Sounds like the game PGR3 (or PGR2.5) should have been if it hadn't been rushed for release.
Looking forward to it. Whether the ingame gfx are as good as those screen shots I'm not too convinced yet.

 

Dont see why that shot cant be ingame, they model the building a solid block and then put a photo of the real building over the top of it...

 

Well they've had 18months to build and improve on their existing engine so lets hope so

 

A couple more...

 

That rain beading effect on the cars is awesome!

Project Gotham Racing 4 - Bizarre Creations

btw that screenshot above is featured in the weather demo thingy in the link so yes looks like it is ingame shot

 

Nice

 

Looks nice, i just hope there isnt bike only races tho as i suck on 2 wheels

 

*keep an open mind*
*don't worry I'm sure they'll do a decent job on the bikes*
*keep an open mind*

So in joint car/bike races, are those on the bikes going to be un-knockoffable (w00t new word!) if not, pfffffffft how rubbish, if so, pfffffffft no one will bother choosing the bikes cause everyone will just knock you off at the first corner.

edit.. the rider models look flepping fantastic!

 

E3 hands on report at Joystiq.

Joystiq hands-on: PGR4 (Xbox 360) - Joystiq

 

more likely gears of war for the PC

YouTube - Gears of War PC (E3 Montage)





notice the strange "achievement unlocked" graphics around 22 seconds

 

Not really strange, I'm sure GoW on the PC will be Vista only and so you'll have your own gamertag like 360 owners do.
Wonder if the PC version will be longer than the 360 version?

 

There is an additional 5 chapters i think. I'll post the link if i can find it again.


Bit more on PGR
E3 2007 - Project Gotham Racing 4 E3 2007 Preshow Hands-On - Xbox 360 News at GameSpot

 

seams quite a bit in that short film has stuff in it which was removed/never added to the 360 version, specifically the fight with with that large 2 legged monster-beast

i would imagine you would need a fairly intense pc to run gears at full detail levels

i bought the 360 as i had no intentions of "upgrading" the current home pc to play games, i would be a little bit miffed if the pc version was sooo much better

 

could be available as additional content?

 

The problem arising here if they cross platform it with the online play both on 360 and vista is that the majority of pc owners will kick *** using mouse/keyboard combo, this is one of the reasons call of duty 4 developers refused to release the online aspect for both vista / 360.

 

believe it when you see it moving

How many times have developers tried to pull the wool over our eyes with pre-release eye-candy ? The usual suspects.... Codemasters and Digital Polyphony and now Bizarre.

The main culprit is usually the lighting - the shots seemed to be rendered with a lighting model way advanced of the ones in the games.

Also, in the past they've (Polyphony and Codemasters) also rendered the shots in a high-res mode, which the game didn't even run in!!

 

The US version of GT4 was able to output at 1080i though wasnt it?

 

Only photomode surely?
I doubt the PS2 could do 1080i on the fly?

 

i was thinking about this today, i think the problem could be that any additional chapters would need extra achievement points?

and i thought i read somewhere that 1250 points was the limit for a game

 

i tried the forza 2 demo and wasn't at all impressed, this does look good tho

 

It could be like oblivion with shivering isle addon, this added the extra 250 points making oblivion a 1250 game.

 

GOW already has 1250G after the last map pack.

 

Ah, never got the extra maps so didnt know

 

Just go and get F2 you big girl!
You're missing out on a great game!

 

I think the first map pack becomes free in September, the recently release new pack which has the achievements linked to it - I've no idea...

If you fancy some new maps for a game - R6 has 2 free map packs available now, played them last night the they're pretty good.

 

is it just me or does this 4th one look exactly like the 3rd aprt from weather conditions?

 

5 of the 10 cities are the same, but graphically it is far superior, also there's new features, bikes, team play, weather etc.

Hopefully there will be a demo released during E3 this week

 

5 are the same, although they have had some graphical tweaking so it'll be a case of spot the difference...

 

Nope, 1080i mode is present for the full game in GT4 - Although in practice is not *that* much better than 480p
