The xflop 1.5 full circle launch title list gets shorter and shorter,
weaker and weaker, lamer and lamer.

Rumours and speculation have begun to spread around the web that one of
the assumed launch titles for Xbox 360 will not be in actual fact a
launch title at all. A report on Xbox community site Talk Xbox has
described a recent visit to EA and mentioned that, "...everyone there
at EAX Canada doesn't expect PGR3 to make launch...Microsoft has
apparently been giving EA all the help they can give with getting Most
Wanted out at launch (which they are on track to do), and they
wouldn't be doing that as much as they are if they had their own
racing game ready for launch. Also, PGR3 is very ambitious, and from
what they've seen it won't make launch."
Whilst this is certainly hearsay at this stage with the Microsoft
mantra "we [Microsoft] can't comment on rumour and speculation"
ringing in our ears, if Project Gotham Racing 3 turns out to miss the
Xbox 360 launch it will mean that the next-gen console will be relying
on third-party titles as well as Kameo and Perfect Dark Zero from
recently underachieving Microsoft Game Studios developer, Rare.
With no Halo 3 to form a launch pad for the system this year, and the
prospect of PGR3 coming in a second wave of Xbox 360 titles (which will
include the highly anticipated Gears of War - also a Microsoft Game
Studios title) the weight of responsibility on Rare's shoulders is
not to be underestimated. Having said that the developer has an
illustrious history so if the rumour does turn out to be correct, Rare
are sure to rise to the challenge (we hope).
