Sweet sweat FX err...on a car! To add more realism they should add air conditioning and defrost controls.
The weather is cool an all... but PGR was more like RidgeRacer than a Racing Sim... which makes me a sad panda...
I really disliked PGR3 cuz it was so unrealistic.
Forza 2 + GT:HD ftw!!!

ya that is true...I have a hard time placing the PGR series...it isn't arcady enough to be quite like RidgeRacer and not quite realistic enough to be a sim...WHAT IS IT?!?!

That trailer music was far too laid back for a racing game. I ended up just zoning out and afterwards, realising I hadn't actually been watching the video.
I only spent a few minutes with the Forza demo, but so far I like PGR3 better which means I should like PGR4 even more.
@ Grim: Forza 2 and GT:HD are more for people who love realistic games or are HUGE into motorsports... I'm not trying to judge but I doubt your a big car guy Grim... That probably is why you seem to enjoy PGR more so. It also helps to have the full steering wheel setup etc...
@DJ Duffy: I call PGR Mario Kart for the 360 to piss my friends off that like it... ;)

I like PGR more than Forza and GT....I don't like a complete arcade or sim feel...just somewhat in the middle.
All they really needed to do was fix the unbearable load times. That was, by fucking far, the worst part about PGR3. They were the reason I sold it back to EB.
dynamic rain yes, but crowds that are not weather protected including fake camera men with cameras in the rain.... kinda takes away from the realistic rain feel
grim you REALLY need to give forza a chance. I felt the same way last gen with the original on the xbox and it soon came to own my soul. Even my girlfriend got into it. you're not less of a man than, uhm, my girlfriend, are you?

Yeah, $150 at retail for the wheel. I'm actually planning on buying it tonight in lieu of the Forza 2 demo.
Personally, I love both the sim racing games and the arcadey ones like PGR. It's hard to play one of these games and then jump into another one though. Takes me about an hour to get into the right mindset when I switch games. I've heard that the wheel works great with Forza but not so much with PGR3. Hopefully PGR4 will get along with the wheel much better.

PGR3 is horrible with the wheel! I tried to play it for a few days with the wheel and couldnt get the handle of it... could have been cuz i was playing GT:HD often also!
It really is bad if everyone else is to be believed (who would lie on the Internet?). That game pre-dated the MS wheel though.
Maxx - kind of like how when I play Burnout Revenge drunk and then jump in the car I tend to "check" traffic?
PGR is pretty awesome. It's technical enough to frustrate me and be a challenge but its fun enough to not bore the absolute shit out of me like Gran Tourismo and those other proper sims.
Still...Burnout 2 FTW!

I love me some sims, but I really enjoy PGR3 too.
Sometimes, especially when you get up to the last few races in GT or Forza, or on legend on MotoGP, it can be a bit tense. PGR is nice to throw in and have fun with some friends online. GREAT in car view too. Turn off the HUD, maps, etc, listen to the engine for when to shift, very immersive.
And it's still got a great rendition of Nordschleife. Boba, it's Mario Kart with Nurburgring!

I played the Forza 2 demo last night. While it did look good, it didn't look fantastic. However, the features on it blew my mind!!! I'm not much of a racing fan, though. I spent most of my time in the demo trying to crash into other cars.
MS steering wheel + PGR3 = crap
MS steering wheel + Forza 2 demo = Godly
I got the wheel last night. Over $160 with tax. Played PGR3, knowing that the game wouldn't work well with the wheel... didn't realize just how poorly it would work. That style of game just doesn't work with a steering wheel. I now doubt that PGR4 will fare much better.
Played Forza 2 demo with the wheel though... I probably played that game at least 4 hours last night, just on that one track, mostly with the A class cars. I even played with all of the assists turned off (except for ABS), no racing line, and on manual transmission (I never use manual in racing games). Holy F was it fun. Worth every penny.
