Project Gotham Racing 4 To Big For DVD

Oh no… PS3 WINS!!!!

Well not really, but here goes yet another Dev. discussing the size limitations on the standard 9 GB DVD that the Xbox 360 uses. I’m sure we’ll hear more bitching about this in the coming months and years as the system matures.

You won’t see different times of day per city because this involves recreating all the textures again (one for day and one for night). Whilst this wasn’t a problem for our dev team, it was a problem fitting all this data onto a single DVD. So we’ve worked around the problem by providing different lighting models per city. For example, Macau is always in the daytime, but if you play it during a storm everything looks darker and more foreboding. If you play during a blizzard then things are slightly tinged blue and everything seems more frozen. Of course, playing this track in sunshine will make everything appear bright and yellowy.
