Japan was host to the Xbox Summit on Monday, and Bizarre Creations was in on the ground floor.
This week our very own Nick Davies was shipped out to Japan to give the press some info on PGR3. Talking at the Xbox Japan Summit, Nick outlined some further details on the third Project Gotham Racing in the series, as well as showing a new trailer from of the game.
Some points that were covered at the Summit:
The new Route Creator allows you to design your own tracks, and share them online over Xbox Live.
It is now possible to drive any car, at any time. You can buy your favourite super car at the beginning of your career, and use it right through to the completion of the game if you wish.
80 high-powered automobiles are featured in PGR3. You'll be able to drive the most desirable collection of super cars ever featured in a game, such as the Ferrari 430, the Lamborghini Gallardo, and the McLaren F1 LM.
Fully motion captured, 3d crowds react to your racing. They will cheer the cars as they race past, and move away from the barriers if you crash.
Our new sound engine uses 30 individual samples; this is 3 times more than in PGR2.
On average, each car is rendered using 80,000 polygons. This consists of approximately 40,000 for the interior, and 40,000 for the exterior. To put this in perspective, PGR2 used only 10,000 polys per car.
Along a similar sort of lines, the geometry of only the Brooklyn Bridge structure uses the same number of polygons as an entire city in PGR1.
High-resolution video trailer, realtime captures off the Xbox 360 beta kits (CPU/GPU aren't running full speed):
640x480 (13.3MB)
1280x720 (98.4MB), native resolution"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

HOLY ****, Ghost Recon looks ****ing amazing!“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.â€

I am supremely confident in Ubi's ability and determination to **** up Ghost Recon even worse than the assraping it received with GR2.Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui

to Ubisoft for pandering to the 12 yr old crowd by turning Ghost Recon into some kind of half-assed Counter-Strike run-n-gun

It's a good game, but it's not great. I think most people would agree. And find a better retort next time.Comment

Compared to the other shots, the crowd in that picture looks fake to me. Hopefully, it will look better on a production box.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

New Gears of War footage (from Xbox 360 beta kits). Looks amazing, especially the daylight scenes!
The guy talking is one of Epic's developers, Cliffy B.
It's not out for 6-9 months still, and they're working on animations now."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
