Project Gotham Racing 3 Screens

[Bullitt]

Bizarre Creations, developers of the forthcoming Project Gotham Racing 3 for Xbox 360, have hit back at accusations of faked screenshots, following last week's Studio Update. After the posting of an incredibly detailed screenshot of buildings from the game's New York level, some people believed it was so realistic as to accuse Bizarre of posting an actual photograph.

To the amazement of some, the screenshot in question was indeed an in-game capture, as proven by the wireframe model released in this week's Studio Update. "This is how PGR3's artwork looks right now. On actual 360 hardware."

To futher silence critics, who might suggest last week's screenshot was a one-off, the web team posted a new screenshot of a different building containing even more detail. (right)

"Yes, it is possible to get all areas of the game that need it up to this level of detail - that’s what you get for 2 years work with up to 35 artists here at Bizarre, plus additional help from outsourcing companies!"

You can check out high resolution versions of the original in-game and wireframe screenshots on the Bizarre site, but to cement the point, we have created these two composites showing the in-game detail with the underlying polygons:

That is awesome. I can't wait until I get my hands on a 360. Imagine it on Live. That does look pretty spectacular.

If thats what the 360 is capable of, be interesting what the PS3 can do - I heard that it has a technological advantage over the 360 in terms of Graphics and Processing Power.

That it does. Things are exciting.

But my money's (initially) still with the 360, mainly for it's Live.

To be honest, I doubt it can get much better than that (until those star trek style hologram rooms are invented).

Most of the PS3's extra power will go into extra behind the scenes proscessing for AI etc on the exclusive games.
