I mean if tracks make 6 months to make, how much time did they waste on those pointless background locations for photo mode for example? The people wasting time with that could've been making sure classic GT tracks were up to next gen standard. Their resources were being used in all the wrong places, PD's refusal to use any outsourced help is noble but idiotic. They should've been making a racing game first, they put way too high an emphasis on what were accessory features at best in past GTs
Every feature in the game seemed half complete. The track creator, the weather and day/night system, the online, the damage model, the cars, the tracks, the single player seemed rushed and poorly planned.
The franchise needs a new director to make sure these resources aren't being wasted on pointless things. Or perhaps they just need stronger producers, because it seems like Kaz wasn't being accountable to anything in that massive development process. Kind of reminds me of Last Guardian. Seems like Yoshida just wants to be friends with all his employees
