One of the most anticipated launch titles for Xbox 360, PGR3, might not be ready for launch. At least if we are to believe some EA developers who are working on another launch title Need for Speed : Most Wanted. They said PGR3 is very ambitious, and from what they have seen it won’t make launch.
TalkXbox who recently talked with the EA developers wrote:
I asked about PGR3 and how they are planning to market Most Wanted with another racing title launching so close. The answer: most everyone there at EAX 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. Most of them expect it to be in the second wave of 360 titles, along with Gears of War.
I want to stress that before Microsoft or someone on the actual PGR3 dev team can confirm this, treat this info as a rumor
