Forza Motorsport 4 (Xbox 360): Forza 4 E3 trailer featuring Kanye West is all in-game footage
Yep, 'in game' and 'gameplay' footage are two completely different things... Lets see some gameplay running them we can go 'ooooo' and 'aaaaaaa' Still can't wait for F4 though, GT5 was quite a let down really.

DiRT 3 (PS3): DiRT 3: Super Review
Hmm, I have mixed feelings about this game after playing for a month or so now... It's very very good, although I may be alone but I enjoyed and preferred the presentation of Dirt2, and thought the Raid races were brilliant fun, along with superior track selection... As a whole package Dirt2 was better imo.... Good to see the back of the crappy buggies though, and more rallying is great of course but the Gymkhana is absolute GASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1 year, 2 months ago Gran Turismo 5 review
I feared as much, PD seem to be living in the past. Things have moved on A LOT in the last 5 years of racing games, and they've been left behind.

The cars sound pathetic yet again, they can't seem to get that right. Even full on snarling racers are reduced to hedge-trimmers in GT games...

That GT3 vs GT5 video is a real eye-opener, and the Japanese really need serious help with their presentation / menu structure in games it's just awful.

Not good to read that it seems I've got an inferior version of the game too just because of the choice of console.

Thanks Codemasters you bunch of arseholes.

Nope.

No way is this a 9. I know there's a lot going on in terms of physics etc, but I expected more from the visuals it looks dull on the PS3, the cars are too strong, the steering is horribly sensitive using the control pad. I don't know if the 360 version is any better, but literally as soon as the stick detects a movement the drivers hands twist the wheel violently making it nearly impossible to be progressive with the steering in slow to medium corners.

So far too online races have been full of pricks ramming, pushing etc....

Lets face it too, F1 engines are not nice to listen too, they sound like giant drills. So far have found this incredibly frustrating.

Fun for a few minutes....

Great music though.

Good, the first one was a little dull tbh, and as I'm not a total recluse learning the level creator wasn't on the cards....
1 year, 6 months ago Why Gran Turismo 5 is NOT a revelation
I work in the AV industry, and like most people I know couldn't give a flying f*ck about 3d.

I just want a decent driving game with excellent visuals / audio / physics. The whole 3d thing is a gimmicky load of shite, despite what marketing is shoved down our throats to the contrary. I'd rather the review hadn't focused on this quite frankly f*cking pointless aspect of what will be a great game. I agree about the crash physics though, it's a part of racing and always bugged me the way the cars handle so realistically until you have an incident, where it all goes a little wonky-donkey to say the least..... And the SOUND, what do the cars sound like, good bad?
