I ve been reading about all these new stuff u guys would like to see in gt4 and being a gt3 and gtc fanatic i'd sure like to have car damage, pit crew, different weather conditions, more cars in the races, no top in convertibles etc etc etc
STILL, after playing a little of TOCA racedriver I have to say that I hope PD wont compromise the realism of the series because TOCA really sucks! I was going to buy that game after reading about all these new stuff but fortunately for me, my nephew went ahead and bought it himself so I was able to see what crap that game is! Maybe if I had never played granturismo I wouldn't say this but TOCA is miles away from gt3 - and its more than a year newer!
OK. i'm a bit past the age of enjoying that plot codemasters introduced to the game, but it´s not only that: that game has this cartoonish feel to it because of the pilots which are far from being realistic, the asphalt looks like ****, the cars turn by little jerks instead of a continuous turn and they simply don't turn while breaking! its so bad i couldn't believe it (even thought my nephew had been sold some bootleg version!)
Anyway, my point is: I´d rather have gt4 with some extra cars and traks, maybe one or two extra features (I'm sure PD would handle them much better than codemasters) than have all this things and a crappy game! I dont know much about programing but it seems to me that creating a perfect car (and gt cars are nearly perfect) is way easier that creating perfect - or at least realistic - human figures and so I think PD should not - unlike codemasters - bite more than they can shew (is this the correct idiom?-sorry my english stinks!)
But i´m not really afraid; those guys at PD are sooooo good that i dont think they would ever make gt4 crap
