News - OXM previews Project Gotham Racing 4 (X360)

Posted by Ian Pueschel at 09:27:11 PM EST on 3.29.2007.

A few excerpts from the May issue of Official Xbox Magazine's Project Gotham Racing 4 preview have made it to the web, revealing some key features for the game.

Enhanced Weather Simulation- “One of the slickest new features in PGR is its weather. Bizarre’s using what it likes to call ‘extreme weather’ for more than just making the sky gray. Water beads up on beautifully on all the gorgeous paintjobs, spray jets out from the tires, and in the in-car view, wipers move and windshields ice up.”

Enhanced Raceway Environments- “A TV-style intro sets up each event, with a commentator offering wisdom...Choppers buzz overhead, camera crews and video vans are everywhere, and hordes of fans line the track. They’ll wear gear with your logo, wave your national flag, and react far more obviously to your performance.”

Extended Car Selection- “PGR4 will deliver a much broader set of vehicles, ranging from a vintage’63 Corvette Sting Ray and the ’54 Maserati 250F to the sleek, ultra-modern Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano.”

The issue will be on newsstands April 10th, and will also include some exclusive screenshots.

PGR4 is scheduled for a Winter release on the Xbox 360.

I loved 3, I never played any of the previous ones, so I can't really say anything negative about it relative to it's previous iterations.

I'm very enthused about this one though. maybe I can finally make use of the racing wheel I wasted money on!

anyone wanna buy it?

I hope 4 is good. I really really really liked PGR2, but I thought PGR3 was a HUGE step back for the series.
