Project Gotham 4 Racing 4 Dated
The bike-infested racing game is just over a month away.
A year ago Bizarre Creations wouldn't even acknowledge the existence of Project Gotham Racing 4. The game has kept something of a low profile during its development, but the UK-based developer is now opening up as it puts the game through its final stages before release.
As part of its presence at this week's Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany, the company confirmed on Thursday that Project Gotham Racing 4 would arrive for the Xbox 360 on 12 October at a retail price of £45.
The biggest change for this year's edition is the addition of motorbikes. Bizarre has added another nine to the roster this week, including the Triumph Trident 2005 and one of the latest Kawasaki Ninjas, the ZX-14 2007. Environmental types will also be able to experience the 2008 model of the new Tesla Roadster, one of the first totally electric sports cars.
While the bulk of the game will likely be much the same as in previous instalments, the development team has gone back in to refine the kudos reward system. There's also a new career mode.
