alright, here we go.
Why did I bring up DC? The question was is the Mini PS4 ready. And I brought up DC cause it's on the PS4. Simple right? I do think Driveclub has beaten GT at the quality level that GT used to be praised of.
With the KTM shot, Driveclub's is better imo, the Carbon Fiber alone. Is it a shock that a PS4 game looks better than a PS3? No. But the thing is with my "DC has destroyed PD" is that they have set a ridiculously high bar for the quality. GT6 is detailed and "better" than any other PS3 car game arguably.
But Driveclub is a "freaking arcade game with very few cars"
Yes, yes it is. But guess what. Quality over Quantity. Each car is modeled great and sounds amazing, (bar set for GT7) and the tracks look great too, and all have 24hr and weather change. (bar set for GT7) It even has a very basic, but still included Livery creator (bar set for GT7) And the cars actually feel alive. The shifts, the speed, the game feels proper and fun, where I can't remember the last time I had fun in GT6 that wasn't taking pictures.
30fps isn't good enough? Lol. k. I'll wait to see GT7 run more cars and more detail at 60. The game looks fine at 30fps, and the quality is still good across the board. I'd rather have 30fps and fewer and better looking/sounding cars than more poorly modeled and rigged cars at 60fps.
But the reason I have so little faith in GT7? GT6. Even said above GT6 was a Beta test for GT7? Then why did we all shell out 60$+ for a Beta test? GT4 to 5, I had amazing hopes that were pretty much destroyed by PD, and GT6 I bought cause I thought hey, it'll be great. But a quickly boring car list, and even VisionGT couldn't save it for me. Not to mention the promised track creator (another reason I bought the game) is probably never coming. So I have very little faith in GT7, and praise DC so much cause it's just a fun game to play. It's awesome to just drive the cars. Are they the most realistic things ever? No. But they're still a blast to drive.
But those 2 tessellation posts are what I brought up DC for. GT6 has this huge range in quality among it's "1200" cars. While DC only has a sliver of that, they all are the same level of detailed. But with GT6, Some look fantastic, others are still from GT4. A lot of GT6's premiums I don't think are ready for GT7, the Mini may look decently modeled, but the tire textures? the Brake disc? Black interior? Please tell me that's acceptable for a PS4 game, in 2015, where the competition has that, and much more. GT is supposed to be the real driving simulator. It needs to start looking like one imo.
Could GT7 be amazing? It could be. But look at GT5 to GT6. It wasn't a huge improvement. That's why I don't believe GT7 can beat, or meet the standards being pushed by not only their Xbox and PC competitiors, but right on their own hometurf of Playstation.
