Vi fick möjlighet att prata med Turn 10:s starkeman Dan Greenawalt om de senaste två spelen i världens just nu sannolikt hetaste racingserie, Forza Motorsport 5 och Forza Horizon 2. Vi frågade bland annat hur spelen ska samexistera, om de inte konkurrerar med varandra, varpå Greenawalt svarade:
"It's obvious when you look at it this, it's like a left right punch.
There's different qualities that each game has. One is about precision and accuracy, it's incredibly detailed. And the other one's about freedom and fun and exploration. I think they don't necessarily appeal to different gamers, but they appeal to people who love games and love cars, in different ways."
Greenawalt berättade även om den deal som gjorde att de till slut kunde få med Rolls Royce i ett TV-spel:
"I do believe that Forza Vista actually played a big part. That level of detail, the incredible level of detail; you can right up close and see even the imperfections of the car.
That level of craftsmanship I think has gotten the attention of a lot of execs in the car industry, and has sort of changed the rules of the game, of what they think a game should be.
Is a game just about thrashing their car, using it as a weapon or a tool? And we've made a clear statement with Forza Motorsport 5, and even Forza Horizon [2], that no, cars are something to be loved, they're something to be explored with your friends."
Forza Motorsport 5 finns som bekant redan ute till Xbox One (om än inte officiellt i Sverige) medan Forza Horizon 2 släpps till Xbox 360 och Xbox One den 3 oktober. Kolla i hela Greenawalt-intervjun här nedan, mycket bilkärlek utlovas.
