I expect a bit more class from a developer. They seem to attack GT every chance they get.

Do you not understand buisness? In the buisness world you always want to try to prove yourself by attacking the top dog.

Its like in a fight, if you want to prove something you fight the big guy, not the small guy. Yeah you may lose, but if you win, you will have caught the attention of everyone.

If Forza can topple the big dog, then guess what, they become king of the hill.

Microsoft promote their games, as they always do. What do you want T10 community PR person to say go vote for GT5?

Though I have to say even as nut some of you are here, it's worst at the SonyGaf forum ...

imo this isn't really bribery. After all, the post was made on the official forza forums where everyone is likely to have played forza 1 or 2 and also likely to be a huge fan of the forza franchise. So even with or without the incentive provided by the turn 10 community manager, i'm sure all or most of users on the forum would have voted for forza 3.

But what's in question is not whether or not the bribery was necessary/effective or not, but the fact that Turn 10 did turn to bribery, and what that means for their character/moral code. The fact that the bribery wasn't necessary/effective doesn't change in anyway, the fact that Turn 10 was willing to turn to it, and disregard moral priniciples.

Wow, people are so insecure.  This isn't bribery.  If they wanted to bribe people, they'd post this announcement on websites other than their own forum.  This was simply an informative announcement and a treat to give their honorable supporters.  Even if they had just said, "Vote for Forza 3, guys" and gave a link it would have had nearly the same affect.

Seriously, you guys will try to take any small insignificant and harmless act and turn it into something negative.

Once again Skeeuk digs up the bad news on Forza 3 because he just can't ever possibly post good stuff about the 360.

Well, if thats true. Then why did back in 2006 everyone talk bad about Sony and their arrogance? And even so, I didn't see Sucker Punch talk shit to Radical about Infamous being better than Prototype.

 

You don't have to slam a competitor to get on top, the game should speak for itself.

The undisputed Sony leader says Turn 10 can do better, im dissapointed with them they can do better than this.


Do you have a link to where the undisputed Sony leader said that?

 

On Topic: They know Forza isn't as good as Gran Turismo. It's good, but its no Gran Turismo.

Wow. These forums have gone crazy this morning. Natal can't detect black people, Forza 3 is bribing people, Valve controversy. And all of it is either completely trivial, overblown, or baseless.

LMAO true. them saying this is ''pathetic'' is almost too ironic too be true. I say try again, sonyboys.

I didn't look at it that way

It all does sound silly when you put it all together.

So people are arguing to make a bribery sound like a normal marketing strategy?

It's not about right or wrong, it just told everyone how desperate they are. With a little poll that apparently nobody cares, they had to use cheap shot to make themselves look superior.


Well, can't blame them to come up with such cheap shot. They are under Microsoft and probably influenced by MS's strategy.



Just compare what they said about GT and what PD said about Forza.



CAL4M1TY on 09 June 2009

Haha.

The reaction from sony fans is hilarious. MS must have had a massive showing at E3 if the reaction afterwards is to present every blog, every forum post, every twitter post, every facebook group, every article, every anedoctal recollection as being credible news and new thread worthy.

I wonder how cluttered with crap the Sony forum would be if MS fanboys did the same thing.

I too feel that Turn 10 is going a bit overboard with the taking the fight to Polyphony, but I'm not going to waste my time scouring the depths of the internet junk yard to find scraps of negative news about them.

It's the definitive racer of the generation. What do you expect?
