Wolfe, you won't listen to anything anyone says. All you do is argue when the subject is Playstation or Gran Turismo.
Have a nice life.
I have been, and will continue to do so.
If you're so convinced that every single word that I type is a lie, I don't know why you haven't simply blocked me yet.
Honestly, I didn't know that preferring Enthusia, Live for Speed, and Gran Turismo 3 over Gran Turismo 4...jokingly hoping that the PS3 would flop...buying only the Wii out of the next-gen consoles...watching four PS2s wither and die before my own eyes and thus deciding to not spend $600 on a Sony product with never-before-seen technology...agreeing with over 75% of the board in saying that GTHD's microtransactions system looks like a load of bullocks so far...and observing that GTHD's graphics -- albeit in an unfinished state -- indicate that GTHD may be just another example of the many modern games that fall short of delivering stunning visuals due to the work load necessary to accomplish such a thing these days, were crimes.
Hell, I didn't know that disagreeing with you was a crime. For that, I apologize, especially since I did it just to make you mad and not because I actually have opinions of my own that may differ from yours.
Sarcasm aside, you have two options.
You can either PM me (or even a moderator) if you take offense to the way I go about things around here, or you can put me on your ignore list and forget about me.
Frankly, I don't see why you see the need to conclude for everyone else's "benefit" that I "never listen to anything anyone says," and I'm getting tired of your temper-tantrums that inevitably pop up whenever I try to intelligently discuss anything with you, particularly because they "conveniently" allow you to escape without giving an answer. Whether or not that is intentional is beyond me.
I will not stop posting my opinion on any subject just to make you happy, and I will not allow my views to be censored by someone who isn't a GTP staff member. So what if I don't like GT4, won't be buying a PS3 until it's old and cheap, and think GTHD might end up ripping off GT fans who fall for it? Does that make me a lesser GTP member?
I'm posting this here because I'd rather have people read this than allow you to say whatever you want about me. Is that immature? Yes, somewhat, but it takes two children to get into a childish dispute like this, and an adult to end it, and I want to end it here and now. This isn't the first time that you've "given up" on me, only to throw another tantrum down the road, so saying "have a nice life" and backing out isn't going to cut it this time.
So, what'll it be?
Agreed, but isn't it kind of normal for a game to look unfinished when it is unfinished? I do get your point, and I see the problem to fill HDTV content with details that fool the eye into realism. However, PD has done a very good job regarding that so far, and I am pretty sure they will with GT5.

True, but I would assume that something important and universal, like reflections/lighting, would be finished or almost finished this late in the production cycle. That's a graphics
engine thing, not a graphics
content thing.
I don't blame PD for some of the poor textures we've been seeing, nor do I even blame them for the shadow-less Ferrari in that video (because I know they know better than to release a GT without shadows
). I
do question those reflections, though, and the overall lighting on the cars in the screenshots I've been seeing.
Also, to me, this isn't a matter of whether or not GTHD looks "good." I'm merely surprised that the next entry in the Gran Turismo series, which has historically been among the very best in the industry when it comes to graphics, isn't really impressing me so far, and I fear what that means for other games in the next-generation.
....but either way, I have faith in PD because as soon as all the reflections and and shadows are added, it's gonna be BE-A-U-TI-Ful.
That, and because of the way or apartment is designed, we can't fit anything bigger than 40" (42" if it has really slim edges...) and I've not seen a true 1920x1080 under 50"....
