After playing GT4 consistently over the past few days, I've noticed some graphical hiccups at a few of the tracks. Occassionally, the screen resolution will drop for a few seconds, the hud and all objects on screen get severely jaggy and jumpy. This typically only happens when most or all cars are on screen at the same time (like the start of a race/replay), and lasts for a few seconds until you hit a different section of track, or the cars spread out a little bit. I've seen this issue with other games, which was always an intentional effect to keep the framerate steady. Assuming I'm not the only one to have experienced this, it seems a minor blemish on an already beautiful game. If anything, it reinforces the notion that Polyphony has pushed the outer limits of the PS2's capabilities with GT4, perhaps exceeding them in some instances.
I'm running the game in good 'ol 480i, so this may not affect those of you that run 1080i or 480p. Again, not that big of a deal, but I'm curious if anyone else has noticed this. Later.
