First PGR4 screens?



This is over a year away and I really, REALLY can't wait


I've been a fan since MSR on the DC, and PGR2 was practically a religion. I have a feeling that without the pressure of having to make launch etc, Bizzare are set to release a classic we'll still speak of 20 years from now.. Here's a bit more news and a couple of screens (taken from Eurogamer)



Reports on the preview's contents have yet to be verified by Bizarre, but claim that the game will feature all of the series' previous locations along with Shanghai-based tracks, while name-checked cars include a 1963 Corvette StingRay, a 1954 Maserati 250F and the much newer Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano.Graphically, scans of the screenshots suggest claims that the weather system is much fancier are on the mark, with freezing temperatures covered this time (snow, anyone?), weather that deteriorates mid-race, and even troubling fog in some areas of Nurburgring. Those of you who use the in-car view will find that the weather creates new problems, reports reckon, while the driver inside the car will feed the wheel as he turns into corners to add to the realism there.Things get a bit sketchier from thereon out, but you can find lots more discussion on Xbox forums, while screenshots and cover artwork hint at graphical improvements. But beside all that, what would you like to see in PGR4? (Apart from Slitherlink.)



Why does it have to be so pretty.. but so far away :(

Looks nice, talking about it in 20 years seems a bit of an exageration tho!
