Score another reason not to bother buying a new PS2 after getting rid of my other.

So glad Forza is coming out...

I reckon an online version will never see the light of day. Either buy this version or keep your money in your pocket.

Disappointing after all the usual hype.

Don't hold your breath for Forza - in a recent interview they were claiming only 20 frames per second....not good at all.

GTR on the PC looks good though....

Really bad news. There are other driving games though to meet your online fix.

Jeez, I can see Xbox owners just laughing at this one. If this online GT4 doesn't turn up there's gonna be a lot of pissed off fans out there.

Is this really such a big deal?

As things stand today, the number of people that buy a game to play online is tiny compared to those who only play it offline.

If you were waiting for GT4 online, it's a bummer. But as a tactical decision, I think development time is better spent making the offline functions badder/bigger/better (boom?).
