sure... ai is good. but that's not what ppl are buying games for.
but who likes easy to beat games ??? those are boring
who says they easy to beat as is?

don't think you have your info right there.

"The $299 version will come with the console, cables and 1 wired controller, but the $399 version will come with the 20GB hard-drive, a wireless controller, headset, ethernet cable and also a wireless remote control."

same hardware.

I just watched those trailers and I have to say its less then what I expected.

As far as graphics go, farcry maxed out has a bigger "wow, look at that" effect

The reflections looks to cartoony aswel.

Well yeah... I have a 6800GT and yes Far Cry looks better of course! But that is apples and oranges. You have to compare PGR3 to other console games. And for that matter any racing games, because I can not think of any racing game currently on PC or anything else that look that good...

Far Cry and PGR3 are apples and oranges...

/\/\/\

It is the best looking car game on any console I saw yes. Not taking away any credit. But seeing all those so called "screenshots" which apperantly are renders just I thought, I expected more.

How real something looks all depends on the lightning, and they got it all wrong in this game.

As for PC, Ill take some screenshots and Ill let you be the judge of lets say...hm GTL for eample. And just so you know, those arent screenshots on the first page of the thread, they are just some renders, because from the videos the game looks nothing like the pics.

Your link didnt work but i looked it up anyway...

Yeah it looks really cool... and I will downl..buy it as soon as it is out. My Asus 6800GT will be nice for it.

But, well it does not look nearly as cool as PGR3 looks. Sorry.

I'm all for “PC over console”. But I like games enough to know each platform will have its stars.

/\/\/\Just run the demo man, trust me, max it out. 4Xaa, 16AF, all things at max. The details are incredible. The details make this sim. The little tire smoke, exhaust smoke, and just so many little things.


It sure doesnt have the striking look of PGR3 I agree completly, but its much more subtle looking then PGR3.
