It's looking good, and with an early 2005 release I will almost certainly snap this one up. The screenshots look gorgeous, but will it beat the mighty GT?
Only time will tell...

Project Gotham 2 was dull, both on and offline. If that is driving perfection then give me Burnout 3 and Gran Turismo anyday. Project Gotham 2 is one of the dullest and most un-inspiring racing games I have ever played.
The incentive to continue playing was to buy cars you could only race in limited events and for what, to take them online and be bored even more?
Nothing comes close to the original Gran Turismo, the second was possibly on a par. The 3rd was only marred by stupidly long races but there were enough in there for this to be overlooked.

Not bothered. At all.

I've spent ages on that game and I've yet to find it dull. I have a few folk on my friends list who've also played it for hundreds of hours and they don't find it dull yet. Racing games are my favourite genre, and being able to play them in multiplayer and actually beat real people is probably the best bit. In the absence of 3 live-in friends, Live will do.

You are joking right? PGR2 is the closest thing there is to a perfect driving game. There are simply no flaws in it. Well, there is a glitch in KGB Corner when played at night with certain cars, with them being at certain places at certain times.

For your sake I hope your right...

Top dog of what, being boring?
Never been massively intrested in really realistic car games, so the GT series never really did much for me.
MSR on the Dreamcast, now that was how a single player racing game should be.

But that goes toshow you have never played the original two Gran Turismo games. The 100 lap races were introduced in GT3 and no one was happy. Aside from that the GT series is top dog.

They'd better do, because if they might...
*shakes fist*
The thing is, it'll probably be GAME that get to give the demos out - and I refuse to buy from GAME

GT4 will be dull, absoloutly dull.
They were originally saying that in online play if you crash into your opponents then you get a 10 second speed penalty...where's the fun in that?
GT games are far too dull for my liking. 100 laps of the same track to win a crappy car? fack off!
Forza looks intresting though, mainly for the online customisation, I look forward to painting childish swear words on my car and driving into all the Frenchies. Apparently they're giving a demo away with all pre-orders of Halo 2 in the States, hopefully they'll carry that on over here.

PS2 owners new all along about Resident Evil Outbreak though, it was no secret. When it was originally announced on IGN they said European online play was a doubt.
As for Forza Motorsport, everyone said the same about Sega GT and then Project Gotham 2, neither went close to the original two GT games and for me GT3 was still a better than both despite the ridiculous length of it.
Sony and Polyphony have a special something with the GT series and it feels different to every other driving game out there. We will see in a few weeks time exactly what is going to happen, I will bet my left testicle on it though, GT4 will rock, absolutely rock.

PGR2 does get dull, no question about that - but RSC2 is still fun to play, even better on Live. Recently gone back to it to finish off the Single player I never got round to completing.
I'm not saying online is essential, but it's definitely a big bonus. Also, Sony/Polyphony have been plugging the online aspect of GT4 for ages, making it one of the biggest points of interest in the new game. Now they've gone and dropped it all of a sudden, when lots of people were getting excited about it. Just like they did the dirty on Europe with the HDD - and RE:Outbreak.
It'll still be a good Single player no doubt, but if Forza can deliver, I know which one I'd rather buy.

Why though? Online play drags after a while, especially with racing games. Project Gotham 2 was fun for about 2 hours on LIVE and then it was just dull.
Providing it sticks to the formula that made the first 2 great then there should be no problems. My only complaint with A-Spec was the number of laps and long distance events. Aside from that it felt like any GT game only with some fantastic rally sections yet to be bettered by any stand alone Rally game.
