The only thing that progressed so far are the graphics. The rest is really bad (sounds, physics) and many backward steps (no dynamic lighting or weather, no career) and seeing VGT, old and new Lemans cars racing together makes me wanna flee more than anything.
And Scapes, meh, puttint real nurb while the track is already in the game shows how PD is insecure of their own modelled version, otherwise I see no reason doing it. And Scapes is basically photoshopping made easier, with camera freedom removed.
I rate 3/10 only for graphics, but not enough to buy the game. Graphics alone don't make a game.
