For some reason, I agree. At least the menus are clean (nice zoom feature for SDTV users), but the gameplay itself was questionable. I thought it played like an arcade racer, with the tuned car or not.
I know the game is releasing in a little while, so I have hope this demo for the GT Academy is nothing like the real game (from what I've heard from the defense force). I really don't want to skip on this game so I'll probably buy it anyways, but I hope the end result will be groundbreaking for the racing genre, as in not trying to keep up with other racing games. GT used to set the benchmark, let it be this way again?
Also, the physics won't change because it's on a blu-ray. It will change because they fixed them along the run, not because it was a 200mb software running from the PS3.
Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...
