Arcade style racer vs Dirt...hmm.. I've played both, I enjoyed both, and I like Dirt more.
I also hate the racing genre altogether as most older heads would know...

[BloodWar]

Well now thats an answer lmao ok cool i just thought dirt was no fun and Motorstorm was lotsa fun .

[TheApprentice]

DiRT was boring as hell...
Well the demo that is...

Motorstorm demo so so so fun....
Play it probably 50 times now...

(I delete DiRt demo today despite long hours spent downloading it...)

[vivman1107]

Hmm ... as we on de topic of racing game demos ... anyone try a little demo called Gran Turismo HD? Honestly, that is the first time in my years of playing games/demos that I played one that actually let you unlock stuff. I sat down for an hour straight unlocking all the cars in the Time Trial mode. That, my friends, is some good stuff.

Forza 2 > GTHD
when you can swap out a V6 Legend engine into a Civic and modify a ferrari.....talk done. Microsoft essentially "teef" everything you can do in GT and add more to it. So now you can sell cars on an auction, race for cars, trade ...whatever whatever....along with some additional modifications....like engine swaps and MS with exclusive rights to the supercar manufacturers. Actually since the first one was out GT was put in the shade...their non car damage seriously....SERIOUSLY hurts the game as a simulation. Not to mention some visual modifications to make your ride stand out. I dont like rice......but when it look good and could cut your @ss....its a different story.

as for the DiRT/Motorstorm......ill get Motorstorm but as for DiRT ill wait to see if the 360 or PS3 version is better. Ill be getting both for sure.
Motorstorm seems like a fun arcade style racer...lots of jumps and crashing which is fun and GREAT to play when you want to just play the @ss and race and crash and stuff.
DiRT is hardcore.....nothing like an adrenaline rush pushing your car to the limits on a tarmac road uphill....zomg love it. You still cant beat a perfectly executed drift ill be sure to save a vid run and send it to you guys
alyuh racers not able with me....i serious

[BloodWar]

 the thing that sets GT out and makes it more sim than Forza is the fact that every car in it has been tested and driven by the developers and built to specs in the game now i agree i dont like that bouncin of walls crap and i dont like GT all that much but its alot to say u tested every car in the game to make sure it drives exactly like how it does in real. As for GT HD? wtf dont u mean GT5? GT HD is just a little thing lmao not full game in series and 5 looks much better. Besides that Forza doesnt look anywhere near as good as GT.
 
If i was into that type of racing i dunno which id pick but While Forza can be more realistic at times GT has much better graphics and has every car built to specs so if u into simulation i dont know which one is better.

[shivadee]

Every car in forza is to spec....down to the tyres that the company sells them with. even the engine sounds for each car is to spec...including the sounds when they are modified. GT allowed you to do turbo kit upgrades, in Forza you can tune your turbo to see fit...not just bolt on.THe customization is much more detailed. I expect to see something similar in GT5.

GT graphics right now for the PS3 is @SS compared to the Forza 2 graphics. Shadow effects need AA improvements, reflection physics are not there all the time, no interaction with the track in comparison to Forza.  Its expected, Forza is a finished game, GT is not even at 50 percent complete. ANd it is very clear why Forza 2 has removed crowd interaction for the most part after seeing the GT beta. *Have forza 2 for 360 and have been playing the beta for GT because im part of Sony Advisor Panel (i get that stuff free). I also have the GT 4 online alpha disc for PS2 which was scheduled to be released last year....but was cancelled.

I expect to see an improvement in GT 5 as it comes nearer to release. MOre than likely it will look better, it had better. Polyphony has the time to learn from Forza and capitalize on it. Microsoft is going to throw GOtham Racing 4 at GT 5. Which is really no comparison....you cannot mod GOtham cars....but the super cars in Gotham you cannot get and will ever find anywhere else. Not to mention Gotham is a test and show of the XBOX's graphical power. If you want to compare graphics for consoles in car racing compare GT 5 to Gotham....the gameplay you will have to compare to Forza. Its diversity...which is a good thing.

[BloodWar]

Aight cool i never played forza but as i said im not into this type of racing, I like sims just not touring racing im more into street and such which is why NFS pro street really has me excited .

[vivman1107]

Hmm ... looks like I will have to check out Forza. I have to admit that damage modeling was never something I really wanted in a game, though. I never played the original Forza for Xbox. Maybe I'll start there since the game is really cheap now (yes, I'm a cheap@$$gamer).

Gotham is one of my favorite series from the original Metropolis Street Racer for Dreamcast (yes, I had it). That game was real hard to get Kudos. I skipped Gotham 1 and went to Gotham 2 on Xbox. Ahh, the beauty of Ferrari's. Then, I got Gotham 3 on 360.

I prefer arcade style racing to sim style but for some reason GT grabbed my attention like no other sim racing game had before. I think it was the sheer number of cars that did it. Those license tests just kept you coming back as well.

Aight cool i never played forza but as i said im not into this type of racing, I like sims just not touring racing im more into street and such which is why NFS pro street really has me excited .

I hope so. I havent played a good NFS since the first underground. Second one was poorly done with instant jumps from free roam into tracks with no sort of realization that you were leveling as you progressed. The AI was poor as well.

Most wanted was nice....again the free roam i totally hated. It broke the rush of a race on the street to an actual race that meant something to the game. To add to that the cut scenes and fmv's were so good that it hyped the game up for much more than it really was.

Carbon i never really tried or got into. After hearing that EA's original plan was to make a fully online street racer mmo and then have to remove the aspect of online at that level because so many ppl were NOT online with PS2's i was very dissapointed. It would not have sold as well.

interested to see how they go with this one. Putting the cars on closed tracks in some instances may be a "positive" influence on the people that play it. But as a former street racer, if you stupid enough to open up in an area with traffic and dip in and out (which i used to do and was an @ss for doing it)....then leave that sh!t to do in a game please.


IMO hold out for Midnight CLub los angeles. I always liked this series. MUCH better character development, much more fun, MUCH harder to play and the free roam racing was just an adrenaline rush end to end.

[BloodWar]

I like NFS more than midnight club thought Carbon was real dissapointing i loved most wanted though and i like free roam just needs alot of improvement.

[vivman1107]

I have to agree with bloodwar on this one. Most Wanted was the best in the series, IMHO. This is from someone who actually owned every NFS since the very first one (Road & Track Presents Need for Speed) aside from Carbon. I miss those FMV's from the first 2, though. Those just got you jacked up and ready to play. I haven't played Midnight Club enough to get a good feel for the series.

[BloodWar]

OMFG its a low grade vid but here it is
A 25 minute video of Killzone 2 with developer comentary
http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2007/08/25/25-minutes-of-killzone-2-to-satisfy-your-curiosity/

lean and peep looks cool and game has some nice physics and although vid is low quality u can still tell it looks awesome.

Edit:
Home delayed! by 5 days October 10th is its new release date
Folklore demo is cool
Timeshift live gameplay looks crazy!

[BloodWar]

lol yeah i did mention that before i told ya didnt I? lol Home is what they gonna build psn around and besides if u have a multiplayer game with no online u can play online with friends via home. How is that not a cool feature? I think home is a brilliant and anyone who doesnt think its at least a good idea doesnt own a ps3 lol.

[shivadee]

Home is free. So its designed to build the network for anyone online with a PS3.
The most interesting feature about it is that it has something no other online console community has "group efffort to achieve goals"
LIVE is primarily about competition online. with Home you can actually see the entire community in game and randomly go up to people and speak to them, make friends or whatever, formup groups or clans and meetup in areas.
You can also go straight into an online game with that group with Home.....so its got some pretty interesting features.
The blue tooth communication is also something im lookin forward to.

My biggest problem with SOny is that they are advertising their software and hardware POORLY...i dont like their method atall...it doesnt have the ability to pull your attention like it should. Its too casual, to "nice".

San Diego Sony, where im heading to, is actually the people designing Home....hoping all goes well when i go over there. After comming out of a year of hard....HARD...HARDCORE world of warcraft i pretty much understand how an online community will work, the rewards of group efforts as well as what makes an online community interesting in the first place. (looks like my WoW research paid off )

I dunno wth bloodwar talking about though. Unless you are on Home Beta like i am i dont see how you know much more than anyone else about it other than videos and what is written so not owning a PS3 cannot justify weather or not this thing is worthwhile. The online community interface currently in PS3 online is useless right now.

[TheApprentice]

^well home looks amazing...

And well I darn interested in having it...

[BloodWar]

I dunno wth bloodwar talking about though. Unless you are on Home Beta like i am i dont see how you know much more than anyone else about it other than videos and what is written so not owning a PS3 cannot justify weather or not this thing is worthwhile.

What im saying is people who dont own a ps3 or are huge xbox fanboys are usually the ones saying Home is nonesense it cant do anything it just a usless program. They are not judgin the programs capabilities rather the system its on.

[Arcmanov]

...and so what?  Everyone is entitled to their opinion.  Must you see everything through 'PS3 lenses'?
You mention 'huge xbox fanboys', but it seems that you cannot accept something for what it is.  We all want the products
we support to perform well, but sometimes this just isn't the case.  I want a PS3 regardless of whether Home succeeds or not.

It remains to be seen whether Home will be this great utopia you seem to think it will be.

[BloodWar]

hey i never said its going to be all awesome and great i mean i think it will but u cant basically say it is gonna suck just because its on ps3. Its obvious when people state the program has no function or is a waste of time they just saying that because they dont have a ps3 and they dont want it to succeed. Its a big difference between saying that and saying "i dont think this program will be anything worthwhile and its just not lookin that amazing." anyway i guess u dont understand what i mean so whatever lol i dont think ps3 needs home because its 2008 line up is much better than the 360 in my opinion although i would like to get bioshock and mass effect.

Oh on a side note anyone see the trailers for Army of two? that game looks completely amazing its gameplay looks like something i can really enjoy and the story looks very hilarious lol. Also I watched some Need For Speed Prostreet vidz i really hope this game is as good as it looks cuz it looks amazing. Racing on the autobahn looks like fun .

[shivadee]

ps3 needs home.....they have virtually no online interface. If you call that an interface for online play....i HIGHLY suggest you see how LIVE looks and look at what it offers in comparison.
PS3 and 360 are at each others throat...and in order to try to sell the most units each console must excell on all fronts...ALL...that includes online play and interface. End of story.

i always tell you Bloodwar....."fanboyism" is a 3 year old thing. Leave it with the uneducated teenage idiots that are going to flood the floors of E for All in October.The only people that really are fanboys are the ones who cannot afford all the consoles and justify that theirs is the best...whatever it is. On the other hand seeing no reason to buy a particular console because of your taste is a different story.

Army of Two? are you JOKING? the same project manager that says Gears of War had nothing to offer and its a silly game?.....the game is THE MOST played game on LIVE.....it toppled HALO 2. I want to see MC Army of Two even MAKE IT to LIVE charts. How BORING is it going to get after you shoot your team mate for the 100th time and he says "i will drop you right here?"....dont tell me you get kicks that easily? For the most it looks interesting.....i dont see anything in it waranting a buy just yet.

PS got my Corruption today *with nothing to play it on*
