I don't get it. If GT5 is really coming out in March in Japan ... shouldn't it be more or less complete already? Kaz is still talking about testing this or that, be it damage, weather or something else, which are all - at least to my understanding - pretty complex and development time consuming features. They could be more far along than they are letting us know, but if that were indeed the case, I'm sure something of the sort would have leaked by now. There seems to be a gaming journalist expedition to Polyphony's offices every other day.
Do you guys think that they'll just continue working on GT5 and keep delaying it until the game is feature complete? Or do you believe that there's a risk of them releasing what would be considered a 'full game' in any case, but one which will be then gradually upgraded as time passes on? Updated not only with new cars and possibly tracks, but indeed with major stuff like weather, day-night (or just day / night for all tracks) cycles and the like.
I'm starting to think that Polyphony have way too much on their plate right now - although if anybody can do it, it's definitely them. As someone who likes to get into racing sims once every 4 years or so and then playing the shit out of said games, the above mentioned features are quite a big deal. After I got burned out playing Gran Turismo 3 to death, I completely skipped GT4, because I could not consider it anything but a GT3.5. I really, really wouldn't want GT5 to give me that feeling again. It doesn't make any sense considering what we already know will be in GT5 for sure, but still. I just can't shake the feeling.
