I agree 100% - sadly with PGR2 if you haven't got the time to go through 1 player and unlock all the cars then you can't really compete online as everyone uses the best cars. Hence my PGR2 online play was minimal as I still haven't finished the whole 1 player game! Forza is better as you can buy cars etc but it just makes sense to have all the cars available at the start, then at least everyone is on a level playing field online.

CAS - if you ask MunkeyBoy he has my platinum game save on his maxdrive thingy!

id prefer to have the challenge to unlock the cars, but have the option of 'cheating' by putting in a code to unlock all the cars for people who don't want to.

bauer - i can't wait to get home and download those vids

Ah - now I've seen the vid I understand - the quote should actually be there's as many polygons in the PGR3 Brooklyn Bridge as an entire city in PGR2! Wow! And I too love those audio clips, much more like it!

for non-ign insider people the 720p trailer can be found here:

Wowsers!

Just seen the 720p vid, I’m getting very excited about this!

Update 8

Tejstar · 30-07-2005, 12:27 PM

The new issue of Edge has PGR3 on its front cover!

This is what it says on the inside cover:

Here's an exercise for you. Take this magazine and place it, open and face down, on a flat surface in front of you. Now, imagine that the Edge logo and all the other furniture isn't actually there at all. Done that? OK, you're now looking at a snapshot of Microsoft's 'High Definition Era' thanks to an in-game image of Xbox 360 title Project Gotham Racing 3.

It has a great feature on the game too!

*Pooon* · 30-07-2005, 12:29 PM

Think i'll be popping down Smith's in a minute then

Is there actually any new information of screenshots though, or is it just what we already know from Bizarre's site?

Tejstar · 30-07-2005, 1:12 PM

In terms of screenshots there doesn't seem to be anything new. However the feature is well worth a read.

I had to read that sentence a couple of times to makes sure my eyes weren't deceiving me. Thank God the rest of what you said turned a potentially prono moment into a visual of what Xbox360 gaming is going to look like.
Now, if this had been DOA being mentioned, would we have had the same wording after the above? Hmmm.....I think not.

Tejstar · 31-07-2005, 4:12 PM

I wonder if there'll be an update of DoA: Beach Volleyball! Imagine what they could do with all that extra power in terms of breats physics!

pjskel · 31-07-2005, 7:15 PM

Brings a whole new meaning to fluid motion!!

*Pooon* · 03-08-2005, 7:58 PM

WOW Big Picture!!!

CAS FAN · 03-08-2005, 10:08 PM

Very nice indeed! I was looking for a copy in Tesco today but they don't appear to stock Edge any more!

I feel that way too. I'd buy a 360 just for that. Unfortunately I think Sony have got the F1 rights pretty much sewn up to be a Playstation exclusive.

*Pooon* · 04-08-2005, 2:31 PM

F1=Snooze1 i just don't see the appeal of the real thing which puts me off games of it, plus imagine playing it online with collisions on, no one would ever finish a race!
