No holiday here in Australia. It’s business as usual. Usual business being receiving release dates for games that are slightly modified than those you’d expect elsewhere. Today, we got word that two of Microsoft’s big first-party releases for the year have got themselves antipodean dates: Project Gotham Racing 4 can be expected on October 11 (9 days later than the US), while Mass Effect is due on November 22 (2 days later than the US). Nine and Two days? Not too bad! More »
See that? Look closer. That’s an Xbox 360 in the dashboard. You’re looking at the winner of the Peugot International design competition winner. The Flux concept design, created by Romanian student Mihai Panitescu, was picked from over 4,000 entries. will get a full scale model at September’s Frankfurt Auto as well as inclusion in Project Gotham Racing 4. Says Martyn Chudley from developer Bizarre Creations: We were impressed with the innovative and the extreme car designs submitted; We hope that Mihai Panaitescu will be excited when he sees The Flux faithfully created on the Xbox 360.
Imagine how Mihai will feel when he sees the Xbox 360… Ah, forget it. Neat design and congrats! More Pics [Jalopnik] More »
Bundling Geometry Wars inside PGR3 was a good move. Bundling another Gemoetry Wars with PGR4, well, that’s also a good move. Bizarre have announced that Project Gotham Racing 4 will include Geometry Wars: Waves, which while being a “new” game is not, apparently, the next “true game” in the series and is based on Retro Evolved. So…newish, then? At any rate, it won’t be available over XBLA (for now, anyway), so if you want it you’re going to need to pony up for PGR4. Exclusive Geometry Wars in PGR4 [Pro-G] More »
Microsoft just sent word that Project Gotham Racing 4 is nearly done, and will be released in the US on October 2 and in Europe on October 14. It’ll go for $US60. Not content with just this vital information, they also sent along a list of ten more cars that will feature in the game, as well as nine more bikes. Which normally wouldn’t excite me, but I’ve got a thing for Aston Martins, so the 2005 Vantage V8′s inclusion is good news. Rest of the new additions are only a click away. More »
