There was another thread by Sebull which confirmed and said few days ago :Thanks mate, much appreciated.
There was another thread by Sebull which said few days ago :
"J-14 avant 2 GROSSES annonces sur Forza"
"D-14 before 2 BIG announces for Forza"
I followed Sebull threads since one month. I participate in the Hotlap championship of France (Forzamotorsport.fr).
It surprises me that they'd not use the PGR license rather than Forza. Project Gotham World has a nice ring to it. Also, given that quite a number are ex-Bizarre it wouldn't be such a bad thing.
maybe the forza-world thing is something like halo waypoint, but for forza?
Forza currently has better brand recognition, it's probably as simple as that. Turn 10 seems to be involved in some way, too.
What? I was thinking the same thing.
Carrying the Forza name and throwing away everything else could hurt the franchise.
NFS seems to do fine with the arcade games and the more sim-ish Shift titles.
What? Bizarre's closure was on Activisions hands.Just some random thoughts..
I remember when Bizarre had those troubles with MS regarding Turn 10's "favoritism" and such and finally resulted in the collapse of said developer. Something about not being able to sustain two racing devs. .......so why the sudden change now?
Also, I remember that MS had the idea of alternating PGR and Forza every year. One year Forza, PGR the next.
If the game becomes successful, could this now happen with Forza Horizon?

I think the relationship soured because of how PGR4 was handled.Sorry, I meant the split between MS and Bizarre...

I really hope MS and EA resolved their differences and that Porsche is in the game. Not having them in Forza 4 is a big hole that can't be filled.
Wasn't March 2012 the time when the exclusive deal with EA runs out?
I thought it was December 2011. Either way, after seeing the trailer, the 911s in there can't be an accident.
Unfortunately, they can.

A 720 launch title return of PGR5 would be pretty fantastic in my book. Good way to handle bringing back that franchise.Forza World = Fall 2012, probably Kinect enabled open-world simulation 360 driving game
PGR5 = 2013/720 Launch arcade racing game
A 720 launch title return of PGR5 would be pretty fantastic in my book. Good way to handle bringing back that franchise.
But there was also some rumors suggesting FM5 being a 720 launch title.
Job listings indicate that they are moving to next-gen.Rumors or just unfounded speculation? I haven't heard anything substantial, did I miss something?

Cependant une chose est sûre, contrairement à ce que vous avez pu lire ci et là, il s'agit bel et bien d'un jeu complet, et non d'un titre qui sera distribué sur le Xbox Live Arcade.

An information is sure, unlike what you can read on web, this is a full retail game, not a XBLA release.
Donc pour éclaircir tout ca enfin autant qu'on puisse en dire aujourd'hui :
Forza Motorsport et Forza Horizon sont 2 jeux différents, donc on ne peut plus parler de Forza Tout court sur Xbox (pas de jeux XBLA)
Forza Motorsport est développé et sera toujours développé par Turn10 avec un rythme d'un jeu tous les 2 ans comme depuis Forza 1. Donc si on suit ce rythme faut attendre Forza 5 pour fin 2013
Forza Horizon est développé par Playground (qui sont tous des anciens de TOCA, GRID, codemaster,... donc tu bon quand meme) avec tout ce qui fait Forza amené par Turn10.
Donc pas de soucis sur le fait que Forza restera Forza enfin plus exactement Forza Motorsport restera Forza Motorsport et Forza Horizon sera Forza Horizon (on vera en fin d'année).
Donc ca change rien pour FM et pour FH faudra attendre de l'avoir en main pour juger non ? mais de ce que j'ai pu voir ca semble prometteur mais je peux rien dire de plus aujourd'hui.
D'ailleurs c'est pas un trailer de jeu mais juste une vidéo qui montre ce que sera "l'univers" Forza Horizon et donc faudra pas trop en tirer de choses.

To clarify, what we can say today about it :
FM and FH are 2 different games, so we can't say "Forza" anymore (for Forza Motorsport).
Forza Motorsport is and will always be developped by Turn10 with an every-two-years release schedule (Words from Sebull, not official, not developper..) like since FM1. So, by this way, Forza 5 could be released in 2013 (hypothetic).
Forza Horizon is developped by Playground (all of them are veterans from TOCA, GRID, Codemasters... so it must be good) with everything that make Forza what it is.
Forza is Forza, more exactly Forza Motorsport is Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon is Forza Horizon (we will see later this year).
Anything change for FM. For FH, we must wait a hand-on gameplay to have an opinion, mustn't we ? From what I could see, it's promising but today, i can't tell you more.
Also, this is not a game trailer, just a simple video showing the FH universe and there is not much to see.
Thanks Morph, appreciate the input.
If the games are two completely different beasts, then why even have 'Forza' in the title?
Why wasn't Horizon named something else?
Brand recognition, ala halo wars?
Well that sucks for Playground Games doesn't it?
Having poured blood,sweat and tears into your first game only to have 'Forza' in the title and the assumption that Turn 10 are the sole devs of the game...
Wait for what will be announced to the public. then judge!
I did some digging and it turns out they are Porsches, not RUFs in the video. They are from tuner Evo Motorsports (the orange Gumpert is theirs too). Probably means nothing depending on the validity of the trailer.
Like a punch in the face..Wait for what will be announced to the public. then judge!
Like a punch in the face..
So, not a good thing for Forza fans?
Seriously doubt that, even though I believe all this Porsche drama took place due to the launch of the new 911 and nothing more. So in all seriousness, EA and MS could actually reach an agreement that would benefit both.I really hope MS and EA resolved their differences and that Porsche is in the game. Not having them in Forza 4 is a big hole that can't be filled.
Forza Motorsport 5 in 2013. This series will be on a 2 year cycle.
Horizon games will fill the gaps.

meh, i'm not sure i like the bastardization of the brand.
would have preferred an open environment for mmo racing 'add-on' for fm4.
