For all of you Project Gotham Racing fans out there, Bizarre Creations and Microsoft Games Studios have made available the latest details on Project Gotham Racing 4, which is set for an autumn release this year. Also, the developer has made available some new screenshots and a new gameplay video.

Gamers

will most likely observe a dynamic weather system, showing exactly what kind of physics the snow can introduce. And as there will be some weather conditions, drifting and powering in the big white flakes, that will still be a totally new experience even for hardcore gamers, with this latest installment of Project Gotham Racing. Players will simply be amazed by how challenging and realistic all these elements can feel while driving. The video shows all that, but I'm sure it's a totally different story once you're behind the wheel.

Some of the world's most iconic cars, included in Project Gotham Racing 4 are:

- '62 Ferrari 250 GTO
- '67 Toyota 2000GT
- '78 Lamborghini Countach LP400
- '98 Subaru Impreza 22B STi
- '04 BMW M5
- '07 Ruf RGT 997
- '07 Lotus GT3RR

In the video, the racing takes place on the well-known track of Nurburgring, and later on, you will be witnessing some tearing through the streets of Quebec. These two cities, along with St. Petersburg, are just three of the 10 locations present in Project Gotham Racing 4. Bizarre Creations and Microsoft Games Studios assure that newer stuff will be presented to you soon. For instance, next month there will be additional updates, regarding new features, locations and a vehicle list. Bizarre Creations have already announced that there will be many more classical cars in PGR 4 than there were in PGR3, so Keep Hope Alive! (soundtrack from the game's X06 trailer).

One of PGR 4's main attractions is that it features instant weather. The weather changes dramatically from sun to rain to snow and to hail all within a single race. However, if logged on to Xbox Live, weather from the Weather Channel will be uploaded, allowing users to set in-game conditions to mirror current weather conditions in the respective cities. Don't tell me it's the first time you hear of this feature.
