PGR4

Post by S2000_Skyline12 »

IGN wrote:While news that Bizarre Creations is working on Project Gotham Racing 4 may come as no surprise, the game has recieved a sort-of official announcement over the weekend - but not by Microsoft. Instead, French car maker Peugeot let slip that the game is in development in a press release detailing the company's fourth design-a-car competition.

In the release - which invites applicants to use their imagination to re-invent the car with six values in mind: Pleasurable (to drive), Lively, Efficient, Accessible, Simple and Ecological, or PLEASE for short - Peugeot announced that the winning design would "be featured in the Project Gotham Racing 4 videogame, only on the Xbox 360." In addition, the winning idea will made into a full-scale concept car that will shown on Peugeot's stand at the Frankfurt 2007 Motor Show. The winner will also receive a cheque for 6,000 Euros.

It's thought Microsoft was planning to announce PGR4 at its X06 event later this month

but Peugeot leaked the news first. Microsoft was unavailable for comment at this time.

I'm not really fond of the 'cars vs. bikes' thing, but maybe it will turn out great when I play it. As long as it gets as good as PGR3 this game is going to sell great. And I'm going to be one of the buyers xD.

The carlist has some really nice cars in it, but I still don't like the fact that they have no Porsches in it, yes they do have the RUF versions but even though it is almost the same, it's not... and with that there is no Carerra GT and other none 911 models.
I hope it's more exiting then PGR3 cause I found PGR3 to be not very exiting, it looked great but I think that was about it for me. they focues to much on visuals, and IMO overdone it sometimes with the shiny stuff.. cause the Ring didn't look realistic AT ALL, if looked like loonytunes world...
PGR2 on the ohter hand was a very nice game to play, it was availeble on the 360 (update pack) but for some reason I can't play it anymore.. it keeps saying no update availeble...

I think I try the demo and see how I like that, it does have a nice carlist wich is a good thing, but if that is all it has... I don't think ill get it.
Same goes for Juiced 2... that game has something that annoyed me from the start in terms of gfx and gameplay, and no matter how big and good the carlist is, I doubt I'll like it.

Interesting... I can definitely think of a few games that look graphically superior. How many Fezzas are in this game?

Now I gotta admit, THAT's a nice LP640. That's the one flaw of one of the superior games--it doesn't have Lambos. Although every single Fezza in history is licensed, along with Formula One cars.

Project Gotham Racing 4: Track List

TOTAL: 115 TRACKS (60 Returning + 55 New)
---------------------------------------------------------

Set around one of the famous lengths of tarmac in the world, The Strip, most of the tracks in this Nevada city all follow a simple formula: massive long straights with an intense hairpin at the end of them. Make sure you apply the brakes early to get your speed down and follow the rumble strips, and you should be able to swing around just fine. Remember that bikes generally corner slower than cars around hairpins, so be extra vigilant when riding two wheels instead of four.

Las Vegas is most spectacular at night, and so it's only fitting that this is how it appears in PGR4. Don't get too distracted by the neon though, and remember that weather is now a feature. Yes, it does very occasionally snow in Vegas in real life... although you will probably see it a bit more frequently in PGR4!


Track List (Total 12 Tracks)

Big Apple Loop
Flamingo Straits
Buccaneer Loop
Tropicana Tour
Spring Mountain Turns
South Strip Loop
Las Vegas Boulevard Tour
Boulevard Straits
Short Run
North Vegas Run
South Vegas Run
The Grand Run


---------------------------------------------------------

Start your race on the banks of the River Thames, and speed past the Houses of Parliament. London is a historic city, so remember that its streets weren't designed with cutting-edge sports cars and superbikes in mind. Runoff is virtually non-existent in the city centre because of the close proximity of the buildings to the road. Stay away from the barriers to keep your speed up, and be careful when riding your bike through the slaloms.

Watch out for the infamous London fog and rain... it can wreck havoc in the tight inner-city areas of the track. Learn the routes before you go flat out.


Track List (Total 12 Tracks)

Her Majesty's Pleasure
The Birdcage
Embankment Rush
Whitehall Straits
The Bulldog
The Old City Loop
Westminister Tour
Trafalgar Tour
Down the Mall
Thornbury Corner
Old City East
St James Park


---------------------------------------------------------

The two giant bridges make a comeback, this time with new vehicles and weather conditions. It is possible to push the fastest cars and bikes to their limit in New York, but watch out for the absurdly tight corners at either end of the Brooklyn Bridge. You'll need to get your speed right down; otherwise you'll become a little too acquainted with the Armco!


Track List (Total 12 Tracks)

Worth & Walker Street
Broadway Run
City Hall Park
The Outskirts
Park Row
Brooklyn Bridge Strait
The Bridge Tour
Park to Tillary
Center & Broadway
Foley Square Loop
White Street Bends
Chapel Street Corner


--------------------------------------------------------------

The "Green Hell" makes a comeback in PGR4, this time bigger and badder than before. This time around you'll have to contend with fog, rain, and snowdrifts. It's tough enough to complete a lap in good weather... wait until you see it under a foot of snow!

The Snow 'Ring has actually been modelled on a completely different mesh to the Clear 'Ring, this letting us do cool things like swap out the trees for ones sporting a new "leafless look", pile up snow on the grassy areas, and cover certain rumble strips in snowfall. If you're looking for the ultimate Gotham challenge, you just found it.


Track List (Total 12 Tracks)

Half F1 Circuit
Full F1 Circuit
Nordschleife Long
The Behemoth
Schwedenkreuz
Wipperman
Fuchsrohre
Schwalbenschwanz
Klostertal
Metzgesfeld
Antoniousbuche
Pflanzgarten Long


---------------------------------------------------------

Japan's largest metropolis returns to the PGR series, with wide roads and plenty of space to jostle for position. There are various corner types, ranging from super-long sweeping bends to insanely tight hairpins. Taking motorcycles for a spin in Tokyo will be a humbling experience the first time around, especially when trying to tackle the descending circle turn at the Shinjuku bus terminal! Remember, bikes make up their ground on the straights. When cornering, brake more than you normally would in a car and make sure your racing line is good.


Track List (Total 12 Tracks)

Shinjuku Kabukicho Loop
Tochomae Loop
The Good Tomorrow
Ekimae Loop
Bark To The Sun
Nishiguchi Short
Shinjuku Speedway
Shinjuku Skyscraper
Oedo Chase
The Triangle Building
Shinjuku Tour
Crazy Turns





------------------------------------------------------------
Famous for its inner-city bike races, Macau is a track split into two. The city centre has open roads and lots of room to get your speed up. Some of the elevated sections might cause your vehicle to catch some air, but nothing you can't handle. Take one of the mountain roads though, and you'll see a whole different Macau. Twisting, fast, narrow, and (in places) tunnelled. Remember, what goes up(hill) must come down(hill)!

Prone to tropical storms, Macau's track surface can become a nightmare when wet. Adjust your throttle appropriately when the rain starts falling!


Track List (Total 11 Tracks)

Instituto Politecnico
Avenida da Amizade
Guia Hill Park
Estrada de S. Francisco
Avenida de Dr. Rodrigues
Estrada de Cacilhas
Avenida de M. Baptista
Guia Hairpin
Hotel Lisboa
Avenida da Praia Grande
Grand Prix Building


---------------------------------------------------------------

Shanghai at night is an amazing sight, with neon signage to rival Las Vegas. However, don't be distracted by the beautiful skyscrapers or dramatic lighting; you'll need to stay alert when racing here. Almost all of the roads are several lanes wide, meaning that it becomes less a task of avoiding the barriers than it does getting the perfect racing line. Most circuits are suited to fast cars, meaning that Shanghai is sure to become a "Class A whore's" favourite.

If you're going for a fast lap in Shanghai you'll need to let the rumble strips guide you in and out of the multiple chicanes. That doesn't mean it's not fun though; Shanghai is a perfect playground for Kudos grabbers to practice their trade. A wet race in this city is hardly ever without incident. Pay attention and don't let the speed creep up on you.


Track List (Total 13 Tracks)

The Grand Theatre
Neon Tour
B-Circuit
People's Race
Shanghai Old Town
Xizhang Road
Shanghai Grand Slam
Jiu Fu Loop
Landmark Tour
People's Avenue
On the Bund
Museum Loop
Shanghai Open



--------------------------------------------------------------------

This Russian city consists largely of open roads with lots of runoff to play with. Expect high speed driving, but you'll need to experiment with your racing lines to find the fastest route through the open areas. The terrain is mostly flat, but watch out for the humpback bridges! Use them to grab some extra Air Kudos during a race.

There are some tighter roads around the central canals area; don't let the shorter corners take you by surprise. Overhead tram wires add to the sense of speed, but don't let them deceive you; you'll need to contrast your driving between the super-long slaloms and the turn-on-a-penny square corners.


Track List (Total 12 Tracks)

Nevskiy Run
Embankments and Parks
The Hermitage Race
Pushkin's Places
Kazanskiy Cathedral
Moika Turns
The Admiralty
The City Center Loop
Channel Tour
Great Peter's Walk
Artist's Square Circle
Palace Square


------------------------------------------------------------
Racing Quebec is like riding a twisting rollercoaster ride through narrow streets and hills. Most corners are long and slender, suited to either car or bike, and can be taken at high speed. However, there are a few awkward bends which you'll need to learn by heart in order to take at pace. A nice highlight is the gated city walls, which some circuits snake right through.

As you might expect in what has been described as PGR4's answer to Edinburgh, there is very little runoff and thus no margin for error. Watch those barriers!


Track List (Total 12 Tracks)

La Haute-Ville
Grand City Tour
Abraham's Battlefield
Rampart Run
La Basse-Ville
Old Port Short
La Grande Allée
Chateau Frontenac
Twisted Old Port
City Hall Detour
Fountain Square
Parliament Hill

------------------------------------------------------------

Michelin Test Track

As the icing on the location cake, we have also added a fictional Test Track to PGR4. This performs a similar function to the test track from Gotham 2, in that it's a great place to take your cars out and push them to the limit. However, unlike the test track from Gotham 2, this one serves a purpose in the Single Player career mode too. Several invitation challenges take place on the Michelin Test Track, sometimes on the Nascar-style oval, sometimes on the windy service roads, and occasionally on the dirty great skid pan located in the centre.

Despite the track being fictional, it has been inspired by a particular famous racing circuit in the States which I won't mention. But why sponsored by Michelin I hear you ask? Well, not only does this add some real racing authenticity to the game, we also get to include a couple of 40 foot high giant Michelin men in there. So everybody's a winner really.


Track List (Total 7 Tracks)

The Oval
The Short Test
The Medium Test
The Long Test
The Complex Test
The Ultimate Test
Skid Pan

Now those shots, while cool, are DEFINITELY fake. So far while these tracks are based on real-world locatios, the only real racetrack I see is the Nurburgring Nordschliefe.

No what I mean is that those pictures don't look as realistic as the other shots you've posted. These shots do look quite spectacular, but some of them are more on par with Gran Turismo 4 on the PS2 than the others. Not that GT4 looked bad, but the Gran Turismo series is probably one of this series' rivals in terms of graphics, but GT5 looks so close to real-life.
