The pictures really don't do the game justice.

wowzers - to me it looks substantially better than pgr3. The rain effects on the windscreen are especially impressive!
There was never any doubt in my mind, but I'll definately be picking this up.
So this came out two days ago in North America, right? I've been chomping at the bit waiting for this thread to go nuts with player opinion but it seems either everyone's too busy playing it, or I got the release date wrong (taking it from IGN). It's not out here in the UK until the 12th, so I'm relying on this thread for my informed play fix :smile:
I got it yesterday, but I didn't get a chance to play much, I started on the cars, the handling is good, not as arcade as Sega Rally as the cars don't float not as sim as Forza is a good mix. The graphics are far better than PGR3 which I also had.
And not every race has weather effects like someone said, I played the first championship which is 3 races, and I only got 1 lap of rain on the very last lap of the last race, and it wasn't a heavy rain.
You start low on the career and have to build up your driver thru the ranks so it should be an interesting change.

While not from this forum, I did read a very positive review from a picky user who was totally against the bikes... he loves the game.
Holly shiats!!! This game is totally awesome
I don't know what exactly makes this game something less than a 9 honestly. The physics were improved and are what I believe is a mix of both PGR3 and PGR2, which makes it really awesome and very fun to drive. Bikes, something I was not entirely sold on, are really fun too and just add one more layer of variety to an already diverse game.
We have 10 cities/locations with UNBELIEVABLE weather effects, a great career mode with all kinds of ENTERTAINING challenges, and improved garage mode (although I wish there were more), Geometry Wars Waves, some customization, great music (catchy), a great online mode, the best photomode around, the best replays BY FAR, a great interface, and something PGR3 was missing--a sense of achievement--, great sound effects and.......................
.................The best graphics on any racing game out there right now and in the near future! This game looks jaw-dropping to say the least. Everything looks fantastic, but you probably already know that, so what details you might not know? Weather effects are really something, just wow--and no, you really don't know. Tire smoke looks WAY above anything I've seen in any other racing game, even that of Need for Speed (too damn fake). I wont' elaborate much into here but....
Shanghai + Rain + in-car camera = *jaw drops*.......+ replay? *Jaw gets permanent damage.*
Only time will tell which is better, PGR2 or PGR4.
And a fairly positive 8.7 from GameTrailers.

Major complaint is that it doesn't bring anything new to the genre. But they say it hits the simy-arcade blend, is deep, looks great, and lacks any major faults.
Lazyness?I don't think its as good as 2 but, better then 3. Although why anyone would use a game sountrack over their own playlist is beyond me!
I played split screen a little bit last night. Can't do my usual throw it hard into a corner and drift approach in heavy rain or snow. That will take a little getting used to. Bikes are a nice addition though I think they'll take some practice to get used to.
I don't remember if this was covered already in the thread, but are some of the maps nighttime only? Also, one pet peeve from PGR3 is there's no random track mode in multiplayer. It's a pain to manually switch tracks all the time. Still I plan to pick up my own copy of the game this weekend.
Decent? That thing used to flip on motorways!Finally a decent car instead of all the jap crap and crappy supercars
Picked it up last night.
First of all the driving system is NOT like PGR3. In PGR3, you were getting close to Ridge Racer territory but this feels more like a cross between PGR3 and Forza 2. You don't just slide out for no reason.
The game is very pretty. In motion, in pictures, whatever, the game looks great. I like the screen noise they added when you crash. That's pretty good.
Going into it, I expected the weather effects to be quite cheesy and a turn off. This is not the case. The effects actually do make the game even more fun. Props to bizzare for pullling that off.
Not all is perfect though. The difficulty is trying to get Golds and Platinums' is too much. Takes away from the fun if you ask me. Bikes will take some getting used to. I tried them a couple of times and it's interesting to say the least.

That last shot and the one from CEO look pretty damn nice.
I have a feeling that GT5 isn't going to look so far ahead of the competition by the time it comes out. No doubt it'll be the best looking driving game, but probably only marginally so.
