Ooh yeah finally

Looking forward to bashing the 599 around the track.

Weather looks great, and so does everything else.

Where the hell are they racing? The Amazon? What's with the rain? Wet race conditions only works in two places: the Nordschleife and the U.K. Anywhere else and it gives the vibe of a car TV spot that emphasizes on "super-traction control all-wheel drive computer" or some other dubiously-named driving aid.

You may notice now that I'm not very big on the PGR franchise. It's still a solid, fun game, but hardly near the greatness that people dress it in. I personally don't enjoy the obscene traction involved in its frustrating arcade-esque driving mechanics (why include rain in the sequel, then?), but the excitement of ripping through city streets in exotics (especially in my beloved 280ps Japanese pseudo-exotics) can't be denied.

Looks sweet to me.....PGR3 was fun, but very hard, especially on this one track, in Hard Mode, that you have to race for like 10 minutes or so and every time I missed by like 1-2 seconds everytime. All in all, a good game with sweet graphics and good physics.....

All I can say is can the motion blur and add some AA... that combination of rain + glass + reflections means aliasing galore.

DXR_13KE · 15th Jun 2007, 22:37

looks nice

completemadness · 15th Jun 2007, 22:55

i was about to ask if this was 360 exclusive, until i read "Microsoft Game Studios"

mikeuk2004 · 16th Jun 2007, 00:53

I bought PGR2 and I Have PGR3 on 360 but I never played PGR1.

I love racing games but I just dont seem to love PGR and dont no why. I get bored with PGR and so far with PGR3 I only done about 8 races after owning it for 6-7 months. I will probably buy PGR4 as I just seem to keep giving PGR a chance.

Oh well, its one of those games you buy when you bored but not complete or play seriously.

samkiller42 · 16th Jun 2007, 11:54

This game looks HOT

Iconic cars hey? How about adding a Bugatti Veyron to the list

From my understanding another confirmed car is the Mini Copper.

Please drop the silly code challenges from the single player game, I'd try and get Platinum on PGR3 if it wasn't for those

SNIPERMikeUK · 17th Jun 2007, 11:51

I have played these games since it's first outing on the dreamcast when it was called MSR (Metropolis Street Racer). It was a gr8 game then as it is now.

Currently loving the Forza Motorsport2 scene, as I have played PGR3 to death, still gonna get this though. PGR & Forza are two different things and both have a place on the 360......Coolest mini game ever was born in PGR2+3......Geometry Wars+Evolved NUFF SAID......Cone challenges are my favourite.

Ghys · 18th Jun 2007, 00:36

PGR is from MRS ? Cool... Then I guess I can say I have played one of the PGR game
