Yeah, I have to say I felt the same. The game is huge in scope and it's an admirable attempt but it falls short in so many areas that you can tell you were trying to cover every base and in the process couldn't give each one enough attention.
- Definitely make the signs etc... collapsable and make crates etc... physics objects, I was so disappointed when I tried to knock stuff out of my way and it stopped me!
- Make a real waypoint system so I can see where I need to turn on the minmap ala Midnight Club/GTA etc...
- Make the demo the complete game with just time limitation tied into your online server. Allow players to register and store their information serverside. This game is huge and trying to do a feature limited demo is just crippling. This is the sort of game that you need to allow people to invest themselves in.
- I thought the physics and acceration seemed good, but the car sounds suck. I was driving a Z28 Camaro with those beautiful ZR1 rims (I actually had the Trans Am version of that car) but it sounded like I was driving a micro machine, not a 320 HP LT1!
This is a good start! I'm sure you'll do ok with it, but you could really take this game to the next level with some more work. Make a Gran Turismo killer on the PC ;)
