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.

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. =)

Unfortunately polygon counts only come from developers. Even GT5P poly counts come from PD. There is no way that polys can be tested. You would have to visibley count them in wireframe. The fact they state it on their official website as factsheet is enough. Otherwise wheres your proof PD made cars with 200k, what if they were lying?

There is a point where more polys wont look alot better, but Forza 3 I believe uses alot of extra polys for their interiors. Which are definately alot more detailed than GT5P.

But I'm sure GT5 will be slightly better or worse than Forza 3. Making graphics a moot point between the 2.

Unless the e3 trailer of GT5 was anywhere near ingame in which case it blows forza 3 so far out of the water that you won't even be able to see it.

Lol, so they can't possibly be telling the truth because you don't think so.  And I never said more polys = better graphics, just implied that it usually means better detail.

Well, considering the last GT was GT4 (or GT5:P), I bet there is a very small amount of people who have both series (which would require both the 360 and PS3 and maybe a PS2).  And an even smaller amount that check both forums on a daily basis.

Do you even know what a unicorn is?  To anyone who isn't a super hardcore Forza 2 fan, they'd think, "Well that's gay" and disregard it.  Seriously, this wasn't a bribe as I already described to you how it isn't.  If it was, it was the most retarded and worthless bribe they could have attempted.
