You need to right-click the green coloured link and paste it in an new window.
Then paste this bit: {B7518A82-71BD-4161-B8ED-6BCB3747508D} behind it.

Is that website slow or what? The download is not even starting.

EDIT:
I'm still waiting, what's the point of having a "video blowout" if you can't download anything? They should learn something from Xboxyde, and considering gaminformer is considered "big", it's a shame really.

"You are driving in the wrong direction, please turn around"--LOL
LOL second video, there's a glitch when he buys the bike, the seller (a womam) is missing part of her body, lol--Seriously now, that needs to be fixed.

EDIT: WOW, that sense of speed from the bike is U-N-B-E-L-I-E-V-A-B-L-E, very pleased with that :D

You say we're getting there? Oh, fine.
Any minute now...

2006-05-03 00:46:13

When the bike hits the car it's like someone flicked the guy off his bike.. This game is kinda funny..

Will get hours of amusment out of it..

Ok i'm done with the vids, here are the PROS and CONS the way I see it:

PROS
*Graphics are definetely nice, although I would love better looking cars
*The island seems to be a huge place
*Got to love those straights
*The buying-a-car process is well done
*GPS looks like a nice idea and well implemented
*Instant replay (unlike PGR3, they are not so "instant" there)
*Bikes, I love them
*sense of speed (especially bikes) is very good
*customization of characters
*Show off of the car, for example when you buy it, the camera pans around to show off the car/bike, when you get to your home, opening the door, windows up and down,etc etc.
*Again, the sense of speed in that bike

CONS
*Is the island that empty in real life? If so, I wouldn't mind more traffic, or perhaps an option.
*The physics, especially for the car don't convince me yet (although this definetely needs to be played to tell completely)
*How many cars per race? Only 4? Hope not
*The sound is a little on the weak side, that Audi TT sounds a little too tough for such a commercial car, it doesn't sound like that in real life. And that screetching sound of the tires as the car accelerates is a NO NO
*Damage? I only saw an NPC car get damaged, but it was basic damage
*Why can't we see the guy when he falls off the bike?!?!?!
*PGR2 style deserted cities? Where's everybody? People live in their cars over there or what?

I DON'T KNOW
*Will this game have single player at all, how will that play out?

I am too poor to own a 360... therefor I play with paper statistics. The results of my indepth scientific anaylisis determined the most important benchmark is Pi. As in The Ring of Light.

Woops very sorry y'all i just copied the url and thought it be ok :(

Plumb can you change the first link to http://www.gameinformer.com/News/Story/200605/N06.... for me?

Thanx

2006-05-03 02:47:30

There won't be no damage to licensed cars like in GT. Forza had it because MS paid a fortune.

2006-05-03 03:40:20

Wow, seriously impressed with that compared to the last footage I saw.

The in-car and in-helmet views were very nice indeed and conveyed the sense of speed and danger you want from a game like this!

2006-05-03 03:41:09

And according to one dev on the official boards, cops are in!
