Aww. I thought Lucid was like 90% the original Bizarre staff or something. I hope Rare stays far, far away from this game as well.

Because they hired lots of Codemasters stuff. I´m pretty sure they are working on a racing game.

I think I'd prefer a new IP.
I recently went back and played through PGR4, which I used to love more than any other racer.................. Rose-tinted specs. It's so repetitive and short :/
Another move that makes me think that MS are still going to rely on old Xbox IPs, rather than move on.

I doubt it. Their teaser image doesn't look like the footage of Drive Club, also you would think they would have announced they are working on the game by now considering they did release that teaser image.
I very much doubt this.
I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but I'm sure they're in some way working on PGR5.
I would sell your first born child for Rallisport 3.

Whatever your interest in Kinect Sports, it and its sequel are still pretty much unmatched in terms of tracking and they seem to have played a big role in the tracking software itself and perfecting it. Which might be completely uninteresting to somebody who couldn't give a shit about a motion sports game, but it shows that they still have some very capable developers since that shit isn't easy to get right. Plus recent tweets seem to indicate they're working on some very impressive physics-based stuff. There's little reason to negatively judge the competency of the hundreds of people that work there, even if the "Rare magic" has gone.
I'm guessing it's because DICE got aquired by EA.
Unless there was a sudden mass exodus of ex BC people to Lucid I very much doubt that they hold even a third of their old team.
This will be a completely different game, pretty much PGR in name only (which MS is very smart to use as fans still emotionally attached to the franchise as proven by this thread)
FYI, these hires are the reason Rare gets mentioned so often:
That line really stuck out. Rare's new concept artist hires all have a really realistic look to their art: guy one, guy two and guy three.

A gaffer then replied:A concept artist that was hired by Rare made these:
Take in account that his other clients, besides Rare, are not actually big studios or game related.
Like I have said before, with the recent hirings of race devs, I think they are working on a reboot of PGR.

Nice post. A racing game certainly seems like a lock for them. I wonder if it is going to be a compilation of various racing types/vehicles like rally, street, boat, since there was a rumor of awesome water physics. I personally don't see a pure water racing title being something that would get greenlit unless the pitch was incredibly awesome.

That would be interesting.

Be that as it may, there were plenty rumors of PGR5 being developed for the Durango and Lucid is likely the dev( or one of the devs) behind it. Launch of an xbox without a PGR game just wouldn't feel right.

According to one founding member of Lucid in the PGR appreciation thread, only a handful of ex-BC people work at Playground: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=47217719&postcount=517 "Ex bizarre wise, think there's only 2 maybe 3 ex bizarre guys at Playground, 2 at Sumo, 2 or 3 at Codies, yet 25+ atLucid. Always seemed odd that everyone thought there were huge numbers of BC guys at other studios..."It'll probably be developed by these guys:
Looking on the PG website it's mostly staffed by ex-Codemasters employees and in 2010, CM attempted to sue Playground Games for poaching staff. If anyone should be making another PGR it's Lucid.
This fellow is also required to be a part of the team:
Any new PGR requires Geometry Wars!
They renewed Killer Instinct and now PGR.
I'm shaking.
He's banned, no idea why though.

People don't realise that this isn't a list of people developing games for PS4; it's a list of people who want to/are able to support development for it, basically.I believe it is Lucid games, which is also made up of several Bizarre devs as far as I can tell, have read, or have been informed. The strange thing however was that Lucid was one of the games on Sony's PS4 dev chart here.
Or Conker.
I might be reading to much into this, but heck I'll post it anyway. Might not be even PGR related, more like DLC for Forza Horizon or the sequel (!?).
Playground Games recently hired Titus Lunter. He recently posted these two pictures in his portfolio:

First one would fit in the whole FH Rally thing, the second one looks more like something akin to PGR.Posted on Jan. 16:

Agreed. Still no idea who I'm going with this time until a lot more is known, but a new PGR would tip the scales in MS favor. PGR4 was my favorite game of this gen. Just brilliant.
'RalliSport Challenge VS Project Gotham Racing' confirmed. Take that Marvel vs Capcom.

Demonstrably false.
Good find.
As hot as that looks, I don't want to go back to NYC again, kinda worn out at this point and it probably had some of the weakest track configurations out of all of PGR3 and PGR4. I guess they may painstakingly model ties square for some eye candy though this time around.
Thread whining.
It'll probably be developed by these guys:
They made Forza Horizon, and from the wiki/personal knowledge:
There is word that one of the Launch titles is getting worked on by 3 developers. Its probably PGR and Lucid/Playground/Turn10.

A Microsoft console launch without a Project Gotham would be a bad omen. Seems if this is true, they are pulling out all the stops to ensure there's one at launch.
