They should call it Project Gotham racing then. This name is much cooler then Forza.


Better name recognition with Forza. Good name recognition is really nice when trying to market something. 


It appears more like milking. And Forza is not that huge.

Neither game can do particularly stellar sells without bundling, but Forza does a better job at it.

Guys, Project Gotham Racing gets it's name from the cities it takes place in just like it's predecessor Metropolis Street Racer.

Forza Horizon takes place out on the open road in Colorado. It has the Forza name because it uses the Forza physics system as well as graphics engine. It's a spin off like Halo 3 ODST.

Just curious, but why do you care about a game you will probably never play?

You really think so? I could see it breaking 1 million without too much trouble. Although I can't really see it getting much above 1.5 - 2 million. Plus it's Forza so it's pretty much garanteed to have at least 1 bundle.

 

OT: TBH the Collector's Edition looks rather lame. I'll probably stick with the regular edition.

Wow again a Forza game?
Wasn´t Forza 3 or 4 released last year?


I think this is more like PGR than the usual forza games..they just chose to use the name Forza for w/e reason

Not just the name, but also the Forza physics.

This game could be one of my favourite games of the year or it could be one of the worst. I like the test drive kind of game but it could be made so wrong....(burnout paradise as an example)..
