Two "Confidential" AAA 360 Exclusives Could be Racing Game Sequels

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."

Halo dirt derby: finish the race

Don't know what the second could be... By the way...what's with claiming a game as AAA before it's even released. Doesn't anyone remember the Alan Wake situation!?? notice no one even talks about it anymore when before a day couldn't go by without hearing about it. Showing of at e3 was a huge mistake. They need to not make the same mistake with their future releases

Though we all know it's something else halo related

Microsoft has two other AAA racing franchises?! Forza, Project Gotham and what, Halo Cart Racing?!

@ Matt247

That's a Microsoft franchise?! I really don't know. I have never heard of it and I never owned the original XBox.

That's what my first post attributes too, it's like Transformers 2, had a massive budget, you can even call it an 'A' movie budget, but did it suck royal ass? It sure did.

Usually 'Triple AAA' now means the budget factor because you can't play an unfinished copy of the game so that's all we have to assume. It's pretty stupid.

You know what! That would be really fun, playing a Warthog racing game. I love the way those things handle. Its very unique and fun. And for even more fun, you should be able to pack it up with friends and have them shoot the turret. That would be sweet!

Sucks.

I don't care much for racing, since I'm terrible at them.

Would love a 3rd person shooter or 1st person.

a new Rallisport game would be great. It was probably my favorite racing game on the original Xbox next to Sega GT 2002. Also, the fact that the series was developed by DICE (of Battlefield fame) gives me high hopes as to how it would turn out.

I am really hoping for Test Drive Unlimited 2. The first Unlimited was outstanding. They did that island to scale, had all those bikes and cars. Plus you could buy houses and clothes for your character. Sure it was not a sim but loads of fun. And I normally dont like car games that much.

Oh yeah.. Halo dirt derby? Too funny.

So two 360 games, which may or may not exist, are potentially racing games which may or may not belong to established franchises and may or may not be AAA games and may or may not come out next year and we are reporting this as "news"?

Test Drive 2 developers have said that thier game will release 2010 so that's definatly a microsoft timed/exclusive.

These have just as much of a chance being AAA as they do AA. We don't know what they even are..

But your lame ass troll belongs in the Open Zone.. The 360 has had PLENTY of AAA titles and only a stupid ass would deny that.

It says Exclusives. I don't think a new Burnout game would be exclusive to 360 (Paradise was on PS3 and Revenge was on PS2).

Sony owns the IP. There is literally zero chance of Twisted Metal appearing on 360. if a new TM game is made it will either go to PS3, PSP, or PS2.

have more than 2 if they want to catch up to sony. sony has alot of triple a games next year. Heavy Rain, God of War 3, Gran Turismo 5, Modnation Racers, Versus XIII, Final Fantasy XIV, Last Guardian, etc. and you know sony will announce at least 2 for next year anyways, so yeah. they'll need more than 2.

Xbox 360 will have:

Alan Wake, Splinter Cell Conviction, Mass Effect 2, Crackdown 2, Fable 3,Halo Reach, Ninety Nine Nights 2, Nier Gestalt, joy ride, The Secret World, plus these two triple A titles. Xbox 360 still has a fighting chance.
