PGR 4... Gorgeous!!!

Sandok · Dec 31, 2007, 06:20 AM

Any 360 gamers who love car games should get this... Sure it ain't a sim like Forza or an arcade experience like Flatout / Burnout but it's unique and awesome.

Gameplay is great, sound effects are awesome (few games can get some of the engine notes as realistic as PGR --> SLR comes to mind) and on top of that, looks sublime!

it is one of the better looking games out there for sure

looks too animated, and I have never liked PGR's choice of insanely narrow tracks. GT5 @ 1080p for me.

PGR4 is absolutely brilliant, especially nurburgring over the lan. identical to the real track in germany. still determined to crack 7 minutes.

Agreed, Nurburgring is absolutely superb... Looks so real its scary!!! And it's great practice for the real thing (well photoreal enough to learn a bit)

Anyways, here are three more pics I took today out of boredom

I have driven on the actual track, its as close to the real thing as possible. Personally I hardly ever play the arcade or career modes. I just do timed races on nurburgring. It is absolutely brilliant. My real life personal best on a Yahama R6 (last year) is just under 9 minutes, which I was very proud of !

I got 7.06 with a Toyota GT Class A car last week. I think I could crack 7 minutes with it.

Worth it just for this alone IMO (but im a nurburgring fanatic, if a game has it, I get it !)

EDIT: Meant to say nurburgring in Forza is good too, but I like the "in the car" or on the seat views (on the bike), so it was minus points for that game.

When I get back from CES I plan on cracking some times with the bikes in GTR4 as well.

that does look really nice. i've not got a new console yet, but i want one mainly for racing and sports games. It's more fun just laying on the bed switching the console on and playing some games for a couple hours than sitting at the PC. Playing racing games on the PC has just never felt as fun as when i used to play GT4 on the PS2

i guess there are too many distractions when on a PC like the internet and whatever else

Its featured in game... PGR uploads your pictures to its website in 1280x720 and you just have to DL them to your PC

Wallpaper heaven imho

really now?! is that a feature of just PGR4? or can that be done with any 360 game?

Sandok · Jan 1, 2008, 02:08 PM

Just PGR and Forza and TDU (well normally never works...).

CDsDontBurn · Jan 1, 2008, 02:21 PM

gotcha. that'd be a nice feature to put in other games too. oh well.

take more screenies! you're tempting me to buy that game now!

Here's a few from my 360:

if sports games are your thing, id recommend the 360.
the reason being is that EA have stated they are making all their sports games (not sure on non sports) on the 360 and porting them over to ps3.
