Microsoft released six new images of Project Gotham Racing 4 for the Game Convention.
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.
Once i just watched the hd videos and screenshots of Gran Turismo...nothing compares. I thought i was looking at the real thing. This, not even the driver of the bike (which doesn't look that great, not realistic) does not have a SPOT of rain on him. While the rest of his bike does. The 'snow' in PGR4 is like a mist or cloud that is from ps2/xbox years, same with the snow floor, its like streaks of a few colours, it looks flat and really.....crap for a next gen game. Dissapointing. But i love the game anyway so ill probably get it. I geuss...maybe not might get GT Prolouge instead?
bah this going to end up being a GT5 vs PGR4 fanboy thread even though both games look good graphically with a slight edge towards GT5
I gotta say i like the bikes in this game. The riders can do quite cool things. And the weather effects are good too
But it's gotta be done really...
At least use a decent comparison.
Wheres are the weather affects on GT5?
