Atmosphere really does hit the 'geriatric' zones sometimes, especially some of the in-game music. I wish PD would stop the easy-listening rubbish they put on the menus. Nobody who listens to classical music would ever be caught dead playing a video game like this and I struggle to understand Polyphony's intended market sometimes. Are they targeting hardcore enthusiasts or are they looking to please automotive executives who spend too much time in board-room meetings?
I would dearly love a more 'aggressive' atmosphere to Gran Turismo, not this slide-between-the-sheets thing they've got at the moment. It started with GT2 and has grown progressively more upmarket since then and is now bordering on ridiculous. The gamers of Gran Turismo do not eat with golden forks, they do not have a grand piano in their living room, do not play polo with Prince Charles and are not escorted to and from work in a chauffeured Rolls Royce.
The most atmosphere GT has ever had on the race tracks is a cheering crowd, somewhat ridiculous seeing as you'd never hear them above the roar of your engine anyways. And most serious race events these days have massive screens for public viewing and I have yet to see one screen around a racetrack in GT.
I think PD have a stale development team and they're struggling for fresh ideas at the moment. Could it be a case of living in their own minds?
