did PGR4 get enough credit for its graphics?

The thing about PGR 4 is, it didnt do enough to really seperate itself from the third one. THats why people dont like it as much. Also, I thought games like Motorstorm and The upcoming GT 5 look better.

Yeah, a little. I mean, the weather effects and stuff are great, but when it's dry, it looks empty. Environments around look impressive as usual.

I'm sure they put a lot of effort into those 2d bitmaps.

yeah it does look great, its the best looking racer out until gt 5 comes out. Gt 5 prologue is a demo u pay for so....seriosuly i tried it at my bro before buying the jpn version and wow...no customization, 2 tracks, and like no cars!!!1 and the enviroments sucked! but gt 5 will look better but its coming out later so i suspect it too.. atm pgr 4 is the kind of racing graphics then forza and once gt5 comes out it will barely win over pgr4.

and the horrible 2d crowd and 2d backgrounds...Good looking game but not the most technically demanding game.

PGR4 is better in the technical departement

PGR4 looks amazing, when you're playing that "hound and Hare" gametype online and you can drive through the whole city and you realise how huge it is it really makes GT5(p) with it's 2D trees and small tracks seem like rubbish.

It sounds like you were playing GT:HD not Prologue. Prologue has 16 player online, 37 cars and 5 tracks. And it's Forza that has the last gen environments, GT the environments are awesome. I love them. Even in GT:HD.

u play forza? it doesn't look better then gt 5 P but it sure does have better enviorments! the cars don't look great thanks to jagggies, but forza matches gt5 prologue, mainly due to the lack of cars, tracks etc....ps really 5 maps? i only played 2 at my bros and he said it was prologue, yes i do remember about 30 cars tho...hmmm i guess he just didn't select them for me...but yeah gt 5 is great and will be the best when released, but atm pgr 4 is da best. espcially in motion, WOW! forza can't touch pgr 4 and gt5p is trailing behind....tho forza's enviorments are better then gt5, i really like forza, ohh that fall track...um maple valley? or something like that, even in forza one that track looked great....but yeah forza has lots of good looking tracks, better then gt5 imo because gt5 has the 2d trees....grass....yes forza has 2d ppl, but too but....yeah it has 3d everything else...oh well.

With Forza I think the cars look good, but the environments were pretty bland. I don't know much about PG4, but I've always loved the PGR games. Gran Turismo and PGR are actually my two most favorite racing series even though they are totally different.
