Which would be fine if they'd spent (non literal) 10 minutes on it. However it seems they have actually spent a lot of time working on it. Taking 1000+ photos, working on the lighting tech, clearly not simple. You have to admire the result, but ask yourself at what expense it comes at.

It was even one of the primary reasons mentioned in the delay post.

On the other hand, lighting a CG model with an HDRI map is nothing extraordinary new. Depending on the level of complexity of the scape of course (we have seen some with more interactive elements at play). For the most basic ones (I assume a majority of them) the task probably consist at assigning a photographer.

Speculation, opinion and pretty much unfounded wiffle. As for the 'make believe cars' well, as has exhaustively been explained, the special car from GT6 were development projects from the manufacturers themselves.

Trouble is, with a lack of clear communication no one can say either way what is really going to happen...or not.

I have no problem with you calling my post speculation and opinion because it's exactly that. Nothing wrong with speculations and opinions as long as they're founded and backed with arguments, specially when, like you said, the absolute lack of communication leaves us with little else to discuss besides our own speculations and opinions.

But calling it unfounded? I disagree. We know how PoDi has operated in the past, we've read their statements, scrutinized their trailers and press releases and, of course, played the games. The bitter disapointment and pessimism I, and various others around her, feel is due to seeing PoDi doing exactly the same that resulted in sub-par games in the recent years. The same dumb mistakes that ruin a game with great potential, the same absurd attention to detail on some aspects that few people care about and an equally absurd disregard for the critical aspects the community has voiced time and time again and, again, the complete lack of communication.

Are my complaints bitter? Sure, I'm seeing a man kill his :censored:ing masterpiece with his own hands, a work I've been following for most of my life. Are they pessimistic? You betcha. Unfounded? After the cash I spent on Kaz's "vision" on the PS3? Naaaahh...I don't think so :lol:
