The more I watch, the less I'm feeling it. If this was coming out in the next month or two, I'd definitely jump in, but if it's not coming out til later in the year, I think I'll just go with the new Forza Motorsport. I've got a PC for more serious sim'ing, and I really just want a nice collectathon AAA sim with nice customization and some semblance of a single player mode alongside the online aspects.
I'm still not blown away by the graphics like many others are, either. It looks good, the exterior of the cars and the lighting are very nice. Image quality has improved a lot as well from earlier builds. But the rest just seems quite average in terms of my expectations for a AAA game. I really did expect more from PD. And the lack of cars, lack of any upgrades, lack of proper single player, slow AI - I have to say - if this game is to win me over, they're gonna really need to nail the online aspects and knock it out of the park. They need flawless servers, excellent matchmaking with similarly skilled racers, and a good balance of competitive machinery. No upgrades makes me worry there will be some blatantly dominant cars in certain classes that everybody flocks to with no real ability to do anything about it. But if they can do an almost iRacing-level online effort for console, I'll consider it more seriously.
