Like I said, when it was originally announced, they did infact mention a PC release.

They are extremely touched up, and like I said before, most of the effects are "faked"

The reflections are not realtime, (which is a huge performance hit) the cars are relatively low poly (possible because there is no visible damage) and the texturing is designed to fit into the ps2's tiny ammount of memory.

However, because Polyphony digital are comprised mainly of ex sega and namco developers, they know how to push hardware, and have excellent art teams.

Project gotham racing 2 is doing a whole lot more technically (real-time reflections/shadowing/lighting/damage etc) but at times doesn't even look as good (and at others looks much better, especially as it is using FSAA)

Here's some PGR2 (xbox only, ingame) screens:

I'd love to see what polyphony digital would be able to do with the xbox!

Note: PGR2 has 102 licensed cars (and more to come via xbox live downloads) 10 Real-world cities accurately modeled, with licensed storefronts! :o

All cars are able to recieve visible damage (doesn't affect the performance though)

Yeh it looks the same in game on PGR2... gran turismo looks good on replays but when your playing its a completely differnt game and looks crap

i do want it to come out on pc too. but like i said, i highly doubt it's true, especially since that's the only source..i searched google and haven't found any other source of this info..

take a good look at halo it will probly be the same way
well, halo is a different story..it was originally designed for pcs, so it wasn't that far fetched.

Gran turismo has the same feeling when you are playing the game. It doesn't feel like crap at all nor does it look like it. It's a simulation game and although it doesn't feel like you're going extremely fast,doesn't mean the game is crap.Every game looks better in replay, being able to see different angles of the car and reflections you don't/can't see when you're playing it because you are looking at the back of the car. :huh:

i would LOVE to see GT for pc. i never played 3. i haven't owned a colsole since the original PS, bit i loved the first one so much. i remember playing it for hours at a time trying to unlock everything. there just aren't any great racing games for the PC and gt would definitely fill a void ( yes, NFS underground was good, but not good enough). sony would make a killing on it if they released it on PC. i really hope they do

last console i owned was psx too

i still got the first gt, it was a good game, but to arcade like, no simulation at all, and to many damn asian cars.

that a really bad plan, and pc was never considered a platform by console companys

there are console games out there on ps2 or xbox that say xbox/ps2 excusive, but some of them also are on pc.

that exclusive only reprents console market.

and i will never buy ps2

simulation

haha that hilarious

i played gt3, and its nowhere close to simulation

Have you ever tried changing the car settings to the exact settings to the car you use? I can tell that in game is close to real but not that close unfortunately. That's where GT4 will succeed
