Yeah it will look good, but will it be good enough?

Don't get me wrong, GTHD looks amazing, it reall does. Hovever, it still feels like an old GT game. I'm sorry to say, but it feels like an arcade game more than a simulation game. The reason, I think, is because of lack of small details that can make or break a racing game. Any of you remember Sports Car GT for PC? ( http://www.gamespot.com/pc/driving/sportscargt/index.html?q=gt&tag=result;title;8 ) Now that game was my favorite racing game ever. The graphics aren't good by today's standards, but it's so damn fun. Details like being able to clip the car from behind and actually afect it's racing line and trajectory, computer AI being smart by brakeing and trying to avoid accidents, loosing traction when going thru a corner, the back end will slide and break out, tire marks, rain/dry races which require you to think of a strategy, change tires, and time pitstops. AI oponents will experiance break downs, and also will take each other out of the race. EA did an amazing job, but the problem was that is was based on a racing series, and was a small budget project. Now imagine SCGT and GT5 mixed together. That would be the best racing game ever.
 
GTHD is just a demo to show what pretty graphics PS3 can produce.

I'm sure GT5 will blow everything else out of the water.
 
I'm hoping GT5 has everything polished :cough: sound :cough: but I'm not gonna hold my breath...
 
Yes, I think it will be good enough. Kazunori-dono always sets high standards which are difficult for the current Playstation to meet, but he manages to pull it off. I'd bring up another game for the PS3. Formula 1 Championship. What does it have?
  • Awesome graphics, sound and environments.
  • Excellently rendered, lifelike race courses with superb environments.
  • Lots of race courses, with a full racing season.
  • Almost photoreal race cars, with terrific physics and crash modeling.
  • 22 cars per race offline, 11 online.
  • Weather, with knuckle whitening realism.
What else is coming? Forza 2 and Colin McRae Dirt, two extremely well done games with lots of items to recommend them.

Kaz and the lads know the bar is high, and as usual, I expect them to raise it even higher.

I also disagree with you about GT HD. I think you must be playing Forza. ;)
 
This sort of "next gen GT: will it be good enough" question is the topic of discussion in many threads.
Primarily though, this is the question of the "is gt lossing the battle to forza thread."

Had the topic of this thread been stated differently and touched a different subject I would be inclined not to act.
However, being that this subject is so common and already well into discussion in the "Is GT lossing the battle to Forza" thread...

Thread closed, please take discussions of your hopes, concerns, and predictions to the various already existing threads around the GT5 forum.

:cheers:
