As you may very well know, the PS3 is a system quite limited in memory. Thus, if a developer wants higher visual quality in certain areas, other areas would have to be sacrificed.
So my question for everyone is what would you have preferred? A GT with lesser car models and tons of features? Or the higher quality car models we have today with features lacking?
I started this in response to another member on a news article and it evolved to this. (Plus T-12 came through and laid the smack-down! XD )
"I'ma play oddball for a sec and go a very different route.
Graphical fidelity means little to nothing to me in opposed to enjoyment.
If the graphics were scaled back to better level out the features in GT, I for one would be enamored.
Looking @ other feature heavy games on PS3, I've come to understand the limitations of what the PS3 is capable of across the board. And while some games may have had one thing, they were lacking in the simulation physics that GT provides (thus, my GT preference.
I for one would be perfectly happy with Test Drive Unlimited 2 level car models (with the exception of their tires and rims) if it mean't having a livery editor and more customizable parts. And honestly, if a game had PROPER simulated physics, I wouldn't mind if it had arcade 'EVERYTHING ELSE', heck, it could be cell shaded for all that I care, as long as I can race properly and enjoy myself with the features that have become a staple in the racing scene.
Save most of the pixel counting for photo mode imo. Am I saying PS2 level detail acceptable? No, but I am fine with other car models of slightly lesser detail as seen on other PS3 games. Realistically, GT6 has car models that are GT7/GT8 ready. I understand future proofing, but for the sake of what? Keep the higher pixeled car models for the right time, and give us slightly lower detailed models with more features and a smoother game experience. That's my say..."
What do you y'all think? (Also, I'll change the title if necessary. I was also thinking of a "Looks Vs Feel" poll, pitting graphics against physics against each other in their level of importance to all gamers/racers out there.
