pgr4 intro video looks amazing: get ready to race!

The gang over at Gamersyde shot this video showing off the beginning of Project Gotham Racing 4 for the Xbox 360.

After looking at the gorgeous in-game screenshots that Microsoft released the other day, I was starting to get excited about this upcoming racer. Now that I’ve seen the video, I think Gran Turismo 5 should be watching its back.

While I’m sure that racing sim fanatics will espouse the wonders of GT5’s realistic driving models, I’ve always been a fan of the slightly more arcade-y feel of the PGR series. Besides, I’m a sucker for great graphics, and this title sure looks like it’s got plenty of those. Sure, it’s possible that this intro wasn’t done in-game, but if I know Bizarre Creations, you can expect the game to look nearly this good anyway.
