What do you do when game developers lie to consumers? Normally, when this happens gamers tend to be disappointed and want their heads. Well, Bizarre (developers of PGR3) claimed that there were approximately 85,000 polygons for each car model. Well, it seems like that number is WRONG. Bizarre publicly apologized for lying about the number of polygons for each car model in PGR3. Enjoy the screenshots. Source: Bizarreonline.net Excerpt from Bizarreonline.net In the past we've claimed that each car in PGR3 is made of about 80,000 polygons on average. To put this in perspective, we previously used about 10,000 per car in PGR2... that's an eight fold increase from our last game. Appropriately enough, some were sceptical about this number, especially given the enhanced shading and lighting we're incorporating into the game in addition to the increased number of polygons. So, I took it upon myself to head over to the car artists, and found out for myself exactly how many polys we were pushing per car. The results were surprising... therefore I'd like to take this opportunity to apologise to all gamers who were expecting 80,000 triangles in PGR3. I can conclusively reveal that in fact we do NOT have 80,000 polygons on average per car. ... It's actually closer to 96,000... Bizarre explained that some cars have 85,000 polygons while others go as high as 105,000, making an average of 96,000 polygons for the whole roster. As a way to apologize for their lie, they decided to release new screenshots that show the cars in both wireframe and fully shaded views.   Add Comment  1 -

Jason Lee 10.15.2005 04:10 Nice to have some good news for a change with all the delays that seem to be popping up. 31 -
Hold UpUnregistered - Zero-0 10.15.2005 05:06 If xbox 360 can pull this many polys why can't we have cg skin on dead or alive 4? Haaaaaaaaaaa. I'd rather have smaller stages with cg like character modeles. To tell you the truth, haveing a big stage doesn't matter that much in a fighting game. What do you think? 32 -
If I was a SONY Fanboy...trick5ter 10.15.2005 13:10 I would totally have flamed after I read the Header. LOL suck on this PS3 ;D 0\/\//\/463! 33 -
What?Unregistered - Moderator 10.15.2005 14:39 Im not sure why your calling their mistake a lie. But it was funny. 34 -
Just another schemeUnregistered - just_gamer 10.16.2005 11:03 How could people believe this crap? This is from my opinion and what i have learned from the past experiences, the company is just trying to sell you game so they make a story so you could follow it. Including xbox360news, they have say good thing about xbox360news or else they wont stay in business. Where would you think they get the money from to offer you this? From game developer and retailer, they have to write to sell the games Or because xbox360news have nothing new to show or interest to show. It so close to the launch day and nothing surprise or major news go around. This just my random though about this stupid article and the xbox360. 35 -
Unregistered - Sh**face 10.16.2005 19:48 34, the people who put advertisments on the site pay for it u f**k 36 -
Unregistered - just_gamer 10.16.2005 23:57 And who are the people that advertise on this site? Xbox dealer and reseller...or games developer themselve. 37 -
Yo Wassap 10.17.2005 07:43 Well yeah the site is called xbox360news.com i dougt you'd find a ps2 on this site huh? 38 -

Unregistered - Omnistegan 10.18.2005 12:00 O another interesting fact, in LOTR the tower that blows at the end was a model with abour 300000 polygons, so if there are even 3 cars in a game at a time, it will look at LOTR digital work..... cant frickin wait. holy shiznacle over 100000 ploys in a game... wow.... just wow. 41 -
