Ignorant posts like this are such a turn off. This game is beyond advanced. If you know anything about hardware and programming you wouldn't be making such claims. Let me clear a few things up for you, and put things into perspective. The post above yours has some good points, but leaves out a few things.
Firstly. The ps3's cell processor is the most advanced/powerful processor in homes as we speak. Its even more powerful than the six core processors available in our home computers in terms of mathamatical operations. Gran Turismo is one of the few games to have utilized more than 90% of the cell's capacity. Gran Turismo 5 doesn't use the ps3's built in graphics accelerator, all operations are handled on the cell itself. This is why the game looks so pretty, and runs at a full 60fps. It could never achieve this using the on-board graphics that Sony included in the hardware to make coding for the ps3 easier for "third party developers."
Secondly. Recycled cars are not recycled. They have been totally re-rendered, and touched up by Pd's 3d artists. Yes they may be from a previous game, but that's no reason to call them recycled. Modeling is very time consuming, and we would never see the game on shelves if PD took the time to remodel all the cars in 3d with Interior Views.
Third, the game is in 3d. Meaning, not only do they have to model the cars/tracks for your standard non 3d television, They also have to model for your 3d televisions. These models are complex, and take up tons of space on the disk. Its no wonder there's only 200 3d modeled interiors. Which if you ask me, is quite a feat. I know some of you are thinking, "hey I could give a rats 🤬 about 3d, I don't own a 3d television." Well that's what comes with new technology. There's always going be the transistion phase where its not going to be for everyone.
Fourth, This isn't your company, this isn't your game, this isn't your idea, or vision. Its Kaz's, and Kaz's alone. If he says the game isn't ready to be released, its not coming out, no matter how much the public demands it.
Fifth. The game's engine/physics have been totally re-written. And that's something that takes a long time to get right. Imagine the mathmatics invovled in creating the tire physics, the roll of the car, weigh of all the components, placement of that weigh over the wheels, inertia, gravity, wind, humidity, rain, snow, weight of the driver, friction from road surfaces, aerodynamics, etc, etc. All very complex systems that took someone a ton of hard work to code. And from playing the TT demo last Christmas I feel they did an EXCELENT Job. Tho i'm sure some changes have taken place since then.
End Rant.
On an exit note, I'm not flaming anyone, or trying troll, I just feel that PD isn't getting credit where credit is deserved. These guys busted their butts to bring us the most advanced console driving simulator of our time.
hey i'm sure i've seen something similar before ?
