For those of you who are not PC only snobs, there were some awesome videos
of GT3 on Techtv's Extended Play TV program. The cars look great, and are
obviously high poly count models. The cars appear to move very realistically
, which gives me high hopes that they will have a good feel, especially with
the new force feedback wheels from logitech and others.
I played with a demo version at the Atlanta Auto Show. It looked great but
played just like the original PS versions. The AI drivers don't really have
a concept of where you are on the track. They'll bump you from behind, bump
you from the side and generally just make a nuisance of themselves. You
neither lose speed or accumulate damage so it doesn't really affect the
outcome of the race, but Polyphony is touting superior AI in GT3 so it's
dissapointing.
The movies I've seen on the web and on Extended Play have looked better than
what I saw at the auto show, so there is hope. Maybe they've made great
strides with the AI. But I will say this... I've never seen a japanese
racing game/sim that has any sort of intelligence to the computer controlled
cars. I just don't think they give a damn about AI.

Ah, but you're forgetting about Super Slalom Back Story VIII: Tomisha Driver
Speed Relay!
When you are in the Golden Shout Super! stage, the AI would react very
realistically, sometimes throwing in a SUPER TURBO KICK TIME!!!!! when you were
right in the middle of a race. Now *that* was realism.

Extended Play also claimed the polygon count for the cars is approx. 10 times
what it was in GT2. Weather enhancements and a very cool semi-transarent
"dashboard" also look promising.

Don't you mean a PS2 AND an XBox?

GT2 was a psx game.
10 times the car polygons isn't that much.
