they would add small upgrades for cars you buy to combat weather conditions. Not as heavy duty as Forza but small stuff like tires.

Whoever you are, just go back to your hole.

akaFullMetal6063d ago

dude your an idiot, i think pgr4 and gt5 will be awesome, one trying to be an aracade like game, other trying to be a sim, both will be good, so shut up

mistertwoturbo6063d ago

microsoft should make PGR4's graphics with Forza 2's physics, then it would compete with GT5, or even dominate it. GT5 will win over japan with it's simulation especially the type of race cars there. and the japanese loves they're race cars. while PGR4's arcadey gameplay will be only loved by the U.S. both games will be great. but the final version of GT5 is a force to be reckoned with.

PGR's Multiplayer is unrivaled with regards to racing games. With the sole exception of the Nurburgring tracks, all of PGR's other tracks are comprised of close-quartered, extremely challenging city-street tracks.

I love ALL racing games but nothing compares to the adrenaline rush delivered by PGR's manic multiplayer. Serious, hectic, demanding stuff.

I can't wait!

though, the way you drive the cars, high speeds, multiplayer madness are what makes pgr fun. I actually got bored of Forza 2 because it was to sim like. I found more fun in the features (able to do with your car) then actually playing the game. All I did was drive a car at above normal speeds ..zzz..z. Wasn't allowed to crash or do something different except test new settings against others. It's like a FPS with no gun or a RPG with a subpar storyline lol.

Looks good I guess all the bashing Meus Interpretation was doing was a waste of time. If you're wondering what my beef with him is about its because I cought him using PGR pics from past games trying to pass them off as PGR4 pics by mixing them and posting all of them as new PGr4 pics. Don't Lie about it Meus Interpretation I'll post the proof.

POG, I'm very glad you were right in claiming that the intro and amazing screens were (basically) representative of the actual in-game. This is what I had hoped PGR3 was going to look. I am quite happy that BC wasn't rushed this time around! Did ya check out the Direct Feed intro??
I posted the link right below.

Close_Second6062d ago (Edited 6062d ago )

...but is it just me or do the car shadows pretty much suck. All the outside views show shadows as if the sun is almost directly above the car.

Again, a very minor thing.

@5.1 - Just so you know this game is a must have if you're a PGR fan. I enjoyed PGR3 and am looking forward to picking up PGR4 in October.

Rybnik6062d ago

Yeah, maybe. Dude, you are really nit-picking though. If I was to mention any sort of fault it is that the game doesn't have anti-aliasing on EVERYTHING. It is such an enormous improvement over PGR3 that I don't care though. BC has really done this one right!

In case no one noticed I posted the HD intro for this as well, earlier, you know the one everyone (including me) was really skeptical about. After seeing this ingame, I do think the intro is as well (minus extra AA).

Let's Remember Some Xbox 360 Games

Luke Plunkett of Kotaku writes, "I think we all took the Xbox 360 for granted. Other all-time greats like the SNES and PS2 seem to be remembered more fondly than Microsoft’s console, which tends to be recalled as more of a thing that happened than a platform to be treasured."

JEECE2134d ago

A Kotaku writer pining for Xbox's golden years. I'm guessing there will be some good comments here.

Uglyday2134d ago

“WE”didn’t take it for granted, M$ did.

What happened prior to launch of the One up through current day with their marketing and focus away from games and consumers. The failure of the One has nothing to do with the 360 being great. In fact backward compatibility and the 360 is about all the One had/has going for it. Now M$ is dumping money into fornite articles to try and be seen as more than they are, a company that doesn’t give a damn about its fan boys or products.

Top 10 Racing Games of All Time

Clickonline writes "To many, cars are simply a way of getting from point A to point B. But to gamers they are a way of doing so as quickly as possible, while leaving opponents trailing in your wake. The racing genre’s grid has always been full of fierce competitors. And there’s no indication that this will change any time soon with Gran Turismo 6 taking to the start/finish straight and next-gen exclusives such as Driveclub and The Crew."

Tesla's CEO Feared Microsoft Would Make His Car Racist And Slow

Jalopnik - I'd just taken over as Tesla's PR guy and had been contacted by old friends at Microsoft Game Studios about including the Tesla Roadster in Project Gotham Racing 4. Darryl Siry, my boss, took me into Martin Eberhard's (Tesla's Co-founder/then CEO) office to broach the topic. That's when it went very wrong.
