Since our GSY Retro idea was warmly welcome by the community, here is another bunch of videos from the past! To wrap up our coverage of the Project Gotham Racing series, we obviously had to talk about the two first episodes, so dark10x got you some footage of both games on the original Xbox while Miguel captured a few videos of PGR 2 on his 360. If you're more into Sony, Nintendo and Sega, don't worry, we have tons of ideas regarding our retro coverage. Of course, if you have any suggestions to make, now would be a good time.

Btw, Metropolis Street Racer was an incredible game, I loved it so much :3
I remember being blown away by the showroom in PGR2 when it first came out - it was soo cool just taking 'em out for a test drive (especially after you'd fettled the ini files a bit) :)
Shenmue will also of course be featured!
The PGR series in general is very good graphically. PGR3 and especially PGR4 can actually hold their ground in terms of going up against next generation racing games. The car models alone in PGR4 had about 100,000-130,000 polygons (inside and outside combined).
Shit, i think PGR3 was the first racer to incorporate a good cockpit view. I want to say it was after PGR3 that it started being considered a standard that racing games have it.
Shenmue will also of course be featured!
I wish my Dreamcast still worked.

And dat cockpit view with its subtle shakes (or is that nostalgia clouding my memory?).
