- Project Gotham Racing Xbox video impresses 2001-10-12 · 42 postsDoug Hook shared video of Project Gotham Racing for the Xbox, whose Ferrari model looked almost photographic. Others were impressed but noted the poor engine sound, the lack of a cockpit view, and suspected arcade handling like Metropolis Street Racer; Joe McGinn of Radical Entertainment thought GT3 looked better overall. Posters corrected that the car was an F50, not an F40.
- Xbox or PS2? Project Gotham versus Gran Turismo 3 2002-03-21 · 33 postsSteve Crook-Dawkins asked whether to buy an Xbox or PS2 instead of upgrading his PC. Opinions split: some preferred the Xbox hardware and games like Project Gotham and RalliSport, while others found the PS2 had more good games. Most agreed that GT3 is 'sim-lite' while Project Gotham is an arcade racer, and Steve Smith mentioned writing a Motor Trend article on car games.
- Gran Turismo 3 versus Project Gotham Racing for a console newcomer 2002-07-03 · 24 postsA non-gamer asked whether to buy a PS2 with Gran Turismo 3 or an Xbox with Project Gotham Racing. Most respondents favoured GT3 for its polish and depth, while others argued PC sims offer more longevity through online play and mods. The original poster ended up buying the Xbox and PGR, and the thread drifted into Microsoft's losses on Xbox hardware and the delay of GT4.
- Will GT3 or Project Gotham Racing come to PC? 2002-01-04 · 22 postsJim asked whether Gran Turismo 3 or Project Gotham Racing would come to PC, impressed by their graphics. Replies said GT3 would never leave PlayStation, PGR might be ported, and both lacked a cockpit view, which several regulars called a deal-breaker. Others credited console visuals to good lighting and reflections, and noted the physics were simplified.
- Project Gotham Racing on Xbox versus Gran Turismo 2002-05-17 · 21 postsA poster praised an Xbox demo of what turned out to be Project Gotham Racing, comparing it favourably with GT3. Others found it shallow beyond multiplayer, argued over whether PGR or Gran Turismo handled better, and listed upcoming console racers. The thread ended with questions about TVs versus monitors for consoles.
