Why all those people voting 16 and up? You want the game to run at 20fps?

I want to have 60 cars running on 60 FPS !

How to achieve this is up to PD.
They earn millions with this game so they should be able to do it...

I'm sorry but you are just wrong, they are limited by the hardware, not development costs. They have taken the PS3 to its limits with what they've created, 60 cars running these sort of graphics is laughable on all but the most powerful gaming PCs. By todays standards, the Playstation 3 is pathetic in terms of hardware performance.

Like i said, 16 cars in prologue is fine, but think what they have added since then, higher poly cars, improved lighting, weather (possibly dynamic) and in the case of race cars, damage. Now how do you expect they added all those things and manage to make it run on the same hardware? They have already squeezed the console for everything its got.

One possibility to achieve 60 cars / 60 fps would be i.e. to reduce the Polycount of the cars... I wouldnt mind... they would still look good to me.

I still don't think you can do it on the current system.
 
Of course I would like to see car counts that comply with each race's true number, but 16 is plenty as long as most of them are competitive. It doesnt matter if there are 100 if 99 are slow and there is 1 rabbit car

To achieve ~4x the number of cars they would need to quarter the poly count on all cars. It isn't going to happen.

I'd rather have the cars than the graphics.

Me too, but the poly count is unlikely to change that radically 2-3 months before release. Downscaling them won't really give the same effect, they would have to be re-done manually.
 
I thought so. To be honest, I highly doubt the number of cars will go down with GT5. It's just not a possibility, at least not a smart one.

I wish I knew how close to the PS2 limits was Gran Turismo 4. I would be really pissed if there was space for more things to be done, like cars and tracks. :grumpy: Its graphics continue to amaze me. 👍
 
If there were only 6 cars but with amazing AI I would be happy..

Its my biggest bug-bear with the GT series, the AI drivers have no personality... I'm no genius, but people with as much skill as PD, I'm really surprised they havent been more creative with regards to AI...

I suppose with a big online feature, real people will offer much better competition!!!

It's still nice to have a decent offline option though, I found with other online racers that you either have idiots ruining your race, or people who do nothing but race day in day out and demolish the competition - and nobody likes to lose all the time.
