by a gloating Jack Tretton, drops the following line: "That is if I'm not too busy with my next project: let's just say it's a little racing game that rhymes with Man Furismo Jive".
The hint to Gran Turismo 5 is completely obvious, and seems to indicate that an announcement of the release date of the massively awaited and massively delayed racing simulator by Polyphony Digital may really be imminent (my prediction is that it'll be one of the biggest Sony cards at E3).
The line is actually open to interpretation. Did he mean his next project as a fictional VP, or his next commercial? If he meant his next commercial, then it's very possible that the fabled release date could be quite a lot nearer that many expect, since you don't normally make a commercial for a game that's still several months away.
Are we going to see Kevin Butler owned by Kazunori Yamauchi anytime soon?
One thing is for sure, Sony would do better to have Kevin Butler host their presser at E3, it would definitely make for a much more enjoyable presentation.
As usual, we'll have to wait and see. It's not that we aren't used to it by now :P

It's about time it was given a release date. I agree, E3 will be its final push and it'll be out October time, in my opinion.
