Tune down your hype people or you'll be disappointed and we'll end up again with a 60+ pages Thread arguing about graphics just like Forza 2 !

Here we go...

I think it's quite clear that Bizarre will be able to raise the bar visually from what they achieved at launch with PGR3. They've even said as much. They had virtually no time with Xenos, a must make launch deadline and were learning as they went along.

On the other hand, PGR3 doesn't render at 720p natively and runs at 30fps, that's two things that Forza 2 does do.

Hence any sensible discussion on the two has to take the above into account and ultimately the two games are out to do different things. If PGR4 targets 30fps and doesn't do damage, it'd be pretty silly for it not to look better in stills than Forza 2 really.

Hopefully they'll put some more effort into the SP part of the game which was pathetic in PGR3.

Also, curious to see if they can get rid of that cartoony look and they'd better not remove that cockpit view..!

This is my last hope for a fun and robust SP racer on the 360 since there's no sign at all of another Toca racer, so here's for hoping..! :)

The cartoony look is what makes PGR, PGR! Its arcade style racing, it needs the look, it looks cool, it like sega arcade games have that cartoon style, vibrant colours, high contrast, it would be a shame to lose it imo

It's their second time with the hardware we might see a huge leap, we might not see that much of a leap at all. There will definitely be a leap, but I suspect it wont be the leap people expect then chaos willlensue, but I learned my lesson with Forza 2 to avoid those discussions from now on :D

I highly doubt they'd get rid of the cockpit view since so many people liked it the first time around. I expect some nice improvements on the technology side of things. Expect certain lighting features to be done more realistically or how they believe they should be done. I expect tons of smoke (they like smoke apparently) I wouldn't mind seeing them add more vehicle damage and some customization, but I don't know if we'll be getting that. I'm not talking vehicle upgrades just the ability to style your car however you want.

What I want in PGR4:

- 720p (not 1024x800)
- 60 FPS (30FPS+MotionBlur...)
- Weather (Rain please!!!)
- Damage and physics
- No more looooong loading...

PGR4 I will buy with my eyes closed.. It's one of the mustbuy games for me no matter what.. My confidence in Bizzarre Creations is endless when it comes to the PGR series.. I bought PGR with my Xbox back in April 2002, I loved PGR2 being the 1st console racinggame to properly support online MP, and PGR3 was the reason I bought a Xbox 360 beginning of last year..

Well, on a more positive note.

The cockpit view in PGR3 has completely put me off 3rd person racing and that's quite an achievement as I have pretty much allways played racing games in 3rd person.
But PGR3 does the cockpit view so well, that now I just feel competely alienated whenever I play a racing game in 3rd person again.

Just for that cockpit view I bow deeply for BC.

Also, a part of that is the immersion in PGR 3, which is TOP NOTCH.
MP was a lot of fun indeed for a while, untill I got so sick of racing the same tracks over and over again...

Supposedly, there's an ingame screen in this month play magazine (us/uk ???) which shows an Enzo under heavy rain !!! Yes, the sun always shines on tv and FM2, but PGR4 seems to have chose a different path !
Anyone has this magazine ?

The place I went to didn't have the newest issue(they always get Play issues late), so I'll just wait for OXMs Big feature.
