The Assassin Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Project Gotham Racing and Blur lead designer Gareth Wilson has found a new home at Sumo Digital - maker of OutRun Online Arcade and SEGA All-Stars Racing. His old home, Bizarre Creations, closed on Friday. Wilson will take up the post of chief game designer at Sumo, according to CVG. He becomes the first of Bizarre's cut-loose top brass to declare his future. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-02-21-pgr-and-blur-lead-joins-sumo Plz give us PGR5 now?

silentassassin Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Yes.. *puts on sunglasses* And let it be Multiplat. It'll definitely be a multiplat if they do make a game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HundredProofSam Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Microsoft owns the PGR IP, so it will not be multi-platform. Not so sure about Sumo Digital. I like their games, but for PGR. Do we know anyone who works at Sumo's Pune studio? We could use some insider info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devil_angel Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 PGR is one game, which I wish never goes multiplat. It belongs to xbox just like a GOW for playstation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HundredProofSam Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 ^ Except GoW is developed by a first-party studio. MS should just expand Turn 10 and have two teams there; one on Forza, one on PGR. But IIRC PGR4 sold quite poorly, so they may not want to risk that.

Yeah,its release was poorly timed.It sold less mainly bcoz of the fact that Halo 3,COD4,Forza 2 released the same year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HundredProofSam Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Well, if they do make another PGR, I think they're going to have to rethink what kind of game they want it to be. I loved the older games, but it fell somehwere between arcade and sim, and there isn't much of a market for that anymore. People either want hardcore sim (these numbers are also falling) or balls out arcade. So they may just go back to the drawing board and do a reboot. At least I think they should if they want the franchise to have any real future commercially. And I don't see why they can't just make PGR internally. Have two core teams at Turn 10 with a few shared resources. Realease Forza and PGR alternate years, so they have one (exclusive) game from the studio every year.

Right Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I was talking about new game from Sumo digital... Do you seriously think a company with catalog like this would try for devving a new IP or game like PGR? I mean Sumo has developed commissioned games, done art-sourcing, ports for PSP. They aren't exactly players on high-rollers table, even with a bunch of guys from Bizzare unlikely they will change the way they do their business.

Why do you think market is down for part arcade, part sim games? Shift2 for example is one of those, you know..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadoken Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 FUK YEAH ... Sumo Digital == SEGA == MSR(The original PGR ) == (Sega still owns MSR IP right?...and since it was originally made by bizzare this would be the best time to revive it....and sega has given lots of their games to Sumo Digital and they are all pretty good) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
