I've just been checking out some of the previews of Project Gotham Racing 2 for the Xbox. I must say, I'm pretty impressed.
It looks like this thing is going to be a real blast online.

Anyone here going to be buying this?
Project Gotham Racing 2 for Xbox!
I haven't even played the first Project Gotham game. Everyone told me it sucked and I should't bother. But I'm still curious if I'd like it. I'm waiting for Need For Speed Underground right now though. It's supposed to have an s13 in it!! And it comes out this month.Also, A game I really liked was NFS Hot Pursuit. Good dynamics.
I'm almost 100% that PGR2 will feature head to head racing online (not sure how many racers) AND a mode where you can race "ghosts" of people who are on the leader boards for the game. That's actually another cool thing...when you log on, the game automatically checks the "standings".stutt944 wrote:i bought the first one, but still never played it more than about 25 minutes at a time. i am contemplating XBOX Live...everyone that has it loves it. i'm finished with Ghost Recon Island Thunder, and I hear its killer on Live. Will PGR2 be head to head online as well as up to 8 racers? hmmmm
As far as XBox Live goes, the only game I have for it so far is Mechassault. Mechassault by itself is a decent game, but it really takes on another dimension online. It's simple, fast paced and fun.
I haven't had one major complaint with Xbox live since I got it (been a few months). The voice communication is actually pretty cool, and I've experienced very little lag.
One caveat...you will probably have a much easier setup if you buy a router on the Xbox approved list. I've noticed that any router that has any firewall features will have problems with Xbox Live. For my SMC router, I have to give my Xbox a static IP and then set that up in a DMZ.
BTW, Sega GT Online is coming in late November or December and features...
"Over 165 cars, including 40 new racers since Sega GT 2002. Six incredible Modes: Sega GT 2002, Quick Battle, Chronicle Mode,
Time Attack, and Gathering Mode, and Online Mode.
New tracks, weather effects, and special time-triggered events.
Newly enhanced for Xbox Live with real-time voice chat, online racing, downloadable content, and trading.
Licensed and customizable soundtrack featuring songs from more than 40 alternative indie, garage, punk, ska, and rock bands.
View music video clips in the Garage Tunes Gallery."
This one will allow up to 12 (!) racers at a time. The downloadable content sounds cool too (hopefully new cars AND tracks).

Do you mean PGR? I do agree that PGR is more over the top than other Xbox racers. As far as realism goes (as much as can be expected in a game), I prefer Sega GT. PGR still looks like it will be a ton of fun in online mode.95ka24de wrote:i didnt really like the first one i dont know its not real racing u know..
SegaGT rocked, and it still rocks.. PGR was alright, the demo didn't impress me much, so I never played the real game.
I was thinking it would be cool to have a drifting video game... make it kinda like PGR with their kudos style points... and earn money after each event for more cars, parts, decals... That would be a really cool game IMO.
