There is no rush, they need to reset this franchise, stop putting out half finished games and than make us beg for features that should not have been removed in the first place. Anyway you know very well they will not tell us here. It will be an announcement at some games conference most likely.
I would hope the last two years weren't spent just tooling around wondering about an approach and that at least some development work on the basics of the game, such as tracks, must have been laid down. God knows we have enough cars in the game and Chris did mention that they are working on a new tire model, so if if takes them maximum another two years to complete FM8 or whatever it will be called, I see them focusing mainly on tire/tarmac physics and other related physics, weather phases, which they have plenty from the Horizon series, and some serious cut scenes and voice overs for during race play to make the game more informative while on the track. In other words, four years is more than enough time to blow our socks off in terms of a different approach to Forza Motorsport.
