I really don't know what to make of those screens.

Alternate response: I saw videos of PGR3 today, and I simply do not care.
 
This game is shaping up nicely, puts another game on my overcrowded map. The 360 and possibly next gen is going to be hell for this self proclaimed low budget gamer.

360 and about 10 games I want
MGS4 stellar fraking trailer
Damn Rev controller madness

Grrr
 
For some reason those cars and background look very "cartoony"...for a while there I thought I was looking at the sequel to Auto Modellista.....
 
it's like someone, somewhere in redmond, washington said "PUSH THE BUTTON" and all of a sudden the internet was flooded with new, and great looking xbox360 media.

I was just wondering what happened to this game.
X360 games are looking better and better.
TDU was *horrible* at the TGS, and I mean it. I stil wonder if they were using the E3 version on the old alpha hardware or if it was really running on the final dev kits. The framerate was sometimes below 15 fps...
Come on Eden, you can do better than this !

it was there ? i had no idea.
These screens look much better than those from the e3 build though.

and these screens are not the game I saw in TGS. What I saw looked more like Top Gear Overdrive on N64 than PGR3

No one would mention it, it was *that* bad. I really hope it was the old E3 build.
 
Test Drive comments from TGS in this thread:

My impressions from that thread

Chittagong said:
Not only was the framerate bad (I'd say it could have dropped even lower actually), but the models and textures were crap. As a cherry on the cake, the game had HUGE collision detection issues (I mean WTF - not seen such on a show floor in ages). I actually witnessed three of the pods simultaneously having

1. Car driving through wall
2. Car getting stuck in the middle of the fence
3. Car dropping through the ground

People were pointing fingers and laughing - myself included. And I had the worst hangover, so making me laugh was not easy.

I could have sweared Titus had something to do with the game.

Yes I watched a TGS gameplay video and even I, someone who doesn't really mind about frames per second found it absolutely atrocious!
 
I hope its crap so I don't have to buy it.

I hope its OK so I can show the wife (she loves Hawaii)

I hope its fantastic so I can show the wife and actually enjoy playing it.

I hope it comes out after a while, so I have time to play PGR3 lots and lots and lots.

Or more like the developers got the final kits and are able to show what the system can really do. Of course more then few idiots on this board thought that was nothing but talk, even though we'd seen it before.

Of course based on the TGS build on this game, it seems they're still waiting. :lol Hopefully they've got something more solid to show next week, as a Test Drive that returns to the roots of what made it so great is a game I heavily desire. I really don't care how much better PGR3 looks, as long as it's smooth with a lot of traffic.
 
MS Japan kicked themselves in the balls (multiple times) by showing TDU at the 360 booth during TGS. I looked at it for a moment and had to run to the toilet to barf.
 
Apparently this game is in really rough shape right now. Everyone that saw it at TGS said they shouldn't even have shown it at all.

Probably 2006 release at this point. Why any racer wants to go up against PGR3 at launch is ridiculous.

Except of course Need For Speed, because the average gamer is apparently a total tool and will buy this POS.

You know, I've thought about that, but PGR3 utterly smacks the shit out of other racers. Just like 2K6 digitally assaults Live. I know EA is well, E fuckin A. The thing is, when it's new console time, and it's time to buy something, the hibernating graphic whore comes out. It's time to see why you've put up 400 bucks on a new consoles. I'm buying damn near every game, so I don't apply. To the average gamer though, PGR 3 and NBA 2K6 will bring forth the 'Holy Shits' from the casuals come later this month once the reels hit the stores
 
Yeah, thats what it comes down to I guess, if the average gamer gets to see the real details that make PGR and 2K pwn that EA bullshit.

I still would bet that NFS is in the top 5 bestselling 360 titles in 2005. Sad but true.
 
I went to TGS and took video of this game and can say with first hand experience that this game does not hold a flame to any other racing game on the XB360, or even all the higher end racers of this gen...pass

these screens are blown up and blurred so you can't see how bad the game really is, no joke
