"You simply have to trust the developers to know how to do their job, rather than looking for the gaming to arise purely out of additional cities."

I don't think so.
I don't really care to have 100 tracks in London, i would prefer to get a couple of tracks in several cities instead, and i know i aint alone.
I have to trust the developers to know how to do their job?
Well, let me wait and see, anyway it is all about Marketing, few cities in a PGR, then next time we can bring new cities in PGR 4, the cities people was expecting for PGR 3...
At least, if they really do want to make monney, i do hope they will realease additional disks with other cities.
If PGR4 provides less than 6 cities, I will wait a potential add-on with additional cities to buy the game, and then even if i have to pay extra monney, but i do want a full entertaining game, and i do want to travel at the wheel of a Ferrari in many cities. Travelling is part of the dream as driving an expensive car, then if you can match both, it's the perfect recipy.
I can insure you i am not the only one to think that way.

Don't forget that you can do custom tracks, and that couldn't be possible if Bizarre works in losts of cities. Also, the confirmed cities with the new level of detail could be another game experience.

@snapcake

your post that you cant see is there its just 'invisible' 'cause its in the wrong colour!

edit you post and change the colour of your text to white!!

happens sometimes!! :-)

 

some Sun drenched Med cities/towns, making use of all the new lighting effects etc The southern spanish coast road is unreal for speed how about one long trip "Barcelona-Malaga-Marbella-Tarifa..etc"  170 being the slowest speed!!

(That road's known as "The Road of Death" its got some mad drivers doing insane speeds, and around the Marbella/porto banus area ("The Golden mile") has 1 of , if not the most High end sports cars of anywhere in europe) , but my number One choice would have to be....

Dublin--Republic of Ireland..

Would be an amazing city to bring to PGR3+

The amount of twisting winding streets,with long fast straights would be perfect for

a driving challenge, and hey Bizarre you guys are just across the water, come for some R'n'R at the same time with your digital camera's and you'll know what im talking about, ill drive you around in a bently Gt continental at 4-5am and show you some amazing routes!

i know your cities are all done and dusted from a decision point of view early in your developement cycle but perhaps for future reference!!

best of luck and cant wait to play and experience for real what you guys have worked so hard on..

as we say in Ireland..  "More power to You..." (apt for PGR3 dont u think!!)

(i posted the above in the "what cities would u like to see.." thread seems to be a couple of threads on the same issue!)

lol. You're funny.

The smallest city we are getting is Las Vegas (barring the 'ring) and that's not a small city at all. Part of travelling the world to other cities is to see the whole city you go to. In PGR2, we barely got a glimpse of each city and all they have to offer! I personally was very disappointed in how they handled Chicago's overall size in PGR2. They only took the Near North Side and didn't bring into play the best parts of it! The farthest south they went was Randolph, which is about the 200 N area. I know when I travel, I like to see the whole thing. If I were to go to New York, why would I want to only see Manhattan when I can see everything else also?. Why would I go to Tokyo to only see the Tokyo Tower? Why would I go to London to only see Trafalgar Square? If they incorporated Las Vegas into PGR2, it would have been no larger than the area covered in Barcelona, and we all know it would be The Strip and the two streets parallel to the west and east of it. Why would I want to see that when there is more to Vegas (it would be hilarious if they allowed us to travel up to the Extraterrestial Highway out there)? I would rather have four to five "full" cities than 8-10 "one-eighth" cities.

Boo Yea! Guess who sold the Whitman Place!?

cheers for the advice on the ghost post, anyon who wants to read it just highlight it as if you were gunna copy and paste, i enjoyed that, small things for small minds i guess

Guess that the "city planing" of PGR3 has been finished anyway but if there'd be a chance to get more cities, I'd like to see those:

i. Munich, Germany

ii. Berne, Suisse (donno why but I've been there like twice and definitely liked the city!)

iii. Houston, TX, United States of America

iv. Miami, FL, United States of America

v. Los Angeles, CA, United States of America

That's it for now...

id like all the maps from pgr2 my self. washington tracks were my favorite, along with syndney.

actual race tracks would be nice as well. it woulld compliment the burg well.

id also like to see more content earler in the games life than what happened with the booster packs with pgr2.

smaller downloads more often would be awsome.

I think that the Russian Place would be cool, but very hard to make up the graphics.

Gamertag - Teh Frugirnutin

Yeah, Russia was a fun city to race in on PGR2, but if Bizzare decides to add any new tracks, I hope they pick Sydney. That city is gorgeous and Bizzare could show off some nice water effects in the ocean. (The garages have water so they COULD do it)  :)

But, when you think about how much longer it takes to design a city in PGR3, I doubt any new tracks will EVER come out  :(

". . . We can already hear detractors claiming, "But GT4 has over 500 cars!" Yeah, GT4 will have over 500 cars and probably 400 of them will suck."

yea id like to see alot of thoses to.. and like the infeilds of some race tracks could be cool also.. or the race track them self like Infinion Cali.

if u ask me, i think we should be able to roam free about the city, with no tracks, kinda like free roam or cone challenge in PGR 1! I would enjoy just cruisin around vegas in a Gallardo, explorin all the different streets and all! That is the only element missing from this game in my opinion! I loved mifnight club, and I will love test drive unlimited because you can roma over 1,000 miles of Oahu! PGR 4 should definitely have full cities and you should be able to free roam!

personally, i like the idea of the open highway, the true point to point race, like from say los angles to vegas.  normally 4 hours or there abouts? but what about at 200miles per hour.  i like the idea of australia, the stuart highway is dead straight running north and south for nearly 3/4 of the continent.  drags would be nice, and the other tracks would give us the ability to compare the car we're driving to say an f1/irl/indy car or whatever might be racing there. 

First, they would need to pick cities with a good variety in its streets.  All the tracks in PGR2 had that.  A few from PGR1 were OK.  PGR3 is pretty much hit or miss.  Then they need to map a larger section of the city and give us the same tools the developers have to make our custom tracks.  I don't mean complex world building tools.  I mean those metal gaurd rails that they put in to block of the paths that aren't part of the track.  Just load the whole section of the city and let us put those gaurd rails where we want them instead of this lame way-point system and very, very, VERY lame glowing FREAKIN' TRANSPARENT barriers whose locations are hard to tell from a distance and can't be adjusted in any way shape or form.  Then we could create tracks just a detailed as them.  We could change the width of a corner (or straight) simply by moving the gaurd rails closer together.  Go back and examine some of the tracks in PGR2 up close to see what I mean.  Just think being able to make tracks in cities like Prague, Rio, Rome etc...  Think of being able to make tracks that a new player wouldn't be able to tell was custom made without paying attention in the lobby.  If we could put up real gaurd rails instead of thos glowy things and put them where we wanted instead of  being limited by that stupid *** waypoint system, then the variety of tracks would truly be infinite.  Also give us the opportunity download custom tracks after racing on them and then tinker with them and send the revised version to the original creator.  That would be sweet.

OK, I'll stop ranting now.

hmm tokyo mountain racing... sounds good. it would be like the nurburgring test track so thats in. freeway battles wouldnt be good because have u ever noticed how sensitive these cars get when u race someone online. one spin and ur done because of the high speeds. we gotta have some race tracks though thats what i truly agree on like laguna seca, ohhh ohh SPA would be real good, watkins glen and infineon do remind me of the f1 circuits at nurburgring. but one street track thats good would be at seattle bumps and part freeway in downtown. i been there and it got pgr3 necessities.
