Forza Horizon

Turn 10’s Dan Greenawalt Talks Forza Horizon, Trust & British Racing Game Heritage
Written Tuesday, March 27, 2012 By Dan Webb

There’s no doubt about it, Microsoft and Turn 10 are remaining relatively tight-lipped about their upcoming Forza title, Forza Horizon.

Aside from a “tone” trailer and the news that new developer, Playground Games, are on board, they’re not really saying much. We caught up with Turn 10’s Creative Director, Dan Greenawalt, to see what bits of information we  could glean about the upcoming title...

Why did they splinter the franchise? What are they hoping the experience of Playground Games can bring? Who are Playground Games? Who are they made up of? Are Turn 10 involved in the development of this title?

Greenawalt answers these and more as he talks Forza Horizon, trust and the British racing game heritage.

Forza wouldn't feel like Forza if it had motorcycles in it in my opinion :/

Maybe you'll be able to drive cross-country to visit the usual tracks that appear in Forza games?

Yeh, even with the bugs, I love TDU 2. The great open-world Islands and the fact that every track is unique as you progress through the campaign.

So a bug-less version of TDU2 with Forza 4 graphics would be the prefect racing game.

Whatever it is, I'm sure it will be good as it's Forza & Turn 10 aren't ones to mess their games up.

When I'm watching this video and listening Dan Greenawalt i just start dreaming about game/product like Forza+ProjectGothamRacing+SSX ;P
Ye, sound stupid, but I mean something like this:
(SSX) Planet world for choice from all around the world the real city/places (PGR) to racing with amazing amzing car and awesome driving physics/driving model.
That will be for me AWESOME !!!

Ok, that's nice to know, but what is it? All we really know is a name and release window.

Open world racing.
And with the other company, they could add weather effects and time of day settings. Forza needs this. Cruising till the sun rises to your favorite soothing song in a video game would be pretty incredible.

if turn 10 are involved it will wont be any good. hand the reins to playground games (ex codemasters and bizzare creations staff) and you should get a very good race game.
