yea its a great game franchise - the sensation of speed is incredible. I can't wait to play this on the 360.

 

Here are a few awesome comparison shots of real-life Tokyo and in-game shots of the same locations in PGR3:











The amount of detail Bizarre put into the backgrounds is amazing. You can almost truly mistake it for the real thing.

 

wow, that ^ is awesome!!

 

when I scrolled through em quick they all looked the same...

 

that is pretty impressive, but is there a free camera in PGR3?

I'd like to see some other comparison shots NOT provided by the makers of the game

 

Each of these shots were taken by fans of the game in Toyko. They were found on a forum known as Rei-Rom.. They were not taken by Bizarre (producers of PGR3).

There is a bug where you can get the camera to free roam in photo mode and can take pictures like this. The game looks this good in the free roam mode.

 

Overall, how do you rate this game? I am thinking about picking it up, but is the game worth it? Is it more fun to play than NFSMW?

 

I enjoyed it quite a lot. Have you ever played PGR1 or PGR2?

It has a mix of arcade and simulation racer feel. The graphics are outstanding, the online play is great and it has a nice selection of tracks.

There is a demo available to download if you want to try it out first. I'd say it is more of a pure racer than NFS, but both are very fun.

 

I have to say NFS:MW (and both Undergrounds) have better car control. Like, way better. PGR3 has VERY arcadey control but you try not to think about it because the graphics and sound are so good.

 

Very strange... I feel exactly the opposite. NFS:MW is a fun game but the thing I didn't like at all was the car control. It felt way too floaty for me, but I guess it all comes down to taste. PGR3 feels "right" to me, but I guess that could be the case because I've been playing it for such a long time.

 

both games have arcadey control. It's just a matter of, which feels more arcadey - and it looks like that has a lot to do with personal preference.

 

so, let me get this straight... those pictures at the top of this page are NOT real pictures?

 

You see how they are all repeated twice? Well one is a REAL picture, and the other is a picture IN THE GAME. its comparing how real the game looks in comparison to real life photos.

 

thanks, tells you how much I read....

Full Auto

Combine fully-automatic, weapon-equipped vehicles with highly detailed and interactive urban environments and you have Full Auto, the most destructive racing action ever experienced in a video game. Produced exclusively for the Xbox 360, this racer allows players to choose from a wide selection of unique vehicle designs and arm them with any combination of machine guns, cannons, and other deadly weapons. The rules of the road don't apply in this high-octane, no-holds-barred competition. And once players have honed their skills against computer opponents, they can jump onto XboxTMLive and take on real players in both destruction-heavy lap courses and last-man standing arena matches.

In the near future, the city of Staunton is held hostage by a mysterious group known only as the Shepherds. As a retired driver, you are coerced by the Shepherds into a series of lethal street races, where the cost of competing is far greater than anyone ever expected. Employ the use of Unwreck, an ingenious new feature that allows players to rewind short periods of time. Botch a turn? Correct it. Miss a shortcut? Go back and take it. Under heavy fire? Use a second chance to evade the competition. Unwreck makes mid-race "restarts" a thing of the past.

Packed with more than ten play modes, including a 60-event career, Full Auto offers a degree of variety that surpasses even the most celebrated racing games of the current generation. Extensive multiplayer support via split-screen and online play ensures gamers will be burning (quite literally) the midnight oil with friends. Full Auto is destined to raise the bar for action-racing games.

Features:

* The most destructible environments of any game to date.
* Unique Unwreck feature gives players the ability to control time, rectifying fatal errors, missed opportunities, and bad aim.
* Gameplay modes include a 60-event Career Mode, Pursuit, Arena, Tag, and Rampage. A host of mini-games add to the collection.
* Collision, Jump and Death cameras magnify key moments. One-touch replays and customizable highlight reels amplify the awesome presentation.

SEGA of America has today announced that Full Auto will now ship to stores on February 14, 2006

 

for some reason, i'm seeing a bunch of red x's - are they in 720p???

 

blasting bastards....

stay tuned...

 

Ahhh so what do you guys think? Gost Recon: Advanced Warfigter or Battle Field 2?

I know, dont tell me that BF:2 is nothing like the PC, i never played the pc so i dont know what i am missing. But its for my 360..


HELP ME DECIDE!!!

 

I am gonna buy both. I think BF2MC will be a better online game, but GR will definitely be a better single player.

Graphics wise it should be very similar to the PC, just like CoD2 was.

 

I got my 360 off ebay and have to say it is awesome. The graphics are sick in HD! I got 4 games NBA 2K6, Call to Duty, Madden and Gun.

I am really impressed.

 

In case you hadn't heard, there's a demo of Full Auto (for X360) now available on Xbox Live...

battle field vids...

 

hey guys... how do I play my playlist (music) with... the games? I can't seem to figure it out...

 

Use the remote...hit the Xbox button and a side bar will come from the left.

make your selections there.

 

no wonder, I didn't even think of it... in fact, the remote's still plastic wrapped...

thanks

 

No worries...I figured it out by accident

 

...I was thinking it'd be in the instructions book... I pulled it out of the box thinking "...cool, it's kinda thick, I'll find it in here..." turned out, it was vague, but in 10 different languages.

 

IS300 and Sarlacc. You guys play call of duty ONLINE right? What are your gamertags, so i can add you to friends list.. So we can play..


Ohh, damn , both of you in California,, hmm 3 hour difference. What times you guys get on? I am in Eastern time.. so I am on like at nites after 8pm.. you guys are probably getting off work at that time. Well let me know anyways.

 

how many 360 owners do we have on here? is it even available for the rest of us suckas yet?

 

I got one

 

I haven't started playing Live yet... I was going to start a couple weeks ago, but my modem died on me... but didn't figure out the problem til this past saturday. Cox Cable's sending me a new one either today or tomorrow.
FYI, I've been using my cell phone to post...

I don't even know what a "gamertag" is... but when I get one I'll let you know.

 

Gunnme, I play COD2 online. Gamertag is JoganJani. Send me invite and i'll accept. I'm in CA though so I play usually in the evenings. Late night your time I guess.

 

1) You can play old games online on 360. You've to download the patch. Once you select Live from game menu, it'll download on its own.

2) You do not need mem module to save if you have HDD.
