Xbox360 Project Gotham Racing 4

Na ich hoffe, dass es nicht so wie mit Rallysport Challenge geht nachdem EA ja DICE gekauft hatte.


Und oh lol wenn Turn10 das jetzt machen soll dann kann ja nur scheiße bei rauskommen :lol2:
 
Am 12. Oktober, also? Irgendwie sagt da jede Seite was anderes. Laut Amazon.de erscheints ja schon am 5. Oktober, Okaysoft sagt 11. Oktober.
 
Sowohl planet-xbox.de als auch xbox-archiv.de schreiben beide 12. Oktober, und auf der offiziellen Xbox Site stehts ebenfalls. Wird also stimmen. ;)

Bizarre hat großes vor...
PGR On Demand

And you guys thought we weren't using any new tech...

Thursday, September 27 2007​

PGR4 is the first in the series to not have to worry about launching any new kind of technology. With PGR1 we were there at the start of the original Xbox, PGR2 was one of the first big games on Xbox Live, and PGR3 was a launch game for the Xbox 360. This time around we've been able to sit back and think "what makes a great game?" instead of wrestling with technology!
The good news about this is that we've been able to really push the feature list into the stratosphere with PGR4. Motorbikes, dynamic weather, a new single player career mode, a huge stats website, an online party system to keep your friends together, an iconic vehicle set, a new online career mode, etc.
​
We've also had much longer to get the game balanced... with PGR3 we had about 3 weeks to get the game playing how we wanted it to play after the tech was up and running. With PGR4 we've had bikes and cars together and working for over 6 months, and cars on their own for way over a year. This means that the game is tighter, the difficulty slopes upward more gradually (with less spikes), and the platinums should never feel too easy (or too hard) for the pros.
So gameplay enhancements only are the order of the day, right? Well not exactly. Our guys couldn't resist taking advantage of some brand new technology for PGR4 (hey, it's Bizarre!), and that's where PGR On Demand comes in.
Back in the days of PGR3 we had Gotham TV; a service which allowed you to watch online races live, as they happened. This was one of the big new elements in PGR3, and it certainly was incredibly popular when the game launched. Thousands of people used Gotham TV to learn new tricks, make new friends, and be humbled by the best racers in the world. However, as the game got older people started to use Gotham TV less and less. When only the pros were left, they tend to race the same kind of races over and over... in this case it was F50GTs around Tokyo until the end of time. That's not the most enjoyable thing to watch as a spectator, and thus Gotham TV lost some of its sparkle.
​
With PGR4, we wanted to keep everything that was great about Gotham TV - the sense of community, the TV style presentation, and cutting edge tech running it all - but the objective was really to make it more accessible for everyone. How could we let people watch what they wanted, whenever they wanted?
The answer was PGR On Demand: a brand new service which allows you to upload and download a variety of content including ghosts, replays, and photos. You access it directly through the main menu of the game (just pick "PGR On Demand"), but it also pops up from time to time in other places too.
​
The service itself is run by a new technology called the "Content Server". PGR4 is the first and only game to use it so far, but considering the tech is now part of the overall Xbox Live spec you can bet that other titles will follow our lead in the future (just like you saw with Photo Mode uploads, Gotham TV, online tournaments, etc.). The content server itself allows players to upload and sort various pieces of content, and then recall them in a way they see fit. For example, want to see a replay of Enzo Ferraris racing in Macau? No problem? Want to see a photo of a Kawasaki in a snowstorm? Just search for it.
PGR On Demand also allows you to vote on public photos, meaning that we will finally be able to see who's photo grabbing skills are truly the best in the world. Voting is easy... just browse the content server and hit the "vote" button when you're ready. Random photos are also pulled into picture frames in your garage, and voting is available here too. When the racing gets too much for you it's possible to just wander around checking out your vehicles, inspect your trophies, and even vote on a couple of photos on the wall.
​
Overall we're hoping that PGR On Demand, as well as the updated Photo Mode, provides the community with some much more effective tools to demonstrate your creativity and skill. Ultimately though, the success of the service depends entirely on the content you guys provide for it. I don't know about you guys, but I'm really looking forward to seeing what you all come up with!

MS feuerte Bizarre:
"Before its recent acquisition by Activision, Bizarre Creations had already been told by Microsoft that it would no longer be used for the development of future instalments of the microsoft-owned PGR series - thus ending a close working relationship and presumably prompting Bizarre's eventual sale.

According to a source within Bizarre who cannot be named (such is the way with such things), Microsoft had informed Bizarre that it would be taking development of future Gotham games in-house, before its then owners had decided to put the developer up for sale.

No reason was given for why Microsoft decided to do this, but if it’s true – and bear in mind that neither Microsoft nor Bizarre have commented on this in an official capacity – it certainly adds an interesting twist to the unfolding saga, which has dominated the gaming headlines since it was announced on Tuesday."

Versteh ich net, fand die waren talentiert. Erst DICE dann Bizarre...
 
Okay... es könnte der Serie neuen Schwung geben, wenn sie an 'nen neuen Entwickler übergeben wird. Aber wenn die das versauen, dann gnade ihnen Gott... ich tu's nich... :(
 
Was für neuen Schwung?Noch mehr neu wie in PGR4 geht schon nicht
 
Wer weiß, es gibt bestimmt immer noch lustige Designer, die sich da das ein oder andere einfallen lassen können ;)
 
Was ist nun eigentlich mit der Demo passiert??Könnte es zufällig sein das diese nächste Woche erscheint??Die Halo Woche ist vorbei nun,und der Hype dürfte sich dementsprechend langsam auf normales Niveau begeben
Möchte es umbedingt noch vor dem Release zocken!!Nach der ganzen Shooterwelle,möchte ich jetzt gerne wieder auf eine Racingwelle aufspringen!!;-)
 
Ich befürchte, dass PGR4 ziemlich stark unter dem Halo3 Hype leiden dürfte.

Das Game ist bei amazon.com noch nicht einmal in den Top 100... und das obwohl es am Dienstag erscheint. Das sind keine guten Vorzeichen.

kein wunder, forza 2 kam ja auch nicht vor allzu langer zeit raus

für mich könnte pgr 4 aber der erste ng racer sein den ich mir beschaffe

ich frag mich nur, wie motivierend ist der singleplayer und die karriere?
 
Halo Hype? Also wenn man so die Meinungen der Zocker und Fans hört und liest soll das Spiel eine glatte Enttäuschung sein, Storytechnisch als auch Grafisch. Wundert mich auch nicht, denn schon der zweite Teil war langweilig und insgesamt ist Halo für mich nur ein 08/15 Shooter in der Zukunft.
Bin ja mal gespannt ob am 5. Oktober PGR4 bei Amazon eintrudelt, denn das Datum steht da immer noch.
