Project Gotham Racing 3

yea,thats what i said.Offer matchmaking for people who want a quick fix but still have the option of optimatch.

[Matt KB]

Aren't all 360 games supposed to offer Matchmaking as well as Creating a Room/optimatch now anyway as part of their "True Skill" thing?

[Akira]

Well,they should do IMO,but so far that does'nt look like the case with the launch titles.I heard PDZ's lobby system is pretty bare bones.

To answer your previous question Matt.I believe the online ranking has moved away from judging your skill based on the amount of kudo's you have ala PGR2.But i've forgotten how it's done now.I read it in a review somewhere.

Have a dig around gamerankings reviews,if ya can be arsed that is

[Matt KB]

Yeah I've had a look at all the reviews, but each one differs very slightly in their explanations, you really need a proper human to tell you about it I wasn't sure if the new rankings are overt or covert as some reviews indicate.

What about the online rankings? Have they changed from Kudos based to ability based as opposed to time spent playing it.

From what i played, when you play the singleplayer career mode with the console connected on live, besides having some info always passing at the botton of the screen like player x did this record (like a news TV thing), every time you complete a race it shows the leaderboard for it based in Kudos. But it's like, how many kudos the person got on that particular race, and also the medal/dificulty the person played on. It's like a hi-score thing, like we see on shooters etc i guess. Trying to make the best kudos score on every race competing with everyone one in the world can be really addicting.

Not sure if that's what you asked, hope it helps.^^

Anyone who says the graphics aren't that great deserves to be shot in the face.

DCharlie took these in the photo mode...

Well cool shots... But how did they get them onto PC since apparently you cant..?

[PeteJ]

Camera!

[Matt KB]

That's retarted, having a powerful feature like the Photo Mode, having USB ports on the machine (3!!!!) and yet you can only view them in game. Sod that.

[PeteJ]

There will be an update to sort that in the near future, from what I've read.

[Matt KB]

There better be! Bit pointless otherwise, waste of dev time.

There's just one thing I want to know.

Does this still look impressive-ish on a standard definition TV? I've been slightly disheartened by what people have said so far, saying that it looks exactly the same as PGR2.

Too poor to afford an HDTV for the time being, so hit me with it. How is it?

It will NOT look the same as PGR2 on a standard TV, of course it will look better, but to get the most out of what the game and other games are capable of you will need HD output.

I am going to make do with my 32" widescreen for now and I know it is still going to look the ****en nuts!!

[Rossco]

Of course it'll look amazing. Before I got my HDTV, I had videos of PDZ, PGR3 etc running through XBMC onto my 28" CRT and my god it still looked amazing!
