Dès la ligne de départ, Project Gotham Racing® 4 vous plonge dans une expérience forte en émotions où vous vous attachez à vos carrières, profils et véhicules. Plusieurs nouvelles fonctionnalités reflètent cette dimension émotionnelle, la plus significative étant le nouveau mode carrière.

Préparez-vous à être adulé par des fans de plus en plus nombreux qui vous acclament, réagissent au moindre de vos faits et gestes, et vous accompagnent jusqu’à la victoire. Imaginez les cris de la foule alors que vous passez la ligne d’arrivée avec un style et un flair bien à vous.

- Environnements hors piste augmentés: sur les trottoirs la vie prend une autre dimension à votre égard. Des fourgons TV sont partout et les appareils photo sont vos amis. Ils porteront votre logo, onduleront votre drapeau national, et réagiront bien plus à vos actions. La modélisation de la foule ainsi que ses réactions sont nettement revues à la hausse.
- Les voitures apparaîtront encore plus belles et rutilantes et qu'une option permettra au joueur de créer son pilote de manière très personnalisée.
- Simulation des intempéries augmentées : un des nouveaux dispositifs dans PGR est le temps. Bizarre Creation en utilisant ce qu'il aime appeler "Intempérie Extrême", utilise ce système pour faire plus juste le ciel, les nuages, les nuances etc... Perfectionner les éclaboussures de pluie, les gouttes d'eau voyagent maintenant en dehors des pneus, et en vue interne, les essuie-glaces se déplacent et les pare-brise se gèlent.
- Choix des voitures accru : PGR4 livrera un ensemble de véhicules beaucoup plus large, s'étendant sur différent millésime tel la Corvette Sting Ray, Maserati 250F ou encore l'ultra moderne Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano.
- XboxLive : PGR4 possède de mystérieux système de création de session de jeux.
- La vue interne : Bizarre a deux améliorations principales. Vous verrez maintenant les conducteurs bouger en tournant suivant la direction du virage ou en brandissant leur poing après une victoire. Les effets spéciaux mettront la pression dans les moments principaux : vous obtiendrez un effet de secousse lors des vitesses élevées, et votre vision se brouillera après avoir heurté des murs.
- Un contenu plus riche: on nous annonce également, un plus large panel sur le contenu, comment la présence d'environ une dizaine de ville.
- Dans PGR 4, les Kudos ne sont pas qu'une question de style. Comme toujours, c'est avant tout la collection de Kudos qui motive la prise de risques ou les heures passées dans le mode Drift, aussi bien en caisse qu'en moto. Pour ces dernières, un nouveau mode 1 on 1 Superstar permettra d'ailleurs de partir à la chasse aux Kudos de gratter le maximum d'étoiles en enchaînant les combos de figures, dans la limite de temps impartie.
- PGR On Demand : la nouvelle Gotham TV, le joueur pourra notamment consulter et envoyer ses ralentis, montrer ses photos, renommer et sauvegarder les clichés qui lui plaisent, mais aussi voter pour les photos des autres utilisateurs, de façon positive ou négative. Le pourcentage d'appréciations et le nombre de téléchargements seront affichés, pour établir un Top 20 des photos les plus encensées.

- Clear: A normal, sunny day. Your cornering will be sharp, assuming you have the skills.
- Overcast: There will be lots of cloud cover, but no change to your vehicle dynamics.
- Light Rain: A little drizzle, but nothing to change your driving style too much. The track surface will be slightly slippery, and you'll find that too much gas will lead to your backend sliding around more than usual.
- Heavy Rain: Lots and lots of the wet stuff. Your visibility will be reduced, and you'll be peering between frantic windscreen wipers when using in-car view. Deep puddles form around the track, and should be avoided at all costs.
- Wet: The aftermath of a heavy rainfall. Clouds are still brooding in the sky. The track is wet, but the puddles are dissipating and everything is slowly drying up.
- Storm: Danger time. Rain, clouds, thunder, lightning. The sky is black, and your chase camera will be obscured by heavy rainfall. Keeping your car on the track will be difficult… but racking up the sliding Kudos won't be!
- Light fog: A slight haze rests over the city, giving a slight reduction in visibility. It does not affect vehicle dynamics, but stay on your toes and don't let any corners creep up on you.
- Heavy fog: A huge cloud descends over the track. Visibility is severely reduced, and finding your way is difficult. On some tracks you can drive uphill and rise above the fog, so use this opportunity to scout out the route below.
- Icy: A really, really cold day. Puddles are starting to freeze over, so watch out for them. You'd be silly to go out without wearing a bobble hat.
- Snow: The track is icy and slippery, snow is falling from the sky, and all the puddles have completely frozen over. You'll need to drive slower and avoid the icy patches; even if it means straying from the racing line.

One of the most appealing new gameplay elements is the dynamic weather system. Now racing through a track can mean facing an unexpected rain storm or snow flurries in the middle of a race. This results in changing physics when powering around a corner on the wet or icy surface in Shanghai and St. Petersburg or any of the game’s 10 other locations. So, if you think driving on a dry track is boring…

Weather changes won’t be the only element that brings added excitement and challenge to the game. Flair and driving style will now be just as important as technical skill, as players passing their opponent at full speed will pump their fists and exhibit more emotion as they earn recognition with the revised Kudos system. The Kudos will be worthwhile too, because the new A.I. personalities will be able to perform bold new driving maneuvers as they race side by side with other drivers.

Photo Mode is once again returning to the “PGR” franchise, with all the features you’ve come to expect – and a few new ones as well. Not only are new effects available, including noise, wobble, tunnel, and vehicle blur, but there are also special new filters including the 3-D glasses “cheat.” Enabling new feature this will render your photo mode screenshot in 3-D, so using a pair of red and blue glasses will put your photos into a whole new perspective!

Photo Mode is also more tightly integrated into gameplay than ever before. PGR On Demand – our new online server technology – allows you to download the photos you want, when you want them. For example, want to see Ferraris racing in Macau? No problem. Want to see a Kawasaki in a snowstorm? Just search for it. PGR On Demand also allows you to vote on public photos taken by other players, meaning that we will finally be able to see who’s photo grabbing skills are truly the best in the world.

The brand new Arcade Mode takes place over several different chapters, each of which has several events contained inside it. Each chapter is themed to a particular driving discipline. For example, "Catch Me If You Can" is all about competitive racing against over drivers, whilst "Drifto 101" consists mainly of drifting and Kudos type events.

The aim of Arcade Mode is to race each event, and earn medals in each. Steel medals are awarded for novices, right up to Platinums for expert players. Also, the Arcade Mode in PGR4 is split into two, one side for cars and the other for bikes. There are 108 medals available in total.
