Gran Turismo 5, King of all Driving Sims
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)

LOL , I would like to take pic, print it out ,and staple it to the head of community manager for forza.

Not choosing either side here but I just want to say that karma is written all over this.
June 11th, 2009 at 1:23 AM
This is priceless. They didn’t have much fate in Forza winning the poll. Even with “bribes” they can’t win. Must have lost all fate now.

I wonder if Turn 10 will take back their free cars now.
June 11th, 2009 at 1:46 AM
I don’t like the article name GT5 will be the King but not yet and let’s not behave like we just Turned 10!

Wow… I didn’t know how much love the 40 dollar demo/beta/prologue was…
They should hurry up and polish the product, and then just give us the neccessary game addition updates later…

FORZA is a flop franchise. no one even cares about that lame franchise.
FORZA2 was given away for free with most x360s .
F3 is an embarrassment . not only does it look bad. it has half the number of tracks and cars as GT PSP and runs at 720p
GT is bigger than all MS franchises combined
2009 is the last year of x360 in console market so after 2009 we wont be hearing BS anymore
June 11th, 2009 at 2:46 AM
what a shame
GT has sold 52 m copies . all x360 franchises combined wont even go close to that
haaaaaa pathetic Xfarts
GT5 will outsell all x360 games on the first day of its release worldwide

in the original PSLS artticle “Forza Developer Using Bribes to Skew CNET Poll”, i posted a comment stating that if GT5 won the CNET poll, i’d laugh for a week. and that’s exactly what i’ll do. i don’t really consider myself a ‘fanboy’ but i hate Microsoft and i feel too old to be shaking a controller at kiddy games on the Wii. i bought a PS3 ’cause Sony has never let me down and i wanted the best gaming system on the market. when my 60gig eventually dies i’ll be getting a new PS3. no need to go elsewhere to get my gaming fix. plus, the XBOX controllers are so freakin’ weird. why am i telling you all this? not sure. i lost my train of thought ’cause i can’t stop laughing. i keep thinking about how stupid the Turn 10 guys must feel right now, and at how many thousands of XBOX racing fanboys are pissed off. total lolz.

wasim007
well infamous is free with a new ps3 does that mean thats shit?
how about R&C future tools, or MGS4?
dident think so.
and GT5 selling 52M copies worldwide day 1 jesus christ mate you need to lay off the acid and get in touch with reality.
as for GT5 being the sim king well THE KING”: (DNF) never came out, looks like this is heading for the same fate.
ill be playing forza 4 by the time GT5 is out

tell forza developers are gettin desperate
June 11th, 2009 at 10:11 AM
I wonder what it would have looked like if the Forza developer had never mentioned it.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:34 AM
GTA 5 will be great, no doubt. I also thought GRID was/is a great racer.
June 11th, 2009 at 12:06 PM
this isnt shocking to me at all in fact money is the only reason why theres even an xbox360 out in the market, microsoft goes around buying there way through its how they’ve always done and they will continue to do it because they know if they werent so damn rich sony would of ate them alive along time ago. forza can have all the options in the but the truth is that it feels more like project gotham(arcade) than gt(racing simulator) there will never be a better racing simulator Gran Turismo is king!
June 11th, 2009 at 12:07 PM
Gran Turismo all the way, better graphics, better physics, more cars, more options, more races they just cant lose. That is hilarious tho with that whole Cnet bribe thing from the other day.
June 11th, 2009 at 1:26 PM
FAILL for forza
June 11th, 2009 at 2:49 PM
Editor’s note: After numerous complaints of cheating and in-game content being offered as payment for votes, I’ve decided to close the poll. Way to ruin the fun for the rest of us, guys.
06/11/2009 at 4:58 PM
Just saw that in the article, wow.
June 11th, 2009 at 3:12 PM
Haha, that’s classic.
