How crazy would it be for Bethesda to go single platform exclusive for Fallout 4? If MS snagged that it would be huge. With all the problems they had with PS3 I sort of wonder.

I can't believe im saying this because, well, Kaz is Kaz...but I think GT6 is a lot closer than many people would expect. They did say it wouldn't take as long to make GT6 as it did GT5. They made a lot of the assets for GT5 to be compatible and scale to next gen hardware. It's been two years since GT5 launched and it will be three years by the time this fall comes around for the PS4 launch. You gotta think they've been working on the game since at least when GT5 went gold and possibly even before that. It did get delayed a month and a bit which some say was due to blu ray printing issues or the PS3 getting hacked. So, I think they've been working on this for possibly by fall closer to 4 years.
I just have a feeling Sony will do something right for once and get this out at the very least in the PS4 launch window. A GT6 at launch would be massive and Sony should be doing everything in their power to get it done. They need to crack the whip on Kaz. GT5 was amazing but for how long it took them to make it should have been a lot better.

I have no idea. These are just rumors floating around at this point and we know it's a game of chicken as Kaz himself said "why go first?" and now sony is going first. It's speculation and fun... but definitely not a science at this point.
Did not know that. Good pickup by them.
Sony will not play around. They are going to be super aggressive with the PS4. It's about time they got some fire in the belly.
I really hope what GG is going to show is a new IP though and not KZ4. Even a small concept trailer would be nice and I am not too excited about both the racers since I only play GT. I hope we get more non shooter and non racers at launch.

Even if Bethesda get paid, it's bad for their brand as they isolate million of gamers with future iterations. That's why Mass Effect is a defacto 360 exclusive (not counting PC). Exclusive DLC on the other hand...

Call me crazy but I loved PGR more than Forza.

Probably not that crazy. Microsoft and Bethesda are pretty cozy.
You're definitely not crazy.
Both are great, but I always liked PGR's overall atheistic a lot more than Forza.
Theres something about the recent FMs that lack charm, they haven't lasted long in my 360. Horizon was a great game however, I really hope they decide to make another.

Hmm, seeing as there are franchises that are so associated with one console that the sales are pretty lopsided (Mass Effect for 360 and Final Fantasy for PS for example) I wonder if they would just release them on the one console they know it will sell best on at the start of the gen when the install base is pretty small, to save development time and cost.I know it probably wouldn't happen though.

Nothing is impossible but I doubt Bethesda would go that route. Especially considering their problems with the PS3 seemingly won't exist with the PS4 which is a much more 'straight ahead' machine.
Though morrowind was an xbox exclusive (excluding the pc, of course). I always assumed that was because the PS2 wasn't capable enough, but who knows....

I want to believe. in fact, I do believe. it's in the works and it's going to be amazing. god, I hope I'm not wrong. please let it be in the development.
Unless I'm mistaken, but weren't the numbers for 2 and 3 disproportionate (in favor of platforms other than PS3)?

plus evolution god bless them, don't make games which you'd look at immediately and think OMFG AAA+ I want it.
I like motorstorm but yeah:

is the Lucid game called Sky Light? When you point at the picture for their racing game on their website it says Sky Light.
Ohh sorry I misunderstood you.

Received an email from a third party release manager at Microsoft/Xbox (WP8). Should I ask him about Xbox 720/Durango? lol.

yes, yes you should.

This just in. Next Xbox to launch with Super Mario and Gran Turismo. 500 times more powerful than Xbox 360!
I'm not a developer but I'm sure that are dozens of factors to consider:
Overall development cost
Cost of porting to multiple platforms
How much money you are receiving for exclusivity
What the IP means to the company
Estimated sales figures
And, as you mentioned, when (launch of a console)
Mass Effect's sales would be very different if it were a multiplat from the beginning. And hasn't FF switched which platform it's most associated with over the years? It varies so much.
Count me surprised
However, great news if true.
I came when OP has already being shot down, so what are the actual leaks he's talking about besides Evolution game?
Not crazy at all... especially if you aren't into sim racing games.

You're not crazy at all; in fact add me to your list of those who prefer PGR to any other racing game on the Xbox. I predominantly play PC racing sims and PGR's 3 & 4 fill the void between realism and arcade rather well.
PGR 5 made by ex-Bizarre Creation team members at Lucid would see me buy the Durango in a heart beat. Already thinkink of buying the Orbis and anything PGR like would make the purchase even easier.

That would make me very hyped for PS4.
It didn't chart in the US in its opening month, but if UK charts are indicative of its overall performance, it keeps selling steadily, like Forza and GT games usually do.
I don't think its about lacking charm but rather being too serious. FM4 and GT5 shows that they love cars and like to put those into nice locations for photographing and admiring lug nuts. And the actual driving is simulated as best as possibly and it feels fantastic; scary, fair and rewarding. But still, those simulations are lacking the feel of driving mini in St. Petersburg on a morning fog. That fun feeling, where your not only driving on some dedicated racing circuits in serious tone, trying to get better lap times, but rather driving because its fun and you love doing it. Getting kudos for crazy drifts is just icing on the cake, but the main thing is not limiting driving to closed tracts; driving on an open roads and narrow city streets feels so much more inviting.
You're not crazy. PGR is miles better than Forza.

I don't expect the 3rd party exclusives to be a big deal, to me at least. Don't expect anything major on that account. Games that have decent potential and cross-market appeal will be timed exclusive at best I reckon.

a pgr-like game for the playstation would be awesome and with the right marketing it would push racing games again. well, i at least hope that. i also hope, that ms is finally reviving pgr
I'm still wondering how a team of 40 people that mainly work on mobile games, are going to deliver a worthwhile PGR game..
It seems like Turn 10, PG would have to be helping Lucid in order to achieve greatness.
To be honest, I don't want PGR, Horizon and Forza all to feel the 'same'. It becomes a sort of been there done that affair...
As for a Sony PGR, that would be fucking great!
The more racers the merrier I say..

So MS stops making PGR games due to lack of sales or whatever, then suddenly we're getting two at launch? I guess a pretty arcade racer is a nice showcase for a launch console.
Seems like I might be buying both machines at launch in that case, can't resist me some PGR
I just hope they aren't 'Xtreem' and underground, and slightly more down to earth like PGR.

Pgr5 or equivalent at launch would be ridiculous.
I just hope the team is large enough to match the incredible job done on environments in pgr3/4.
Even though that probably means no Sforza 5 at launch, which makes me sad. Then again, this gives t10 more time so we don't end up with another forza2 (loved it, but was also a step back from its prequel in many areas)

Here here.
PGR4 best racing game after Wipeout for this generation.
As for the Sony racer give me Wipeout steampunk version (kind of set in the killzone universe) and you will have my babies.
I could see this happening but for a "next gen" exclusive version. Pubs will still go for it since there's the current gen install base to sell to and it'll help with core sales near launch. I've been expecting Sony to do this for MGS5 and have been trying to guess what Microsoft would do it for. Fallout makes sense.

well sony have their XDev-studio to power up the manpower.
however, the world needs more realistic arcaderacers and sony have real talents there in europe and japan for these kind of games.
micrsoft has turn10 and they are even bigger than polyphony and evolution together, irrc.
That would set FM5 back a while if the case which I don't think is good for anybody lol.

I bet Horizon was pretty cheap to make considering they used the Forza engine and car models, I'd bet PGR will do the same thing. If T10 have already implemented wet handling physics for Forza 5 and providing support in general, I could see a 40-50 man team being able to crank out a launch game.
T10 has two teams, the second team co-developed Horizons with PlayGround...
That's the first time I've heard of that...

That honestly looks next genSo the MS team will be building up on the PGR4 engine? Awesome if true.
