Snow will definitely be everybody's first novelty, I think. Hopefully it stands true for fun. :)
Kudos whore extraordinaire.

Ben wrote:Heavy Fog: A huge cloud descends over the track. Visibility is severely reduced, and finding your way is difficult. The nice thing about PGR4's fog is that it's not just a static effect though. It actually has a height and depth, and can be patchy. In one of our unannounced cities, the track goes into the mountains and out from the skyscrapers. You'll pull up and above the fog, and be able to look out over the city and see the tops of buildings poking through the grey.


Nice revision. ;)

new balancing staff at Bizarre, to supplement our in-house test team.


The Wallenda family?

...and we haven't even mentioned our other secret new feature yet.


Doppler radar?

I chose Storm, even though its all looking amazing I hope this does not hinder the gameplay to which I mean the feedback on the controller, its a big issue for me that vibration on the feedback on the road is reflected also on the weather conditions you are driving in.

If you feel Forza 2 vibration you know what I mean - I hope with the added weather in PGR4 it doesnt feel like PGR3...

I voted for "Snow" (hahaha I almost wrote "snot" :shock:) because I think it will be the most fun to race in, but as for visuals... I'm looking forward to the fog, the snow and the storm expecially for the photo mode.

You had better have LOTS and LOTS of different lightning bolt shapes or the photos will all look very boring.

Looks and sounds amazing! :D

I can't wait for this.

Are we going to get the Nurburgring video (over on IGN) in 720p soon? (probably next week now!)

I voted for storm, but snow would be my second. I agree with you about having lots of different lightning bolt shapes, without it the photos would look boring. I think that the storm and heavy fog conditions will be great for cat and mouse games, especially heavy fog!
