Concept art looks amazing. Be it a personal piece or not, the dude has some crazy good imagination.
I've never been a fan of racing games but i can say, without a shadow of a doubt, that Forza has been a franchise that has consistently delivered a high-quality experience, across multiple generations and through the noise of the Xbox One launch.
If the same team is working on an RPG, then I say bring it on. I have no doubt that it will be something very special

It very explicitly is not the same team; it's a new team built from the ground up. With that said, PG still do the hires and they've been taking their sweet time with it. Nothing wrong with being optimistic about these guys!

A new team is just an extension of the old team. It seems that PG have the atmosphere and ethos to promote greatness, which in-turn makes for a fantastic product.
PG are a testament to gaming, they are never brought up in a negative light in fanboy wars because it's not possible and their output has been consistently top drawer.

Thank you for your approval I can now feel Justified for it.
I was always under the impression that some team members broke off to form this new team but that's a complete assumption on my part.

Ask me about my fanboy energy!
Ninja Theory's Hellblade team, The Initiative, Obsidian, the new Halo director, and both Playground games studios. There is alot to be excited about.

That and I'm stoked it looks like MS will have at least 3 freaking RPG teams inexile, obsidian and playgrounds second studio. This is a place they can differentiate themselves from Sony and Nintendo. Let playground do more witcher fable style RPGs, inexile to do them turn based and second team for action RPGs and obsidian for fall out style RPGs. That will get wallet to open up big time. Exciting times are instore for the future if you enjoy diverse RPGs.

InXile's next project is ARPG and Obsidian is doing fantasy.
You maybe right I just can't see MS sidelining that talent at inexile at turn based strategy RPGs and build them up to 2 team. Especially since those probably can be turned out in relative fast order. I also cannot imagine MS not building up obsidian to many teams so they can get started on a outer worlds sequel ASAP.

InXile hiring for for new IP (Directed by Jason Anderson/Chad Moore)
While Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky will be releasing *The Outer Worlds* in a week and in a way continue the group known as Troika that brought us the Fallout series, Arcanum and Vampire: Bloodlines. a particular third member of that trio also slaves away at Microsoft. Not at Obsidian though...
Obsidian Entertainment: Short Summary on current Projects
A lot more details and some certainity about Obsidians upcoming projects has been released recently, so I thought I'll sum them up. First up: Outer Worlds DLC/ Outer Worlds 2 - As of December 2019 Outer Worlds DLC has been confirmed. Outer Worlds 2 not as of yet...

No, there is no actively developed third project at Playground Games. Stop believing random people in twitter. If you make a thread about this, I will report you and haunt you throughout the site

It was OK. Not as good as the first two but still a solid 7/10

The first Fable was awful. I'd say 3 is much better than 1, but not as good as 2.

Opinions vary. Fable did well when it was released on the OG Xbox, maybe not as good in hindsight but decent for its time.

I fell for the Molyneux hype, so I was super underwhelmed. The game had very little content.

Is St Albans some Fable reference then or is the studio based in the posh boy English City named after "that Roman soldier who had his head cut off for protecting a Christian priest" ???

Expecting the July Xbox showcase to be huge for PlayGround Games. Fully expecting them to reveal Forza Horizon 5 which I believe will be a Series X launch title. Then of course, the long rumored Fable reboot which im hoping to be their version of The Witcher 3 but set in the world of Fable. Can't fucking wait!!!

I think Horizon 5 will come after Motorsport 8, so probably 2022.

I still hope for FM8 release this year and FH5 next year.

Too early. They changed everything including the engine.

Don't ruin my hope! The last FM released in 2017, if they were smart with their new engine, making it so that cars and tracks can be easily carried over, I think 3 years is enough. I want to believe.
