Photomode - please show reflections of nearby cars

[GBO Possum]

Here is the situation on Mulsanne. My Rocket is a little ahead of an X-Bow. This is not a telephoto shot. The focal length is 50mm.

Without changing the position of the cars, here is the view of the back of the Rocket.

The lack of reflections is even more obvious if the cars are side by side.

Although I totally agree with your suggestion, I think that because of the PS3's hardware limitations, Polyphony had to make a few sacrifices. I'm sure it could be done, but it would most probably result in framerate dips. I could be wrong though.

 

[GBO Possum]

If it won't fit into PS3 technology, then maybe in PS4.

It's just something I'd like when it is feasible.

 

[decepticon]

Absolutely. Polyphony's quest to achieve ultra-realism will get a big boost with the PS4's technology now in their hands.

I agree with decepticon, creating true car reflections during a race would probably drop the frame rates. So I would rather do without them and have a smoother driving experience.

However.... I don't see why they can't be created in photo mode. There would be no frame rate issues to deal with and it would make the resulting photos much more interesting.

You'll have to de-chrome your Rocket to make it less obvious.

I'd certainly prefer a steady frame rate too. This suggestion was not assuming it could go into GT6, just that at some time in the future, I'd like to see it. When it's technologically feasible. I'm assuming that PD can assess these requests as to their technological feasibility, and if highly "liked" features need to be delayed into GT8, then at least they have our feedback.

Your suggestion about photo mode is really good! Would you like to create a requested feature for this? I'll vote for it!!

As for de-chroming the Rocket, are you kidding!? I went to a lot of trouble and expense to chrome up this and a lot of cars! I'm on a chroming mission right now. I know, my taste is all in my mouth and I'll hopefully move on from this phase!

It's not too far off now since they are already showing reflections of track side objects and the sky. Just a bit more processing power required - probably.

I would, but I think your thread title says it all really.

Chroming - It's just a passing phase before you move onto mattes.
