Xbox Contest Hints at Next-Generation EA, Forza Titles

Digitalspy writes:

Microsoft's next-generation Xbox could come with launch titles from EA and Forza developer Turn 10 Studios, the company has hinted.

The platform holder is encouraging its Twitter followers to tweet @EA, @Xbox, @PlayXBLA and @Turn10 in order to win entrance to its briefing at E3 this year.

Wait there's going to be EA games and a new Forza?!?

MEGATON!!

/s

[TrevorPhillips]

That was dry...

[hazardman]

I think he was being sarcastic..

[TrevorPhillips]

I've noticed the /s it was a failed sarcasm though...

[abzdine]

we have a short glimpse of how next gen games look on PS4, now i HOPE for Microsoft that they will be showing some live demos of next gen titles to see how that shows on screen.

[GalacticEmpire]

"failed sarcasm"

Wha? You're either being sarcastic or you're not, there's no fail lol.

I guess you meant it failed to be humorous, which is highly subjective, why not let others decide that for themselves. It was a harmless joke anyway, don't know why you're on my back about it.

[NastyLeftHook0]

really?

[hazardman]

I guess your right. If your gonna be sarcastic on the subject might aswell make it good!

[hazardman]

A megaton would be if EA came out and said that BF4, Madden or the new Star Wars games would be Xbox exclusive. Man as long as I'm playing good games i can careless what developers is doing what..

[Jek_Porkins]

It wouldn't need to be all of that, a megaton would be having Respawn Entertainment at the Microsoft E3 event and announce the new game is a Microsoft exclusive.

The creators of Call Of Duty finally coming out with a new franchise and it being an Xbox exclusive would have huge implications.

[majiebeast]

@Jek

Its creator Jason West is gone and hasnt even worked on "Titan". So a unproven franchise is now a megaton? I really doubt it and if its anything like cod they can keep it i rather have massive fps like Planetside 2.

[Jek_Porkins]

@majiebeast
You realize Respawn Entertainment was formed by West and Zampella right? and Zampella is still there, also I'd point out that most of the developers at Respawn are former Infinity Ward members, so yea, megaton in my opinion.

I know a ton of people who were looking forward to their next game.

[DeadlyFire]

Those franchises are to big to do that. People would burn EA down if they did that.

As far as Respawn's game goes. If its published by EA or Activision. I wouldn't expect it to stay exclusive.

[Knight_Crawler]

@Galptic - Who ever said it was suppose to be MEAGTON news? the writer of the article just simple noticed something and decided to share it...it not like MS tweeted MEGATON news incoming.

You trolls are not even trying anymore :(

next gen Forza will make drive club and Gran Turismo redundan.

Highest rated racer on the market whole franchise just is very high quality that no one even has touched even this generation. Even the spin of forza horizon made other racers look like a joke.

Forza Horizon 85% metacritic

Gran turismo 5 84% metacritic got its ass handed to it by a spin off. Not on forza level yet.

galactic empire failed and not funny

MEGATON

another killzone rehash!
another infamous rehash!

woo hooo

[majiebeast]

Forza? You mean that franchise that only sold 15 million with 6 games that Forza? That will kill Gran turismo a franchise that sold 68Million. Keep dreaming all the pro's use Gran Turismo for a reason its miles better then Forza. Forza 4 sold a million less then 3 and Horizon isnt even hitting the 2 million mark i say its on life support Gran Turismo and Driveclub will kill it off for good.

[fei-hung]

Agree! Rehashes like:

1) Forza
2) Halo
3) Gears

No new IPs to go alongside them like:

1) drive club
2) Knack
3) the witness

as for Forza, and review comparisons, they are nothing short of a joke. GT wasn't even reviewed as a simulator by many reviewers, hence the lower score. Reviewers complaining it isn't arcade enough (no shit Sherlock).

Forza, as great as it is, falls short of being a real driving simulator. Might be subjective to some, but to the almost 10 million petrol heads who choose GT over Forza, it is a fact.

[DeadlyFire]

Doesn't EA publish RYSE?

I think we found the Exclusive EA title that will show up.

[BattleReach]

Forza 5, Battlefield 4, Fifa 14 and Dragon Age III for the Next Xbox.

[DeadlyFire]

Just erase Froza and scribble Drive Club and you have the PS4 line-up as well.

[GalacticEmpire]

"Auto Club"

Think you mean 'Drive Club'

Quick edit! :D

Well done :P

[DeadlyFire]

hahaha

[minimur12]

I'm thinking that they'll reveal a bit of gameplay from GTA V....... it's possible.

[MasterCornholio]

The next Xbox reveal might also reveal additional games for the PS4.

Motorola RAZR i

[grassyknoll]

There's no way EA is making exclusive titles for MS, they sell more on PS3 than any other console. I do suspect Microsoft has paid a lot for exclusive DLC though(instead of exclusive games/studios, sigh)

[DeadlyFire]

EA is not making exclusive titles. They could publish a title to the platform that is say Kinect exclusive. I am thinking its RYSE.

[josephayal]

i'm actually very happy, MS is putting their money in the best basket

[YodaCracker]

I just wet my pants imagining a next-gen Forza game. Come on May 21!

[StreetsofRage]

With a next gen Forza and PGR5, Microsoft will once again own the genre.

[DivineAssault]

I would have NEVER guessed that would ever happen! What if theres nx gen Ubisoft title or Halo getting made for it too? That would be a HUGE surprise for the gaming community!
