GTHD is a glorified graphics tech demo. By all graphical merits you're right, it looks absolutely phenomenal, from lighting to models; damn near photorealistic.
Put 7 more cars on screen and give me a next-gen track, as well as a complete, robust physics model, and really good AI, and tell me the game is going to hold stable at 60 FPS with the same graphical fidelity. Throw in dynamic damage and weather. Are they going to render all 400+ cars with the same exacting detail they have for the GTHD cars, what about the new cockpit view?
-So you mean to tell me Kazunori is lying on this venture?
[beatdeadhorse]Oh please, sure Cell is theoretically more powerful, but not as significantly so as you're letting on. Even then, its so much harder to push that much power out of the Cell compared to Xenon. The fact of the matter is that they are both very close in real world power.[/beatdeadhorse]
-No they are not. Cell is the beast of the two. Why are you in denial about this when it has been said and proven time again.
No, I don't expect a physics heavy game, but what physics they do apply I expect to accurately represent real life, and PD didn't do as good a job as they could have with that.
-dude take a nap your tripping
Forza 1 seemed to nail it pretty well and they weren't exactly working with the creme of the crop either. By all accounts and spreadsheet data, EE was supposedly the superior processor, but we all saw how that turned out. Ease of use can go a whole lot further than raw power.
-lol some devs want 60fps and accurate car models and handling and other want 30fps and crashes. I mean PD tossed it up and they went with what they good do best with the hardware they had.
DISCALIMER FOR YOUR PROBABLE WEAK ARGUMENT: In no way am I putting down the Cell as a capable processor. My point is that it's hard to work with and that often translates into performance that actually lands far below its theoretical factory numbers. I am also not doubting the talent of PD. They are a very talented studio and I expect GT5 to be amazing, but they also aren't exactly the physics/gear heads that the guys at T10 are. As I said before, GT5 will be great, but I don't think it will be as good a racing simulator as Forza is
-PD is way beyond T10 in more ways than you know. You know you guys need to do some research before posting. Cell seems to be throwing alot more stuff around on screen and damn smooth too. Those spu's sure opening the eyes of quite a few devs lately. Only one handles the ocean algorithms in lair. think about that.
