Gran Turismo 5, King of all Driving Sims

06/11/2009

The votes are in! The good news is Gran Turismo still holds the crown for best driving simulator on the market. Recently media conglomerate CNET did a readers poll which pitted the driving jauggarnaut, GT5 vs. the “Johnny come lately” Forza Motorsport 3.

Well contrary to what others have reported, Gran Turismo has reigned supreme. This is in spite of Forza’s Community Manager greasing the palms of Forza forum users with rare DLC for Forza 2. Some may feel that this is merely an incentive, but the publisher or the developer had to be aware of this. Who else would have green lighted giving away DLC in such quantities? The forum thread netted well over 2,200 replies, the majority were requests for the DLC.

Gran Turismo 5 52% (15731 votes) vs. Forza Motorsport 3 48% (14530 votes)

It seems Turn 10 were left with pie on their face. Their bribe did not work!

Forza series has been really good but it isn't in the same league as GT is period. Turn 10 can't make big games so soon it would seem.

Eh, Considering the longer history the GT series has behind it, and the bigger fanbase that comes with it, that poll is awfully close.
And i expect GT5 and FM3 to be somewhat similar as far as Racing simulation is concerned(not to be mistaken for prettier graphics)

Polls are kind of pointless. Better to just wait for the finished products and then compare.

A poll of gamers asking "which sim WILL be the best?".... idiotic. And in any event its hardly a landslide is it... 52 : 48...

pointless really.

Great minds.... ;)
