Oh boy, can't wait to see the kind of discussion that this game sparks.

2007-03-27 23:09:25

Yeah well, discussions do not seem on par with an AAA game right now ;-)
I really can't wait to see what Bizarre can do with a 30 fps racer !
FM2 looks gorgeous in its full 60 fps glory, but PGR4 is gonna be awesome !
Arcade/sim, well, I'll get the two of them !
And I might get a rally slice with Dirt (amazing trailer, most previews claim the game is gorgeous). My wallet's gonna bleed !

Where the crap is Shenmue 3 SEGA? Scrap that thing called Shenmue online and finish the Shenmue epic story on 360!

I saw it. It's the april mag with bioshock on the cover.

You can't really see anything, it looks nice and all, but its an enzo with water droplets on it. You can't see enough of the car or the track to really judge any improvement, but it looked good.

Ok, thanks for the intel, guys ;-)
Well, I was hoping for an ingame picture, I'm cooling down, now.

Enhanced Weather Simulation: “One of the slickest new features in PGR is its weather. Bizarre’s using what it likes to call ‘extreme weather’ for more than just making the sky gray. Water beads up on beautifully on all the gorgeous paintjobs, spray jets out from the tires, and in the in-car view, wipers move and windshields ice up.”

Enhanced Raceway Environments: “A TV-style intro sets up each event, with a commentator offering wisdom…Choppers buzz overhead, camera crews and video vans are everywhere, and hordes of fans line the track. They’ll wear gear with your logo, wave your national flag, and react far more obviously to your performance.”

Extended Car Selection: “PGR4 will deliver a much broader set of vehicles, ranging from a vintage’63 Corvette Sting Ray and the ’54 Maserati 250F to the sleek, ultra-modern Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano.”

On the tracks: “You won’t want to miss out on your viewing time with PGR4’s tracks, which tally up to 200-plus in 10 locations.”
On Xbox Live initiatives: “PGR4’s cooking up a mysterious new matchmaking system (like Halo 2’s).”

On in-car view: ” Bizarre has two key improvements in the works.You’ll now see drivers moving more- feeding the wheel as they zip through turns or pumping their fist after a win. Special effects will also crank up the tension in key moments: you’ll get a shake effect at high speeds, and your vision will blur after spending some quality time with a a wall.”

In conclusion: “PGR4 feels hugely promising- like a proper sequel with loads of cool new toys.”

Are you telling me that the man that tried to put rubber fist in my anus was homosexual?

God that sounds so damn awesome. Sooner the better but Forza 2 will keep me busy for a while anyway..hopefully that's so good that I'm still playing it while I'm playing this.

Yeah, tha

I really enjoyed seeing the driver take his hands off the wheel to shift gears. Going to be cool to see that in car view while its raining and the windshield wipers are on.

Sounding awesome. The weather conditions, 10 locations (hopefully user customizable paths again), and surely all the little stuff they have added since PGR3 should make for a deep and engaging racer.

I just hope the steering axis of cars isnt so extreme and sensitive this time! Also hope that the cars dont brake quicker than F1 cars too, infact, just make it play more like PGR2 :D
