Comparing PGR3 Screens to Real-life Locations

Game: Project Gotham Racing 3

People talk about photo-realistic environments, but we rarely come close to seeing it. Well, at least from a distance, it\'s pretty clear that Project Gotham Racing 3 on the Xbox 360 comes very, very close. Evilgamerz.com has posted some photos comparing in-game locations to their real-life counterparts, and the result is very cool. We only wish we had thought of doing it first. While we\'re not savvy enough to know exactly where each one of these locations are (besides being in Japan), it\'s clear that PGR3 shows them off with near photo-realistic accuracy. Very impressive.

In the great debate about graphics and the Xbox 360, Project Gotham Racing has been a key player. Not only does the franchise play wonderfully, it's become famous for its brilliant attention to detail.

Evilgamerz.com has done something really cool that we wish we had thought to do ourselves; after a trip to Japan, a gamer put together some comparison shots between real life locations seen in PGR3, and… well… real life.

The results are really worth paying attention to. For months before the release of Project Gotham Racing 3 on the Xbox 360, the development team was boasting about the detail that had gone into their game environments. Crowds were huge. Buildings were detailed.

Now you can see just how true it is: [list] [*]Image: Epson Building
