A cheaper way to create realistic graphics is bad now?
The reason going HD and uber-high detail was bad is because it costs a stupid amount of money, time and resources to make the models for it.... Hence it taking a day or something just to make a headlight on a car in GT5.
This new method can just photograph said objects and import them into the game.... it's like a 3D scanner that can also scan motion.
Of course at the moment it is probably more expensive due to the cost of setting it up, but that cost can be reduced, whereas having to make all the models was getting more expensive as more detail was added.
