Formula Racer Gets Skid Luck Message
Russ Swift, UK's top stunt driver, was hired by Microsoft to burn a good luck message with skid marks onto the parking lot of Battersea Power Station for Formula One racer Lewis Hamilton.
Swift created the Project Gotham Racing 4 stunt with a sports car, a motorcycle and three sets of tires. The end result: a 50-foot Go Lewis, meant to cheer Hamilton on for this weekend's Brazilian Grand Prix.
Hit the jump for the full press release and unfortunate Freudian Slip.

PGR4 Goes Gold, RACING To Store Shelves
Despite E3 rumors that Project Gotham Racing 4 would see delays, the game has gone gold and will hit store shelves on October 2nd. And hopefully beyond the potential bonus of Bizarre Creations freeing up more resources for The Club, they'll find it in their hearts to make another Fur Fighters. Because let's admit it, even though cars are kind of a big deal, there's more money made in cute kitten posters alone than all of Ford and GM profits combined last year.
The truth is a cold, kittenless void, isn't it?

New PGR4 Screens
Project Gotham Racing 4 is less than a month away so Microsoft decided that now would be a good time to ship out a batch of new screenshots all taken with the game's Photo Mode. Hey, did you realize you can view pics captured in Photo Mode in 3D by using a standard pair of red and blue glasses and turning on the 3D glasses cheat? I had no clue.
New batches of PGR4 screens are expected every Thursday until the game's release, we're told.

Nothing Says Concept Car More Than Xbox 360 Dashboard
See that? Look closer. That's an Xbox 360 in the dashboard. You're looking at the winner of the Peugot International design comeptition 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!

Bizzare Talks Disc Space and PGR4
Hmmm, this seems an interesting lesson in spin control.
On July 27, a Bizarre Creations staffer posted on their forums that the upcoming Project Gotham Racing 4 won't have day and night versions of their tracks in the game because "Whilst this wasn't a problem for our dev team, it was a problem fitting all this data onto a single DVD. So we've worked around the problem by providing different lighting models per city."
Seems pretty straight forward, right? But when people sorta went quasi-ape-shit pointing out, rightfully so, that perhaps the medium (DVD) is holding back the game, Bizarre Creations cranked up their spin machine and issued a response under the befuddling headline "Wrong end of stick been grasped?"

Being a big fan of PGR3, despite being a lousy driver, I was definitely looking forward to Project Gotham Racing 4. The addition of bikes was cool when I heard about it last week, but didn't seem like anything totally revolutionary to me. But if you take the bikes and combine them with all the changes to the game engine, PGR4 seems to be changed just enough so that people who have the previous version will want to grab the new version as well.

The PGR3/PS3 Stupidity Continues!
You must be joking. Just last Thursday, we posted the second time Xbox 360 exclusive Project Gotham Racing 3 was used in a PS3 promotion. What's more, we hoped that someone was dumb enough to do it again. Someone was! Dutch magazine Mediamarkt is using the Microsoft published PGR3 in a PS3 article. (Below is the sourced PGR3.) This incessant Project Gotham Racing—PS3 crossover is starting to creep me out. What is it about this game and this console?! More »

PGR Used In PS3 Promotion... Again.
Remember when Xbox 360 game PGR3 was used to promote PS3 title Gran Turismo? Boy, that was embarrassing! Hate to have something like that happen again. And somebody to get in trouble, too? Horrible. Thank car manufacturer Kia, because it has happened again. The automobile company's Spanish website is running a promotion the compares driving a Kia to driving a Ferrari Enzo on the PS3. (Ha!) Thing is, the license plate clearly says PGR on it — That's an exclusive Xbox 360 game, published by Microsoft even. When will they ever learn? Not before somebody can pull a hat trick, I hope!

Kotaku reader Marcelo turned us on to this Reuters piece, detailing the upcoming Brazilian launch of Microsoft's Xbox 360. What I thought was going to be a run of the mill launch in a territory that no one cares about... oops, I mean is largely ignored... turned out to be an eye-opening bit of news. More »

Peugeot Covering Up PGR Boneheadedness
Earlier, we reported that French car maker Peugeot let it slip that there was going to be a Project Gotham Racing 4. The surprising bit wasn't that there's gonna be a PGR 4 (duh), but that Peugeot had presumably announced this via a design competition on its website. The winner's design would appear in the yet-unreveiled Project Gotham Racing game. More »

Japan Gets New 360 Bundle, Cheaper Games
Since launch, Microsoft has only offered a 39,800 yen (US $342) Premium pack to Japanese consumers. Looks like The Land of the Rising Sun is getting another choice. Microsoft Japan shoved a press release in the ol' Kotaku mailbox, saying the company will be offering a Core Xbox 360 bundle, starting on November 2nd. For 29,800 yen (US $256), consumers will get the console, a wired controller, Project Gotham Racing 3 and NINETY-NINE NIGHTS. Also on November 2nd, the company will be offering a special "Platium Collection" for 2,800 yen (US $24) a piece, which is more than half of what new games go for. The five titles in the collection include: Need for Speed, Rumble Roses XX, Every Party, PGR 3 and NINETY-NINE NIGHTS. Shortly after these reduced priced games and new system pack hit stores, 100,000 PLAYSTATION 3 consoles will go on sale. With PS3 numbers scare, Microsoft's betting (and hoping) it can ski in Sony's wake, picking up new customers along the way.
