New PGR Confirmed !

aviator1894407d ago

if that's true, i'm so pumped.
it's been such a long time since we've seen a pgr game.

AngelicIceDiamond4407d ago

Yeah its cool, but I'm not a huge racing fan. I'm looking forward to it but I'm hoping to see some other titles also.

3-4-54407d ago

eww sick...

A racing game that forces you to Slide everywhere for something stupid called KUDOS......no thanks.

I'd much rather have Forza 5.

Jek_Porkins4407d ago

Microsoft also trademarked ForzaVista, so it could go PGR or Forza, I'd love either one!

jimbobwahey4407d ago

I'd much prefer Forza to be honest. PGR was great but the main features that differentiate it (city tracks and stylish racing) could be incorporated into the Forza franchise which makes PGR redundant.

I expect Turn 10 will bring back city tracks (like New York from Forza 1/2/3) and they could easily integrate some modes that resemble PGR's kudos system (since they're already halfway there with autocross/bowling events).

Besides, Microsoft cared so little about the PGR franchise that they let Bizarre Creations go multiplat under Activision (before they were shut down) so I doubt they'd go to the trouble of trying to resurrect the franchise now when Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon are doing well.

Jek_Porkins4407d ago

Bizarre Creations was owned by Activision, while Project Gotham Racing is owned by Microsoft, it wasn't as if Microsoft had a choice in the matter, and actually most of those guys helped make Forza Horizon, which was my favorite racer this generation hands down.

I like PGR, like Forza and Horizon as well, I just think Microsoft wont use a Forza Motorsport game as a launch title, for the same reason they wont release a launch Halo game anymore, not a big enough install base initially. Also, we've seen every Microsoft console launch with a Gotham game, which is food for thought.

Blackdeath_6634407d ago

would prefer PGR we've had enough forza's already

Gillonz4407d ago

after vista they'll do forza 7 then forza 8 lol

Jek_Porkins4407d ago

Actually they are on Forza Motorsport 5, the same number at Gran Turismo I believe? That wasn't a very inventive troll attempt at all...for shame.

Majors4407d ago (Edited 4407d ago )

@ Jek But remember there have been 4 iterations of forza this current gen while only 1 & a prologue of gran turismo.
Food for thought ???

FamilyGuy4407d ago

@ Jek
Gran Turismo 1 started on PS1, now that's food for thought.

On topic: I hope whatever this is turns out to be a new IP. I know franchises excite fans but something new is always cool at the start of a new generation. Think Gears of War, it was new a took off big time.

Nightfallen4407d ago (Edited 4407d ago )

Microsoft is getting their own racing title ( for next generation), interesting! Can't wait to see what the MS camp has to offer. I'm a PS guy but MS and Sony competing benefits gamers in the long run.

So a new Forza most likely.

Foxgod4407d ago

What do you mean with, their own racing title?
They had their own racing title ever since the first xbox.

Nightfallen4407d ago (Edited 4407d ago )

For next gen. As in PS4 has Driveclub, and MS another title.

Edit: Most likely released within the same time frame.

hazardman4407d ago

Actually if anything it was Sony who needed the other racer to go along with GT. MS has Forza, Forza Horizon and PGR series. A lim something for a arcade and sim racers. Can't wait to for tomorrow to see what MS has to offer!!

jimbobwahey4407d ago

To be fair Sony also has Wipeout and Motorstorm. Unfortunately though nobody bought Wipeout so the studio was closed and the franchise is dead, and Motorstorm sold really poorly as well, so now Evolution Studios are trying something else.

It's a real shame actually, there's been some great exclusives on PS3 that nobody bought and so we'll never see sequels to them (prime examples being Wipeout HD, Starhawk and Twisted Metal).

a_bro4407d ago

Wipeout is not dead. Sony owns the ip. If anything, evolution most likely has been given the franchise.

Axonometri4407d ago

Woah! massive de ja vu
this happen once before?

SDF Repellent4407d ago

I am desperately hoping it is PGR. It is by far my favorite racing series of all time going back to the Metropolis Street Racing game on the Dreamcast. London, Paris, San Francisco, New York, Tokyo created in Next Gen graphics should be spectacular!

Cat Quest III Is Heading to Apple Devices on August 8

"A big part of being a cat pirate is sailing the seas and traveling from place to place. What better way to do just that than by playing Cat Quest III on the go? Soon, aspiring kitty pirates will be able to enjoy the charming cat-themed action RPG on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. That should be a purrfect option for gamers who don't have the game on Switch or Steam Deck. The iOS version will still support 2-player local co-op, thankfully," says Co-Optimus.

Dark Quest 4 Will Bring Back the Co-op When It Comes Out Later This Year

"It could be said that Brain Seal Ltd, the developer of the Dark Quest series, is wishy-washy on co-op. Every other game is either single-player or co-op. Thankfully, the upcoming Dark Quest 4 will be one of the co-op ones. In fact, it looks like this will be the biggest and best game yet in the board game-style dungeon crawling series. A demo has recently arrived on Steam, and the game will come to both consoles and PC later this year," says Co-Optimus.
