This is the article I have referenced in a few of my posts criticizing the debut. People talk about graphics and sales, the core issue here is gameplay flaws that have existed for a long time are still not fixed. Gameplay wise it appears there is nothing new here. That blows. The game could suddenly morph into the most beautiful racer ever and sell 20 billion copies, who cares if were still racing the same lame AI with bumper car physics and laughably bad sound.

GTS threads are going to be glorious come release.

Maybe it's a VR compatible game, that might be the reason it looks like a ps3 game.

it doesnt look like a PS3 game, it looks like any 8 Gen racer if you targed 60fps, driveclub does look better but its 30fps. But i do think the Neo and VR do have an impact on devolopement, the final assets arent decided yet for 4 hardware configirations me thinks 

Yeah this game is pretty much a beta for GT7 its pretty light on content also considering its not a launch game 137 premium cars 19 locations and 37 track layouts.

Fair enough, but you have to admit, PD are some of the oddest developers out there. I actually been a huge fan of the franchise ever since the ps1, and it's the only racing game I'd ever actually bought. Still, the fact that they spend half a year to create one car with maticulous attention to detail and then keep using the same engine sounds as 15 years ago is pretty damn mindboggling. Also adding so many rehashed tracks from last gen versions, makes the game extremely inconsistent. It's something that gets mentioned in every single review since GT4, and it kinda seems like they keep releasing a game that is still a work in progress. 

Anyway, to me this looks like exactly the same game as GT5 on the ps3. Maybe it's just a Prologue or a VR titel, but there is no way I'm going to spend full price on this. 

I platinumed GT6. I've played every major GT extensively and enjoyed them all. But GT is getting, or got pretty old by now.

How odd is to bring up karts as example of tight races? Yes, the paces are tight in karting, because you can't be over- or underpowered.

However, in 90% of the events, you either are too slow to compete with the top 1 or 2 cars, or you are too fast.

Oh and I forgot, but how ridiculous was the structureof races in GT6. You started last and then had to overtake them one by one, becoming basically a time trial in which you had to be fast enough to get first before the race was over.

This reminded of the original Ridge Racer on PS1. Good times, but yeah, that was 20 years ago.

I never expected to be blown away by it. I haven't been since GT3 on the PS2.
