Microsoft Exec mentions work on Project Gotham Racing 5

Posted by Bradley Wint on November 25th, 2009 at 9:38 am

A post on Tesla’s blog revealed that one of Microsoft’s gaming studios is at work on Project Gotham Racing 5. MS Exec Tom Burt gave a full detailing about his experience with Turn10 Studios when he recorded different sounds from his Tesla. He gave lots of details about the process, and even mentioned work about Project Gotham Racing 5.

A team of sound engineers from Microsoft Game Studios (some working on Forza, some on Project Gotham Racing) asked if I was willing to take my Roadster to a track so they could record a variety of sounds. Some time ago they had the opportunity to record Tesla motor noises when a prototype was being run on a dyno at Tesla. But the teams were excited about the prospect of recording other sounds, particularly tire skid and squeal noises, without the interference of loud engine and exhaust noise. Of course I said “yes.” – Tom Burt

Microsoft has since then not commented on what they call a rumour, but from the way he mentioned it, it definitely seems like a project in the works. However, there are no details about it and no one knows for sure who is developing it.
