Project Gotham Racing Xbox video impresses

Doug 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.

copy the link........then paste it to the url window on your browser. Then before hitting enter, make sure you add an x to the end of the address. It will take you to the file... BTW....I saw a nose cam, and a tail gunner view...nothing from inside the car...Thats a shame...all that power wasted on a kite simulator. dave henrie "Da Man" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:YQMx7.76460$[email hidden]... > This link keeps crashing Internet Explorer... > > "Doug Hook" <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:v0Mx7.107614$[email hidden]... > > This makes everything else look weak by comparison.

Still graphically impressive without a cockpit view. But I agree, it needs an in car view.

You're right, it really looks like an F40. Graphically definately a couple of notches up from NFS:PU. Pity it sounds like a table vac. That could be the video format though.

I saw a nose cam...not a cockpit. Somebody here posted about nose views awhile back. He basically had the posistion that with a nose cam view all the car movement is happening behind you. And since you can't view any of that movement, a problem will be well on it's way to becomming a major problem before the view up front gets transmitted. dave henrie "Jeff Jones" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > > Still graphically impressive without a cockpit view.

Can't even judge the world/lighting quality in that blurry/foggy video. As a package deal GT3 looks miles better. Joe McGinn _____________________ Radical Entertainment

Not saying it looks like shit....but that video is no real good way to judge its looks...i think everyone in gotham must be Jamaicans or dutchies putting up a smokescreen....talk about fog..ggg http://www.xbox.com/games/racing/project-gotham.htm Check there...normal screenshots...yeah..looks ok but nothing a decent PC won't do.. >>"Doug Hook" <[email hidden]> wrote: >> >>This makes everything else look weak by comparison.

Cars look great! Shame the GUI's make it look like an arcade game. Lets' hope it's more of a sim (X 'crossed fingers') MB "David L. Cook" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:RrNx7.33643$[email hidden]...

We can't tell much from that video, other than what appears like a nice car model (but it damn well better be, as the only dynamic object in the whole scene!).

Ok, so it really looks like an F50. Sheesh! -We're discussing graphic realism here, not doing some "Ferrari spotting". Jan. =--- "Pay attention when I'm talking to you boy!" -Foghorn Leghorn. "Kevin Clark" wrote... > It's an F50 :-/
There's no saying what it's like "to drive" from a video like that. I have a bad feeling about this one too (in the unlikely event it gets converted to the PC), but, as I got fried for calling certain products arcade based on pre-release material in here, I kept my mouth shut about those aspects and limited myself to what I could see and hear.

Haven't checked out the videos (old player, I guess). Maybe it is graphically amazing. But hate to burst your bubble. Looks like it has the same "kudos" system as the DC's "Metropolis Street Racer". As someone else mentioned the parallel: Gotham = Metropolis? So, I assume it is as arcadey as that title, which is gathering dust on my shelf. Might appeal for an occasional play, and maybe to look at. But if it is indeed like that title, it will not interest any of you interested in even a modicum of realism.
