The first solid details on Bizarre Creations' fourth entry in the Project Gotham Racing series have emerged in the pages of Official Xbox Magazine US.
The biggest feature in the fourth instalment seems to be a whole bunch of fancy weather effects, including water that beads realistically on the paintjobs, sprays from the tires and causes madness in the in-car view.
Luke Plunkett of Kotaku writes, "I think we all took the Xbox 360 for granted. Other all-time greats like the SNES and PS2 seem to be remembered more fondly than Microsoft’s console, which tends to be recalled as more of a thing that happened than a platform to be treasured."
A Kotaku writer pining for Xbox's golden years. I'm guessing there will be some good comments here.
“WE”didn’t take it for granted, M$ did.
What happened prior to launch of the One up through current day with their marketing and focus away from games and consumers. The failure of the One has nothing to do with the 360 being great. In fact backward compatibility and the 360 is about all the One had/has going for it. Now M$ is dumping money into fornite articles to try and be seen as more than they are, a company that doesn’t give a damn about its fan boys or products.
Clickonline writes "To many, cars are simply a way of getting from point A to point B. But to gamers they are a way of doing so as quickly as possible, while leaving opponents trailing in your wake. The racing genre’s grid has always been full of fierce competitors. And there’s no indication that this will change any time soon with Gran Turismo 6 taking to the start/finish straight and next-gen exclusives such as Driveclub and The Crew."
Jalopnik - I'd just taken over as Tesla's PR guy and had been contacted by old friends at Microsoft Game Studios about including the Tesla Roadster in Project Gotham Racing 4. Darryl Siry, my boss, took me into Martin Eberhard's (Tesla's Co-founder/then CEO) office to broach the topic. That's when it went very wrong.

The snow and ice sounds particularly attactive, along with the rain and fog. Photomode is going to be fantastic with the new effects.
i think gran turismo 5 will look better. imo they have better devs working on it. And they seem to focus on the design of the game more than the features in it. Which equals a better looking game.
Well if GT5 comes out later after PGR4 and it looks better thats because they have had more time to get more out of the hardware, i reckon both games will look excellent but you gotta remember the gameplay, its like the core of the game.
GT5 should release early next year then PGR4 follow late 2008.
No 1 can tell which 1 will look better because these two racers always on point when it comes to graphics, forza 2 is also shaping up to be the best racer - all we need is a direct feed footage of forza 2 to see how good the game realy looks.
