Don't get me wrong, the replays will look better. What i'm talking about is why they look better. It's not because they suddenly add higher quality cars, lighting, textures etc. during replays. It's because of the angles they use. GT's biggest visual strength is probably its lighting engine. In many ways the lighting engine is handicapped during gameplay because you're only able to see it from one angle. Whether that be in the cockpit, chase or hood cam. The replays allow PD to put the camera in the best spots on each track that'll really make the lighting engine shine. It's the same reason that Kojima doesn't just show raw gameplay during trailers he puts together. Instead he'll show them from cinematic angles because it simply makes the games look better.
