Yes I agree it looks incredible. I watched it 3 times, and the third time the streaky linear rain started to kind of wear on me. I think they need to dial the linear streakness of it a bit. Water droplets, car models, lighting all look incredible though...

Stunning stuff. It's unbelievable that there are people out there who doubt this game.. amazing.

Hey Turn10, look, no CG!

at the beginning and end of the video, it said " A Sneak Peek- Pt.1". Wonder if that means there are more parts on the way

@ GriftGFX

Hear hear. For me, PGR pretty much is THE racing game, and PGR3 is still easily one of the most stunning 360 games. In fact, I was running Gotham TV yesterday while messing with some TV settings and.. it just still pretty much tops anything I can think of.

It's also perfectly balanced the punishment of some more sim-y racers with arcadey elements like powerslides in such an amazingly rewarding way, I simply can't possibly be disappointed with PGR4 even if it played exactly like 3.

On top of all that, it gets something right that all other racers neglect - class. It's simply the most stylish racer of all, partly because it has so much personality compared to all the decal-ridden "simulating the look of Eurosport" games.

Thoroughly excited for this!

Why all this Forza VS PGR? Both are good and fun games. I think thats what is the most important thing after all, to have fun playing the games not comparing those.

I just think with the timing of the Forza 2 demo and the footage of this, graphical comparisons easily crop up. Months of Forza 2 wanking in the comment threads pretty much culminated today with the realisation that it looks pretty basic. PGR4 swoops in hours later and looks sexual - I think it's inevitable that people comment on it.

But I also think good points float around. Both racers aim to accomplish different things, and Forza 2 spends far less time looking "cool" or flirting with the arcadier crowd. Perhaps most importantly, they're on the same platform offering different experiences and racing fans will want to enjoy both.

I know I do. Unless Forza 2 totally tanks in reviews I'm planning a pickup in june when it hits here.

Yea people are seriously giving the impression they are only concerned with graphics if this isn't telling I don't know what is.

PGR isn't trying to be Forza, but why can't people understand Forza isn't trying to be forza? Anyway lets not have this turn into those many forza 2 argument threads back to the forza demo.

Grift come on, it wasn't said like that.

But LEBATO for one always points out graphical flaws, in almost every game he comments about, now im not saying this is a bad thing, maybe he looks for graphics over gameplay.

His whole argument about Forza 2 has been about graphics, but end of the day graphics don't really impact gameplay much.

Forza 2 looks to be a better game (or at least more my type of game) as far as driving games go, no amount of graphical flare will change that.

Sure PGR4 will look better than Forza 2 but unless it changes other things like AI and steering/Physics it will be just the same game with a new set of paint.

At the moment It doesnt look as good as PGR3 overall but has some insanely good looking car rain and @720p will be a real beauty when its out, will most definately be the best looking racer. I just hope they fix the car handling cuz it really needs lots of work.
