It's Official. PGR 4 is Delayed.

As reported earlier today, there was rumor of PGR 4 being delayed. XF has just learned that it has been finalized. There is a delay. The new release date has been changed to October 2nd or 3rd.

[THC CELL]

thats a shame

I hope there removing the bikes

[TriggerHappy]

This is going to be big, am not a racing fan so it does not really affect me.

[JokesOnYou]

with Forza2 released only a few months ago and having huge sales combined with plenty of demos and Bioshock release next week are you sony kids seriously acting as if a two week delay is big news, nice try, this is just a sign of how desperate sony kids have begun, poo-ray doesnt have shiii to play and the online stuff is weaksauce and every game is delayed= delaystation, ha ha sony kids your desperation is growing= blame sony

JOY

[sjappie]

The games delayed for ps3, that we had so much fun about were multiplatform, coming out a month, two months after the 360 version. Now that's fun! You get to play games after are finished with them. It's not the same as when an exclusive game gets delayed two weeks.
It's interesting that you fail to see that difference yourself, I think the joke's actually on you.

[cookiemonster]

I didn't even know when PGR4 was coming out in the first place. It hasn't been delayed by much. Still coming out before the holidays.

[Gamespot-equals-EGM]

As long as PGR4 comes out during the holiday season, who really cares.

But if it were Bioshock or Halo 3 that would be a different story. But Oct 2nd, 3rd isn't too bad at all.

[Anything but Cute]

Another XBOX 360 delay. Seriously did this game really affect things? This game reeks. It's a really weak franchise. Even the most hardcore XBOX 360 fanboy would agree. Not loosing out on much here.

[sticky doja]

Do you honestly think Rockstar are not going to develop anymore on other systems?

[Ignorant Fanboy]

We have games to play while we wait. You have no games to play while you wait. So your right, this doesnt matter at all.

[novaIS350]

They have consoles while they wait, while you guys are waiting for your consoles to get shipped back from MS. I kid, I kid.

[Mr Murda]

PGR gets knocked all the time, but I think it's a lot of fun. No, it's not a realistic racing sim, but it's not supposed to be. It's all about fast cars with challenging tracks, and bad ass online play. If anything the PGR series is underrated. For a racing game the graphics and gameplay have always been above par.

This delay isn't that big of a deal for the 360 or Bizarre. There is plenty to keep our attention til' this delay is over, and we're still playing Forza and DIRT (both great games in their own right).

For real though, I haven't bought a PS3 game since Motorstorm. I am WAITING! Damnit!

[progx]

Douchebag, ps3 has had way more delays then 360. Enjoy waiting beyond.

[IQUITN4G]

PG4 is class and has a huge following.

[sjappie]

but I really liked PGR3, it was so much fun, especially online. I can't wait to play PGR4 so I'm not too happy with this delay.

[marionz]

delayed on 360 = a little bit longer to get the game perfect

delayed on the ps3 = sh!t how do we make this fcuking game work!

and for those ps3 fans that b!tch about this game, go look at some trailers, textures and weather effects rain on cars, all look awesome and probably couldnt be doen on ps3 with the memory restrictions

ahhh im so bizy with good games like bioshock! trust me a delay is no problem!

[Anything but Cute]

I'm sure they will bring more Table Tennis, Midnight Club, Bully multi platform. Just that the real good stuff will be on PS3 first.

[Tone]

What you on about, this game is going to be fun, looks good and reeks of class :D

[sticky doja]

But they didn't even state how they found out? Or any credible source that confirms the delay.

[batman2million]

oh no! what will MS ever do!? This September seems hopeless! what game will the xbox 360 have if there is no PGR 4?

oh thats right..halo 3.

[hotshot1237]

this fall. i bet they knew it wasnt gonna come out but told everyone that so they could boost sales only to get people to get the system. and people make jokes about ps3 delaying games but dont ever look at 360. call me a fanboy or w/e because i could really care less. im gonna say what ever is on my mind. so take bubbles, add bubbles, agree or dissagree, make fun of me or not. microsoft tells lies to but just in a cover up sneaky way. i dont care but someone has to speak the truth

[jay3]

What is this, like, the only game that's been delayed for 360?

Aside from GTA of course which is Sonys fault.

Youre the liar dude.

Get over the fact that 360 fans have stuff to do, and look at these comments, no one is that desperate for this game. This story to fans is just a "Well, would you look at that?" kind of thing.

[kn]

Um, October is still fall. And this delay is rather short in the grand scheme of things. I wouldn't be surprised if they pushed it later to avoid stepping on Halo toes. Regardless there are so many good games this fall on the 360 I'm going to have to get a job as the wal-mart greeter to pay for the extra games. Oh, snap, you already took that job.

[ryanjtravis]

I'm no fanboy (I have a 360 and a PS3) but that comment about the Wal-Mart greeter was completely hilarous. Very funny stuff man - have a bubble. :)

[jay3]

Meh.

I was gonna get this if i could, but i don't think any of us are severely disappointed, got tons of other stuff anyway/

[Double-Edged]

I'm broke as it is...

and to be honest....

in my personal whatever... I'd rather have this game to be a christmas present than any other 360 game...multiplatform or Exclusive.

Kudos

[Meus Renaissance]

No PlayStation 3 owner can say here anything other than "Welcome to our World"

[DrPirate]

Now you have a taster of what it's like on the other side :(

If only goddam warhawk and heavenly sword would just get here :(

Like someone said, at least you guys have demos and things to do while you wait.

Also, too bad for PGR4, but I suppose in the end, it's all to make a better game.

[supaet]

makes perfect sense, this is a marketing delay...

look, since october is no longer owned by gta4, what's the point of publishing two high profile games in a single month when one of them is halo?

this is perfect for microsoft gaming studio.
august: blue dragon
sept: halo
oct: pgr4
nov: mass effect
dec: lost odyssey.

how doesn't that make the perfect sense? sony owners are so pathetic...try to be more unbias...please...

[Imknow1]

You forgot Bioshock :D

[San anto]

im guessin the 360 owners wont really care about the delay.

[redsymphony]

delays meh!!! most great games are delayed, delays for sony and nintendo is normal nothing new

[PS360WII]

Yea it's not the end of the world. To thoughs knocking on this game I'm not to sure about that. While I am not a big racing fan a few of my friends only play racing games and they have nothing but props for PGR. However, while a delay is always looked bad upon it's still a good thing for it only means they are improving on the game

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

Project Gotham Racing was delayed into 2008. So don't say it's a marketing delay.

[supaet]

I can't believe the great ps3 have pathetic supporter like you.

delayed to october, where the hell you come up with 2008?

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

it's gonna get delayed again.

[supaet]

yep, so will every ps3 game.

Looking forward to play ff13 in the next decade, you can screw your avatar now.

[Morbius420]

Go play on your DustStation. A$$wipes like you are what turned me off on the Sony brand to begin with.

[Whoooop]

or pushed back to a 2008 release..

IMO 360 owners had enough of car racing with Forza 2 (some are still playing it) for this year.

I know PGR is going to sell, but a good amount of people will spend their money this year on other games like HALO, Madden, Bioshock, masseffect etc.

So I think (my opinion) that if they move PGR to december or even 2008, that should give 360 owners a chance to save some money and by that time forza will be old and a good racing game like PGR4 would be good to buy..

my opinion I could be wrong.

Nothing I wrote matters though, because they delayed the game till october sooooo who cares???

[Morbius420]

But by 2008 Burnout will be out. Why do they need to space games apart anyway? I think most people can and will buy more than one game a month. Gaming is an expensive hobby.

[Tone]

People will be playing Forza 2 for a long time to come on live... simple as that :)

Am looking forward to PGR4 and the delay is no biggie.. 2 weeks or so, wow.. nothing to even break a sweat over!

[Jack Bauer]

it was delayed till early october...from what? a mid september date?...you people act like it's the end of the workd for the 360 ...it was delayed 2 weeks lmao...the PS fanbots shine again.

[tudors]

Playing the bioshock demo.

[Whoooop]

to actually take time to login to N4G, look for this news and post that..

If you were that busy, you wouldn't post here in the first place..

Enjoy the demo.

[MaximusPrime]

ha now xbox360 get a delayed game.

too bad. too bad.

[zonetrooper5]

Oh well, it got delayed by a few weeks, funny how sony fanboys already food this news post. The bikes and the cars look awesome, great racing game btw, just don't hate on it because your a fanboy.

[ParaDise_LosT]

"The only difference is,We have games to play while we wait. You have no games to play while you wait. So your right, this doesnt matter at all. "
What he said :P

[Marceles]

As long as it's not delayed until July '08 like GT5, I can wait. There's already enough good games coming out for the PS3 and 360 as it is. This'll give my wallet a little break as it is.

Madden, Bioshock, Blue Dragon, Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, Lair...I just bought my 360 elite 5 days ago, my wallet is exhausted

[djt23]

this is good new to me

[DrRage77]

its funny how sony fanboys are jumping all over this as if the delay has pushed this game back to 2008, like a majority of all the "great" ps3 games they are still waiting for....PGR4 is delayed until October 2nd or 3rd of THIS YEAR....it has been pushed back less than ONE MONTH...lol wow, how in the world will we ever cope with this long delay??? hey, let's compare the number of games delayed for the 360 vs the number of games delayed for ps3....

keep laughing all you delaystation3 owners!!! LOL

[Jack Bauer]

i dont recall a date ever having been given....

hypotheticaly:

if the said Summer 07... it would be a 10 or so day delay.........................

if they said september 07... it would be a 2 to 3 day delay........................

"OMGZ im a Sony Fanboy and PGR was delayed by 2 hours...omgz the 360 is screwed, the 360 will fail...the PS3 Double Pwns all, woooooo."...thats what you guys sound like.

[vgchica]

The date is mentioned in the full article. I agree it's not like it's a huge delay like GTA IV, but there was a date mentioned.

[bootsielon]

Another GT clone.

[sjappie]

PGR and GT are two totally different games, everybody, except you, knows that. If you don't know what you're talkin' about, please be silent.

[FirstknighT]

Damn this sucks for me since I love PGR! :(

Oh well...I guess I'm stuck playing Halo 3, Bioshock, Mass Effect, Madden (60fps), etc... :)

[BIadestarX]

Wait a second... I know this game was delayed... and i see all the Sony fanboys going up and down of joy... but the game was delayed until when... next year? NOPE!

"The new release date has been changed to October 2nd or 3rd" ahhh ahahaha!

"its funny how microsoft was hyping up all these games that was supposed to come out" you mean all the games that were going to come out "THIS YEAR"? that like less than 1 month delay.... they obviously did that.. so they can market the game well.. and to prevent Halo 3 from overshadowing PGR4 launch....

Besides, xbox 360 gamers still have Forza 2.... you sony fanboys shouldn't even be talking.. what do you have? Motorstorm!? ahhhhhhhh ahaha. And worst of all you are not getting anything in this department until what.. next year?

[Kyur4ThePain]

The fact that Sony fans also have delayed games?
That's what you're thinking when you go to bed at night?
Not the fact that PGR has been delayed, but the fact that other games for another console are delayed?
You really are sad, my friend.

PS - You need to be careful when talking about "sony fanboys"...you do realize that the majority of them haven't even purchased a PS3 yet, don't you? There's a lot of demand out there for the PS3 that has yet to be realized.
Unlike MS who abandoned the XBox, The PS2 is still VERY much alive, with GREAT games still rolling in faster than any other console.
MS has already capitalized on all their original XBox customers.

So, they actually have a lot to look forward to.

[Universal 08]

hey Kyur4ThePain, the only reason Microsoft left the first Xbox is because with the 360 we can actually pay for our systems, unlike the majority of Playstation owners. Since the PS3 costs so much that is why the PS2 is still there.

[Gamer13]

Still a nice date.

IM OUT...///"""

[Schmitty07]

As long as I get it this year.

[JIN KAZAMA]

should actually be called PGR3, because the first PGR3 was just PGR2, with a little updated graphics.

[Optimus Prime]

That was a very intelligent comment by Jin.
No wait nevermind, that wouldnt happen.

[InMyOpinion]

He probably believes 2pac is alive as well lol!

[nobizlikesnowbiz]

Such an dumb turd.

[Bill Gates]

Don't worry XBOTS. M$ has decided to undo the delay by givin you ROBOTS the game on one disk. The catch is that the cars will only have rear wheel tires only, in order for the entire game to fit on ONE disk. The front tires will be available as DLC for just a small fee of $3.99 per tire......AAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHHAHH A

[sjappie]

you DOUCHEBAG. Off course you have lots of time to make this stuff up, when was GT coming out again? Oh, somewhere in 2008. Well, keep em coming sport, it has great entertainment value. That's why I never ignore people, you dweebs are just too funny.

[jinn]

no, i'm not talking about PGR4, i'm talking about all these delays of anticipated titles. as long as burnout paradise is on track it's cool. just imagine halo 3 to be delayed. lol

[nobizlikesnowbiz]

Yea you would practically nut yourself if H3 was delayed huh?

[Lex Luthor]

Oh well..... More time for Bioshock and Halo 3 =) =) =)

[Boink]

without PGR 4, what will sony use in their advertising to promote their next racing game???!!

lolz;)

[toughNAME]

hahaha
nicceee i forgot about that

...theyll just ignore you tho

[Zhuk]

it's delayed like what, a few weeks, no biggie

[Genki]

I certainly wish there were some more level headed individuals on this site like yourself. Bravo on putting some unscrupulous characters in their place.

[nobizlikesnowbiz]

He reaks of more bs than a mexican toilet.

I dont think he put anyone in their place.

[toughNAME]

i thought the PGR4 release date was november?
haha yay release date moved up!

[s8anicslayer]

it's gotta be because of harddrive issues

[tomfoolery]

coming into this site and seeing Sony-only fudge-packers getting
pwned by 360 fans.....classic.

[Fighter]

Gran Turismo Prologue will destroy PGR 4 any day and anytime.

[sjappie]

but not any day or anytime soon, that's for sure. By the time GT comes out PGR4 is an old game.

[power of Green]

With those painted boards for tree's?.

[Ghoul]

ALmost every thread in here turnes out like the paralympics

No matter who of you fanboys win in the end your all retarded

[SuperSaiyan4]

Is unique there is no other racer like it and its fantastic however PGR3 was quite a let down but PGR4 is looking awesome and guess what...

Its Xbox 360 only!

Thinking about it what arcade racer has the PS got that is exclusive? NON only GT that is supposed to be a SIM.

But wait with all that power in the PS3 Sony can't even offer damage with GT5 what gives?? I mean doesnt blu-ray have enough space??

Those cars in GT5 look awesome but are they actually rendered by hand? No again lovely photographs put into the PC and automatically rendered photo realistically hence why no damage because its cheap and easy.

Forza 2 might not be the best looking racing game ever but for what it offers in terms of a TRUE Sim its the best SIM out there.

Anyways looking forward to PGR4 in October then at least when an Xbox 360 game gets delayed its IMPROVED unlike the PS3 where games when delayed end up being WORSE.

[slak]

pgr4 is hot

[InMyOpinion]

Is it coming this October?? I thought it was due next year.

[Lex Luthor]

I think the reason why it was delayed was to fill the void in october that was left by GTA4.

[sak500]

Even a month's delay is not bad considering what ps3 owners have to face. NOw that the date for GT5 is being touted at 2009, wow thats a long time.

[deepio]

Why so much fuss? A 2 week delay is no big deal!

[gta_cb]

no worry, i didnt even know the first release date lol, it will prob be a good game, and they say good things come to those who wait.

[ironwolf]

but truth is, I didn't know it was due that soon anyway. Should be a hoot though; I really enjoyed the last one.

[nobizlikesnowbiz]

Same general feeling among 360 gamers - "Wow, kinda sucks. But I've got half a dozen other things on my list before PGR4."

And some Sony fans had the nerve to talk about delays...

[OutLaw]

I have full payment on this game but I was going to get rid of my Forza today, lucky I didn't.

[Drewminati]

GTA was delayed til next year. They probably need another big title to hold down october since halo 3 has september..

so it's cool with me

[solidt12]

They should delay it even more and put more in the game since Forza 2 just came out a few months ago. There are too many game coming out this fall and it might get lost in the crowd.

[SuperSaiyan4]

There is NO other racer like it on any other platform, it will not get lost anywhere.

There is a huge PGR fanbase and me included, looking forward to this game.

[Says you]

Grand Turismo has a way bigger fanbase than that game and oh before you say that alot of the games are coming in 2008 ah thats actually a good thing because all of the games are coming all at once for the PS3 and plus you XBox 360 fans dont really have exclusives when the so called exclusives that you guys thought you have are actually coming to PC like Halo 3 BioShock and how can Project Gotham Racing 4 be unique considering its just another racer like Grand Turismo 5

the only games seem not to coming to PC that are real exclusives are racing games so I guess the PS3 is the only one that is truly exclusives so call me back when you guys actually have exclusives and not the ones that are also coming for the PC to.

[TheFamilyGuy]

Lol, the PS3 fanboys are like raving lunatics right now.

Hatchetforce: "Well Jokes on you, it looks like you can dish it but you can't take it. It was all fun and games when PS3 titles were delayed. Now the shoe is on the other foot and you are having a fit. I love it."

This is just delayed a few weeks. People dish it out on PS3 games because they get pushed back to 2008.

[MoonDust]

OMG. That's like a entire month? lol.

[jcgamer]

I'm buying...

[id dot entity]

Well, with BioShock I won't be able to play any other game before October so it's just good news for me.

[ChanDangle]

Meh why does it matter when you have forza I never really liked pgr due to the fact that when you race online you have barriers for the track and use them to go faster or people playing bumper cars.

[Foliage]

So the xbox development is delayed once again for another game. I bet the PS3 is blamed here as well.

[mcgrawgamer]

to spread your AAA titles out so that all can sell good, but any delay in my book is a bad delay. You got a lot of people waiting on this game. Just don't put a date out until your ready for the game to drop.

[TheMART]

Can anybody tell me

The new release date has been changed to October 2nd or 3rd.

What the releasedate was????

I thought it was coming 9 October... SO for me its getting early then!

It's not a 2 days delay again RIGHT? Because then I laugh @ the poster of the news story
