No the reason it is boring is as follows.
In the three videos I have watched the player has been able to start from the back and pass the entire field within half a lap of starting.
The reason it is boring is because the AI is so slow that it is virtually impossible to lose a race in GT5 and it looks like it is going to be the same in GT6.
When you start a race, pass the entire field in 54 seconds and then have another 1.5 laps of driving around at the front, ,with the knowledge you can make a mistake crash into a barrier & still recover in your slightly deformed car & win the race.
This is not even close to the spirit of racing. It looks like yet another time trial with some moving chicanes to pass on the first lap.
All valid points. The AI needs to be faster and smarter. Now it's only fun when you're in an underpowered car, but how often is that the case? It's nice that Kaz has a vision for GT and all, but it wouldn't hurt to address a few problems that have been there for years. PD just doesn't listen to its community...
Edit: Also, there are so much opportunities with better AI. You could actually give each driver his/her own character (NOT like in B-Spec, that was awful). I mean, if I knew Josh Christenson or whatever was an aggressive driver, I would watch out for him in championship races. If I knew that Gerald Tovainen was slow on corner exits, I would try to overtake him on the straights. And so on and so on.
OK, GT has a lot of one-race events so it might not always work. But right now you're doing a championship over a massive time period and you don't even know your competition. PD always tries to 'involve' us in the moment by showing the garage shots, pit crew, the start up procedure (in the new trailer) but damn just simulate the life of a racing driver a little bit better.
We don't need to give press interviews or anything, I want want some small details like getting in the car, starting up the engine myself, driving out of the pit lane, completing a warm up lap, going to the grid myself to position the car, see the countdown lights and actually launch when I press the throttle and release the brakes. Not when the game says 'go'.
End of rant.
