PGR2 Downloadable Content 2

[Silvia_Drift]

Hey guys. The second set of Project Gotham 2 Racing downloadable content came out like last week. Again, it costs $5USD or $7CDN plus tax to download. It features 8 new tracks set in the city Long Beach California and 8 new cars. Here are pictures I took of all the new cars:

All these cars are great but my favorite would have to be the handmade, widebodied Subaru Impreza 22B with the Porsche GT2 coming a close second. The only thing I don't understand about this update is that the 993 GT2 that was originially in PGR2 is faster in a straight line than the 996 GT2. Is this true in real life? If your wondering, in my opinion, this is a much better update than the Paris one that was released a while back. Anyways, all you xboxers, go download this awsome update.

[T-Bird]

what the hell it's only $5 I can spare that I blew it on the first one.

[SilviaEvo]

i cant waste money on that :cry: so i dont have XBOX Live or any of the Downloadable content. :cry:

[vexor]

I've tested all the cars in the new pack and the Radical rocks!!! it will beat the TVR Speed 12 in all the tracks .... except the Nurburgring.

[gis]

i wanna get this extra content but u would really have expected them to do sumthin for the people who dont have x-box live.like on a demo disc with a magazine,think about it the cost of the magazines witht he demo discs costs the same as that extra content if not more so they would still make the money

[No.1]

AWww SHIT :x

i want some of these add-ons :cry: BUT i don't have... and don't want... Xbox live :roll:

I hope this happens too... i don't buy or read games mags, but for sure i would buy it if it had this content on... they did it with Splinter Cell i seem to remember :?

[gis]

id have thought microsoft would have gone all out on making money with this extra content,doin it on magazines aswell would make more money for the people who dont have or dont want x-box live

Yeah.... it's not fair :cry:

BTW - Xbox & PS2 prices will probably fall to about £100 in the UK in the next six months, due to big releases such as GT4... so if you don't have a PS2, go out and buy one, when the price drops, along with a copy of GT4 8)

If you get live i am sure you will download both anyways :wink:

It would be great if you could download the content on the PC, burn it to a CD, dump it to the Xbox hard drive and start up the game using the PGR2 Disc :D

I want these packages so bad, but refuse to give more money for a game i shelled out £40 for in the first place :x The fact that the free trial i have requires credit card details is another insult... just a ploy to charge you if you forget to cancel it at the correct time.

Bill Gates is a shit :fist:

[EDIT] As for the pics in the first post... it seems the Ariel Atom was the quickest... taking only 13secs to park up :wink:

[RC45]

Is it not true that the cars can only be used on Live!?

Are the downloads tied to your account, as in once their system credits you, you can always have access to the content, or will you get charged each time you re-download (as in someone deleted your PGR2 game ect) ?

All in all screw microshaft on this one.

[T-Bird]

you can use them yourself not only in live And I'm not sure if you have access to them if you erase them somehow. The crappy part is how long it takes to download them it takes forever.

[5.7 V10]

I believe you can only use them online and time laps . My question is, if i get LIVE for a month and then after the month i cancel it. Are the cars still avaliable after LIVE isn't connected?

Damn, i hate the way they set this up. They should just sell the damn cars and tracks on a disk :x

[Sachmo12345]

thats bullshit they charge you to download that

[T-Bird]

yes! you can use them outside of Xbox live I do it all the time.

[RC45]

yes! you can use them outside of Xbox live I do it all the time.
Please explain and elabortae? I have had 2 independant XBox users claim otherwise.

As in you can simply fire up the XBox, put in PGR2 and drive the dowloaded cars in ANY type of race/game?

[T-Bird]

i have used the downloaded content in every single part of PGR2 except the main progressive game which is pretty much set in stone about the cars/ tracks etc... but all other aspects of the game online or NOT you can use the cars freely I do it quite often I took the CSL down the Autobahn with no trouble and I shot down the Champs Elysee in a Ferrari 360CS they all combine freely with out needing to be hooked up with Live at the time of playing the game.

Thanks for an honest low down... :)

So what you are saying is I can tackle the 'Ring with one of these cars in an offline (LAN cable disconnected) run?

Honestly?

I don't wanna go blow $10 for nada.... ;)

[T-Bird]

yeah I'll even double check it right now for ya.

There you go a record of 8:23.433 in a Corvette C6 at the 'Ring even with a questionable spin out coming out of a rather large corner.

[DMbaseball1604]

These are all some great cars and I like the game alright...but I dont have Xbox Live and so I dont want to go spend money on that and then more money on downloading the cars...I'm just going to be patient and wait on GT4!! :D

[fabro_s]

Great downladable content, I want XBOX and PGR2, great gameeee...

[tigerx]

hopefully they'll come out wit a PACK that have all of these content. for once i'm beggin microsoft for sumthing.

[T-Bird]

hell I'm begging them to fix their damn IE and for the new Windows OS.

Is that going to be called Longhorn... cos that is a great name :P

PS... why is XP called XP... does it stand for anything :?:

[T-Bird]

yeah Longhorn is the new one due in atleast 2 years time maybe more. Not sure about the origins of the XP name.

[RC45]

Well - typical microshaft fashion the XBox is ina loop state..

'XBoxlive update needed - Your XBox will now restart to download update - Do not turn off XBox"

'XBox Live not available try again later"

'XBoxlive update needed - Your XBox will now restart to download update - Do not turn off XBox"

'XBox Live not available try again later"

Well - if the XBox knows it needs a fucking update -how the hell can XBox Live not be available.

*shrug*

They just saved me $10... ;)

[T-Bird]

that happened to me before I tried the next day and all was good.

[RC45]

Well my patience is done with XBox Live... not worth the hassle. If it can't plug-n-play on demand, one may as well stick to PC games... or non-online console titles.

What problems are you having with xbox live? For me, it was very simple and easy to set it. It does plug-n-play on demand for me. You should really give it another chance; it adds a whole new demension to xbox games.

I have used XBox last year quite a lot - but pulling out the XBox and plugging into the network this time round (if it is network issues) wasn't plug n play.

I don't have to re-configure any of the switches or network components when I add other network devices to the network, I am not prepared to have to adjust change or mess with it just to use XBox live.

[blah]

Im loving these download packs. t he C6 kicks ass, so does the M3 csl. I dont use to tvr to much unless its for cat and mouse, I know more about the konigsegg than the TVR when it comes to driving it. i can push the konig harder than i can the TVR. the Radical is fucking sweet, sounds like a F1 race, when you got 8 players using it starting the game. Fucking amazing really. I cant wait for forza, and of course PGR3. This game is more than worth the 50 bucks original price.
