Things like texture and shadow pop -
in, long load
times,
frame rate and sound issues, and low resolution paint jobs on cars are the things they tend to fix last
in a game like this and,
given that they pointed them out to us before the disc was even inserted, there's plenty of reason to assume that they will fix them before they call the game «finished» and
ship it.
Essentials is currently restricting itself to
shipping in the US, and even then, there is no
time frame given for when users can expect the device to
ship.
