XBox 360 Rally

Behold! Project Gotham Racing 4 in all it’s beauty. The weather effects shown in the video are simply amazing, and the cars and track all look simply beautiful. But wait, there is more info on the game. The team working on PGR4 gave the world some new info on their upcoming sequel in the PGR series, and what they had to tell us was pretty nice.

First thing first, the dynamic weather system that you see in the video. During the races, the weather can (and sometimes will) change on you, with rain or snow falling in mid race. This changes the physics on the track, making it more slick and making you watch how you handle your car.

For more information, read the official release after the break.

Greetings “Project Gotham Racing 4” Fans!

We know it’s been a while since you’ve heard from us, so we’re here to get you up to speed (no pun intended) on “Project Gotham Racing® 4,” Bizarre Creations’ highly-anticipated sequel to the blockbuster “PGR®” racing franchise. Set to drift onto store shelves this fall, there are several new features to get your engines revved up about.

Right from the starting line, Bizarre’s vision for “PGR 4” was to create an emotionally-charged racing experience, where players become attached to their careers, profiles and vehicles. There are several new features that embody this emotional experience, the most significant being the new career mode. Drivers will be rewarded with a growing fanbase that’ll cheer them on, react to their every move and support them through victory. Just imagine hearing the roar of the crowd as you cross the finish line with your own style and flair.

One of the most appealing new gameplay elements is the dynamic weather system. Now racing through a track can mean facing an unexpected rain storm or snow flurries in the middle of a race. This results in changing physics when powering around a corner on the wet or icy surface in Shanghai and St. Petersburg or any of the game’s 10 other locations. So, if you think driving on a dry track is boring…

Weather changes won’t be the only element that brings added excitement and challenge to the game. Flair and driving style will now be just as important as technical skill, as players passing their opponent at full speed will pump their fists and exhibit more emotion as they earn recognition with the revised Kudos system. The Kudos will be worthwhile too, because the new A.I. personalities will be able to perform bold new driving maneuvers as they race side by side with other drivers.

”PGR 4” will also feature some of the world’s most iconic cars, as new vehicles are lined up and ready to be driven, including the following:

2004 TVR Sagaris
1965 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray
2005 Vanwall GPR V12
1993 Toyota Supra Turbo
2005 Gumpert Apollo
1997 Panoz GTR-1 Coupe
2006 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano
1957 Maserati 250F

Be on the lookout next month for additional updates as we roll out the game’s impressive new features, locations and vehicle list.

Until next time, keep your car in fifth and two wheels on the pavement!

Your “Project Gotham Racing 4” Team
