When you look at GT3 running, or the astoundingly impressive replays, do you get the impression that Polyphony have pushed the machine close to the limits?
Well, fear not - there's a long way to go yet.
Some of you may know of a piece of software developed by Sony for the PSone which measured the performance of program code. It highlights to developers areas of the game where there is unused processing power, which in turn allows developers to put more into the game by utilising that extra grunt.
If you buy PSM2, then have a good read of the 'Bog Read' section in the latest issue.
Sony now have a version of this performance monitor software for the PS2, and they've run the GT3 code through it. Apparently, the game has "barely touched the sides" (their words, not mine) of what PS2 can do.
Which, in plain English, means that - as impressive as GT3 is - it takes nowhere near the full power of PS2 to run the game. So, as the title says, GT3 is nothing compared to... what's to come.
Expect games to get far, far better as PS2 grows to its full capacity.
