Just like Forza then. Both being rushed, imo.
It is still a completely dynamic lighting engine. Every track they put out will have any possible time of day. I think it's great. You can start a race during the day and end at night depending on how long you race and how fast the day night cycle is set.
I think this will be a service type game that they support longer than a normal game. I recall them hinting at this. It would give them plenty of time to add weather effects and other features to the game over time. It is not ideal, but it's something.
