Why don't more people mention this beautiful title? It's from 2007 and still looks fantastic, especially with the weather effects and all that jazz.

I wish i could get a 56in hdtv. I had to settle for 37in in my apt. Anyways, the game looks good, but is actually really boring. Crysis was the same for me. Looks good, but couldnt get any actual fun out of it.

If it was a sim, it'd be unimpressive. For being an arcade racer, however, it looks great.

What he said. Even if PGR4 has been surpassed by a couple games (which is to be expected, as he said) that doesn't change the fact that the game is still impressive to this day. Maybe not to some but overall, PGR4 is still amazing.

Same can be said about GT games but that is all the PS3 fans show. That is unless you consider 2D cardboard backrounds impressive.

Well Turn 10 picked it up, according to rumors. So I have some hope.

But Blur (Bizarre Creations new game) looks like garbage.

Yes, Blur looks like junk. :( What happened, Bizarre?

They should've stayed with MS. The Club was ok, but not as good in quality as a PGR title. Blur looks the same.

They got bought by Activision, that's what happened, wow we'll have a Blur every year.

I still need to play The Club, the demo was OK but not great, and I just played the demo for PGR and really liked it, so I'll be picking that up soon alongside Crackdown.

My brother had it, but I hated it for some reason.

Just replayed the demo because Crackdown 2 got announced, and it was better then I remembered.

It actually looks better while playing than with photomode lol. Photomode tries to make all edges smooth and in the end pictures are less sharp than real game. Even the street texture/buildings looks less detailed on pics than while playing cayse its a bit blured:) Even is gamplay has some jaggies in the ned look more detailed than photos.

Perhaps it's because it doesn't look that good when playing it.

Sure, it looks great, but not better than others (particularly in the later races when they hide everything behind a thick fog).

While I love PGR4, I have to slightly disagree with TC. I think the graphics are very good especially in-car when its raining. But the single aspect that puts me off this game's graphics is the aliasing. Its pretty bad and spoils the water-drop type effects of the cars when wet. If this game had just 4x AA it would be a very good contender. But I really do love the game overall as a good arcade racer.

Poor choice of screens. It almost looks like they're running in 480i or something. I can pick out screens just like that for GT5: P.

The screens magik posted are more of what it looks like in HD...

But it actually looks better than this on my set.
