Forza Horizon - General Discussion

This has taken me by complete surprise..

HUH?

Well there was a lot of talk about 'Forza World' so maybe this is it. Although, that is a lot of Porsches

It looks like some sort of TDU-esque Forza..

Perhaps Turn 10 are separating the Forza franchise into two with alternate year releases? Forza Motorsport to concentrate on Motorsport, and Forza Horizon to concentrate on car culture?

This might help eliminate all the pointless car porn from future Forza Motorsport releases. And I welcome it!

Plus, I loved TDU, so I'll love Forza Horizon if it does take on a TDU-esque form.

TDU + FM = Win!

Playground Games has been on a rather large recruitment drive which resulted in them being "filed" by Codemasters back in 2010. Codemasters assumed Playground Games were aiming there sites on them as they "Playground" were making a new racing game.

Codemasters had named a total of 15 former employees in its legal challenge against Playground games. This new game was offered to Microsoft and Sega some time ago.

Playground games have completed there recruitment drive so are now and have been operating with a full house for some time.

The trailer I think is incidental in knowing that Playground are making a racing game and have been for a good few years now.

All I can hope for is that it's actually a good racing game that works well, doesn't cost to much and isn't plague with problems :-)

32 days!!!

Wow...I wrote about this on the forum weeks ago and nobody noticed! Thanks to my games industry insider knowledge, had seen the developer hiring for it.

this could be a huge fake scam lol

So what are we expecting here... The Ability to pay for haircuts...?

A central repository of tunes paints and marketplace etc but with two different games plugged in and sharing these

website now a sole page, and a very unconvincing picture...

I am not convinced...

TDU + FM= Great Success!

Agreed, doesn't look as half as professional as the actual forza site

TDU1 was the sole reason i got XBL. met guys from TDU:Central (did alot of cruising around Oahu with those guys), and got wind of the next Forza game. signed up to ForzaCentral, and now im here. combining TDU & Forza would be Epic

It's a real project, these are the developers:

http://www.playground-games.com/index.php

They were hiring for car modellers, and physics programmers a while back.

I'm pretty sure that the Guildford-based studio "Playground Games" are working on it (the stealth-mode project title I've heard is "Forza World"). Perhaps why New York and other street circuits were taken/kept out of FM4. (They're currently hiring for several positions relating to a "AAA title", including a Vehicle Livery Artist and a Car Handling Designer - http://www.playground-games.com/careers.php).
