Joystiq, PGR3 and faceplate. PGR3 and faceplate, Joystiq

Project Gotham Racing 3 is one we're really looking forward to playing. With strong reviews - including a rare 100% from 1UP - its one of the best reviewed titles in the launch lineup. A couple more titles with reviews this strong might make the 360's one of the strongest console launches ever.

Microsoft also sent over this pretty little faceplace, which we'll be sure to sport while racing ourselves silly. Stay tuned for shots of this running on the big-screen, where we anticipate such a large and lifelike image it will be virtually indistinguishable from reality, creating rifts in time and space while laying waste to all previous notions of "immersion." Or perhaps not, we'll let you know.

Worst. Claim. Ever.
For shame, Joystiq.

I think they need a Kameo face plate. Did you all invite any of your readers to the party?

worst claim ever? how many PS2 or dreamcast titles got 10/10 or 9/10 reviews at there launch? If PDZ or DOA4 comes through (1up and ign are reviewing PDZ right now) then this launch lineup will contain three titles with a 9/10 or better, and a few getting 8's (condemned, madden) That's pretty good if you ask me, considering the number of shitty games out there. If 4 or 5 out of 18 games score an 8 or higher with the rest getting mediocre scores like 6 or 7's how can you not make that claim? The way it looks right now no game from the launch is getting less than a 6/10.

OOO PGR3 faceplate.How can we get a hold of that?I went to gamestop today and i didnt see one.

PGR3 is not worth spending $400 on...it's expected that all the next-gen games are gonna have awesome graphics so that shouldn't a huge selling point.

We were having a mini-tournament here at work and while it was fun & pretty...it is not worth spending $300-400 on.

I dunno, Joystiq. I'm sure it's good and all, but there's just no way that you can put this launch lineup even in a lifeboat outside of the grand ocean liner of fun that was the Dreamcast launch lineup.

Um jago, who buys a system for one game? lol that's one of the most retarded arguement I've ever heard.

Blueman @ Dec 18th 2005 9:13PM

I'll give you $3 for that piece of plastic... that's my last offer.

Jago @ Dec 18th 2005 9:13PM

I could stoop to your level and respond like you did to me but I won't.

With that said...there are people who buy systems b/c of one game. Ever heard of a little game called "Halo"? Plus there are people who hold off on buying a particular system b/c they are waiting till it has a specific game.

"I dunno, Joystiq. I'm sure it's good and all, but there's just no way that you can put this launch lineup even in a lifeboat outside of the grand ocean liner of fun that was the Dreamcast launch lineup."

If Peter Moore had said his "greatest launch titles in the history of game" thing when he was promoting the Dreamcast, I would have believed him alot more then with the X360 launch...and I wasn't a fan of the Dreamcast when it launch either.
