The thing here is these guys barely worked.
The shit you are going to see in the final game could've been done in 2 years, but these assholes didn't work. Why did Prologue came out? Because their time wasting needed something in return.
I pop in the gamespot interview, and this motherfucker is telling me how they get invited everywhere, and then you see videos and it's the game creator and devs just doing anything related to racing besides working on the game.
Have you seen the rally video? Of course the PS3 fanboys get an hard on for the night to day transition, but all i could see was the cars being handled like cardboard boxes, and bouncing around from red tape and shit.
