Metropolis Street
Racer Metropolis
Street Racer (MSR) has quickly become one
of the most anticipated Dreamcast games
ever. While the gameplay is supposed to
be mostly arcade, Bizarre Creations has
released pictures showing cars with
license plates that say "GT
WHO" (if you dont get that, it
stands for Gran Turismo, if you don't
know what that is, go jump out a window).
The graphics in
MSR are, so far, outstanding. Drawing
more than 2 million polygons per second
on screen, the cars alone are sculpted
out of 3 thousand polygons it shows. The
team working on the game has reportedly
gone to the cities (listed below) and
studied maps so they can make accurate
models of them in the game. Special
effects like the blur you see from lights
at night and weather conditions are
supposedly getting attention to detail as
well.
Also, Bizzare
Creations has made sure the game is
accurate in the sound department.
Recording hundreds of different cars
sounds from engines, to squeals. There is
going to be a varied soundtrack of techno
and dance songs.
The game is set in
America, Japan, and the UK. Cities
include San Francisco, Tokyo, and London,
although more may be included. About 30
cars will also be selectable, from such
automobile makers as Toyota, Mazda, TVR,
Honda, Mercedes, Peugeot, Jensen, Alfa
Romeo, Renault, Rover, Ford, and
Mitsubishi. But enough of my babbling, on
to the screenshots!
(Sorry for the poor quality
of screens, but we are almost out of
space, but don't worry, we will have our
own domain with 200 MB of space in about
a week ~Sonysbad)
