Update For All Project Gotham Racing Fans!
"PGR 4" Piles on the Snow, Unveils Nurburgring and Quebec and Rolls out the Goods from BMW, Lotus and Toyota
London 15th June, 2007 - Bizarre Creations and Microsoft Games Studios bring you the latest details on all things "Project Gotham Racing® 4," which is speeding its way nicely onto store shelves in time for this Autumn. Make sure to download the latest screenshots and new gameplay video from our public FTP: http://edelmanadmin.psni.com/public/.
The dynamic weather system will bring Mother Nature into the mix, and will show exactly what kind of physics the snow can introduce. Check out the video and see for yourself not only how cool drifting and powering in the big white flakes looks, but also how challenging and realistic the elements can feel while driving.
The video takes place in the beautiful cityscape of Nurburgring. Additionally, you will be able to tear through the streets of North in Quebec. These two cities, along with St. Petersburg, are three of 10 locations in "PGR 4." More information on the rest of the cities will follow soon.
"PGR 4" will also feature some of the world's most iconic cars, including the following:
· '62 Ferrari 250 GTO
· '67 Toyota 2000GT
· '78 Lamborghini Countach LP400
· '98 Subaru Impreza 22B STi
· '04 BMW M5
· '07 Ruf RGT 997
