People have been complaining about that dumb ass CPU from day one but nooope. "laziness", "incompetience","out of order execution"! Still going to call them liars? Still going to call them dishonest? Lazy?

Everyone was complaining about the dumb ass CPU from day one, except the producers of Project Cars.

Well the poducers were either being (a) polite or (b) delusional cause many other devs didnt hold back from criticising it at LAUNCH. As usual those devs were all dismissed and as usual it turned out to be true in the long run. I'll trust actual programmers over forum posters and random indie devs any day of the week.

They clearly hadnt implemented their tyre model at that point in time. Unless you think all the code and all the games features were ready back in 2013. Perhaps they fell for that GPGPU hype, but that means next to nothing if the GPU itself doesn't have the raw power to back it up.

None of this is new and it has all been brought up many times before on this very forum but no one wanted to listen, they'd rather believe in secret sauce and fairy tails. But you know whats really sad? That tyre model could probabbly run great on Teh Cell. Ridiculous.
