Now that Project Gotham Racing 3 has shown us that the franchise can succeed in the Xbox Live 360 environment, it is time for Bizarre to fully exploit the capabilities of the Xbox 360. And boy does it look like they are going to pull it off!

Judging from the latest screenshots, PGR4 will have a ultra realistic look and very challenging weather conditions. Be prepared to race in rain, snow and fog, and be prepared for slippery conditions!

Although this may appear to be a step towards the race-simulation end of racing games, such as Gran Turismo and Forza 2, we can only hope that PGR4 will retain the semi-arcady feel that we all love.

Now where can I get my pre-order for Project Gotham Racing 4?
