The game will not be bugged like last year  because they have competitors and worked pretty damn hard to make the game you can see from the trailers that the game looks nice and diferent from 07
One thing is for sure: When the game hits the stores, all forums will be flooded with people reporting bugs. It's not bug free, and 1000 people are better at finding bugs than the 10-20 beta testers Same for the PCM.daily DB. 10.000 people are able to find a lot more bugs than the few people who tested it before the release. |

Did they really say in the Open Bar that helmets won't be team colored? wtf is this crap? How difficult would it be to give them team textures, even if they are different models you choose... |

There's no release date for the downloadable version yet. The disc version is released on the 19th, not the 16th. It's likely that the DL-version is available on the same day or the day after. |

Well, it's both a win and a loss. The 3D model will match the selected helmet. However, it won't be with the team colors. I do find that somewhat annoying, and i would prefer the helmets to be all the same and the right color tbh. But the model matching the equipment is also sort of nice.
Maybe someone will find a way of creating colored helmets after a while if we're lucky. |

It all comes down to Cyanide being lazy not finishing the work. They added the feature of custom helmets, but they didn't finish the job giving them team colors.. |

Well as I noticed on some of the screenshorts a lot of riders had yellow helmets.. And it looked pretty bad.. It was really annoying .. But the rest of the game looks really good and it's really improved .. I'm a bit surprised about their progression from PCM07 to PCM08 ..  |

There's a pretty distinct line between "lazy" and "not enough time" Kadel.

if there's not enough time to do it properly, don't do it. |

You have a point !
But then again someone will probably make the helmets fit the teamcolor .. And then it would look pretty good .. |

Its big improvement though. Sure we need team-colours now, but having to paint the same textures for the all the helmets for all the teams in the game will definitely add much time to any project. Its as properly done as not adding several hours of overtime on graphics department is.

Let me get this straight: You rather want a game with a couple new features that work perfect or a several new features that works a bit dogdy and/or half-assed.
I think if Cya had gone with the first plan, we'd still playing PCM1, so i dont thinks its lazy.

Well it's not lazy but the guy has a point .. You either do something completely or you don't .. Like you can't deliver a half-finished product..
BUT that being said its exaggerated in this case .. Like I said before someone will probably make it just like they've made a whole bunch of things to PCM07 |

And in return we would have to cut two features that we didnt have time for. (disclaimer though: its a metaforical statement)

nop, because it wouldn't take any time to retain a feature already in the previous game, teamcolored helmets. |
