Location-wise, confirmed tracks include the iconic Nurburgring in Germany, and the streets of North Quebec and St Petersburg. Microsoft also mentions that the game will throw a new dynamic weather system into the action with realistic physics effect caused by snow and rain. Sounds like we'll have some pretty little nippers at our disposal then. The game is set to feature a set of what Microsoft calls "the world's most iconic cars", including the '62 Ferrari 250 GTO, the '78 Lamborghini Countach LP400, '98 Subaru Impreza 22B STi and the '07 Lotus GT3RR. We were extremely pleased then when Microsoft Game Studios let loose a few new screenshots and a handful of details about the upcoming game, including car lists. Put those rose-colored glasses on and embrace the past with more in our tech nostalgia series.Project Gotham Racing 4 is one of the most anticipated Xbox 360 games for most bonnet-buddies out there, and it may be the game which could replace Forza 2 for the car-aholics in the office. If you've got your own PGR memories to share, be sure to drop them into the comments below. Which is exactly what I'm going to be doing having finished writing this post. Alas, that's a far fetched dream, but at least what we did get left a mark and can be played still today. There may not be a place for PGR in the landscape anymore, but in my heart it's the one title I want to see reborn above all others.
And we're fortunate that we have these among a slew of amazing racing games to play on the current and future Xbox consoles. The Forza Horizon series is an obvious comparison, but elsewhere, Codemasters' reboot of GRID is probably the closest modern title to capturing the magic of this great series. Without its influence on the genre, who knows what we'd be playing today. While Project Gotham Racing has resigned to the history books, the franchise's importance will never be replaced. Had I known at the time it could have been the difference over buying Apple!Ĭheck it out in the video above.
A fun little tidbit: Did you know Microsoft actually released a PGR game for the Zune? Neither did I until recently.
