“There's an old quote that ‘wrestling is real and boxing is fixed’,” he says. But that “dramatisation” of F1 isn’t necessarily reflected in other forms of motor racing, muses Greenawalt. “I mean, thank you Netflix, right?” Hartman says of Drive to Survive, which has boosted Formula One’s appeal across the globe. The biggest change for both teams in the last five years has been cars and racing in our culture.
But there's a lot of sharing and cross-pollination going on,” Hartman says. There are car teams in each studio as well, just like there's core engine teams in each studio as well. It may be five years since the team shipped a Motorsport but Hartman reminds me that in that time, in the middle of a pandemic, “we've shipped two Horizons.” The team explores a lot of things in tandem.
From how they manage the campaign, to the design of multiplayer, the technology behind AI components, the intuitive controller mapping and more. And I actually think that the strength of us is that we take risks,” says Greenawalt.įor Forza Motorsport, Turn 10 has looked at everything. Some things turned out well and some didn't. “After five minutes, Alan was like, what would you do with Forza? Where would you take Forza? And we pitched what literally became Horizon, almost on a napkin.”įrom Horizon and even to a television production for Forza Motorsport 2, the Forza team has “tried a little bit of everything. “It was one of those stories where the steak turns to ash in your mouth, and I'm thinking, 'how do we afford the flights home?'” says Williams. But Hartman and Greenawalt weren’t interested in Playground tackling PGR.

Trevor Williams, studio head of Playground Games, remembers sitting in the Palm restaurant in Los Angeles, having just pitched a would-be reboot of the much-adored Xbox racing series Project Gotham Racing. It took a while for the Forza franchise to scale these heights, and a big part of that is down to the success of its sister Horizon series. This breathless pace of innovation has been ongoing since the turn of the century, having been fuelled early on by the arms race with Gran Turismo. It’s an original, high-speed Grand Prix circuit purpose-built to showcase the game’s next-gen shinies. There are of course new tracks, too, including Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit, a South African track making its Motorsport debut, and the all-new Circuit Hakone set in Japan. Every car has been remodelled to the new power of Xbox's Series consoles, including advanced car damage that simulates destruction down to “individual scratches”. A day/night cycle, ray-traced lighting and unparalleled new details bring racing to life like never before. The immediate thing you notice is the detail – from the macro view of Maple Valley, with its burnt orange autumnal vibe, to the microscopic detail of flora on the grass beside the tarmac. At a private demo ahead of Xbox’s would-be E3 showcase, we get a glimpse of how this team of car nuts has pushed their vision for Motorsport.
