It seems like just yesterday that we wowed over PGR3’s lush visual package, and now PGR4 is set to raise the bar once more, with an official release date for October 2nd in North America.

While we already know that the game contains some of the most impressive water effects to date, it’ll be interesting to see how the rest of the changes hold up — most notably the addition of motorcycles to the mix, which had a rather weak showing at this year’s E3.

If you’re not content with a virtual countdown until the game’s release, Bizarre Creations has also let loose a few new additions to the vehicular roster, which you can check out after the break.
