ehh not at all.
First, that picture doesnt reflect Forza ilumination very good, there are far better examples.
Second, they outsource the 3d models and that LFA is very well made, its the lightning that is not good in that photo and that aspect doesnt have anything to do with outsourcing.
Polyphony Digital SHOULD outsource, they werent up to the task in GT5, 200 models in 5+ of work is not a good number. Outsourcing would have been a much wiser choice.
Please backup your claim with facts. Thanks.
Sorry, i don't keep a notebook with all the development through the years, and i'm always impressed with the folks that have every single things saved on their computers.
For those who followed GT5's development, we know that the standards inclusion is a byproduct of the whole GT HD classic/premium design.
As for outsourcing, i agree. They just need to make sure to meet certain quality, but they should use it in order to focus on other things. If they can't do that, then they should hire more people.
I don't think you can call standard cars a "bonus", when you can finish some events without them.
That's where they screwed up, they didn't had certain classes of cars in premium, which led to this.
It's an import from GT4, the lighting model PD use makes it look better than it is, an upscaled PS2 track.
And it's not the only one, most of the older tracks are hi res versions.
