I know, but that doesn't make it any less true.
I would like Playground to do something along the lines of Dirt and rally type racing. The Rally pack for Horizon was great, and I would like to see something built on top of that. I'm not really a fan of open world racers, although Horizon was great.
But I guess your idea definitely makes sense, I would just prefer something different from Playground.
Didn't Playground keep bragging about the number of different surfaces they have in their game?
I don't see even more drastically varied environments as being out of the picture, if not already in the cards and they used the Rally expansion/early concept work on FM4 as a basis. TBH I hope they choose a wider range of environments for the next game too, and move further away from basing it on real environments and create their own from the ground up.
What am I, chopped liver? Lucid first responded in GAF (and on Facebook, lolz) because of a post I made in the PGR appreciation thread
What have you done for me lately..?
Maybe they could revive the Rallisport Challenge franchise.
Lately I was banned :/

I would love it, but that will not make sense. Rally games are important to Europe only (there is not enough interest in US) and even so the peak of Rally games are all over years ago.

Interesting information gathering, can't wait till April when we get the announcement and see if it's true.

Lucid is not owned by Microsoft and they're free to develop for any console they want to. That doesn't mean they're not working on a game for Microsoft.
Yeah I know that, but didn't think they were that large of a developer to be working on two next gen projects. I thought they were a smaller sized company.
They have worked for Sony before on the PSVita app Travel Bug. They have ported games to Onlive, Sony could ask them to do it for their service. All small scale stuff.
It is one of the reasons I believe they will be doing more of the design side and Rare the techical aspect for PGR.

Just having PS4 devkits doesn't mean that they are actively working on a PS4 game. Perhaps they're just exploring the platform, especially if they plan on developing their own multiplatform tech one day. Being an independent developer, they stand a better chance of landing deals with third party publishers if they can develop for all platforms.
Well isn't the rumor that they are working along side Rare and maybe even Turn 10 for the game?
Yeah, I was under the assumption that the list was for developers actually making games for the ps4. But who knows, they may just be working on smaller scale games like Oddone mentioned.
We need more leaks, April is too far.

It's probably the list of companies that have applied to become licensed PS4 developers, not necessarily the list of developers who have access to the devkits. I don't know how Sony could have a way of knowing which of those would already be in full production of PS4 titles, and the list being revised not long after it was initially published is also suspect, but as you said, only time will tell.

OXM, VG247, X360A, Meristation to name just four. Seems it started hitting a lot of the sites a few hours ago.
Search PGR5 neogaf with the parameters set to past 24hours, the list of sites reporting on this thread/news is slowly but surely growing.
VG247 have an article. Kind of annoying really, TheOddone does the work the journalists should be doing.

They would rather spend their day being snarky on Twitter.
Maybe they could revive it and as well as having a normal Dirt style rally game they add a more crazy rally mode similar to the Group B rally stuff from the 80's (but they could use modern cars) with narrow roads, spectators on the track and lots of crazy turns and jumps.

I think WB Games still owns that IP, their logo showed up on the logo page for Hurricane.
This may be something, this may not be something. But I think it may be further confirmation that good is happening at Lucid if the guy who was Lead Designer on Wipeout HD, Pure and Pulse is "busy":
(was also assigned to "Racing Project" at Bizarre prior to closure, so could well have had a hand in whatever was behind that footage of the Audi driving on the side of a building)
FWIW I didn't go seeking this out deliberately, I was just doing some random Twitter meandering and found it. Seemed like it might be at least a little useful for this thread!

Ha ha, you thought I bumped because I found something...
But seriously, now that the ability to play offline is 'confirmed', i'm back in business.
I'm back baby!
Bring on PGR and Forza!
Now, when the fuck are we going to find out something concrete regarding PGR?
C'mon detective Shaneus and TheOddOne gimeee something...

Microsoft leaked damage control info to some blogs yesterday. Apparently you need an internet connection for the media services and set-top box stuff (duh), but games can be played offline and used games are also playable.

Yeah, I was just reading up in that thread now. Sounds pretty promising, especially considering it means we'll have Geometry Wars 2 for ever and ever
If you have some form of Xbox 360 hardware, yes.

Damn, for one glorious moment i thought there was new information out.
I guess this is what it feels like to be cockblocked.

We'll force you to do a live stream of you playing Kinect Sports 3 for 24 hours straight.
No pressure.
