Yes, I'm sure we all expected him to say that there were a lot of big features they would loved to have in their game if they had been given more time. Afterall that's what studio heads normally do right around the time their new games is released, right?
Right. Kaz said just that. There's things he wants in but could not so he is shifting them to GT6. And other devs say this all the time, we could not add X,Y,Z due to time or whatever other constraints so we will look into them as patches or sequels.
If T10 says F3 is the best they can do aside from small improvements, they are done as far as racing games go in the future. If weather, daytime cycles and all the other stuff in GT5 is small details, then I would like to know what they consider big.
I didn't said that studio heads never do it, just that most of the time they're not gonna do it, for good reason.
But the point was that you presented some PR talk as proof for why T10 would not be able to create a game with half as much content as GT5, were they given 5 years to make a game.
No, its a bad reason to say you are done. Particularly when there is much to do and asked for by fans.
And T10 may be able to do it, but why didnt they, or why didnt they admit they were limited? Why not say, hey, here's an awesome game, but we have much more planned for the future, instead of saying we made the best thing ever and there is nothing to improve upon. Its cocky, arrogant, stupid and is getting them a lot of flak.
I mean anyone "could" do it if we take the monkeys on typewriters approach.
They need to step up and prove themselves now. Or admit they can't, due to time or financial constraints or whatever.
