In part two, Greenawalt moves on to that other technological hot potato; Kinect. He asks gamers to be patient and understand that Microsoft's motion controller is still in its infancy. But at the same time Greenawalt urges us to demand "surprises" from the top studios when it comes to the little nodding camera."
Ex-Turn 10 employee reveals that the Forza Motorsport division has been closed, with the studio now focusing on supporting Forza Horizon.
Hmm would this mean Forza Motorsport series is dead as we know it? Seems that way. On a brighter note, I'm sure Forza Horizon will go from strength to strength
"I also feel like Turn 10 and the Forza Motorsport series is on its last legs. The newest game in the series completely killed off most of its fanbase."
I made that comment 419 days ago, I knew this was coming.
I wouldn't say all that. I personally feel its been pumped out too much and we dont need another one for awhile. I'd rather than work on a new ip or 2 then return to forza. And considering horizon branch is the one working on Fable if they are making another Horizon they'd need that extra support
I think everyone did. Horizon was just a better game and making two racing games just sort of doesn’t make sense even if one is arcade style and one is a sim.
I think annual or biannual releases are over. The market barely supports annual sports releases anymore
Forza Motorsport is dead too? That was an Xbox pillar. Guess it’s Horizon’s race now.
But isn't Turn10 the lead studio? Develops the main Forza engine for Motorsport that Playground uses it for Horizon?
If true, that makes Gran Turismo the longest running Racing Simulator game on console.
It already was, there had been 4 mainline Gran Turismo games released, plus the concept / prologue games, before the first Forza was released on Xbox.
@RaiderNation
The PSP game launched in 2010. The user you are replying to specified GT games released before the first Forza Motorsport game.
GT i s and was the King of racing sims on conaole ...Forza was and is eating GT's dust from the start....
GT is still undisputed in the realm of consumer-level racing simulation software. Not just on consoles but everywhere that ignores specialized sim racing rigs that typically cost over $30k to make.
If false it makes Gran Turismo the longest running Racing Simulator game on console. It came out long before Forza
Gran Turismo had 4 full games out spanning 2 console generations before the first Forza was released. Gran Turismo 4 was released in 2004, the first Forza came out in 2005.
Developer Turn 10 Studios' changes to player progression in Forza Motorsport should become a standard for the simulation racing genre moving forward.
I don’t get why anyone would post anything Xbox positive on this site. Ballsy though.
I’m not really a sim racing fan so I really don’t know. I love the forza horizon series though so I’m sure I’ll still get hate for saying that lol
@ Ghost
I enjoy the console war stuff as entertainment, but, like what you like and make no excuses. Horizon is Xbox's strongest series at the same time I am shocked that Motorsport bombed this hard.
Ohhhh helllll noooo!!!
It's the worst part of the bloody game, actually ruins it a lot!!
I’ve heard nothing but bad about this game from consumers. It’s weird how the media outlets seem to live the sh*t out of it. I think they maybe don’t have their fingers on the pulse with this one.
During Sunday's Xbox Showcase, Turn 10 Studios dropped a trailer for the next iteration of Forza Motorsport, which it teased back in January.
Or they could do what gt does, content drops monthly with new cars, tracks, races, updates all for free and still working on the next gt at the same time.
Just saying.
Um did you read the article lol
There no gonna work on new games they are gonna make forza live service and just update the same game for who knows how long rather than giving a proper new version every couple of yrs.
Turn10 have a plan to support Forza Motorsport for 10 years. Makes sense and them announcing
that the new career mode has service features built in directly to put tracks and cars in which line up with there vision.
Yeah sure, so many devs keep promising these "service" like games that they can't commit to. Let's see how long they can hold peoples attention before they scrap this idea and just release another numbered game.
Live service LMAO. Like that’s ever been a great idea. Not a single game out there with a live service that’s lived up to it’s original promise. Live service is just an excuse for devs to drip feed content, scrap it after two years and say we are working on the next entry. But hey, it’s all free content so why you complaining lol.
Nah there are successful live service games that people enjoy. Deep rock galactic. FFIV. Rocket League. Etc.. its just when they take beloved single player games and convert them to nickle and dime bullshlaka fests.
Dan Greenawalt again?
I'm glad he's mostly ignored.
kinect is rubbish, its ruined casual games, just look at what rare has become.
no way in hell do i want top studios wasting time with gimmicks like kinect.
We should demand it doesnt get put into any decent games.
isn't that the problem though? don't we as gamers demand the best? were does Kinect fit in with that?
Innovation? Waving your arms around so you can look at a virtual car, don't make me laugh! I'll try out the head tracking when I get the game but if it's as laggy as the videos I'll have that turned off after a minute.
