Every day it's something new that comes from their mouths.

*sigh*

If they are done by MS, it's a good strategy.

Crossed out the part that was incorrect.  They did not make any bribes.

And I'm sorry but all the companies are guilty of this from time to time, even Nintendo.

Also, do you actually believe they aren't 1 million polygons each?

Yea it doesn't sound like a bribery.

I can tell you I don't believe they are 1 million polygons each.

That's not a bribe.  They offered this to their very own forum members.  That's like going to your kids and saying, if you vote for me as the best dad in the world I'll give you ice cream!  They were going to vote without that incentive!  All they would have needed is a message and a link to the poll.  They are simply rewarding their supporters, not rewarding them solely for voting.

If it were a bribe, they would have posted the announcement everywhere, and used a term that more than just the hardcore Forza 2 people would understand.  So, not a bribe.  They were already winning the poll even before that forum post.

And I do believe they are 1 million polygons each until you can provide proof otherwise.

But their main competition is not and they have accomplished so much more. Anyway it is all PR and of course they are going to hype their own game. Slamming Gran Turismo every chance they get though is not a very smart thing to do. Gameplay of GT5 has not been shown so Turn 10 will use this time to hype Forza 3 as much as possible.

Time will come when GT5 details are given and PD will not have to say a word, they have more than enough fans to do so. While then I'm sure Yamauchi will be more than happy sitting in one of his many extremely expensive cars given to him as gifts. Mean while I am not able to drive my dad's cars. :(

All Turn 10 can do is make Forza 3 as good as possible however it will never be as popular as Gran Turismo. Don't even need to use my time machine to know that, the name being mentioned in shows such as Top Gear and having their own show is enough.

People need to stop comparing GT to Forza. The only place where GT was more advanced in the past was sales. Forza has always been the more realistic racer with more things to customize.

GT5's final release is rumored to finally have damage, as well as a nascar mode, so in these regards it may finally offer "more" than Forza, but at the same time the cars will not be as good looking as Forza 3's unless they update those as well before the game releases.

Who cares. I won't be playing either one unless they changed Forza 3 a lot. I hate realistic racing sims. I love arcade racers like the old Need for Speed games.

I was with you up until you started talking about the cars in Forza 3 looking better... then I just started laughing at you.

I guess that shows how little you know about the game.  And as I said, I left there to be room to change if PD updates their cars.  Right now there isn't even a contest as Forza 3 cars have like 20x the polygons.

And even then, Forza 3 will still have way more customization options, but that's obviously only for the truly hardcore.  I could care less about some really advanced custom tuning and I would have no idea how to do it.

 

Do you actually believe the cars are 1 million polygons each?

 

Even if they are, more polygons =/= better detail. It's all about how you use them. And 1 man works like a month on one car over at polyphony digital. That's a lot of detail.

 

Not only that but gt cars are 200k each so that would only make them 5 times as much.

I agree... they are extremely hostile lately... l

Well who cares, I hope that GT5 will get higher ratings so they can STFU already... yeah, as far as I see it Forza 2 was good and 3 will be better, but still not GT caliber for me ;)

( waiting for Selnor to come in and start showing metacritics ratings for the 15th time ).


No I'm not going to show meatcritic again. Because alot of fanboys only use and accept meta when it suits them.

I agree Turn 10 are being to vocal in direct competition. They are the common denomitor leader on sims currently. Forza1 over GT4 both 2005 release. Forza 2 has no direct competition. They should let the game speak for itself. Already they have the best visuals for actual gameplay in a driving game, and we all know they can do physics and customization like no other. The fact Tyre deformation is in a sim title at this length for the first time is amazing and is new technology.

Turn 10, stop trashing and let Forza 3 speak for itself. It's quite clear it's capable of doing so.

^Couldn't remember the exact numbers and had them mixed up (was thinking 100k and 2 million).

Do you know how many multiplat owners own both GT and Forza and check both forums?

Hell if I have F2 I would vote for Forza in the poll knowing that I get free stuff by voting for Forza and none for GT.

 

Forza 3 - 1 million
GT5P - 200k

5x more polygons didn't come out with 5x better graphic.

Maybe you can provide some proof of the 1 million poly count other than they BS they said. =)

I can make a box with 480thousind polygons.

It'll still be a square box though..It'll just make my laptop lag :p
