I definately remember some restructuring and I believe even a relocation (which some people made a massive deal about), but I don't recall Kaz being removed from being Vice president as far as I can recall.

In my opinion GT7 hits the mark with enough driving feel and car modeling and the visuals. Forza Motorsport has still a lot of work to do imo in comparison. Plus I'd need to buy an Xbox and new racing wheel setup to play it.

I think Forza is more arcadish game than GT. They go in different roads..

A one-off LOD bug is not really a fair comparison to what GT looks like. If you want to take that road, we can do it with Forza as well.
It's disingenuous to use either comparison. We both know 99.9% of cars in actual gameplay look better than what either you or I posted. I know you love to dunk on GT at every opportunity, but at least be honest about it.

Well, yeah? Using lower LODs in gameplay is neither unusual nor unique to GT. The inconsistency is funny, but again if you look at Forza it's the exact same. It's hardly a mark against GT that proves other games do it better.
For example, the S15's grill/bumper in Forza is just an undetailed gaping maw.

In all fairness here, I think nitpicking a small detail like the detail of the interior of the car from the chase cam is perhaps a little excessive given that you're focused on a lot of other, more important things during a race. And that's if you're using the chase cam at all. Cockpit view gives you the full detail and looks realistic, and the rest of the views you don't see it at all. Granted PD do like to brag about their attention to detail with the cars but it's also a video game and sacrifices have to be made in places to make sure the game can actually run smoothly. Having to render the full exterior and interior of cars would likely tank performance, and absolutely wreck the online performance.

I play and enjoy both games but I will have to admit that GT models are more accurate than Forza models atleast when comparing the same cars between both games, not sure how they will look in the upcoming game but there are a ton of complaints about certain cars in Forza being incorrect or having the wrong details. I've even complained myself about the CLK in Forza being a Frankenstein of almost every real variation rolled into one.

Indeed, it wouldn't be very profitable for a 1000 strong dev team to spend 10 years on one game. When that does happen, that's a developer that's probably going bust. Certainly one that's in major trouble.
You'd be looking at the game costing around half a billion pounds to develop just on staff and premesis, let alone licensing (if applicable), publishing and marketing.

Hmm, it's weird because there's legitimately nothing about it online. I did find one random website where they state it but little else.
But anyways, under current SIE's structure he would at the very least have Hermen Hulst between Jim and himself, since PD is under PlayStation Studios.

It's listed in many places, including press releases:

However it's worth noting that he was a senior vice-president (and at SCE, then SIE, seemingly now an EVP at a third version of the group; I guess the), not the.2017 joint statement with TAG Heuer

Oh, thanks! Yeah, I did see that SIE has a lot of vice presidents depending for different segments. SIE WWS is what's known now as PlayStation Studios, so if he retains that position now he indeed has Hermen in-between Jim at the top. I don't see any other PS Studio president with the title of executive vice president, though I haven't looked at it deeply, so maybe he still has greater power than the rest?It's listed in many places, including press releases:

Out of curiosity, where does Executive Vice President sit relative to Senior Vice President?It's listed in many places, including press releases:

Indeed. I've stopped using chase cam altogether in GT7 because of details like this. The cockpit cam is really well done if you don't look too closely at the non-functioning gauges and sequential gearboxes being shifted in reverse.
GT having "by far the most detailed models" is a thing of the past. Other games have caught up, if not surpassed GT in certain ways, and thanks to the limiting factor of the console itself (especially last gen consoles), the finer details won't be displayed in gameplay anyway.

Diffcult to say with any certainty without understanding specifically how the structure and responsabilities are shared in this example, but typically an Executive Vice President will have a broadser scope of influence and responsabilities whereas a Senior Vice President will typically preside over a more specific department or area of a business.

I can't believe the Forza devs saw the absolute ******** that came from Gran Turismo re-using ancient car models 10 or so years ago and thought "Yeah we should totally try doing that too!"

It's also not really the same. It's not as if the models are a straight port of the ones from FM1. They're upscaled, retextured, given an interior. That was done in FM3. The issue is that they still have the same inaccuracies they always had.
Gran Turismo's standard models were significantly worse than the premium models. They should not have even been in the same game, they are so obviously different to even the most casual player. Forza's are wrong, and old, and outdated, and should be scrapped or redone or at the very least fixed to solve the most major issues. But they're not PS2 models. Casual players don't know the difference. That's why they won't bother, they made them good enough to your average player.

Not often be mentioned, but GT SPORT, and GT7 as well, use almost 15-year old 3D model bases for some cars.
One of the cars with the oldest 3D model base is the Eunos Roadster, which only refined its GTHD model, made in (or before) 2006.
Here're the comparison images; taken by @emula.
