Eh, not really. It's just something i read on their forums, someone said " Thomas already said they wouldn't work ?"
Couldn't find anything official though, but they should get back to us soon.
And guys it's OK, pgr5 is coming.
What do you think it is that Lucid teased with road opens 2013 picture and mid-may that never happened !?
It was scrapped from the reveal and Forza was shown instead-
I've been sporting one since January. It's starting to get uncomfortable
PS. I can't believe all of you lost faith. ALL OF YOU. But that's okay. Shaneus forgives you. The guilt you all feel when playing PGR5 whilst thinking "Shaneus was right all along" is apology enough <3
Hey, wait a minute... didn't they mention during the One presentation that there would be games for both 360 and One shown at E3? For some reason I can recall Mattrick mentioning it, but my mind may just be playing tricks.
PS. Nice avatar update CJ
BTW I think I'm at the point where if it's announced for One and not 360, I'll be disappointed. God, I hope it's a 360 title. Come on, Lucid!

360 would be much better. We could use our steering wheels.

I hope you're correct Shaneus but again it'll need to be sensational in order for me to buy an Xbox One based on the information we know about the console today.
@Mascot Don't the majority of Fanatec wheels & pedals work perfectly on the PC? I can name plenty of racing sims that you could use them with 8)

Yeah, I just wish they didn't wait so long for the GoW 2 port.

I would cum bricks.
Epic is allowed to do what they want with their IP, they've just been nice to MS.
But really MS' PC ports have been random and without pattern, they're usually exceptions to the rule though. Still don't know how AoE HD on Steam even happened or makes sense with how MS is.
I guess when the XBone bombs and realisation dawns on Microsoft that people don't want a set-top box we might see a flood of PC ports.

I'd say almost none as Forza is a 'system seller'..mind you I'd buy both games for the PC and then mod the shite out of Forza which is another reason why it'll never happen.
PGR5 or FM5, doesn't matter. The whole Xbox One disaster has put me off, and the whole internet along with me it seems..
I mean, I should be absolutely excited about FM5 and the potential release of PGR5, but I'm not. I'm down man, I'm down and I can't get up...
Help me Dr,Phil!

I feel you, brother. I was looking forward to the Nextbox reveal with so much excitement and anticipation but came away from it utterly shell-shocked. Depression soon set in when I realised Xbox was no longer synonymous with gaming.
Hey guys, what if PGR5 is actually being made? Most of us was hoping to see it today right? We were hoping for x1 day one title but what if it's being made for x360?
I mean Xbox one will have Forza 5 so no need for a second racing game from Microsoft in the first year. Many people owns x360 and there isn't any games coming from Microsoft for it, at least that we know of.
Maybe PGR5 is being made as a last big 360 exclusive to give it one more chance. Microsoft will see how the game sales, people will be reminded about PGR franchise and then we might actually get PGR6 on x1 year or two after Forza 5.
Can't say I wouldn't like but knowing life it won't happen for sure
one last hurrah, they launch on the 360 at the same time as the XBONE launch, early adopters are already looking away from the 360, it sells like shit because we all wanted it on the next Xbox, MS kills it again.
Aren't you excited at the possibility that PGR5 could be a 360 title? Honestly, if they were able to tease the game in January and get someone in to work on video editing (and trailers!) and design work, you'd think that they'd be pretty far along in the game making process... far enough that it wouldn't be unreasonable to see a release of the game a month or two from E3, well before the One is due?
It may sound weird, but with the thinking I've done on it (and I think you know me well enough to know that's been a LOT) I would find it incredibly surprising, shocking even if it DOESN'T get released on the 360. Probably before they announce a specific date for the One, too... just to get those "might as well get this in the meantime" people.
I wrote the following post before reading yours, but I've had the theory that it's a 360 title since the One launch event. They'd be stupid to launch two racing games that are, to the general public, essentially identical.Hey guys, what if PGR5 is actually being made? Most of us was hoping to see it today right?

Also this:
I'm probably wrong on the timing thing (they would've started work on it far earlier if Urtone was to weave his magic while creating some trailers for it and working on the design as well as recent as January-March) but everything else feels like it makes sense.
Edit: fuck, forgot to paste in the bit I was quoting from HD.

The reveal was terrible, I'm hoping now that the multimedia shit is out their spot at E3 is freed up to show some games.
Haven't given up on the Xbox but I can't lie, my enthusiasm is at an all time low.
Glad I'm not the only one.
But PGR5 for X360, yay, I'm in! If it's for Xbone, meh, I will never buy this crap.
Edinburgh, yes please.

I could see PGR5 releasing during the spring.
Gamescom announcement perhaps?

Could you buy a console that your wheel wasn't compatible with? I couldn't.
Did you honestly expect anything you bought this gen to be forward compatible?
I don't understand how anyone couldn't. They will add a button to the controller to justify not only there being a magnitude for the upgrade, but so that they can also sell new peripherals. This is why I held off buying an arcade stick at the end of the gen (but thankfully I got one for free from a generous GAFer).
Nintendo is the only one nice enough, but they pretty much need it because of their Wii to Wii U strategy being a marginal upgrade anyways.
It's fully expected that PS3-compatible steering wheels will work with the PS4. Why can't Microsoft just play nicely?

Hi guys. I got us a good reaction gif from Tuesday's presentation:
<3
Still hurts.
I had a lot invested in a PGR5 announcement. A lot. I played PGR4 almost religiously the three days leading up to the reveal, thinking/hoping a new PGR was about to be revealed.
Then the teaser image was shown, my heart was racing, it's about to happen I thought and then they revealed that almost 30 minutes later...
Well, yeah, that's what I suggested before. It would also make sense that Lucid's team (with it's size) and background can probably knock off a PGR5 for 360. They've been at it for what 2 years now?
A kind of last hoorah as it were for those who can't get the One at launch and perhaps a source of revenue for MS kind of like what Sony's doing with GT6 and the PS3..
Hey guys, I've just remembered something. Whilst I was doing one of my stalking sessions a month or two ago, one of the Lucid staffers' Twitter accounts had a photo or something to do with Easter, and there was a photo of an Easter egg, a keyboard and a... 360 controller.
Fake edit: Sorry, it was posted 4th Feb.
Now think about it. None of the games they've worked on (that we know of) in any way would've warranted using a 360 pad. Jacob Jones is 100% touchscreen on both Vita and iOS and Pixel Smash is an iOS game too. The OnLive stuff they were doing was for Dirt 3 and a touch version of LA Noire... quite some time ago.
If they were working on a One game, then we wouldn't have seen a 360 controller in any photos at all. That we're seeing a 360 controller can only indicate one thing... they're testing a 360 game.

Shaneus pls, you're among friends here.
It's time to let go. It's not healthy. You need to let go and move on.

my logitech driving force pro for PS2 worked fine with PS3.
I was in full stalker mode well before you came along! Remember Lucid calling me out in the appreciation thread? Anyway, I just remembered seeing that pic early on in the piece, recalling past stalkerings, not instigating new ones
I admit it's all kind of sad, but I refuse to believe in a future where there's nothing to look forward to. PGR on next gen (or none at all) is that future. Faith may be all I have and I may be deluded, but at least I'm not a sad sack like you guys
It is? You better temper your expectations, that's pretty heavily unlikely. When standard inputs change, so do the requirements for peripherals, even if they don't retain all of the functionality (i.e. right stick).

But I do not want a new PGR for the Xbox 360. PGR4 was the definitive version for the 360. I am moving on, I want a new PGR in a new hardware.
That's what I am thinking. IF there is a PGR5 and IF it is for the 360, I am going to be bummed because I will always think "maan.. what could be if it would be on the XB One" - no matter how good it might be.
What if? It'll be sent to death because it's releasing the same time as Forza 5. Think it was sent to death being released at the same time as Halo 3? If it's next to the flagship racer on the same console, it'll be a bloodbath.

We're seeing it again, guaranteed.
BADNED is posting hints in this thread, indicating Dubai. As much as we *think* he was wrong about there being a PGR at the One launch, his cryptic clues never confirmed that.
One of the heads of Lucid somehow found himself in the PGR appreciation thread when we first started speculating (even answered some questions!).
