Think they will get help from Evolution?
Assuming it's about outsourcing, I guess it'd just depend on whether they'd agree to asset sharing (obviously cars).

Ok. It's not *literally* the furthest thing. Still damn far from being official, which is obviously my point.
Now that things have calmed down a bit, this kinda reads like they may be outsourcing
Which would be huge since they've never done that before.
I bet we don't see it before 2017.
I hope we still get to play with PS2 models is an ultra high res environment.
I don't buy the loss leader thing, if it had such poor sales they probably wouldn't keep making them.At least at some point in time Turn 10 hadat leastaround 3x the staff of Polyphony, so... yeah.
It is my belief that Forza has been a major loss leader for Xbox (particularly given the assumed relatively poor sales, which seem to be the case for most sims aside from GT outside Europe), and actually only exists as an answer to GT.
They could have a new Forza out every 6 months and it probably wouldn't change the fact that it feels like I'm playing a shitty car commercial every time I start it up. I mean I get that product placement and marketing agreements are a thing, but Forza has a severe lack of subtlety and grace when it comes to that, and GT seems to mix it all well with a sincere passion that the developers have for cars.
Forza: Here's a generic suburban family car. We're pretty darn sure that you loved driving it! HERE, have some brand loyalty XP points! No need to thank us, in fact have some more! You certainly love X brand don't you?! Your X brand loyalty is now at level 4.

As for it being the answer to GT, that's long since been the case but Turn 10's been able to crank out 2 games already to GT's none so far so it's 2-0. Granted the GT series tends to be bigger in scope but I think we should have seen something by now so I hope that by adding more staff they can get GT7 out by 2016-2017.
- Polyphony wants to improve the situational awareness of AI drivers, and their reactions to the ever-changing conditions of the tracks, giving there a more human-like behavior.

This game is miles off isn't it...
No way GT7 comes out next year if they are only now hiring for key positions like this.

Can you list these 2 games that Turn 10 has cranked out since the last GT?
I'm assuming you mean 2 Forza main-line games (including yet to be released Forza 6) on X1 compared to 0 GT games on PS4?
Because technically, the last mainline GT was released after the last mainline Forza.
I'm referring to current gen platforms only so Forza 5 and 6 coming up compared to no GT on PS4.
I understand that they released GT6 on PS3 but I don't know if that was such a good idea.

Your opinion on the matter is irrelevant. Nice try though.
I haven't played Forza 5 but that certainly wasn't the case for Forza 4 which was the best iteration of the series. It had an expansive career mode, altavista mode (although limited to certain cars), Top Gear, and lots of cars and tracks.
The Rewards/Tiers are just bonus stuff that rewards your play so it's strange that anyone would consider that bad.
Forza 4 is actually what comes to mind when I say that. It was just a passionless corporate train wreck that only decades of watching American cable television could lubricate for entry.
Post effects, various effects the development of such a particle system
This may not be possible, but would it ever be possible for Polyphony have 2 teams there? One team on GT and another team on something else?
I think these listings are from a month ago or something.
Yep

So you're mainly just referring to the presentation? I didn't have any issues with it gameplay wise.
They have a LOT to live up to.
I can see the next game sinking the series even further without the proper care.
What?They have a LOT to live up to.

Yeap. This is the release that could decide if it's still one of Sony's most prominent IP's, or just another fairly decent seller. Going from 10+ million sales to 2+ million in the same generation has got to hurt. They need to make strides to reclaim that market and mind share.

People still quoting the BS thread with the Chartz numbers?
Anyway, the timing of GT6's release completely justifies its lower sales.
No those were chartz numbers.I wasn't going by Chartz numbers, but the Polyphony 2.5 million downloads image, as well as the 2.37m figure from the info they provided in that legal case.

That was based on Chartz.

Edit: V G Chartz where the * are and I guess that answers that.
My guess is that we'll see GT7 Prologue in 2016 and GT7 in 2017. Not too bad imo, I'll gladly wait a bit longer and get locked 60fps.
So they've hired the award winning Audio Lead from Forza 4 & 5 and the two Horizon games and now they're looking for somebody toddle with the AI. Doesn't guarantee anything but it sounds positive. I can't imagine that it's a surprise any surprise that Polyphony will be using GPU compute in some form.
I assume there's going to be another "holy fuck" moment when GT7 is first shown. I know people want it in a hurry but I'm always willing to wait for these games.
Aha didn't know that. Still think 2017 is the year of GT7 though.No prologue this time , already confirmed by Yama.
Now that things have calmed down a bit, this kinda reads like they may be outsourcing
Which would be huge since they've never done that before.
Huge fan of both Forza and GT franchises, all racing games infact, but this feels to me like Polyphony's thrust to catch up to Forza.
