@Chris, the PSP Gran Turismo scores are mainly based upon it's lack of a proper career mode, which was the goal of the developer; bite-sized Gran Turismo. Forza 3 definitely looks very good, but it's about taste. Some people don't care about licensed cars, some thirst for all the manufacturers and the latest models and concepts. Some demand hyper-realism, some like easy scalability and a more arcade tone. Choice is good and since both are going to be on the market who cares.
Saying that GT is resting on its name is quite a statement because that's exactly what PD doesn't work tireless hours to do.
They are however resting on the piss poor demo that was Prologue, until they deliver a proper game this generation all their talk is for nothing.
Turn 10 are seriously one of the most cocky developers I can remember recently. That's a turn off for me, especially when their rivals keep shut and just let them run their mouths.
The Forza community is amazing and their create features bring a lot to a very well trodden genre.
@John-117 That's fair. Sorry if I gave the impression that I don't find Gran Turismo to be a grand technical feat, cause I really, really do. It's just one that's been repeated 5 times, and I'm starting get a little bored with it.
Admittedly, I was intentionally prodding Turismo fans, but competition like Forza will only produce better games from both sides in in the future, right? So there's really no reason to hate on either other than shits and gigs.
Besides, didn't the fanboys read the part where I said Turismo looked better?
I totally get what you're saying, any time a game series has released so many titles it's hard not to find it getting more and more stale.
Competition is the best part of this, I personally don't believe PD would never have even given cosmetic damage a chance were it not for the Forza series. Also, let's hope GT seriously beefs up the online components, they have a lot of room to grow in that regard.
