The best architectural renderings of cities are not to be found in research labs or in virtual reality theatres but on game consoles and of these Project Gotham 3 Racing (PGR3) on the Xbox 360 stands out from the crowd. Developed from the original Metropolis Street Racer on the Dreamcast (see our Cities in Games posts for details) PGR3 takes architectural rendering to new levels.
The movie below concentrates on views of the cities, notable is the London Eye towards the end of the clip.
Once we rig up our XBox 360 to a capture card we will feature more movies of the cities featured as well as a post on the making of PGR3.
