Proyect Gotham Racing 3

[bmagni]

So the Xbox 360 is coming out in 3 months and PGR3 is already under development, though its not a realistic game, it for sure has one of the highest fun factor. The images look awesome and what is better new manufacturers coming - Lamborghini and McLaren !!- so i guess this is really good news.
The demo, according to IGN, was only using 60% of the 360's capabilities, so we can start guessing how te final product will look like.
Release date: Holiday 2005 !!!!!

So if MS already got the Lambo and Macca licenses can we expect this cars for Forza 2 ?!?!?! I hope so !!!

"Test Drive Unlimited" for 360 is even better -

It looks good, but they have to work on more "real" looking lightining, it just doesnt look real, high details, but too glossy and shiny.

[styla21]

Looks insane! :shock: Bigger line-up of cars, graphics that are lifelike; it should be good! Just gotta go buy a 360 now.. :fadein:

[bmagni]

yeah the gloss finish is exagerated, but listen to this, they use 40,000 polygons for the outside of the car and 40,000 for the inside, so that means nice looks for the inside, and more inside views for the replays

[SFDMALEX]

Holy SHIT!

Who ever designs these cars is pathetic to have so many polys going sorry.

A good desginer can make a much better model with half the polys.

Anyone can make a a mega poly model, it takes skill to make one that looks like a 40 000 poly whilst its only 15 000.

that would be PGR3

global hemisphere changed the pics, they used to be of PGR3.

Instead of using the extra CPU power for better AI they are sticking eye candy on the game... how sad...

This XBox 360 better support current USB FF Wheels.

[T-Bird]

well RC it depends on which one you get from rumors I heard there will be 2 different 360's one that is alot cheaper that is not backwords compatable and the more expensive version which is. but like I said those are rumors.

Idiots man, idiots.

The thing is that they can keep this same eye candy by developing lower poly car models leaving enough CPU to process all the other important stuff.

well if they say theyre using just 60% of it, then we can expect that...

[exhausted mules]

what's the point of spending processing power on AI when the biggest attraction to these games are physics/graphics and online gameplay?

sure... ai is good. but that's not what ppl are buying games for.
