Split-Screen: "Microsoft may be ending 2009 with only one high profile exclusive for the XBox 360: Forza Motorsport 3 from Turn 10 Studios – but the year ahead looks ever more hopeful. It seems that the 360 will have two more exclusives to add to it's stable. Ironically enough, in a year that sees the release of the much awaited Gran Turismo V for the Playstation 3, these two 'confidential projects' could very well be sequels to established racing franchises."

It was one of my most anticipated games ever, with a concept years ahead of what Forza Horizon could achieve. But it remains one of the buggiest launches of a game I can remember, completely tarnishing my memory of it."

Such an underrated game, the only problem I had with it was the car physics on anything more powerful the a Golf GTI. But to me this was the original Forza Horizon
Koku writes: "Microsoft is keeping shush about the future of the franchise because of the attention Forza 5 has received, they have been working with third party developers to revive the PGR franchise. Microsoft has also renewed the Project Gotham Racing trademark. You may recall from the article posted on Develop, they were interviewing many European developers in hopes of finding a studio that will work on the next game in the series, well they have found un-announced developer and are waiting before they make any announcements."
It's about the damn time. I like Forza but it's been turning into a call of duty yearly release garbage. I can't complaint forza 5 turned out well but the 2 forza games before were garbage.
Dude are you nuts? Forza 4 was almost as good as Forza 3 Ultimate and Horizon was something completely different. F5 is easily the worst.
You obviously havent played Forza because from all indication Forza 5 is the worst of them all!! Forza 3? Forza 4? Are you serious? Forza 4 is the shit!
I thought Forza 4 was a bit redundant, but Forza Horizon was a very cool way to use the Forza engine. I had a blast driving around that area of Colorado in an Aventor.
I would like to see a three year cycle.
Year 1: Forza the pure racing sim (aka Forza 5)
Year 2: Forza Horizon the racing sim set in an open world.
Year 3: Project Gotham Racing
Cinotix you're blind or you haven't played Forza 3 or 4. Forza 5 is ok for about a day but it feels so routine. Does anyone else think they could have had more tracks in different parts of the world. I feel short changed when it comes to Forza 5. Oh well hopefully PGR 5 feels the void.
pgr2,3 AND 4....so many hrs spent and so much fun had on xbox live with this game!
Aw man bring back PGR, Forza can kinda boring but PGR is probably my 2nd best racing series behind Need for Speed all time.
Hopefully the hardware won't hold it back again. Remember this back in the day? http://spong.com/article/13...
The Kudos system! That's all I'm going to say, being rewarded for drifting the whole time. The soundtrack was one of the most enjoyable things to me about the game as well. Loved it all. :)
I hope this is true! Would be awesome having a new pgr on the X1. Hopefully more information trickles out regarding this rumor.
@Ziriux
I agree with you, I like Turn 10 and I think they do good work, but they already have Forza and Forza Horizon. If this rumor has any truth to it then I wonder what development team will be tackling pgr. As long as they keep it stylish, fast, and fun then it will be Kudos to them!
I'm glad Turn 10 is not going to work on the game, I think same developer working on two racing franchises is waste of a resource and can be bard to focus on two big projects and produce quality at the same time.
I thought the company went belly up though, but damn that is some great news indeed.
Do we really need another SIM racer? We need more racer like burnout ...before that garbage burnout paradise
I'd probably call it more of an arcade racer over a sim. Games like Project CARS, Assetto Corsa and Gran Turismo are sim, Forza as well but less so.
No, Games like Project CARS and Assetto Corsa are sim Grand Turismo and Forza less so.
PGR is hardly a SIM racer, it's pretty arcade, I would say it's only a SIM in regards to the cars actually being licensed vehicles but in it's mechanics it's arcade.
Does anyone else agree with me that the tracks are much better and more alive in PGR than the forza games? Please don't let me be the only person to think that.
Project Gotham isn't close to being a Sim. The game is about driving luxury sports cars around the inner city, power sliding as often as possible... It's not realistic (simulation) at all.. It's just a lot of fun.
AAA games are best not-played.
Project Gotham Racing would be much appreciated .
it would be a bit optomistic if we didnt expect that lol
lol halo racer or something.
The betabox can't produce AAA games. Only fires :P
