My 360s get worked liked dogs while my PS3 is freeloading on the side LITERALLY collecting dust. (Although it's FANTASTIC at streaming content from my computer)

Was this really necessary?

You like your system, fine.

Why must you bash someone who likes theirs?

If you read what I posted you see it's not a bash. I have BOTH, this is a critique on the developers for these systems. Not living up to the potential of the system. How am I bashing him? I said "WE" as in me included, as in more than likely we're all going to be let down in some degree. "You like your system, fine" Was that necessary?

The graphics will look just as good as you see in those vids. They have it at the GT Academy running with those graphics, flawless 60FPS, with no hiccups or issues.

Polyphony has always been known for producing great graphics, and never once sacrificed anything from a video before launch. They can not be put into that category.

If anything, it will improve some more before it hits, they are technical geniuses and known to get most bang out of the Playstation systems.

To post anything else is just raining on peoples parade and being a negative Nancy, IMO. Since Polyphony has never done this. So there is no evidence to support a claim.

Polyphony also ALWAYS has been known for horrible racing AI and a piss-poor damage model, so that's worth mentioning.

AI I will give you, but poor damage model?

They never had damage, to even call it poor

They were not allowed by certain manufacturers at the time of their games, they are allowed to now though, and the damage looks brilliant.

I remember them saying that at the time, and I never believed it. I saw it as a way of making excuses for the fact that they just didn't want to model damage. Perhaps it's true, but unless I see a quotes from entities other than PD themselves, I ain't buying it.

Though it's moot now I suppose. Guess we'll see how they've done with it in, what, 3 more years or so? *looks at watch*

It LOOKS brilliant. Swell. Does damage have any effect on vehicle performance? If it doesn't, then whoop-dee-effing-do.

Yes it does, it takes internal damage as well as external. The performance will degrade the more damage you take.

Protip: Look up info before you get pessimistic towards it. There is a wealth of information out there. GT Planet as well as other sites. Even their main site is pretty informative.
