Looks like it could be fun but I honestly have no interest. Not with GT5 so close.

Sweet! Probably will get it but not anytime soon thanks to Brotherhood and possibly Black Ops, plus I think Burnout Paradise will be good enough for now.

lol, I was looking for other Ryan Geddes reviews and I found this. Good God. :lol:

Anyway, I don't trust IGN reviewers in general, but this is a Criterion game so I doubt it's going to be mediocre. Looking forward to the Giant Bomb and Gamespot reviews.

I have been thinking 8.5-9 accross all platforms from gamespot. Considering Burnout paradise was a 9.0, blur was a 8.0 and split second was a 7.5... leaning to believe it will be right in there in the 8.5-9 range.

I didn't even know a new Hot Pursuit was being made. They were the only games I really liked in the NFS series, so I might just look into this one...

I am not a huge racing game fan, but I thought the demo was fun as hell. The element of being the chased or being the cops will make for quite an addictive experience. If I was not so swamped right now I would definitely pick it up, but it will be a buy down the road for sure.

Easy, he likes them better. I too enjoy arcade racers more than real time simulators. I too will probably pick this up down the line.

And lol at all the people hating on IGN

I agree, don't get me wrong I love the ability to play online, but when you have friends over and you have to Pass the controller, they get bored...fast. And a good majority of us actually hang out with friends still, and not just chat online with one another, pretty hard to have a video game night anymore.

But yeah, if it doesn't have Split-Screen, I'll just rent it.

i was hoping my bias against racing simulators vs arcade would be more emphasized, oh well.

forza 3 is boring as hell, and I highly doubt GT 5 would be any different.

Dirt 2 though, that gets my blood boiling.

Yh I love playing dirt 2 at max settings 1080p, it looks way better than gt5 and forza. I always found those two games rather dull, and the car sounds are terrible.. almost like vacuum cleaners. Can't wait for Dirt3 ;) Even Test Drive Unlimited on pc looks better than gt5, and it came out in 2006

I think you could understand why people are so excited for GT5 though, being a huge Halo Reach fan yourself. Think of it this way; Kinda like how Reach is one of the most content-packed FPS of all time, well GT5 is similarily one of the most content-packed racers of all time. Scratch that, I'm pretty sure it's THEE most content-packed racer of all time.

Nice :)

this surprises me after playing the demo. I think a 9.0 seems a bit high, which means it'll probably be an 8 or 8.5 here at GS. In the demo the controls of the cars I drove felt very sloppy, I was hoping it would feel a lot like Burnout but the cars in the demo just feel too heavy and unresponsive for an arcade racing game.

I bought the travesty known as Need for Speed Undercover a few days ago. Not sure if I ever want another NFS/EA/racing game ever.
