"The devil's in the detail," says Talbert, leading CVG to a curtained-off corner of Bizarre's Liverpool home, filled with Xbox 360s running 4. "Anyone can make a good looking game but the top games blow people away by being super-realistic, adding things them gamers didn't expect and surprising them."
Luke Plunkett of Kotaku writes, "I think we all took the Xbox 360 for granted. Other all-time greats like the SNES and PS2 seem to be remembered more fondly than Microsoft’s console, which tends to be recalled as more of a thing that happened than a platform to be treasured."
A Kotaku writer pining for Xbox's golden years. I'm guessing there will be some good comments here.
“WE”didn’t take it for granted, M$ did.
What happened prior to launch of the One up through current day with their marketing and focus away from games and consumers. The failure of the One has nothing to do with the 360 being great. In fact backward compatibility and the 360 is about all the One had/has going for it. Now M$ is dumping money into fornite articles to try and be seen as more than they are, a company that doesn’t give a damn about its fan boys or products.
Clickonline writes "To many, cars are simply a way of getting from point A to point B. But to gamers they are a way of doing so as quickly as possible, while leaving opponents trailing in your wake. The racing genre’s grid has always been full of fierce competitors. And there’s no indication that this will change any time soon with Gran Turismo 6 taking to the start/finish straight and next-gen exclusives such as Driveclub and The Crew."
Jalopnik - I'd just taken over as Tesla's PR guy and had been contacted by old friends at Microsoft Game Studios about including the Tesla Roadster in Project Gotham Racing 4. Darryl Siry, my boss, took me into Martin Eberhard's (Tesla's Co-founder/then CEO) office to broach the topic. That's when it went very wrong.
But... I did love PGR3...
The customization in Forza is AWESOME... and... it sucks...
hear me out.
In Forza 2, if you're just not as capable of tuning a car and you go to play online, you will get smoked.
Even if you just want to hop on and race in a car that you souped up in your career mode, chances are someone online will clean the track with your a55 because they've taken lots of time to tweak their specific car for that track.
In PGR, having the cars' performance unchangeable is nice because you can hop online, and not worry about anyone having a vehicle advantage, and just chalk up the results to operator skill....
This game is going to kick a55
Very true Feihc Retsam - masteR chieF. The modding/personalisation feature in Forza2 is very impressive, it's just that it took away the fun in the racing bit.
And w/out in-car camera viewpoint, it kinda sucks in bringing an extra sense of realism. Really boring when your're just looking at the road all the time, or " not real " if your in 3rd person view - like your racing remote cars.
Really don't consider this as simulation but still a very good racing game - and quite hard...
I believe that I'd have more time enjoying playing PGR4 for a very long hours ( which is more rewarding and it does'nt really matter if the game's a mix of arcade/simultaion as long as you get a lot of fun out of playing it... ) once it comes-out. Just hop in and go - and definitely view it from the dashboard angle.
