Bizarre ends their PGR4 support, no more DLC

Posted May 8th 2008 1:30PM by Dustin Burg
Filed under: News

Bizarre Creations' own Ben Ward hopped onto the official Project Gotham Racing 4 forums to address questions regarding any planned PGR4 DLC. And, sadly, we got an answer that we weren't prepared to hear.

Ward informed everyone that Bizarre has handed the PGR4 "reigns" over to Microsoft and confirmed that "you won't see any more PGR4 DLC from Bizarre Creations". Though, Ward did leave a minuscule possibility of future PGR4 DLC being released, but it would have to come from Microsoft. Poor PGR4 DLC, we barely knew you but the time we shared was and forever will be some of the best gaming moments of our life ... rest peacefully.

PGR4 Valentine's DLC is waiting for your love

Filed under: News, Xbox Live Marketplace

Just a reminder for Bizarre fans that today, racing out of the XBLM gates, is a pair of previously revealed Project Gotham Racing 4 DLC downloads including some paid and some free goods. First up we have a 400 Microsoft point Premium Challenge Pack which includes an additional seven new cars, three new bikes, a new World Challenge Mode that adds 20 new chapters, a new Tourist Mode and ten additional achievements. It's what we'd call DLC that's "packed full of fun". The other piece of PGR4 DLC is the free Challenge Pack which is comprised of a 2007 Peugeot Flux racer, the new Tourist Mode and the Cat and Mouse Mode that didn't quite make the cut last time free DLC was offered. Both packs are available for download off the XBLM right this moment, just be sure to buckle up and watch for deer. We wouldn't want anything to happen to you on Valentine's Day.

PGR4's Cat and Mouse mode missed the update

Today, PGR4's title update released to the masses allowing gamers to race it out in all new tournament modes. Which is all exciting stuff indeed, but Bizarre Creations had another gametype that was supposed to be included in the title update, but it was late to the release party.

In press materials that were sent out, Bizarre's community lead Ben Ward mentioned a new PGR4 Cat and Mouse free roam gametype that was to be included in today's update. Though, soon after, we received another email retracting the Cat and Mouse release saying that it didn't make it into the new update, but "will be rolled out in a separate update in a few weeks time". So, no Cat and Mouse today, but at least you'll have something to look forward to in a few weeks time. Plenty of time to stock up on catnip and Cheez Whiz.

We just received word that Project Gotham Racing 4 is getting four new (and integrated) tournaments that'll allow the best PGR racers to show off their skills and be recognized.

Available as a free download tomorrow, November 15th, PGR4 players will have access to four new tournament modes including Daily Tournaments, Super Saturday, Simulation Sundays and Global Cup. Each tournament has different rules, ways to qualify and number of entrants all of which are conveniently outlined for you after the break. And what do you get if you win one of the tournaments? Instant leaderboard fame, that's what! Winners of each of the four tournaments will be featured on the leaderboards with the monthly Global Cup winner getting his or her gamertag posted on PGRNation's homepage. Check out all the competitive tournament deets after the break.

Welcome to another wonderful edition of X3F Achievements 101.

PGR4 and F.E.A.R. Files demos land on XBLM

Posted Oct 9th 2007 9:45AM by Dustin Burg
Filed under: News, Xbox Live Marketplace

Two new game demos hit the XBLM this morning, adding a little bit of speed and a little bit of fear to the Marketplace. The first demo comes from our pals over at Bizarre Creations and is the critically acclaimed Project Gotham Racing 4. Weighing in at a rather hefty 1.27GBs, the demo includes three racecars, two bikes and features an exclusive Nürburgring Snow Challenge and an exclusive Arcade event. Oh, and the PGR4 demo is available to all Xbox Live locales, w00t, w00t!

F.E.A.R. Files: Extraction Point is the other new game demo and clocking in at 585MBs we presume it to be a single player mission-o-fun that F.E.A.R. fans the world around will enjoy. Funny thing is that the demo is only available to US and Canadian Xbox Live members ... so maybe the world around can't enjoy it. Both demos are available for the free on the XBLM right now, so get your download queue on and give 'em a whirl.

GW Waves not on XBLA, Bizarre has other plans

Posted Sep 26th 2007 3:15PM by Richard Mitchell
Filed under: News, Xbox Live Arcade

Sure, we're all sad that Geometry Wars Waves will be forgoing Xbox Live Arcade in order to be an exclusive mini-game in Project Gotham Racing 4, but we all have the same nagging question: why, Bizarre Creations, newly acquired subsidiary of Activision, why? In a recent interview with Eurogamer, Bizarre Creations community lead Ben Ward gives this answer, "It's because we had plans for Live Arcade, but Waves isn't it." According to Ward, Geometry Wars Waves isn't really being designed as a full featured sequel to Geometry Wars Retro Evolved, but more as a simple mini-game. Waves is "an Easter egg" as Ward puts it, "not a full retail product." So there you have it folks, Waves may be an exclusive to PGR4, but Bizarre isn't done with Xbox Live Arcade. Hey, maybe when they create their next XBLA game, they can slip in a little mini version of PGR.

PGR4 features eco-friendly race mode

Posted Sep 18th 2007 5:30PM by Richard Mitchell
Filed under: News

Our partners in crime at AutoblogGreen -- just like Autoblog, only with more miles per gallon and fewer emissions -- have discovered that Project Gotham Racing 4 is set to feature a very interesting racing challenge. Part of the game's invitational series of races, the challenge is called "Electric Vs Petrol Showdown" and allows players to "take the wheel of a two-seater, silent, electric sportscar (the Tesla Roadster) and face-off against a gas-guzzling, noisy, mean machine (the Ferrari Testarossa)." For those that don't know, the Tesla Roadster is reportedly a damned impressive piece of kit, boasting the ability to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in about 4 seconds. The environmentally friendly super car can also travel 200 miles on a single battery charge. The best part, thanks to PGR4, is that you won't have to spend $98,000 (base price, mind you) to try one out.
