Forza World

So this fall the next game in the Forza Motorsport series will be launched, but.. Probably at E3 another Forza game will be announced. "Forza World"

Quote :

Meanwhile, Eurogamer has heard an open world driving game called Forza World is in development at UK developer Playground Games, helmed by ex-Codemasters racing studio executive producer Gavin Raeburn.

Raeburn's LinkedIn profile reveals he's "working on an unannounced AAA title for a major publisher". During his time at Codemasters he helped reboot the Dirt and Grid series.

So a mix of Test Drive Unlimited and Forza. Using the Forza engine... Oh man..

Is it just going to be an open world racing or an MMO like game like need for speed world? WE NEED MOAR INFO

Open world would be cool, especially if it involved more than driving...sort of like gta, get out of car, explore on foot, buy stuff, meet people, kill people...

Forza 4 will be also available for the controller. Kinect is only a feature for forza 4.

Sounds pretty cool actually.

Racing MMO? Sounds interesting.

Forza 4 is just as hardcore as any of the previous Forza games. Kinect is just an extra gametype.

If they made it open world don't expect the same amount of graphic fidelity . But yea, it would be pretty great.

I don't think it would technically be a Forza game if it became open world. They might as well have a different name for it.

That wuld be a pretty dramatic change/improvement/addition and it sounds cool. Except for the kill people part, that would just make it GTA

Yeah i guess haha

But there could be stuff like casinos where you can gamble, win money to buy new cars and stuff

And buy houses with big garages to put your cars in!

And it could even have sim elements where your character may get tired and stuff.

And you can buy new parts for your car at a garage.

And you can free roam online, initiate races or just explore the world, collect unlockables and stuff :)
