The attention to detail is spotted. Sometimes it's extreme, others it's barely there.
However, I think PD did a good job of creating many different types of locales.
We have tight mountain roads and rally courses. We have broad high speed race tracks. We have very technical race tracks. New, old, short, long.
Even the use of lighting is nice. It's not all one type of light. You can actually tell if you are racing in morning, noon, afternoon, or evening. Combine that with the cars and it's amazing.
The only beef I have other than the inverted TV lines bug is that when you drive on the italians course......ummm. almifi or whatever it was..........when you drive near the rock face halfway through, the car shines too much in the shadow. It makes it look too glossy and VERY unreal. Not just videogame....but almost as if it was intentional. I think that's the only "attention to detail" area they needed to work on.
But given the specs of the machine they had to work on (an aging PS2 platform) they did a great job.
Here's to GT5 on PS3!

Yeah, we covered that on post#24 & 25.
P.S. I agree with S31Ender. KY is Japanese, GT is an Japanese game series(yes, I realize it's being marketed worldwide). I think he's doing his best to put in as much American, European, Australian cars as possible. I can understand the frustration, but calling him "biased", like he's some sort of racist is uncalled for, IMO. Thanks, S31, also for letting them know about calling people/things "Japanese" or "yank".
ya.
I lived in Japan for two years and it angers me when I hear someone here in the states use the term." With that in mind also, I am an american and I hear others from around the world refer to the US population as "wasteful yanks".
While that is true for many (just owning a car puts you in a more wastefull catagory compared to China or Japan where only 9 percent of the population own their own car compared to the 78 percent in the US.) I for one am not one. I have respect for the environment and I don't think I'm better the anyone else just because my country happens to be the most powerful nation in the world. (which it got that way by "borrowing" and not paying back, from many other countries).
The african-americans/native africans/all peoples of black descent hate it when others call them the N word or the japanese the J word the americans have an insult too, Yank.
Which by the way, in case no one knew, during the civil war of the US before it WAS the US............the south called fighters from the north, yankee's which is now shortened to Yank. It's interesting to know that the north was fighting FOR the freedom of blacks in America, the exact opposite reason why many non-americans call us Yanks.
Many people on the boards write the term as an abbr. of the word Japanese. Some don't know what the term means, most do. If people can't take the time to write out the word Japanese so that they may avoid using racial slurs in their posts, well, then they just aren't respectful.
In fact. I would like the moderators to give it serious thought to adding a rule to the forum that posters may not use racial slurs......even if they are only using them for abbr. That would mean everyone would have to type out Japanese or maybe use Jpn instead (which is the official abbr. for Japan.)
It's about having proper respect. And it only shows what people really think if it's allowed to continue.
Remember, there are people of a young age who attend these forums..........do you really want to be teaching your kids to call everyone racial slurs? I didn't think so.
Sorry for the caps
