I wanted to get others opinions on this... This is one question from an Article over at OS and I have read the answer a few times and am trying to understand it's tense:
So does that mean that Formation Laps and Safety cars are actually in - or does he mean those are already given elements for the 2011 version? It is the 'as well' that throws me off thinking he just means in the future version but otherwise, by saying 'we already have' throws me the other way.
I am sure we all would have known since there were topics about the formation laps and safety cars not in this years game... but it seems odd that he would add 'correct physics' into that statement if he means for next year's game because that kind of sells the physics for this game short just before release.
Thoughts?
OS: Obviously, every developer is under a lot of pressure to have their game hit the market. That being said, were there options or game modes that you wanted to get into this year’s title that had to wait until next year’s version.
PJ: Yeah there were. Obviously, Steve Jergens and myself had a solid outline of what we wanted in the game, but in terms of our ideas, I feel we probably already have too many in this year’s version. I think there is this public perception of "what can you do that hasn’t been done before." We had all these different ideas and innovations in terms of modes and features within the game, but we already have hardcore elements such as formation laps, safety car, correct physics, multiplayer, and yet we still have some great ideas and concepts for new modes in the 2011 version as well. I think we have a nice base to work on, and after the guys take a couple of weeks break, it will be back to working on the 2011 design.
