Does the weather change dynamically during a race, or is it set before the race begins?
Ward: It changes dynamically. You won't see massive changes like bright sunshine to a snowstorm in five minutes. Of course it won't happen in real-life, and it would just look silly in a videogame with such realistic cities. However, you can expect to see changes like light rain to a heavy storm, or a frozen icy morning to a full blizzard.
The longer races in the career mode are actually scripted with this in mind, so you might be racing a six lap one-on-one which ends in a blizzard, meaning that you need to concentrate even harder as the race goes on. Of course that's a particularly cruel example, but you get the idea.
In PGR3 you could get your hands on the best cars rather quickly. How are you changing car acquisition in PGR4?
Ward: This time around vehicles are unlocked with Kudos. The further you progress in the Career mode, the more Kudos you earn. With this Kudos you then unlock vehicle packs on the cool wall, as well as other cool stuff like gamer pics.
That's not the only way to earn vehicles though; sometimes you'll be invited to special manufacturer invitationals... if you succeed you keep the prize.
