Kenshin001 said:I wouldn't mind a 2 year cycle like Forza. No standard cars, updated/new tracks, better/more intuitive UI, better crash damage and weather option on all tracks. I don't see why updates and a new game have to be mutually exclusive. Problem is PD are not efficient developers and they should be hiring more people or outsourcing.
Kaz, being the control freak that he is, would never allow it.Polyphony said:I agree with the outsourcing. Turn 10 is using it to their advantage, and it's working very well for them.
Outsourcing can't be controlled?Mush said:Kaz, being the control freak that he is, would never allow it.
ZeroRay said:Give PD shit for anything else, but they supported their game better than any console dev this gen, or any gen really when you think about it.
AgentChris said:PD has 2 studios now. I suppose one can focus on models and the other can focus on the gameplay stuff.
He'd have to be on site 24/7 to oversee everything to make sure they meet PD's standards.Yoboman said:Outsourcing can't be controlled?

Surely he must have some apprentice he's taken under his wing over these years?AgentChris said:Damn right.

Kaz should get his priorities right.
I really don't understand all the backslapping for Kaz. It's like building a highway full of potholes and bumps and congratulating the council when they fix it. There was near zero interaction with fans and gamers before the game was released and if I remember Kaz said he didn't pay much attention to other games. It showed.
Yeah. I do give PD a lot of shit for the state of GT, and the lack of evolution in the series over the years, but they have supported GT5 like troopers, far better than I expected.ZeroRay said:Give PD shit for anything else, but they supported their game better than any console dev this gen, or any gen really when you think about it.

Translator-san, perhaps?

couldnt they just get a sign that says "NEEDS MORE POLYGONS!" and hang it in the other studio.Mush said:That doesn't solve the issue of there being only one Kazunori Yamauchi!
Kenshin001 said:Nurburgring looks great, can't deny that. The trees on Autumn Ring look laughable though. I don't really "care" about GT5, it's not my child, but I did pay money for it and was pretty disappointed given it was supposed to be the pinnacle of 5 years work, a graphical showcase and a new era in the series. Part of the problem was the huge discrepancy in standard ie. half the game looked magnificent, half looked like an upgraded PS2 game, the handling was fantastic but the UI and car management were shit etc. etc.
Metalmurphy said:I can't take anyone who still metions "2D Trees" seriously...
Have you guys seen GT5s Nurburgring? It's the best representation of the track ANYWHERE, 2D Trees is actually a benefit here, it's easier to make a representation of the real thing in 2D rather then using some 3D Trees that have nothing to do with the real thing like most games use, because the real thing would be to complex to do fully in 3D.
There is no downside to using 2D trees other then the fact that you can use it for trolling in game forums. If you're complaining about a racing game like GT5 using 2D Trees your nothing but a troll and you couldn't care less about the game.
Solal said:I am pretty sure we would have got nothing if Forza 4 was not there... credits to turn10 to force PD getting their head out of their butt.
patsu said:I'm sure if Gran Turismo is not there, console racing games -- including the entire Forza series -- would not be challenged as hard.
6. Replay front forward/rewind
It would be true if there would be even a single racing game with only 3D trees, but there isnt.Zaptruder said:You can do decent quality '3D trees' with basic geometry for the trunk and alpha transparent textures for the branches and leaves.
elektrixx said:Ahh, close. I won't play my copy until they add rewinding during gameplay.

gundamkyoukai said:If they ever do add rewinding during gameplay i hope you get nothing if you finish a race using it.
No money , points , trophies , cars etc etc .
KKRT00 said:It would be true if there would be even a single racing game with only 3D trees, but there isnt.
Every racing game has 2D tree, even 2D forests, so this arguments is just stupid.
The new breed of gamer.elektrixx said:Ahh, close. I won't play my copy until they add rewinding during gameplay.
And what game has good balance between those?Zaptruder said:It's fine to have 2D trees - especially in areas that are not as visible.
But should 3D trees be excluded completely? I think a balance of 3D trees along the most visible stretches and 2D trees elsewhere would be a the most decent compromise.
That said; trees aren't a big deal to me - the only point I was trying to make was; it's possible to do acceptable 3D trees that kill the performance of a game or development. It wasn't an argument that all trees must be in 3D.
galian beast said:I feel as though GT is simply too generic.
I'm not asking for Need for Speed, but the game needs to evolve as a genre.
EA did that with Need for Speed, PD hasn't really done anything different, and the game truly suffers because of it.
darkwing said:GT won't be GT if it changes like the NFS series, you would have to boot out Kaz before that happens
I don't want that stuff in my GT5. It's not needed at all.elektrixx said:Ahh, close. I won't play my copy until they add rewinding during gameplay.
