What the hell went wrong polyphony?
5 years? I mean, when you say it out loud, thats a friggin long time to get it right and they failed miserably. Ive bought and played every single GT game that ever came out and every time, I was blown away by the quality. But this one, disappointed is an understatement.
Over a thousand cars, yet 70-80% are standard and lookin like they are from the PS2 or even PS1. And most of these are Asian. How many friggin versions of the Skyline do we really need? Availability of the cars sucks too.
Ive been playing 4-5 hrs a day since I got mine a day early and I've yet to find anything pre 70's for the Japan Classic. Damage is a joke. And where are the sparks that are described on the back cover of the game box? Collin McRae Rally 03 got this right back in the stoneage days! Smoke? Grid had this back in 2007 and looks better.
Wheres the support for G25/G27 wheels? Wheels dont get any better than these.
And the sound? UGH! A £9.99 Argos brand hairdryer sounds nicer than some of the engine notes. My wife has one so i know what I'm talkin about!
70 tracks? Where? Most of'em are variations of the same track and some of these look horrible. And why cant i feel the road surface apart from the rumble strips, which are way over the top?
Loading times are beyond ridiculous. And thats with the full install. I hate to think how bad they would be with the partial install.
The menus are the worst I've seen in my life. And dont get me started on the AI. UGH!
Dont get me wrong, there are alot of positive things about this release (struggling to think of any atm though
![Tongue :P :P](/wp-content/themes/gtp16/images/smilies/tongue.svg?v=3)
) and I get an enourmous amount of enjoyment when when I get a gold on one of tests, some of which God himself would struggle with, but this game should have been the pinnacle of racing games. It just isnt. Kaz must be laughing his ass off at us.
