Mitsubishi has used Gran Turismo as a tool for testing their real life vehicles....Forza has been used for what again?


lol, that proves nothing, GT is the bigger franchise with more money behind it, Forza is just a rising star.


GTs gaming franchise strength means Fuk all to Toyota or BMW.

But they did sent out GT demo disks with their cars as previews, they trust GTs physics well nuf to use it to show case their cars.  So Auto manafactuers trust GTs physics over anyhtign else bud, do you get that ?

trust the physics? How does that come into it at all? If GT's physics were way off, but the game showed their cars hugging the road and taking 150mph turns that the real cars could never make - whereas Forza's more realistic physics had the car sliding off the road and crashing at those speeds - which do you think they'd use?

And the franchise strength DOES matter. They'd want thier  cars associated to a franchise people love. It's not surprising that it's a japanese and British company that used GT, since it's biggest in Japan and Europe.
