VG247 has learned that Microsoft intends to release Forza 3 as one of its major 360 titles this holiday.

The game has never been confirmed by the company, although it was heavily involved in the Intellisponse leak fiasco last June.

Intellisponse marketing concepts hinted that the game may feature a Collector’s Edition, DLC, over 100 tracks and 400 cars.

Microsoft’s Q4 first-party line-up for this year is unknown as yet, and we’re still in the dark as to when it’ll be announced.

The publisher hasn’t confirmed a GDC keynote this year: last year it used the platform to announce Gears of War 2, with the rest of its Christmas roster being shown at a US event in May.

Aside from Forza, it’s now known that newly-formed developer Ruffian is working on a “Crackdown 1.5″ product aimed for release at the end of this year.

Halo: ODST will also release in late 2009.

We’ve asked Microsoft for comment.

I am all for more Crackdown but I dont understand the point of a re-release at this point. Everyone who wanted to had the chance to play Crackdown already. Just give us a patch so that we know how many orbs we have found in each area and I will be happy.

Crackdown 1.5? Maybe that's an expansion pack to the game?

Did I miss something in the article? Is 1.5 going to be a re-release or is it a new game?

1.5 generally means an upodate of the original, same game but with new content kind of thing. I am guessing something to hold people over until Crackdown 2 in 2010. If Forza 3 releases before GT5, that will be 3 Forza games in the time it takes PD to do one Gt game.

What other game came out as 1.5? I'm sure there's some, but I don't think it's really that common.

I'm still hoping we get an expansion pack :)

Normally they dont but the 1.5 in the title, but the new Riddick game is an example. It is the XBOX game with HD graphics and a new mission. I am sure there are other examples that I cant think of atm.

No, the new Riddick game has an entirely new campaign in addition to the entire original one.

They had originally planned to only have a little extra, but it turned out to be full-featured with the extra development time they were awarded when publishing rights went to Atari I think it is...
