Forza 3 would be nice. Maybe a new Project Gotham?

I loved Dirt and Grid, absolutely awesome games.

I got bored with Forza 2 but would really like some Project Gotham 5! Perhaps another Test Drive Unlimited game.

The problem for Turn 10 is that they have to develop both series now, and they were already struggling just with Forza on their books. If PGR was added, I'm not sure what the timetable would be.

The same people that did Dirt and Grid also did Forza?

No, Turn 10 is part of MGS.

Grid and Dirt were from Codemasters.

My only gripe with Grid was that you couldn't tune cars. Also the seasons ended fairly quickly and without warning.

I love PGR games because it challenges you to push your cars to the limit.

I hate that motorcycles are being incorporated into games more. I don't want motorcycles in my car games. But that's just me.

I never spent a lot of time tuning cars in even gran turismo or forza. If I had a car that I kept losing with and it was the best car for the job then I would tune it otherwise I wouldn't touch it. What I liked about grid was the catastrophic events of hitting another car or a wall. It made you drive carefully which after playing so much gran turismo, if there is a wall I usually bounce off of it and keep going.

Whats this about dead rising 2?

Is there a definite 'master list' of all games coming out or propsed for '09? I'd love to see it, despite knowing it will change quite a bit before the end of theyear.

That's kind of also what I HATED about Grid. The AI was programmed to beat you by slamming you into a wall. And the AI had memory. If you rubbed one driver the wrong way they might gun for you. But then again it's liek that in a lot of games.

In Forza it was a bit better because there were monetary reprecussions for driving recklessly and hitting others. But in real races people rub but don't outright hit eachother. I want to see that incorporated a bit better.

I'm going off of IGN's release date list for the better part of the Q1/Q2. They have many more games listed but none with definitive dates.

Someone needs to tell me who's *** to kiss to get Idolm@ster to come to the US.

Yeah, I learned to avoid traffic while entering a corner. I was sure to plow in to the wall thanks to an AI car.

With Forza I got so bored with the tracks that I simply hired a driver and pocketed the money enough so that I could get all of the achievements.

I'm wanting to play another good racing game. I've been devoting all of my time to GH:WT lately. This one seems easier than past versions as I sailed right through hard on the lead guitar. I really didn't have trouble with any songs. I'm doing the bass career on expert now and am half way done. So far no issues there either. On GH III I couldn't finish the hard career so I'm not sure why they made it easier.

The same reason PoP is so easy in their new version. Mass appeal.

What is PoP? Prince of Persia?

I thought the guitar hero series had mass appeal before even world tour but you're probably right. It did seem to get dumbed down for this version.

Yeah, Prince of Persia. The game where you can't die. I'm more interested in the release date of DJ Hero but I have my qualms with DJ Tiesto being chosen for it. I want a turntablism game not a trance game.

I've heard something of a DJ game but didn't look into it any. I haven't played any of the prince games, I suppose I should check it out.

anyone here with fallout? i have an issue that seems to happen early when i start a new game. i get disk read errors. even when the console and the game was new. the only thing that seems to work is to detach the hard drive. this also happened before and after i downloaded the game on the drive. with the hard drive detached, it never happens. also happened with oblivion. only two games that do this and theyre from bethesda. anyone else?

edit: resident evil 5 demo exclusive to 360. release at end of the month

I don't know if it would help, but did you already try deleting your 360 cache?

yeah ive tried all those tricks. with the main cache on the memory units and the game cache (holding the 'a' button while game loads). still happens with both games. i think its wierd that people have different issues with the same hardware/software. mine is at least "fixable" by not using the hard drive but man, the disc drive just keeps going and going and going.....

[biloutkast]

UFC 09 looks good, at least the trailers do.
I've been wanting a 360 for awhile. Now that I read it has a
Jasper chipset, I will probably buy one in a couple of months
