Even though the Evolution racer won't have the GT name, Sony can still help that game out in terms of sales by including GT6 demo (kind of like GT HD Concept) with it. That'd actually probably do a lot more for it than having the GT name tagged on it.

So... Is there any chance that Rare could be involved with the 360 racer?

Since may 2011, they've hired 15 devs(roughly 10 of them from Codemasters) with experience from racing studios.

Was the water racer rumour debunked?

Good point there, but I think having the GT name tagged onto it would do wonders for sales, since it's already an established brand name.

He wasn't talking about WipEout :]

... And 2048 is a great WipEout game.

1. WipEout HD/Fury
2. WipEout 2048
3. WipEout Pulse

That's my "podium" anyways.

The unfathomable decision to not include customizable controls means it's the only Wipeout game on a Sony console I haven't paid money for.

So do we know how Lucid Games got the money to form the studio, just wondering if Microsoft kicked in some dough for them ...
Click to expand...
I'm not sure how it worked back then, but all this reeks REALLY strongly of what MS did with Crackdown 2 and Ruffian. MS wants Crackdown sequel, Ruffian was formed from ex-Realtime Worlds staffers and... something something Crackdown 2.

I just hope that if a new PGR is on the cards and Lucid is heavily involved... it doesn't turn out to be the series equivalent on Crackdown 2.

Lucid has been active for two years though.

Crackdown 2 was extremely rushed. Only 1 year in development if I'm not mistaking.

Yeah it really makes no sense. It would be so smart for them to expand the brand but PD works In a bubble in this industry.

So, to all of NeoGAF's racing-game gurus...could you lend your thoughts in a little prediction time please?

I'd like to get your predictions on when you think we'll see a new Burnout game for Durango/Orbis, and what you think about the future of that franchise...

Personally, playing Burnout on PS3/360 online with a ton of friends was some of the most fun I had in a racing experience this gen, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what's coming next.

They did already post about "What would you like to see in Burnout Paradise 2", and the thread generated numerous pages of "fuck off with open world"...

They're in an interesting predicament, and they're still on a bi-annual release schedule. It'll be interesting to see who's delivering a NFS this year.

I don't get why PD has final say. Sony owns PD, Evolution, and the IP, right?
Click to expand...

Because Sony gives them say over it. That's why you didn't see Team ICO stuff in PS All Stars. They aren't the only company that does that. The Monster Hunter team wouldn't allow any MH characters to appear in MvC3.

If MS brings back PGR what does it mean for the a Forza Horizon follow up?

Will PGR replace it? Maybe they will go to a 3 year timetable with a main forza game, PGR and forza spin off trading off years?

Like i said before not sharing the GT branding is kind of understandable but if they dont at least share car models then Sony need to put a foot down and tell PD to stop acting silly.

Why would they do that when they can sell the GT6 Demo as a concept/prologue and make millions?

Forza Horizon looks just about photorealistic as is. I honestly cannot imagine how good a Forza or PGR would look on the 720.

If the game is good, where's the problem?

Forza Horizon is one of the best racers I've ever played.

And it got visibility from borrowing the brand name (and car models and licenses).

PD could do the same.

It's kind of like Metal Gear Rising. It's a full-on action title from Platinum with a MGS skin. The game gets visibility and the brand expands with a worthy new gameplay. Everybody wins.

Yet they still are hiring.

Someone mentioned that most of Team Liverpool went there, I think. Could be mistaken. There were definitely plans to do something of the sort put in place a while ago though:

I understand not agreeing with it, but I don't see how it's silly. It would be a spin-off from a popular brand and get more exposure off the name alone.

No, I'm sorry, it doesn't make sense.

Having a separate series featuring the same brand is a good thing, if the game is good and handled properly. Of course they wouldn't call it "GT: the real driving simulator arcade". They need to come up with something unique that helps differtiate the new IP while still using the same brand name.

So you're dismissing games like Horizon and Rising just because they're not from Turn 10 or Kojipro?

Even though they supervised or at least helped during development?

It's crazy.

I think the demo idea from earlier was great, gives you the GT name on the box as well (plus they could say, play this game unlock exclusive xxx car in GT!) . I just hope to God they share assets.

Anyway, thinking about it I would love if this game had a Feisar ship as a secret unlockable. Similar to how Forza 4 had the Warthog, but drivable. :p

Was this posted? The Tourist Trophy designer was at Sony Liverpool so maybe moved to Evolution?

Fantastic news! I was wondering where he went. dress was the last game that I heard he had a hand in. Anyway, the story behind TT's development is pretty amazing

Tourist Trophy has long been a dream of Nana-san's, who first presented the original design document to Polyphony Digital studio head (and father of the Gran Turismo series) Kazunori Yamauchi several years ago. Yamauchi was immediately in favor of the game, but when the window of development time came, Nana-san was informed he would have a mere 10 months to bring the game from concept to actuality--an incredibly short cycle by Polyphony Digital standards. That short cycle meant that Nana-san would need to focus his efforts to make sure Tourist Trophy met the tight schedule.

Gran Turismo is not Need for Speed. Sony shouldn't latch GT's name onto another racing game just to get it recognized. Polyphony didn't even do that when they made Tourist Trophy. They could've easily done that, but they didn't because it wasn't Gran Turismo.

That's basically the same size as Polyphony.
