@ hephaestos: Sony got a hammering all around for statements that are untrue. Forza 3 should get a hammering for the same thing.
It's weird that when A does it, they get abuse, but when B does it, those same people start defending it.
Sony has said a LOT of wrong stuff in the past and have gotten burnt because of it. Forza 3-people should get the same treatment. "nothing is within years of"? Laughable. |
I do find that a bit odd, however Turn 10 is producing one game that they feel is years ahead of anything on the market (that is an opinion btw), Sony flat out lied. So, I fail to see how you can compare the two.

A lie is a lie, whether you portray it as an opinion or not. As others have already demonstrated with an old pc-game, there are things that Forza 3 doesn't do and there will be things in future racers that Forza isn't doing at this moment. It isn't an opinion, it's stated as a fact and that fact is plain wrong. They deserve flak for it, since they're just lying. |
You are confusing a lie, and an opinion. If a doctor gives me his "medical" opinion on a medical condition I have, by your logic, I should just call the guy a lier and an arrogant SOB, then go on to compair him to Sony. See how ridiculous that is?
