So very, very good. You need to buy it and play it.
Not really, it was sensible to assume that 343i would have different meanings for 'best' AND 'fastest selling', so that article is certainly misleading. There is also still no reason to believe 4's outsold ODST.
Superior to the first imo, especially if you can do the whole game with three friends.
Absolutely nothing at all.

Let's hope so, I'd much rather see Horizon become the new mainline Forza title as I've long since found myself tiring of the mainline entry. It was a breath of a fresh air in an otherwise dank, worn out basement.

Well.
To be clear, when you refer to not outselling ODST, you're referring to lifetime sales, correct?
Why do you believe it hasn't outsold ODST lifetime sales?
It's all but certain Halo 4 has already outsold ODST lifetime.
Didn't MS put ODST at 5.5m WW lifetime a few months ago on that slide?
Halo 4 did around 3m - 3.3m in US Nov, and 1m+ at least in Dec.
UK is at 700k I think?
Not hard to believe WW it's about 6m maybe even 7m (which is around what Reach is at lifetime)

I'd love a XBLA Blast Corps sequel. That game was amazing.

Okay, this is gold. Also love that it's a screen shot.
Lol. This is fun. Enlighten us as to the sales of Halo: ODST.

All it needs now is a dramatic reading on YTMND.
Horizon is not going to replace Motorsport, they were made to complement each other.

Of course. I was merely posting what my hopes were. In any case, if we're getting more Horizon, I don't particularly mind there being mainline Forza entry.

I would totally listen to that. If you don't laugh by "Look at us, Frankie!" there's something seriously wrong with you.

Is there a link to the thread in question? I'd quite like to see the reactions to the post.
Yup, the best part was it was tracking so fast that MS subtly announced it. When they told the world that it past 4 million in 4 weeks.
The info is out there, but if you want to claim I'm wrong (which I'm not) feel free to prove it.
Jesus Christ.
It would be amazing if the next Horizon was a MMO of sorts, with a range of world locales being continually added and refined to keep people coming back. I would spend hours just driving around.
I do. Forza Horizon is a blast. But, it's no Forza 3 or 4. I love both games. Horizon picked an amazing location and I love the feeling of finally being able to reach these incredible speeds on the long long straightaways. But when it comes to sheer graphics, tracks, variety and career mode. It Forza Motorsport all the way.
What Sony's DriveClub was trying to proclaim was new with the detail and getting in the car had already been done in Spades with Autovista. With Kinect you even walk around the cars you have in your garage. Plus no other racer out there has a Warthog in there garage.
I'd love to see what Playground games does in maybe a a couple of years on the NextBox, but I'm all in for a Forza 5 at launch or the year after launch to allow Gotham to get some love.

I now demand this be the direction for Horizon 2. Such an amazing idea and if done correctly, would undoubtedly result in the best racing title ever developed.
I concede that I'm in the minority, but I didn't particularly like Forza 4. It wasn't the sequel I was expecting, each sequel before added new element, new tweaks, etc and yet 4 felt more like a stop gap release. This isn't a slight against the game, I know some consider it the best title in the series, but I found it lacking and so when Horizon came along, it felt like a breath of fresh air and what I hoped would be at least one possible future for the series.
I haven't followed DriveClub as much, but it's surprising to hear they are claiming old ideas as new or original.

Conker or Banjo.
Okay, probably not, but if Rare isn't gonna do it might as well give Twisted Pixel a shot.

I'd like a new Conker, but the IP is for all intent and purposes dead and I can't see it being resurrected any time soon, if ever.
Banjo is more likely, but will Microsoft see any benefit in funding a platformer? Maybe as a downloadable title perhaps?
Ouch.Yeah, I'm bitter.

Ouch.

If the Xbox launched with a full fledged Conker or Banjo, or almost any legacy Rare title (or new IP that is great by Rare) i'd be there day one. I really wish MS would take the 'Nintendo market' seriously on their own system. Stuff like knack and such look so dull.. Ratchet was the last hope for colorful/spirited games with big budgets and even that seems dead now.

Oh wow, that would be awesome.
When it comes to Rare i really want to see a new Perfect Dark sequel or reboot. Instead of making it a traditional shooter fragfest they could play up the whole spy /espionage aspect a lot more than they had in the past.( by past i mean original PD, Zero didn't seem to have much of that) Cool gadgets, stealth elements, crazy high tech weaponry, basically Cyberpunk 007 with breasts. Take what they did with the original game and turn it up to 11.
It would easily set itself apart from the CODs and Halo's.
I wonder what happened with MS's attempts to renew the Killer Instinct trademark. I was never really a fan of the series but i am curious as to what they were planning to do with it. They went to the trouble of announcing that they were looking to renew the trademark so obviously they had something planned. Question is was it a HD XBLA re release like PD, a reboot/sequel, maybe both?

New, original IP. This is very good news. LocoCycle looks interesting enough, but I can't wait to see what they do with next generation hardware.
Indeed. Although I suspect Microsoft doesn't see any benefit in trying to attract that market. That's not say they didn't try, games like Viva Pinata, Kameo, Kinectimals, etc were all aimed toward that market, but they didn't succeed.
Nothing wrong with liking Horizon or even Need for Spped as opposed to sim racing, but honestly if you played Forza 4 you'd see the difference immediately and what they brought to the table in 2 years was amazing.
Turn 10 literally worked miracles on the 360.. I literally can't wait to the day we see what they unveiled for next gen.
They are IMO one of Micrsofts Ace in the hole, but add in Playground Games and you have a stable of great racing games next gen on the Next Xbox.
They did. They release Banjoo Tooie. Rare released Viva. Rare released Kameo and Perfect Dark.
But since the internet wasnt around people forget how Kameo didn't get love from the leading mags at the time.
I remember Peter Moore later telling a mag that Kameo got lowballed by some reviewers.
These games didn't sell well and MS ended up making Kameo the bundle baby to attracgt the Nintendo market.
But, now they have Kinect and that's really what has led to that market coming to the 360.
Conker's time which was cutting edge back IMO will be largely overlook in this time and age. Look at the reception to Sly or any of the Sonics this gen.
If you love platformers then XBLA is the way to go.

Horizon was the first Forza game that I really enjoyed, but there were a few things wrong with it (coming from a racing noob). It didn't have AutoVista, which I think was one of the most compelling features of 4. It didn't run at a high framerate like Forza 4 did (that I noticed). Other than that, the whole multiplayer aspect was really cool and is a direction I hope more games go, period.
It's gonna be open-world or bust for me this gen with a lot of games, unless the game itself has some really compelling features. Killzone was beautiful, but if you look at the actual play space, it was practically last-gen with respect to the scope.
I think Rare is working on a racer so that might have Kinect support.
Other than the possibility of a water based racing game(?) Rare was thought to be hiring for possible shooter, action adventure IP's based on hiring posts.

A next gen water-based racer could look amazing.
What happened to the good ol' mentality of just throw guns on some form of transportation and make a game out of it?

Shit, still haven't had a train combat game. Someone, anyone, hire me!
I know right!
After looking at the above picture for a minute... I really want a train combat game now....

It's been so long that a new Killer Instinct would essentially be a new considered a new IP or at least a reboot of a very underutilized IP.

Wow, what's up with Connor? I mean, if I ever acted the way he did at 45 years old, me being twenty two, when it come to video games, I wouldn't be able to look at myself in the mirror. Poor fellow. He needs to calm down.
