PGR4 The Win

Yeah I definitely can't wait for PGR4 to come out, though it's gonna be tough to beat Forza 2 now...

I'll be happy if I can smoke up the tires=)

yeah... ummm... after PGR3, this has become my favorite racing series ever.

to hell with forza.

I NEED MORE MONEY TO BUY ALL THESE GAMES!!!

Oh baby am I glad I bought the racing wheel. This game's gonna be sick.

aw sweet racing awesomeness

We can only hope PGR4 contains the (now) traditional Geometry Wars sequel...

I'm pretty sure picking this one up. PGR4 seems to be way better than its predecessor, though PGR3 was great no doubt about it. Forza does indeed look nice but I'm not so keen on the simulation stuff. Definitely will make me think twice about getting the racing wheel...

Sounding great. That said, I'll only pick it up if it gets slightly more open race tracks. The previous games have been way too tight in the cities. The corners are so sharp and even with getting good ad drifting, it got me annoyed.

I hope there are some races that are technical but also allow me to get some serious speed.

BowserUSC: hopefully it'll work a bit better with PGR4... I mean, the racing wheel is cool for PGR3... just... those with a gamepad have a serious advantage.

"Forza does indeed look nice but I'm not so keen on the simulation stuff. Definitely will make me think twice about getting the racing wheel..."

It's been a while, but I swear the original Forza had a kind of quick run mode that was slightly more arcade-y in nature. I could be mixing this up with something else.

Hell yea! I can't wait!

Sheesh, so many games coming this fall.

WOW...I'm gonna pick up OXM for that month just to be able to read up on this...im hyped about forza 2 (keep in mind i never played the original...so i'm not 100% "sure" about the experience...) but since i've played pgr3...and absolutely LOVED it...i'm ecstatic about this game. :D

ETA is next winter...does that mean...THIS WINTER?!

No wonder I'm thinking about getting another job for the summer...

I think most release dates that say Winter mean around January/February.

Dear David Dreger,

I noticed that you mention a fall release date, which prompted me to inform you of something I feel is quite important.

You may be surprised to hear that at any one point in time seasons are in fact different all over the globe! Another amazing piece of trivia is that the internet is available outside the US! Incredible!

Regards,

Let's hope PGR4 is closer to PGR2 (the best console racer ever thanks to brilliant Live support) than to PGR3 (a rushed game with incredible flaws such as NO TIMING in races!).

I don't care if PGR4 has 70 or 250 cars or if the driver pumps his fist after victory.

Just give us great online racing (like in PGR2) without the stupid "you'll spin if someone breathes in your direction" physics, let us race for KUDOS with friends (matchmaking is annoying bullshit), introduce more statistics, get rid of the dull, flat, wide parking lot tracks (see Castle Eight in PGR2 how it should be done), bring back the "slow" cars, get rid of wall riding and shift glitching, punish for quitting races etc...

Oh, and a rewarding online-aware solo game would be nice too with all sorts of weekly challenges etc..

My Xbox360 purchase is hanging on this game only.

this is great news. too bad they can't mash this up with forza. I would love to see some of the physics and customization aspects of forza in pgr4, or an in car view in forza. in car view is the hottness.

Hey mark...his name isnt David...its KNUCKLES! :P

lol...and btw...he lives in canada...hence he does know that there is a world outside the US. (just fyi for ya...our winters here in canada are worse than anything the US could imagine. so YES we do know what a REAL WINTER is like.)

thank you for posting that he mad a slight mistake.

have a GRRRRREAT day! :P

I hope the bigger collection of cars and tracks doesn't mean a diluted PGR experience!

If PGR4 is better than PGR3, then that will be quite an achievement. Looking at their track record and how the game has improved on each sequel (PGR --> PGR2 --> PGR3), then PGR4 is probably going to be a bloody amazing game.

I had some things to say, buy dgsa basically said them all.

I would like to see how PGR4 builds on PGR2 more than anything, because PGR3 was a vastly inferior game.

PGR3 has so few cars that they removed all the car classes, so instead of having to master convertibles, sport compacts, muscle cars and even pickup trucks and SUVs, you just get a good car and drive it in every race.

Bring back the slow cars. The Acura Integras and Miatas. And please bring back the Porsches too.

And how making it possible to drive cars that AREN'T Ferraris and win this time? The Enzo is a class B car? Not. And the 355 and 360 shouldn't be in separate classes either just so the 355 can dominate one.

PGR2 was the best non-sim on-road console driving game, hands down. PGR3 was a disappointment. Let's see PGR4 start where PGR2 left off and go up from there.

I'm glad to hear of short video clips. TOCA 2 use these to great effect. TOCA 2 is a very simmy driving game, but through the use of just a few simple clips with your quirky Scottish manager directing you through your career, it becomes a lot more accessible. The single player "career" mode of PGR4 would be improved a lot by adding just a little bit of story to get non-racing nuts more engaged.

Did anyone here if Microsoft is gonna make a black racing wheel to match the Elite?

to dgsa and LS2/LS7?,

I share you views completely on PG3, utter wa*k compared to PGR2. But there is HOPE! I spoke to a map developer for the series last night and he admitted that the aim for PGR3 was to release, make money, and it was aimed at being like PGR1. Although I lost all respect for Bizzare after playing PGR3, and now dedicate anytime to forza (even though I miss PGR2), He promised me that they are trying to make it more like PGR2!

I told him I didn't trust Bizzare's promise, and that they should make some bloody maps in Europe again. I know everyone not new to the series, much prefered the Russian maps, and barcelona, etc. So after breifly slagging him off I can only Pray some of the info has sunk in and they aren't being lead by a complete money making sell out this time.
