Forums - Sales - FORZA 3 is meant to be the GRAN TURISMO KILLER!

people please remember this thread and the one who started, for the time when some fool comes up with a thread stating how xbox 360 owners claimed that forza 3 would be the gt5 killer. mark my words it will happen,

I didn't say this, I said microsoft have sent out a clear message through the statements Turn 10 are handing out to the press.

The message is simple "Forza 3 is here & we'r taking down GT with it"

Ideally this was the ideal next move, if I was MS I would've done the same



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

i think it has a shot at "gran turismo", it seems gt has taken it easy the last few entries in the series and forza is getting better with each new game. i think gt5 must make a comeback in a big way or it will lose its so called crown.

Ironically Forza 2's Metacritic score is lower than Forza 1

so its a declining series

Forza is no Gran Turismo. It's just the way it is

Simple as that really. Killzone will never be Halo and Forza will never be Gran Turismo.

People can talk out their ass until the cows fly home but that is how it will be.

 

+1

I like it when we agree!

By saying "killer" I cannot help but think we are talking about sales here. Nothing will make Forza 3 sell more than GT5 and that includes a halo-esque advert campaign. Simply a minute of a shitty advert from Sony with "GT5" at the end = million seller first week.

1 million first week for Forza 3 would be fantastic however for GT5 that would be a failure so it shows how big each franchise is. Quality wise both will be AAA and sales wise both will sell enough to warrant a sequal. Beyond that who really cares besides growing their e-penis more?



 

Has any Killer actually killed?



Former something....

@RPG

yes we ALL know that......but in their mind Forza 3 needs to be a GT Killer

Its the perfect next step for Xbox 360 domination, take playstation last remaining strong exclusive franchise.

the way Turn 10 are saying things like "GT dropped the ball.....forza's picking it up" only leads me to believe it is going to be positioned as a GT Killer.

And expect Halo level marketing in Europe





All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

I think Forza 3 will outsell GT5 if:

-MS puts alot of advertising this holiday to really promote this game as the "definitive racer"

-GT5 doesnt release until Spring or Fall 2010 (most likely)

-Forza 3 will be patched/upgraded to be playable with Project Natal on launch next fall (ala Burnout Paradise technical demo but with more refined controls)

I think people would have laughed last gen if you told them the next Mario Kart would hit 20 million while the next gen Gran Turismo would be lucky to hit 10 million... so anything is possible
