Are there any Hi Res videos of this new in game stuff ?.

Surely they new there were guys recording this footage so why allow it to be of such crap quality !!.

Even so, it looks mindblowingly good. Just image this game on a 40" screen running at 720p. I must go and lie down !!!!!!!!!!!!!

CAS FAN · 01-10-2005, 9:04 PM

I must say that i've not pre-ordered anything else as there is simply no point! I will be glued to this game for months and if I bought anything else then it would just sit there gathering dust. The only reason that I will have to get another game is if this misses launch, but judging by how good and finished it looks now I doubt that it will.

Malone · 01-10-2005, 9:13 PM

Jeez I hope all this anticipation and expectation is met.

It looks sooooooooo good.

Jazz Monkey Jr · 05-10-2005, 6:29 PM

Very nice the game's looking, too. TBH this game's the only reason I've pre-ordered a couple of 360's (one for myself, and one for my brothers crimbo present).

Jazz Monkey Jr · 07-10-2005, 10:47 AM

Sorry if I have missed it, but is Edinburgh in, or is it likely to be an add on?

Kopite4Ever · 07-10-2005, 10:55 AM

dont think edinburgh is in this time and ive heard nothing on what downloadable content will come, but some stuff will come im sure of that

CAS FAN · 07-10-2005, 11:03 AM

They did say in one of the early vids that they were keeping the amount of cities to 4 and that each city would be around 3 times the size of gotham 2 cities. I think they are sticking to New York, Tokyo, London, Las Vegas (+the ring) but i'm sure that more will come out as downloadable content.

07-10-2005, 1:20 PM

Edinburgh was highly enjoyable, especially with the mini coopers and the caterham 7's.

I heard on one of the vids they were looking at getting 60fps, would it really make a difference to the feeling of speed?

Kopite4Ever · 07-10-2005, 1:27 PM

they will be after 60FPS but IMO it matters not. a solid 30FPS is fine. i will let colin come in and fill you in as he seems to enjoy the discussion

JagoPlasma · 07-10-2005, 1:37 PM

a 60fps game will always be faster and move more fluid than a 30fps or even 50fps game, only prob is they never look as good.

i hope the 360 does proper PAL60 unlike the XBOX which did NTSC 60 or PAL 50 in the UK.

unfortunately PDZ is gonna be 25fps... still looks fantastic tho

Well PGR2 is great fun, and still is, and that is in 30fps isn't it?

I remember the first 50fps second game on the Spectrum (Shadow of the Beast), with parallax scrolling !!!

Parallax scrolling was my favourite thing in the world at the time

. I would still rank it as the 2nd best invention in the world ever (after contact lenses). I went all goosebumpy when I heard Rare were using the term parallax mapping for the texture work on Kameo and PDZ

I just noticed that

I do the enjoy the discussion - by writing enough words about people stop reading all of it and anything they diasgree was forgotten about whole paragraphs ago so nobody comes back on it

For anyone that's interested, *cough* *ahem* Project Gotham Racing 3 - Discussion Thread

Summary - 60fps nice, 30 fps smooth but potential for twice as much detail. Conclusion - would everybody please stop worrying about it... please

mal60908, PGR2 definitely was 30fps down from PGR1's 60fps and I don't think many would rather play the first game over its amazing sequel? Seriously though mal, SotB was not 50fps on a speccy, was it? With parallax scrolling??? My ST did parallax scrolling in about 3 games in it's entire Amiga-bashed lifetime...

P.S. Looking back through this thread to find my framerate odyssey, I found a few posts from Pooon where he seemed to lose faith in PGR. He was worried about the dashboard using up precious polygons, that they'd halved the number of cars and that none of the cars had a max speed below 170 - changed days now mate, eh?

Not losing faith, just concerned with the direction the game was going. i'd of been more than happy with pgr2.5 just more of the same! Now i think its still going to be the killer app i wanted it to be with all the bells and whistles not spoiling a great game at the core. yes the dashboards look nice but i'm only ever going to see them once, unless the bumper-cam view is to low

Roll on December 2nd, i need a fresh hit for my pgr addiction
