Graphics aren't bad, but I've seen a fair few glitches. Walls disappering, huge lumps of scenery with no texture on at all (i.e. just black). I played it on normal, and finish the campaign in about 6 hours (just went straight through it). Might have another go on Heroic...

As for PGR being soulless, hasn't it always been a bit like that?

Ghetto Dude3

i think i`m just a bit crap as wel, got stuck on the first level on heroic

normal was a bit of a doddle although i have not seen any of these mystical skull things so will probably have to play it again at some point (think im up to the ark level now)

will be up for some n00b c0-0p if required

Well I'll play it solo and then I'll certainly be up for trying the co-op mode

InvisibleMan

im trying to get a skull atm & i think it requires a n00bs head to stand on in order to get it, if you think your up for the quest

bob269

pffft thats the easy way, i did them all solo, frustrating as hell but i got them in the end

Try the grenade launch, drop it by your feet and jump

Mr.Manchester

Back on topic......

Unless you want the 20G Achievment points for 1 Million kudos dont bother just for the gamerpic, i spent all day getting the 1 million, then spent it on the gamerpic expecting it to be something special to be rewarded with something that resembles a squashed casino chip......



How pathetic.

Ive got 755G off it so far, some achievments seem a little stupid, like the "get 8 cars in the air at the same time" for 10G achievment, i mean who can be arsed?!?!?

ScoobyDoo555

Well, I haev to admit to eagerly awaiting the download of the PGR4 demo......

only to wholly underwhelmed by the game

Forza2 is much better. Sure, the weather model is fun, the game handling/realism element, especially after Forza 2, is absolutely shocking

I will still probably get it, but I've a few more titles to get first......

Disappointed

Mr.Manchester

Behave, theres only so many times you can do 7 laps of the nurbergring, then get a little further through the game to do 30 laps of some other tripe, the game is way to repetitive.

ScoobyDoo555

well, you're entitled to your opinion, and I'm entitled to mine.

bob269

PGR has never meant to conform to realism, it states on the opening screen that the racing in the game is unrealistic (albeit its the disclaimer for "don't try this at home") point is, it doesnt try to be realistic, it's an arcade racer.

ScoobyDoo555

still not impressed tho

StickyMicky

tried the demo last night, was not that impressed either, feels no different to PG3 really

bikes are crap as expected

will probably pick up a pre owed copy in a month or so if there's nothing better to play.

messiah

The demo wasnt what I was expecting it to be like, the menu systems seems a bit "SD" for want of a better term.

Didn't think the bikes were so bad myself, but it was only recently that I was really into MotoGP so that probably helped.

Not quite sure about the viewpoints - PGR3 has 2 bumper cams at different heights, the demo only has one and typically its the one I didnt use as I felt it was too close to the ground.

Can anyone tell me if the full game has it put back?

Mr.Manchester

For anyone intersted ive set up a small PGR4 forum here: Project Gotham Racing 4

Feel free to join.

Mogsi

Nope, it's the same in the full game, first thing I thought was 'This camera is to low'

messiah

*****.

I might be spending more time on a bike than I first thought then...

bob269

Isn't the camera included on the demo the bonnet cam?

I use this mostly, but i'm missing the very low down bumper/floor view as it used to allow for some very preceise corning.

messiah

The one in the demo is the chin scraper, I always played the one a little higher up - the lower one made it harder for me to judge distances.

I also thought the speedo was a little too intrusive in the demo.

bob269

Ah, i've been playing the pgr3 tourney on the low view for the last few months maybe this is why i'm used to it. I need to try the tourney next week while everybodies busy on pgr4

is there any point to playing the career on Hardcore ? can't see any more achievements for it ?

Mr.Manchester

Nope, ive been playing it on Normal, easy is just to easy!

Thunder77

Still waiting for my copy to be delivered Probably stuck in some post office somewhere. The way these comments go I'm a bit apprehensive now whether its worth the money.

kernel

Mine has now got scratched while being played and one whole section of the game that did work doesn't now

PeteBrant

Really enjoying the game - Best PGR yet.

Some pics

Awesomepossum

Also really enjoying this game

Good sliding fun on the Ice and Snow

Seem to be playing a lot on the Ice tracks in old school classics like the Cossie and the Growler

Detail on the interior is excellent but a tad restrictive view wise

Looking forward to wasting many an hour on this

messiah

Be curious to know the resolution is, surely wont be long before some geek counts the pixels.

Really enjoying it but there are a few gripes - my main bugbear is the raindrops in the online lobby - just effects for the sake of using them. Dont think the online rankings are much cop either, preferred the PGR3 style with tru-skill ranking.

Have to say that the 22b is awesome in this game

Mr.Manchester

one thing i hate is the music in the menu, like a broken record!

Neanderthal

iTrader: (6)

Can't understand why they've put the rain effects on the game menu?!

I've played it for a couple of hours... maybe it's better online.

RB5-Black

bit worried about the platinum achievemnt

can't use the bikes to save myself
