Playground Games developing "visually stunning" racer (Forza Horizon 2)

[Mavrick]

Playground Games, the studio behind last year's open world racer Forza Horizon, is developing a "visually stunning", "genre-leading" racer, according to job ads listed by the developer.

The game is referenced by multiple ads on Playground's website, which ask for candidates who are "fanatical about cars and car culture, with an encyclopaedic knowledge of the auto industry... [and] a strong working knowledge of vehicle mechanics and car setup", and with an "excellent working knowledge of, and a real passion for, the racing genre".

"Working at senior level in a team of rendering engineers, you will be responsible for implementation of cutting edge rendering techniques," reads an ad for a Rendering Engineer. "Engineers with in-depth knowledge of current-gen consoles are ideal for this role, as you will innovate on this technology to produce a visually stunning title."

So basically they saw Drive Club and wanted their own rival

That is so ridiculous it's laughable.

It's just a job ad, nothing actually exists! Every job ad in the world will lead you to believe you are going to be doing something amazing, then you turn up and you're doing the same thing as thousands of others.

Visually stunning? We'll be the judges of that when and if this title ever turns up! For now, it's nothing but vapour-ware.
