Forza's car collecting inspired by Pokemon
Pink slips instead of Poke Balls
What could 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Forza Motorsport and Pokemon possibly have in common? According to Turn 10 creative director Dan Gre🅠enawalt in an interview with , he knew 🔯one way to make the original 2005 racing game stand out from the automotive pack was by compelling players to catch-em-all — in this case, car titles.
"It did collecting using a rarity system — through different coloured versions — with a sense that everything felt very natural. A🎃nd actually, there’s a really natural sense of rarity in cars." Greenawalt said. "So in Forza 1, the cars had a rarity meter, and you had to pick your region — much like choosing Pokémon Sapphire or Ruby — and that made certain cars more or less rare in the game. That was directly inspired by Pokémon."
He said comparisons between upcoming open-world racer 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Forza Horizon and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Burnout Paradise are mostly irrelevant. Instead, his team specifically looked outside the racing genre and took more inspiration from games like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Red Dead Redemption and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that⛦, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo.
