Forza Horizon isnt looking to other racing games when it comes to innovating the open world racing genre according to Turn 10s creative director. <\/p>\n
Turn 10 Studios and Playground Games are hoping it can attract a whole new generation of petrol heads by exploring games like Red Dead Redemption and GTA. <\/p>\n
Turn 10s creative director, Dan Greenawalt, insists Forza Horizons new ideas have come from everywhere but the racing genre. <\/p>\n
Red Dead Redemption, Assassins Creed, World Of Warcraft... I dont think its actually the racing games that have come to forefront this year, explained Greenawalt. <\/p>\n
