I have been playing GT5 for the last 2 days and nights and have realised that the game and polyphony digital are pushing the PS3 to far. I can really appreciate PD's ambition but they need to realise the PS3 is not as powerful as sony claim.
The game is sacrificing track detail to get so many cars on the track. I would rather have 6 or 8 cars on track if it give me better track details like 3D trees and skid marks. The track tarmac is lacking and the trees are last generation 2D.
The front end and presentation are first class but there is slowdown and screen tear. I know its a demo but I do't think PD will pull it off.
I think TURN10 will have forza3 nearly completed by the time GT5 comes out and it will most likely build on what was missing in forza2.
Where are the reverse lights, permanent skid marks on track, realistic tyre noises, proper engine sounds, turbo whine when using turbo cars, full camera control around car when playing 3rd person,the decent opponent A.I.?
The london track has slowdown even with only 1 car and poor trackside detail and the building detail and texture is quite poor compared to PGR4's london.
Polyphont digital really,really has its work cut out.
The crowds and spectators are pathetic. Maybe PGR4 and forza 2 has spoiled me to much and I was expecting to much from GT5 but GT5 is meant to be the daddy of racing games. By the quality of and (I know its a demo) this my attitudes are not optimistic.
