Chances of seeing a Bizarre PGR-like game on PS3?

[ichigo kurosaki]

Hey

I was looking at some PGR4 pics and damn, it looks really great, better than GT5's IMO (graphics aren't limited to cars, you know), but that's not the point of the thread. I was wondering what you think are the chances of seeing a PGR-like game on PS3 (not PGR, since Microsoft owns the rights, but maybe a Metropolis Street Racer 2). I love the gameplay/style of the series but I don't own a 360 so it'd be great to see something like it on PS3.

 

[Defuser]

GT5 isn't out yet.

 

[DenogginizerOS]

Check out The Club. I know it is not a racing game, but it is a product of Bizarre Creations and has a lot of the elements that make the PGR games addictive.

 

[DarienA]

Awesome intro to your question.

4 stars, a must-see!

 

[ichigo kurosaki]

GT5 isn't out yet.

I know, but I was so disappointed when I saw the London track in Prologue... I mean it looks good, especially the lightning but why the hell are all the buildings so flat? IMO that killed the experience a little. But that aside, I'm not a fan of GT's gameplay so it's not just about the graphics for me.

Hey


(So you could always try Ridge Racer!)

 

[gofreak]

They're working on a new racing franchise for Activision, IIRC, which should be released on PS3.

I stopped reading right there.

PGR4 DOES look better than GT5....at least so far.

No it does not. I mean really people.

 

[Alphahawk]

Not to derail this thread but do you think Wii Sports will come out for a system other than Wii?

 

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

No it does not. I mean really people.

Thanks for correcting my eyes. Appreciate that.


PGR4 is really fucking impressive. Try driving the New York track during a heavy storm and be ready to set your face to stun. It really does look better than GT5's current form.

Bizarre got bought by Activision ; it's more than likely that they'll reproduce the feeling of PGR in another racing game.

However, I don't think the PGR franchise will continue, I'm afraid. Poor marketing (which is understandable if we look at the holiday season) from Microsoft and the lack of the original developer probably means it is dead for good.

But we might see another MSR or something like that.

 

[herod]

lol

insane

 

[Diablohead]

No it does not. I mean really people.

(graphics aren't limited to cars, you know)

Seriously, pgr4 does look pretty amazing.

 

[RavenFox]

I will never diss PGR4 graphics but I cannot say its a MUCH better looking game than GT5. Anyway for arguments sake its just our own personal love I guess. I meant no disrespect.

 

[Metalmurphy]

(graphics aren't limited to cars, you know)

They're not limited to tracks either.

GT5 car detail >>>> PGR4 car detail
GT5 track detail << PGR4 track detail


As for the OP, I hope we see one, RR isn't really my cup of tea and another arcade racer would be sweet.

 

[Littleberu]

This thread quickly turned into another graphics debate. Great job.

 

[C4Lukins]

I am sure their next racing game will be multiplatform. It will not be called PGR, but I would guess it will be quite similar to their previous racing games.

 

[Xirj]

Of course it looks better in stills, it's 30fps with motion blur and shit ton effects. It's got a very vivid and polished arcadey look to it. GT5 meanwhile is 60 fps so has to work twice as hard.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

Isn't their new multi-platform racer in the latest/or next issue of EDGE?

I hope Activision have snapped up the F1 rights.

 

[Dark Octave]

PGR4 does not look better than GT5, Prologue, or whatever you wanna call it. Not even close. Playing the actual game and looking at a few pics on the internet are a world of difference.

 

[StarEye]

I'd love a Metropolis Street Racer 2. For some reason, PGR didn't feel as good as MSR.

 

[tehbear]

Graphics preference aside, we need more PGRs. PS3 or otherwise.

 

[Diablohead]

They're not limited to tracks either.

GT5 car detail >>>> PGR4 car detail
GT5 track detail << PGR4 track detail


As for the OP, I hope we see one, RR isn't really my cup of tea and another arcade racer would be sweet.

I never said it was limited to just the track, just that one or two people just laughed.

60fps@1080p

 

[twinturbo2]

I hope Activision have snapped up the F1 rights.

I thought EA signed a deal with Louis Hamilton, suggesting that they're going to get the F1 license back...

 

[Ghost]

I'd say Activision will almost certainly have them competiting with NFS & Midnight Club before too long. Could work out quite well for them too because a PGR type game could stand out in that croud. Dont think MS ever did right by PGR marketing wise.

 

[dzukela]

60fps@1080p

1080p ??? lol

pgr4 1280*720 = 921600 pixels
gt5 960*1080 = 1036800 pixels

only 12% more pixels

 

[Core407]

On a serious note, I'd love to see a PGR-like title hit PS3.

 

[Metalmurphy]

1080p ??? lol

pgr4 1280*720 = 921600 pixels
gt5 960*1080 = 1036800 pixels

Twice the framerate.

 

[RavenFox]

This thread quickly turned into another graphics debate. Great job.

Did you read the OP post? He was the first to start that fire.

 

[dzukela]

Twice the framerate.

yes. but 720+p

PGR4 does look better indeed.

 

[Metalmurphy]

yes. but 720+p

PGR4 does look better indeed.

Indeed it does

Spoiler

not.

 

[solid2snake]

wait for Metropolis Project Racing by Activision for PS3, 360, Wii, PS2, DS, PSP, PC, GBC, GBA, Mobiles, DC, PSone and the Matrix.

 

[asclepio_gtr]

1080p ??? lol

pgr4 1280*720 = 921600 pixels
gt5 960*1080 = 1036800 pixels

only 12% more pixels

Are you sure about that?

 

[Truespeed]

60fps@1080p

Yes, real HD resolutions.

 

[dzukela]

Indeed it does

Spoiler

not.

PGR is king

Are you sure about that?

GT5 native resolution is NOT 1080p. sorry.

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

Oh deary me.... lesson to OP, never mention Gran Turismo graphics unless you intend to state they are the greatest things ever seen by man or beast. Threads go to shit if you dare suggest otherwise.


Anyway, seeing as Bizarre are now part of the Activision stable chances are you will be seeing a Bizarre PS3 racer in the future, although MS do own the IP rights to Project Gotham Racing so it'll be a whole new franchise that Bizarre will be working on.

I'd LOVE to see Bizarre being given the Formula 1 rights, although I think they will carry on with their own 'High-Score-Attack' racer.

 

[SolidSnakex]

GT5 native resolution is NOT 1080p. sorry.

It's also not that strange resolution you posted.

Joke post?


Why set your thread up for failure.

P.S. RIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDGGGE RRRRRRRRRAAAAAACCCCCCCEEEEERRRR!!!!!!!!

 

[The Crimson Kid]

PGR4 does not look better than GT5, Prologue, or whatever you wanna call it. Not even close. Playing the actual game and looking at a few pics on the internet are a world of difference.

After playing both games in 1080p on a professionally calibrated Bravia XBR3, I would say that PGR4 looks better. GT5 has much better cars, but PGR4 trumps it in every other category.

And don't give me that "bubububut GT5 is doing more work cuz 60fps" crap. Yes, it is, but that doesn't make the game look much better. The motion blur in PGR4 does such a good job that I can hardly notice the difference between the two.

And to answer the OP's question, I'm pretty sure Activison bought Bizzare to work on a racing game of some sort. I don't know if it will be similar to PGR, but it's a pretty safe bet that they are working on something involving cars.

 

[asclepio_gtr]

It's also not that strange resolution you posted.

Yeah... Last time I checked is something like 1280x1080...

But I might be wrong.

Oh... And to me, GT5P is the best looking game on consoles. But I do respect who thinks otherwise. Even the ones with a very well-known agenda.

 

[dzukela]

It's also not that strange resolution you posted.

gt5 - 50% of horizontal 1080p resolution (100% vertical)
1920 / 2= 960

 

[My6cats]

I'd love a Metropolis Street Racer 2. For some reason, PGR didn't feel as good as MSR.

Just to let you know Sega owns Metropolis Street Racer IP not bizarre. Bizarre just made the game for sage just like they did with PGR for MS. on the box of Metropolis Street Racer it said "Metropolis Street Racer are a registered trademarks or trademarks of Sega Enterprises, LTD. So I don’t see a new Metropolis Street Racer happening.

 

[sprocket]

They are working on a racer and it will be multiplatform. It wont be title PGR MS seems to own that name. But it will porbably be very very similar.

 

[McBacon]

PGR is super fun, I sure hope it comes to PS3-only owners.

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

gt5 - 50% of horizontal 1080p resolution (100% vertical)
1920 / 2= 960

GT5P is 1280x1080 2XAA

At 1280x720 its 4XAA

 

[My6cats]

PGR is super fun, I sure hope it comes to PS3-only owners.

I don't see PGR coming but a game like PGR...yes I see that coming.

Bullsh!t detected.

Everyone can notice a 30fps game from a mile away. That's why Halo 3 looks so meh after CoD4 - no matter how much motion blur it has in it.
