The trailer looked bad but watching the live stream and reading impressions of the gameplay was even worse.

The bumper car physics are still in full effect. There was at least one spot where a racer went off the road and immediately did like four quick 360's. That's the type of stuff I expect to see when Bowser hits Luigi with a turtle shell in Mario Kart, not in what is supposed to be a sim racer.

Apparently cars still have no damage modeling and we all heard how terrible they sounded. Just disappointment across the board for me. I'm not even going to bother holding out hope that they have finally updated the franchises lackluster AI.

Idk, it seems to me that for years now PD's obsession with making car porn has gotten in the way of them actually making a good game. It was a lot better on older systems when they had less power to work with which left them more time to work on gameplay. Now they spend so much time flying around the world snapping pictures and so much time rendering each car the games take forever and suffer in core gameplay areas.
