IGN are reporting that Project Gotham Racing 4 is now in the pipeline. Peugeot have apparently slipped the news out ahead of an official MS announcement. No news of a release date, but the game is apparently on its way…
UK, September 11, 2006 - While news that Bizarre Creations is working on Project Gotham Racing 4 may come as no surprise, the game has recieved a sort-of official announcement over the weekend - but not by Microsoft. Instead, French car maker Peugeot let slip that the game is in development in a press release detailing the company’s fourth design-a-car competition.
In the release - which invites applicants to use their imagination to re-invent the car with six values in mind: Pleasurable (to drive), Lively, Efficient, Accessible, Simple and Ecological, or PLEASE for short - Peugeot announced that the winning design would “be featured in the Project Gotham Racing 4 videogame, only on the Xbox 360.” In addition, the winning idea will made into a full-scale concept car that will shown on Peugeot’s stand at the Frankfurt 2007 Motor Show. The winner will also receive a cheque for 6,000 Euros.
It’s thought Microsoft was planning to announce PGR4 at its X06 event later this month but Peugeot leaked the news first. Microsoft was unavailable for comment at this time.
Note: Please note that this news item has been placed in the Rumours section and as such is probably a load of made up crap. But I like made up crap so am reporting it anyway. Please make up your own minds as to the validity of the story.
