PGR4 soundtrack listing

By Tom Bramwell Published 14 September, 2007

Plus details on Proj title music.

Bizarre Creations has detailed the 57-song soundtrack for Project Gotham Racing 4, due out exclusively on 360 from 12th October.

PGR4 is also fronted by an exclusive song written and performed by The Prodigy called Shadow, which plays on the various menus and over the credits.

Cleverly, the sound team isolated little loops of the electronic track and made it so that entering a new menu initiates a slightly different phase of the song, giving you the sense of progressing through a tune rather than just listing to a jingle on repeat. It's like Rez for menus, innit.

What's more, if you stick around on the main menu for long enough without doing anything, the game just starts jamming, spitting out variations on Shadow with gay abandon.

Elsewhere on the soundtrack, there's a familiar mixture of various genres and styles, and the game will allow you to switch playlists off and on by genre, or individual song within a genre playlist, so if you don't like hip hop but do enjoy a particular song, you can make sure that stays in the mix.

It's all part of a push to avoid having people race in and opt for custom soundtracks - although this being 360, that is of course an option.

For more on the audio side of Gotham, as well as all the other sides, watch the site in the coming days. The full track-list follows. Apologies for typos if there are any - the bloody train is swinging from side to side whose bright idea was that.

    @BBIAJ

    Amen brother

  • Der_tolle_Emil #13 4 years ago

    Certainly better than what Forza 2 or Burnout are featuring.

  • Darren #14 4 years ago

    I hope Bizarre get the sound mix right this time round, I found that the music in both PGR 2 and 3 was totally drowned out by the sound-effects whereas it was spot on in the first PGR on the Xbox...

    Looking at that list... well I don't recognise 99.8% of the songs but there's always a custom soundtrack so it doesn't really matter what the music is like really. :)

  • Beano #15 4 years ago

    PGR4 soundtrack?... who cares, on the 360 I usually use my own soundtracks in racing games anyway. Satriani FTW :)

  • Darren #16 4 years ago

    I like to listen to Way Out West and Fluke while I drive... in games that is, I don't drive in real life!

  • Lebowski #17 4 years ago

    Lady Sovereign? Lily Allen?


    Cancels pre-order.

  • kissthestick #18 4 years ago

    Lupe Fiasco?

    interesting..

  • MENTAL1ST Verified Senior Software Engineer, Picsel UK Ltd. #19 4 years ago

    Microsoft Game Studios have no clue how to license music for games. Compared to the almost iconic track selections in Gran Turismo, and at least thematically consistent track listings of Burnout, all of the Gothams and Forzas tracklistings have been shite. It's almost as if they're an advert for using custom soundtracks! Microsoft's own driving games are certainly the only ones where I feel the need to use that feature.

    Metropolis Street Racer had such great, original, music, too. Perhaps it's time to knock all of this licensed music nonsense on the head and get games studios to hire musicians to write tunes specifically tailored for the game experiences again.

  • Putty-Man #20 4 years ago

    To be fair thats a pretty good (or should I say lengthy at least) listing, but custom soundtracks are always gonna be preferred, especially for driving games.

    I will listen to these for a while, but your own music collection residing on you MP3 player is always going to be bigger, and more to the individuals taste.

    Thats exactly what I was thinking too actually, its a bit annoying hardly hearing the songs whilst driving in PGR3.

  • d0bbo #22 4 years ago

    Bloc Party are always in these kinds of playlists. That's a good thing.

  • passajked #23 4 years ago

    Squarepusher!! Sweet :)

  • Carpathian #24 4 years ago

    120 Days ? Get in!

    That's a FTW track if ever here was one - top choice \o/

  • Burnt-Kona Verified Senior Artist, Full Fat Productions #25 4 years ago

    OOO, Covenant, Insekt and Pride & Fall :)

    It's a fair point that many users will prefer to use a custom soundtrack, but maybe the tracks available in PGR4 will expose people to music they may not of heard otherwise. And that's probably how they approached the record labels when it came to track licensing.

  • asphaltcowboy #26 4 years ago

    Wolfmother, awesome!

    I like the PGR soundtracks... I don't necessary like all the styles though, so it's great to be able to switch easy at a touch of the d-pad!

  • Dezm0nd #27 4 years ago

    Massive prodigy fan here, glad to see they're not forogtten in the public eye.


    Bring on PGR4 just so i can hear this wicked tune.

  • IINickyII #28 4 years ago

    Never heard of any of them, besides the classical stuff. Modern music sure does suck ass.

  • Darren #29 4 years ago

    Shame PGR 4 didn't have a classic 80s soundtrack... I loved that about GTA Vice City... the 80s were sooooooooooo cool. :)

  • M_Spitz #30 4 years ago

    The Prodigy? Good to see they've got their fingers on the pulse :-(

  • woodnotes #31 4 years ago

    "Lady Sovereign? Lily Allen?


    Cancels pre-order."

    Custom soundtracks then, plonker.

  • souljacker2000 #32 4 years ago

    The Prodigy were amazing in their prime, lost their way a bit would b nice to hear what this track was like

  • AtomicBanana #33 4 years ago

    The prodigy track is in the pgr4 trailer on MP. AS for the rest? Well I always turn the music off after about 5 minutes anyway.

  • miiiguel #34 4 years ago

    I liked PGR3 soundtrack..., Queens of the Stone Age; Radio 4; Chemical Brothers; New Order; Morrisey; Audiobullys; LCD Soundsystem. I liked it better than the Rock/FM fiesta that was Burnout Revenge.

  • The-Bodybuilder #35 4 years ago

    Based on that list, it's custom tracks for me.

    Not interest in all that indy/pop/rock milarcky.

  • The-Bodybuilder #36 4 years ago

    >"Metropolis Street Racer had such great, original, music, too"

    So true.
    Not a fan of dance music, the main music theme for MSR is a classic and perfectly represents the game (and was so different at the time, compared to all the rock tunes all the other racing games used).

  • homerramone #37 4 years ago

    Not one artist I like - Custom soundtracks it is then (so no change there)

  • JackyB #38 4 years ago

    miiguel. Little sister was a great track for driving to

  • souljacker2000 #39 4 years ago

    @Jacky B

    I have to agree.. shame the rest of the album doesnt have the same affect in your own car.

  • Der_tolle_Emil #40 4 years ago

    Prodigy sadly never had any good albums besides Fat of the Land. FotL however is one of the best albums ever released, I still listen to it from time to time and it still hasn't become boring.

  • citizenHUNTER #41 4 years ago

    Urgh, Ruby can fuck off...

    Although I personally switch off the music during races (annoyingly in PGR3 this also meant it vanished in the menus too.. separate menus and in game audio volumes please!!). I just can't concentrate the same if it changes from a good track to just something you're not in the mood for, then by the time you change the music you've lost 'the zone', so no music is better for me, plus I need the audio feedback especially to help drive better.

    Semi related but my god am I bored of Forza. It's great in terms of the driving but the career mode is a huge drag. Someone needs to do something about continually racing anonymous events selected in a bland selection screen and just make it more engrossing, more alive, and far more realistic and believable in terms of the events you're taking part in etc. And no I'm not quite sure how that is to be achieved but they're the game designers, not me. At least Forza has stopped me from desiring a PS3 since the only game I want on that is GT5 but I cannot deal with endless shit races and upgrades. Roll on something good like GTR2 (on Xbox EVER???)

    PGR4 for the arcadey yet well handling win!

  • JunoBlaster #42 4 years ago

    Buy PGR4. Insert disc. Enter Options menu. Ban Rubyrubyrubyruuuuuuby! Enjoy game.

  • SomaticSense #43 4 years ago

    Get rid of the metal/punk shit, and add in some Hybrid, Ils, or Way Out West (best type of sounds for this type of game, imo) and the soundtrack would be the best licenced game soundtrack ever. Well, maybe second to the Wipeout games.

  • ruckus #44 4 years ago

    As long as I can switch it off in game I don't care.

  • Hypnopedia #45 4 years ago

    @IINickyII

    >Never heard of any of them, besides the classical stuff. Modern music sure does suck ass.

    So, because you have never heard of any of them (and thus I would venture never actually heard/listened to any of them) then they suck ass. Brilliant.

    I hate the taste of Iguana's.

    Not that I've ever tried to eat the aforementioned lizard...

    +1

    Mind.In.A.Box worth a listen too, and fit the bill for this type of game perfectly.

    :D

  • FlamingCarrot #46 4 years ago

    VNV Nation would be a good add..

  • miiiguel #47 4 years ago

    On the other hand..., its Achievements seem quite fun, although the one one's supposed to race/win 4 members of the development team in one race is probably unreacheable. I can be wrong though, as I haven't got a game which has those 'viral' Achievements yet.

  • SomaticSense #48 4 years ago

    Not checked the achievements list, but it has those stupid 'beat the dev' ones?

    Fucking hell. How many people are actually going to have the chance to even play even one of the devs, let alone play a whole bunch of them at the same time, AND beat them? Who the bleedin hell thought that was actually a good idea?
    Edited by 1 at 14/09/07 @ 15:54

  • Baggies1879 #49 4 years ago

    @ SomanticSense

    You can also get the achievement by beating any player who already has it.

  • miiiguel #50 4 years ago

    yeah, "viral" Achievement...
    Mental note: "Share with fellow EG'ers if you get it"

  • cyber_nicco #51 4 years ago

    I really don't want to listen to music during a driving game. It might be entertaining and all, but it's just one more distraction from the actual driving, and I don't think anyone drives quite as well with it on... I know that sounds really elitist, but I think it's true.

    Of course, perhaps most people are just trying to have a good time, and unlike me, don't always care about that tenth they lost in a turn...

  • NinjaWilliams #52 4 years ago

    I'm just bung on MSR tracks and perhaps sum Gran Turismo 1 (Japanese) tracks, followed by some Outrun - there a perfect mix of racing music! Evybolly's appy! ^_~
