Quote:

Community and competition form a large part of the success of the Project Gotham Racing® series, and PGR 4 is no exception. One of the challenges of creating PGR 4 was determining how we could really tap into the passion and energy our fans bring to the game. To foster that competitive spirit, we’re introducing the PGR Nations website.

Here on the PGR Nations website, we track that information so that you have timely updates on your nation’s standings. The main page holds the primary international standings. National leaderboards show you how individuals rank within a nation, while the My Stats page will show your individual standings. Regular story updates bring you news and information from the PGR 4 world—some of it written by your fellow PGR racers! All this information and more will be available here at the PGR Nations website, so stay tuned!

Chromehounds THE RACING GAME??

captscience · (09-13-2007, 06:53 PM)

These photomode screens look absolutely incredible.
I wonder if gameplay graphics will match this level of quality within this gen. Here's hoping.

godhandiscen · (09-13-2007, 06:53 PM)

Even if the actual gameplay only looks half as good this will be the best looking game ever.

PGR2 was the game that made me buy an Xbox, PGr4 may be the game to make me buy a 360, but this time I want to see more than just the Welsh playing on XBL.

Is any of these pics ingame or is photomode becoming the new ingame?

If they are not ingame, do we have any 720p direct-feed ingame footage anywhere out there? I just want to know what I can expect playing it.

There's a demo coming before or near release so you can calm down Sony fans.

I know its not allowed but i really wish there were some sanctions or anything for the 1st post on any thread about fanboy/fan/anything like that. This is SO annoying , cant u keep this clean?

No Porsches, no sale. Sorry, but not having the 959 and Carrera GT in this game, when they were both in Forza 2, is unacceptable. :-(

Uh, yeah, try having NO Scion xB in EITHER.

Oh, that's a good thing, trust me. But with a game that celebrates automotive performance, surely, putting a Porsche or two in there can't be that tough if THE GAME'S PUBLISHER HAS THE GODDAMN PORSCHE LICENSE.

Sometimes, I just don't understand people...

EDIT: If the Carrera GT can't be in the game, at least put in the Gemballa Mirage GT. Same car, just pimped out with some engine tuning, an aerokit, and a sweet-ass interior...

Q: How did you manage to keep it together?
A: We knew Snoopers was still in the fight. He gave us direct-feed

As far as I can tell, the ONLY thing missing is Porsche and the new M3. other than that, it's any car enthusiasts wet dream.

I wonder if the Coparo is the fastest car in the game this time around. I also thought the 599 would be a class above the z06 and f430.

They don't have my LS3 C6 Corvette. But I can take the Z06 and pretend that's it. ;)

I suggest any porsche fan take RUF and do the same.

PS: I don't think the Gemballa is officially it's own brand, it's just a tuning company. Officially, RUF is a totally separate car from Porsche.

There are 5 Porsches in the game. RUF ftw!

dankir · (09-13-2007, 07:20 PM)

Awesome, gonna pick it up release day.

EA owns the license among 3rd parties, so you won't see Porsches in anything but 1st party a la Forza 2.

Gemballa cars are in Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition and the Japanese versions of Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune, so I don't think that's the problem.

Still, the lack of Porsches in the game when MS has the license is mind-boggling. I couldn't understand it in PGR3, and I don't understand it now...

BrokenSymmetry · (09-13-2007, 07:21 PM)

I have a feeling that the national leaderboards is a brilliant idea. Next to being the best among your friends you will have additional goals of being the best in your country. Sounds good to me.

MoChi · (09-13-2007, 07:21 PM)

the rain detail looks amazing.

the kremlin is... holy crap.

TTG · (09-13-2007, 07:29 PM)

Can someone make a "official Project Gotham" thread? The game is gold already, I think that qualifies.

With a demo and a bunch of media coming out soon, it would help...

dark10x · (09-13-2007, 07:31 PM)

Wow, looks insane.

If this game manages to avoid the awful loading screens of PGR3, I may pick it up.

It's being published by Microsoft, and Microsoft is a first-party publisher, so how doesn't that count?
