But can we go the other way with that argument?
I mean, 16 premium cars are confirmed. Premium cars are suspected to be somewhere between 200,000 and 500,000 polygons.
GT4 cars were around 4,000 if I remember correctly.
Obviously it's not 16*(200,000/4,000)=Number of cars we can see on track. Polygons aren't the only issue.
But surely we can push to 20 or even 24, if it's a standard car only event. The vast difference in polygons leaves quite a large black hole in the cell processor's power, which will go to waste otherwise.
I can understand exactly why PD have done what they have done. It wasn't intended, but they ran out of time. Those 200 cars are future proof, and providing they keep the licenses, those 200 cars will be in GT6, GT7 and so on and so forth. And they don't need to be touched, at all, regardless of the improvements in the hardware, because they are already so detailed.
