PGR4 flying under the radar?

If the mountain of boulets wasn't a hint enough, the arcade/sim bickering is OT. Next "get the last word in" poster gets banned. That goes for pretty much any thread. If posts are bouleted, it means they are off topic and the devs decided the discussion was fruitless and added nothing to the forum.

Now back to talking about PGR4.

Well I wasn't apart of discussion, but how is talking about such a thing off topic? Its a racing game so shouldn't the way it plays and controls be something that is considered fair game?

I understand bouleting the ones that went overboard, but some actually looked like valid concerns. Don't mean to go off topic with this statement, but there wasn't nearly this much moderation in forza 2 threads :/ Pretty much any and everything could've been said or done in those threads even the posting of other game media. Seems a bit double standardish when you think about it.

The bike racing is what turns me off, but I don't have to use them.

I think the bikes look horrible and should've never been added to the game. Other than that looks fantastic. It also has a great deal to do with a number of other games that are currently out and upcoming.
Bikes don't have me convinced yet either. The way they move has me kind of worried on how they handle. But we'll see, thanks to MS all we can do is guess and pray they drive good.

Anyways, here's hope:
Regarding gameplay videos...........
Posted by Ben
I hear you... I'm going to get some gameplay videos put together this week fingers crossed.

However, don't kid yourself. Everything we've released so far has been rendered in-game. We don't doctor screenshots or videos, and we never have. The same accusations came up with PGR3 pre-launch, and now we're getting them again. Show a bit of faith. :)

I have too many other great games to purchase this Fall. This one will be passed on by me when it releases... I will own it eventually, but when the smoke clears from this Fall/Winter. Halo3, COD4, Orange box for me... and DIRT and Forza2 still have a lot of gameplay left in them for me. I've just scratched the surface of DIRT really. I think PGR4 will be wonderful and an improvement over PGR3, but I know what to expect and would love to own it, but I can wait on it. It will be mine, just not in 2007.

dont know why mine was in boulet either. all i said was that pgr is arcade but of the lowest possible form...in thats its less arcadey then the likes of burnout etc due to it being more punishing?!?...strange

good footage tho, theres no denying this game looks stunning...i just wish i was into racers more then i am.

The boulets were there because the discussion had gone rapidly downhill and really it was just a pointless argument over semantics. Everyone agreed about the difference between NFS / PGR / Forza, just not over what to call it. Rather than have some massive derail over how just how arcadey PGR supposedly is or what we should call it, the boullets are just polite reminders to keep the thread on track.

I appreciate it looks a bit messy but it's not censorship, it's all there if you want to read it. I work for "censors" I should bloody know!

Anyhow we're having a discussion about whether PGR4 is under the radar. Hopefully Bizarre will get us some gameplay videos in the next week which hopefully will put the game a bit more on the map. Now there's no GTA:IV I think October is a nice little window for it, I wouldn't be too unhappy to see it slotted for then.

I agree Deft, although I think October 17th would have been the perfect date. October 2nd is a week after D-Day :|

I could even see a September 25th release with a PGR4 demo with Halo 3 be a much better way to get exposure.

Is MGS bundling a demo with Halo 3? Halo 3 had 2 silver bullets:

- Bundle the Halo 3 beta with a commercial release. They did this with Crackdown.

- Bundle a demo of a good game with Halo 3. Which is...?

It would be a HUGE missed oppurtunity to not have a demo--or multiple demos--with Halo 3. Sure, 60% of users have tried Live. But this is is a great way to get the other 40% and "in your face!" action a game. Sure, they could get the demo over Live, but a disc is even better... and you can share it!

MGS too the best of my knowledge isn't bundling any demos with Halo 3. There is the possibility they could add it in and I didn't see it as the PGR4 demo was still in cert but I'd be very surprised if that was the case.

On the core disc I don't think there would be room for a demo (it'd be 1GB plus) but on the Limited Edition disc there may have been scope for one but Bungie were obviously keen to cram a lot of their content on there. There's at least an hours worth of HD video, possibly a bit more.

They'll do well enough if they can get it on the cover of say Oct / Nov OXM with a demo

EDIT: New info--Track creator not in PGR4. Like I said over there and now here, it wasn't much of a track creator anyways.

I never used it anyway. To be honest I thought it was kinda lame.

I think the track-creator in PGR3 was a cool idea, and I made some fun tracks with it.. Only thing that sucked about it though were those yellow markers that screwed up to many corners in it.. To bad it isn't in anymore, with a better system for cornermarkers I think it could have worked.. But I guess they found out not many people used it, so they dropped it as a feature..

I can feel the love :D

Oh well, PGR4 achievements;

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/achievements.ph...

This achievement is very telling and hopefully it means what I think it means!

"In a split-screen Street Race, finish 1st and 2nd in reverse gear against at least one AI opponent."

Basically, splitscreen with AI opponents :D Now you must be thinking "what's the big deal?" well, it's kind of pathetic that most racing games these days are forgetting about that, sad.

And this is a cool one, original.

"Defeat a PGR 4 team member on Xbox LIVE, or defeat anyone who's bested a PGR 4 team member."

I've heard in the latest 1up yours that the next need for speed is funnier than PGR4. I've put PGR3's dvd in my 360 and really had a ball. NFS>PGR ??? That's something I can not believe !

AI with SC MP? Woot! A game I can play with my wife :)

On the new NFS... the game looks totally over the top arcade to me. Some may like that, but the cars just have so little "feedback". They have nice smoke and damage, but how they driver is very basic. Driving lines and cornering look secondary to "go really fast".
