Rumor: Microsoft Looking For Developer To Bring Back Project Gotham Racing
- Thread starter Nirolak
- Start date
Go back to PG2 and carry on there. Way too many games with luxury sports cars roaming around. I want to be driving around in some family 4x4 trying to take 90o corners at 60. :lol
They need to bring back all the speed challenges and add some more driving skill challenges. Trying to hit 80 was a huge challenge for some of those crappy cars on offer.

Send this over to United Front Games.
The original Hot Pursuit 2 PS2 developers and makers of Mod Nation Racers are ideal for PGR.

Turn 10 have to release a pretty big game every two years, I doubt they have the man power to do more than Forza.ClosingADoor said:
When Activision shuts down Bizarre Microsoft should help the people out of work form a new studio and begin working on PGR, sorta like Ruffian.
I was under the impression that Turn 10 were taking over the PGR series, too.... :/ Huh.
If this isn't the case, then clearly they aren't even an option, cuz they'd easily be the best candidate. Despite Forza being closer to the sim-side of things, I think one of the things that Turn 10 have done best with the series is make it accessible and fun for the casual gamer. I think Turn 10 would do a great job making a more arcade-type racer, as they seem to know how to cater to a car-loving, casual gaming audience.
Turn 10 must be busy with something else if they aren't doing PGR5. But I do think its kinda interesting that the game isn't already in development by somebody. PGR4 was released in 2007, after all. If a developer hasn't even been established yet, we're looking at another year and a half, two years before we get PGR5. :/

I'll be shocked if we ever get another RSC. I think Microsoft forgot it exists.

If S0L is reading this, can you comment?miladesn said:
Also, can you guys talk to Raw Thrills about doing a PSN/XBLA port of Fast & Furious: Super Cars? If you guys can give the OutRun Online Arcade treatment to that game, I'd be pleased.

I'd say Sumo can make a good racing game, but I would want PGR 5 to be something unique instead of more of the same but now with bikes.

Sumo have not made a single good game.Diablohead said:
They are a port house. Nothing more.
Its funny that people say MS should have bought Bizzare, because they actually did want to buy them but Bizzare did not want it because ''they would be making PGR forever''. Also PGR4 development did not go smooth with MGS, they even had their dev time slashed by a couple of weeks.

because owning studios can be a money pit. Yeah I know people love Bizarre, but PGR4 sold bad (i know MS' advertising sucked, but still) and Blur apparently sold like ass. You want control of the IPs and the talent. You don't need the studio for that. Like someone else mentioned MS can just help fund some upstart featuring former Bizarre employees for much less cost.

I'm all for it if the new studio can come up with something fresh and still keep the style aspect both in the gameplay. Bought every game except PGR4 because the demo played too similar to the last ones outside weather effects and bikes. Sick of moderately updated sequels already.

I would think that they would be busy with Need for Speed Shift II: Electric Boogaloo.cuyahoga said:

Well there was only one Goldeneye 007 game, and it came out almost 15 years ago. There is a huge nostalgia factor plus the association with a huge brand. The fourth and last PGR game, an incremental advancement on the third, was received very poorly. The PGR brand is not strong enough to carry a new game without the original developer and with so many other racing names on the scene.
OK, it sounds plausiable and it is probably true.
Having European developer is a bonus too. However, I can't think of any good European studio that is not linked to Sony and god enough to deliver a title on scale of next PGR.
Eutechnyx comes to mind, but they're occupied with their business with Activision at this moment.
Also, I don't think this whole thing is related to present generation - it has to be linked to next-gen hardware. If they even find studio to start making game in early 2011, it will not be done before 2013.
And in 2013 we're already on NextBox territory.
Great news though, I'd apply for a job as PGR Game Designer, have been developing my own view on PGR-esque game for almost 5 years now. And I can assure you it would be radicaly addicitive experience for all car/racing lovers

The series always had a terrible name. Why revive it? Bizzarre probably won't be around anymore after their bombs within a year, so no wonder they haven't approached Activision about it.
