Like you I will probably pick up an X1 very late on to play some exclusives. Not much really draws me to the console.

There will be stuff, Halo should be worth $20 end of life, even if there are 4 or 5 different Halo's. Forza's are pretty good, and I'm sure MS will get more exclusives which aren't also available on PC.

I like all the badges you can earn in Forza 4 that is one of the main reason I like it better then 3 it has so much more replay value to unlock all the badges will take forever.  The manufactures achievement was actually pretty easy to get took me a little over 30 hours to get using Peugeot's.  Plus on top of that Forza 4 has a better selection of cars then 3 and a better variety of diffent type of races.  The AI in Dead Rising 1 is pretty dumb but it got a lot better in the second game and in the 3rd game the survivors will actually help you out in the game.


Yea, but there is 1 achievement which requires you to get to lvl 50 with 1 manufacterer, so it kinda forces me to drive Ferrarri's all the time just because there is variety on every performance index.

I just hate upgrading cars, I hate how FM4 makes it mandatory in order to compete. Makes the game feel like an Arcade game instead of a sim.

What I really miss is Project Gotham Racing. I know that was an arcade game, but damn, it was ahead of its time. In car view in 2005, ice and hail which no other game has yet. Plus the selection of cars is great, I don't think GT or Forza have an Ariel Atom yet, but PGR had it in PGR4.

As for Dead Rising, sounds great, but before I get excited about 3, I want to beat 1 and 2 first. As it stands, I have too many games, DR3 isn't enough to get me excited about a new console. Actually very little makes me want a new console, PS3 is getting more new games then next gen consoles, so I'm not ready to jump ship just yet (Drakengard 3, GTAV, Tales of Xillia 2, New Atelier game, Disgaea D2, Dark Souls II, etc, etc).

Only next gen game to wow me, and push me to get a new console so far is X for Wii U, and when it releases I will get a WiiU.


Well for me the manufactures achievement wasn't a pain I actually enjoyed the 30 hours it took to gain it, mostly did it with the Peugeout 908 and Peugeout 207.  Its kind of a grind to get to level 25 but once you get there it gets easier since from that point it the amount of XP to get to the next level stays constant.  Having to upgrade the cars isn't too much of pain either especially since you only got to get your manufacturer to level 4 to get free parts.   Most races can be won without upgrading the cars if you play on a lower difficult level.  PGR4 is pretty good I like that it has cars and motorcyles on top of that it has a very good soundtrack the only racing game this gen that I thought had a better soundtrack was Forza Horizon.  At this point I doubt there will be another PGR game if Horizon would have bombed then maybe we would have seen another one but it did pretty good and I'm looking forward to Horizon 2 its a pretty good replacement for PGR I actually had more fun with Horizon then with PGR 4.
