At Develop!97 in October they had GT running on the Sony stand, and
the programmers from CodeMasters (I think) came over to take a look.
Initially they were "yeah, yeah, that's a bit lame compared to our
stuff" (as you do), but then they started picking out some of the
attention to detail, and they started going "coo" a lot, and left the
stand with the appearance of subdued men.

The nicest thing about the graphics is definitely the shine on the
cars and the handling of the windscreen. (I didn't pay enough
attention to spot any large mountains suddenly appearing on the
horizon.) Not being a fan of car games I couldn't comment on the
gameplay.
