Project Gotham Racing 2
new track YOKOHAMA (MM21)
Project Gotham Racing" which is one of the titles which were most successful in the race game of Xbox. As for "Project Gotham Racing 2 (PGR2)" used as the sequel, sale is scheduled for winter of 2003. The information that E3 was new in the form added to it this time although some information is exhibited was already offered. Mr. Nick WIZUWERU who has acted as the lead sound designer by Bizarre Creations which is a developing agency introduced the information this time.
In PGR2, all systems that constitute a game, such as a graphics engine, physical engine, and sound engine, are remade into the new thing. Moreover, the "Kudos system" which is also the feature of PGR has evolved. Furthermore, twice [ more than ] as many a car and a city as a previous work are recorded, and, of course, it corresponds also to Xbox Live. Anyhow, the scale far exceeding a previous work will be realized.
About graphics, full use of a self shadow (its shade falls to oneself), a radiosity (shading technique in consideration of direct light and catoptric light), full scene anti-aliasing (the jaggy of a boundary line is canceled), and -ed depth etc. was made, and quality which exceeds a previous work greatly is realized. Of course, by Xbox Live correspondence, the multi-play not only through single play mode but Xbox Live is supported, and, naturally the voice chat is also mounted.
Now, the newest information announced this time is related with the new city recorded, and is . The new course which becomes the mind is "Yokohama." It is wholly rich, characteristic buildings, such as Yokohama Grand Intercontinental Hotel which imagined the landmark tower of a skyscraper, the KOSUMO clock 21 of a large Ferris wheel, and the sail of a sailboat, and was built, are reproduced with reality centering on MM 21 area, and it is very highly complete. Moreover, it is said that actual DJ who is playing an active part in FM YOKOHAMA is appointed, and the musical piece of Japan is also recorded, of course when playing this Yokohama area.
Probably it continued at the previous work, it became clear that the city in Japan is recorded, and expectation grew for the Japanese user again.
