had a night in last night (friday night, but at work today) and my bro came over with his xbox360 and a freshly purchased copy of PGR4

we started playing the career mode, and the first few races were done driving an RS500

i must say in HD it looks awesome, the proportions of the car are just right, it has the correct dash and even the correct clocks

sounds cool and even has proper T4 lag

played it for a few hours and must say its an amazing game, glad my bros off around the world in a month for a whole year, so i feel i may inherit an xbox for a while

anyone with an xbox360 (or ps3, dunno if its out on that?) must try this game out, its really good

 

cool! im getting it for my birthday next week!!!!

 

think i might treat myself for my birthday next week

 

i.m gona treat my self to a xbox360 very soon as allready got forza 2 and am now defo gona by pgr4

 

who buys a game BEFORE buying a console to play it on

 

 

I got it last night and spent 2 hours wheelieing the bikes proper stand up one handed ones and endoing aswell

Absolute stunning game. And the cars and bikes are just

 

Got it yesterday. We've been looking forward to it for ages after the sucess of PGR3. Works a treat on my new 50" Panasonic plasma at full 1080P.

 

I was a little dissipointed with the grahics TBH, seemed to be some jagged edges on the cars, but im only runnig 1080i.. Doesnt seem as clear as Forza 2. 500 is cool though in moonstone of course


perhaps i should sit back from mt 46" screen a little

 

Been playing it for a while and at first thought it was too easy but now i'm using the bikes properly it is getting a bit hard

And yes in HD it is very good looking but not a lot different to pgr3?

played the demo yesterday and didnt think it was as good as Forza 2

 

My missus came home from doing the food shopping in sainsburys today and they had PGR4 for £35(£5 cheaper than game and play.com) so she bought me one as a pressie.

 

 

its shite

unless you like arcade style racing games

 

She's earn't her keep for another month

I just been watching some vids of it and it looks great

 

I haven't played it yet but i going to crack it open tomorrow but yes the videos look awesome. The weather is supposed to as realistic as real life along with the way the car will handle and perform in the weather conditions and the list of cars isnt too bad. Im looking forward to getting my hands on the RS500, Ariel Atom and the Austin mini cooper S

 

I wanna go on it now

Have fun tomorrow hope the missus doesnt want the tv all day

 

Cheers but she cant do the washing and ironing with the TV so im safe

 

Clearly she doesnt browse this site, if she did i think you'd have some dirty clothes still monday morning

 

You on smack?

 

 

you know it

 

mo mate

i got it when it was released in the usa

me and my mate played it for an hr and got bored, no driving style what so ever

graphcs and sounds are good and i like the flames

but the style of the game is arcade and i dont think i will ever like arcade racing games

you carnt tune tene cars,paint them, so as soon as everyone gets enough kudos they will have all the same cars and thats wehn it will get boring,

thers no damage to things either when you hit someone or hit a wall, yes theres scratches on cars etc but thats it

forza 2 is so far ahead of these games its untrue and ill stick to this, i wont be wasting my money buying it thats for sure

the only arcde racing game i may buy will be need for speed pro sreet as thats looks interesting

 

I do agree with your points as a single player it gets very boring very quickly..
but online is where this game will kick arse i think as it is an even playing field then and all comes down to how good you are.

 

its the driving style of the cars i dont like, this is what ruins the game

going flat out round corners knowing that you just have to hit hit brakes full on and you will make it round etc

at least with forza if you do that you lock up and go straight on and you ahve to control the braking pressure slowly like you would do normally driving a car

proberbly just me but i dont think i will ever like arcade racing games

 

Play it on-line and it's totaly different
Forza is a good game but it get's so boring i've had it since launch and the only thing i bother with is the online tournament's which are solid. The game is piss easy. And got bored of lap after lap after lap.

 

1st impression is Forza is more technical and takes alot more feeling and skill to play. PGR4 is less complicated but the changable weather makes it great and the popping/flaming of the RS500 is quality.

 

Aye got it on launch day good game.

online is great
