Announced in the last day or so, launch in Fall 2012
EA owns the license for them and Turn 10 paid for the license in F3 but decided the license was too expensive to buy for F4. Turn 10 does the same thing with the Ferrari license which they have exclusive rights to on consoles. When the whole thing about the Porsche license was being debated in tinterwebland the guys at EA responded to the gaming community in a letter saying that what they were asking for in rates was on par with what Turn 10 asks them for to put Ferraris in their games.Trailer has Porsches in it! I thought only EA had them? Maybe more hype than substance at the moment.
Well there you go, community answered. When they announced that Porsche wouldn't be in due to licensing the community basically asked why in this day and age of DLC we can't have the content we want even if we have to pay for it? There we go, we can. Now hopefully they're already working on new tracks for us as well and not wasting resources on their Dodge Horizons.This is the Porsche question answered http://forzamotorsport.net/en-us/porsche_expansion_announce/?fwlhd=1
I read playground games is a company set up by a couple of guys who used to work for Codemasters, not sure if that makes it a good thing or not
