i cant vote because i can't choose between pgr and burnout...theyr both SO fun

#399573

I'm currently playing Burnout Revenge, that game is awesome!

#399574

Gran Turismo is AWESOME, because it's so much more real than any of the others. The addition of a huge range of real-life cars is another plus point. You just can't beat shooting past your opponent in a Ford GT LM, throwing on the handbreak and gliding that perfect corner.

I own Burnout and WipeOut for the PSP, and both are great for the sense of speed you get, as well as causing huge crashes. The weapons, track design and sense of style on WipeOut, or at least in WipeOut Pure, is excellent, and make up for a great part of the game.

Need for Speed only really became interesting at Most Wanted. All the others before that has been more about adding neons and rims, which was never the point of the series. Most Wanted created lots of tension with the police chases.

Looking back, I've only just realised how much I enjoy racing games. Thanks for this topic Cereal Mouse ;D

oh sure gt is real, but still you never get to enjoy the satisfaction of plowing into your opponents and viewing that great dent you left in them...nothing like passing through the line with a few battlescars [PGR]

ps burnout really proves how addictive speed can be...i can't put the controller down unless someone prises it off me...or unless i really had to go eat or something..

True, the lack of damage models in Gran Turismo has always seemed slightly strange to me. Hopefully they'll be adding it in Vision Gran Turismo; however, I won't be all that fussed if they leave it out for whatever reason. I don't crash that often anyway ;)

edit: Here we go.

Speaking at a recent Japanese event, Kazunori Yamauchi, president of Polyphony Digital, confirmed that he expects to see real-time damage in the new game, one of the major criticisms of the previous games.

Straight off Wikipedia

As a matter of fact Burnout and Gran Turismo are not comparable. The main goal or objective of Gran Turismo is to create a insanely realistic driving game that almost emulates the look and feel of driving a car. On the other hand Burnout is designed to "blow some steam" by driving at an insane speed or crashing in the middle of a huge trafic. Like I said I'm really enjoying Burnout Revenge at the moment, but whenever I feel like driving my black Ferrari on a Sunday mourning through the wonderfully designed streets of Europe, Gran Turismo is just what I need ;)

of course Gran Turismo is the best when it comes to driving simulation. I'm quite suprised not seeing any formula one game on the list...

#399592

With every new version of NFS, I get more n more into that game.

#399593

@duyvan82: Sorry about that ;)

#399599

Oh come on people, Burnout Revenge is the awesomest racing game out there!! Am I the only one who voted for it?

of course burnout and gt are comparable! burnout is totally about realism! everybody knows that if you near miss any car on the real roads you get extra nitrous! :P

btw try driving the black ferrari through florence in pgr2 or whatever the equivalent is in pgr3...i havent played it yet.

#399618

* Looked up Carmageddon in GameSpot

Cool it got an 8.8/10, on the other hand Carmageddon 3: TDR 2000 got a mediocre 5.5/10 :P

@Slewed: Haha, I also love the part where you actually earn money for just destroying cars on your way :P

#399621

I used to play NFS Most Wanted a long time ago and later bough Underground, I played PGR and loved it then played Midnight Club not so long ago and really enjoyed it. Can't say I have a favorite though since to me they all manage to pull off a exhilirating gaming experience.

#399630

what about Trackmania?? that's a great game to!!!

#399651

Yeah I had read a good review about it, never got to play it though. I really liked the idea of building your own tracks etc. though ;)

#399655

I edited the poll title to correct your spelling of "favourite," but for the heck of it, I spelled it the American way.

*waits for people to be confused :D*

P.S: Yes, this is my idea of a hilarious prank, why? :P

#399659

I'm sure I'd like GT4 if I had a PS2 as it seems to have more JDMs. On PC though, I like ToCa Race Driver 3 the most. It's got almost all modes you'd want minus drift. If it had drift and more JDMs, I'd be totally satisfied.

#399663

@NC: Yeah I saw that mistake earlier :P

You're one heck of prankster buddy :cool:

#399680

I LOVE NEED FOR SPEED!!! Especially Underground 2!!!

#399684

GT4 is an Awesome game.

Burnout is fun also as is Need for Speed.

But for me GT4 all the way.

Gran Turismo 4 is a good driving simulator, so there isn't much too excitement in it. However, Burnout Revenge is more of road rage and crashing and blowing up which is really unrealistic. So why don't they release a game called "Burnout Turismo 4"?:D
