Forza Motorsport "is no more", according to a former employee at Turn 10 Studios, though the Horizon series will continue.

    This last iteration of Forza was awful. If that’s how it was going to be for this franchise going forward, good riddance. I’m sorry for the human impact this has though, that parts not lost on me. But the product was complete shit. Leaves a cavern sized hole in the market now. Forza has had a monster sized impact on the genre. That cannot be ignored.

    Seems like Horizon has an iffy future as well. Ah well, they are mostly pretty similar and getting repetitive.

      That’s literally the game the sim community has been begging for for ages now. What a shame.

      I remember how blown away I was by Motorsport 5 on the XBONE demo console in the store. The trigger response alone made me want to take a whole console home just for that. I really wish I could play that one properly on modern hardware.

    Last game was mediocre but over 20 years they’ve been very consistent. I wonder how stable Playground Games have been with Fable reboot. I wonder if they’ve managed being a 2 game pipeline studio or it’s all hands on deck for Fable. If it’s all hands on deck for Fable and no Forza Horizon game on the horizon as a studio silver lining regardless of Fable performance, the pressure there after the last couple of years of MS Xbox slashing must be heavy

    Forza Motorsport being cut when it has been a pillar for 20 years is insane.State of Decay 3 so far dodging bad news year after year while being publicly absent
