[QUOTE="PCGamer248"]

Actually that's opposite from the truth. Heck, even Miyomoto played with the PSP-Go and no one has made a thread that the PSP is better than the DS. I don't see the hipocrisy here.

PCGamer248

Miyamoto as I stated b4, wasn't standing over the PSP Go with a notepad and pen, taking notes. There would be nothing to talk about if Polyphony just stopped by to have a look at their competition..... that just makes sense that you'd be curious about your competition.....

.... LOL.... but they WERE TAKING NOTES..... TAKING NOTES..... which essentially says... Polyphony obviously thinks that Forza3 is superior in some way, and they acknowledge it by TAKING NOTES! LOL at all you fanboys trying to spin this..... You all work for Sony PR, or something?

That's not the point. Who cares if he had a notepad with him, he was over there playing the console. Do you think that he's stoo stupid to remember what he saw without having to write it down? I'm glad Polyphony is taking notes. They are the smarter developers. Good developers take notes and ideas from everyone, even their competition. And the point isn't rather Polyphony is taking notes or not, the point is that other developers have done that in the past, it doesn't matter if they had a note pad with them, their brain is the note.

It seems like you're too simple minded to understand what i'm trying to say. Who cares if they took note, you claim ownage. I'm saying it's not ownage, it's smart. And who cares if Polyphony thinks Forza 3 is superior to GT5? That's a good trait, to never underestimate the competition. I hope for your sake, Forza 3 developers take notes too, or their product will end up being the inferior one.

LOL, "he"?Did you even click on the link? Or were you too excited to defend your purchase?

Oh and "their brain is the note" LOL.... so now Polyphony shares a single brain?

And I'm simple minded?

ps1 was the first fully marketed console to have 4 total shoulder buttons. ps1 was first to have dual analogs. ps2 was first to use dvd format...the list goes on and on. i will admit that sony copies but MS does just as much. if i give anyone credit, its nintendo for doing their own thing.

He said L1/R1.... nice try though.

Yeah... MS & Sony both copy others..... but Sony does it more, don't agree... I don't care, I know the truth.

actually the 1st company thought of it it was nintendo back in the 80's fllowed by sega and sony made the huge step forward to master this feature and to make it the standard joystique design for all the other joystique's that came afterwards ps ( i had all the past consoles and i made some researchs on the internet on that just subject just read history

I don't see the 'pwnage' of a company playing the competitor's game. Its called doing research to improve their own work?

Guess some people don't know who Sun Tzu is. Know thyself and know thy enemy, fight a hundred battles and have a hundred victories. :roll:

I'm sure the people at turn 10 must've played gran turismo some point in their lives as well.

Forza 3 will be better than GT5 unless GT5 has some sort of car painting feature and an auction house Those 2 features alone will make me shelve GT5 months before I put Forza away, even though I will own both the day they come out.

Catpee
Well, GT PSP has a car trading feature. I doubt GT5 will have a car customization setup as in-depth as FM3's though. But there is NASCAR and Rally. I'll be getting both most likely too. I'm eager to discover all of the features and mechanics for both games.

[QUOTE="whatisazerg"]

Because you're reading into it, and getting out of it what you want.... which is to try and label me a fanboy.

whatisazerg

Um no. You clearly stated GT5 is inferior. If X is more than Y then Y is less than X. Don't deny that. It's simple logic.

You stated Forza is better than GT5. Therefore, GT5 is less than Forza, so yes, you did say GT5 is "less good" than Forza.

Also, you are trying to start a fanboy war over something small. Devs look into the competition to see how they can counter, improve, etc. It's nothing new, and it's certainly not PWNAGE! Polyphony knows Turn 10 has made a good game, they are interested to see how they can 1 Up it.

I posed a question..... look for "?" That's usually an easy way for you to determine whether it's a question or a statement...

Followed by: Kinda looks like it, in other words: It kinda looks like Forza is better. You stated Forza is better, even if slightly. And are you talking to yourself? Do you usually ask questions and answer them yourself with your own answer? If you are asking us whether Forza is better, then ask it. Don't make a question and then answer it because then you can turn that question into a statement. So yes, you were making a statement, not asking a question. You answered your own question. From your very own mouth, you said it: Forza is looking slightly better than GT5. Not to mention the fact that if you DID mean it as a question, you would have clearly indicated that to chathuranga instead of telling him he was "reading into it" :roll:

nice try

[QUOTE="Darth_DuMas"]

The usual SW hypocrisy is here alive and well, as usual if the shoe was on the other foot, all the cows would show no mercy with their thread and it would be a legit one at that (somehow).

I can see it now, "Forza devs taking lessons in how to make a real driving game", my God they recently tore Forza 3 a new one, because it wasn't 1080p native (apparently that made it an awful, awful game)

So regardless of the whether this thread is fanboyish or not, I really and truly hope the cows don't come in here acting like they're above it for the love of God.

whatisazerg

EXACTLY! Cows like to dish it out.... but they can't take it. Everyone knows if it was the other way around, Forza fans would have to hear about it for all of eternity. Evenif Forza3 scores higher than GT5, the Cows would fall back on "that's only because Forza devs copied Polyphony Dev's".... and of course that wouldn't make any sense, since if they copied it then their scoresshould be the same.... but that wouldn't stop a heard of Sony Fanboys running to the thread to agree with their beloved TC.

The fact that you all swarmed to this thread is proof enough that you're fanboys.... if you weren't thenwhat I saidwouldn't have bothered you so much.

Perhaps if you actually dished something out, there would be something cows wouldnt be able to take. Nevermind the fact that you are being very vague and generalizing all defenders of PS3/GT5. And no, not "everyone knows if it was the other way around, Forza fans would have to hear about it for all of eternity" You have no evidence of that, just an assumption that hypocrisy is a characteristic inherited somehow by people who own a PS3

So now, your trying to say that there is something unethical about the sharing of ideas in terms of product design? Lets not get into the ethics of business, it's sad enough that people are fighting over who stole a petty controller scheme.

[QUOTE="hy4k"]sony copied the wiimote and now they're copying forza hilarious

well first of all i have to clear something that (( i am not a fanboy at all n nither sony or ms own me.... )) so hopefuly my p.o.v will be fair enough ang give the credit to whom who deserve it based on true facts 1st: i have to admit that gt since it began and we saw it in the market it was always difrenet and unique in it's visuals and in it's gameplay to and i really watched carefully all the main 3 confrence ms.sony and nintendo and reach to these facts in interview with ms marketing manger said that they wanted to make the absolute car simulating game cause the they knew that the other company wich is ( sony ) one of the main reasons people will go to buy thire consoles is gt5 so they want to fill this " gab " by making that game wich is forza 3 and also exclusive to xbox as gt5 to sony so they could compete at that point with sony. 2nd : devolopers of pd taking notes on forza3 dosen't make them less at all cause u know what? forza devolopers are always taking all the notes and marks from gt in there hidden lab (not in puplic) in order to try to compete them cause simply ms asked them to try to do something as good as gt5 on xbox360 so they put it in their mind and their consideration and it was their target ..... and i really see nothing wrong in this cause simply polyphony was pioneer in that field and every good devoloper will learn something or tow from them.. 3: pd when they went to try forza 3 and took that notes it was in puplic cause they simply knew that ms told forza developers the point i mentioned before so they wanna know exactly how far forza 3 devolopers reached in achiving that goal (that i mentioned before ) and i know that mr Kazunori Yamauchi (the father of gt series) is a really pioneer developer in taking racing game to start the era of photo realisem befor any other game could raech, (and by the way if u follow his latests inventions this guy invented a new system for nissan company made specifically for nissan gt-r called '' multifunction meter '' to be the 1st ever made system in car's industry !! and here is the links if u like to check it out http://www.gameculture.com/node/654 http://www.gran-turismo.com/en/news/d1382.html so this guy is not only '' a '' game devolper ihe is something much more than that he helped nissan engineers to take the best advantage performance out of their car on the real life road!! so simply this guy know excatly what he is doing he is not only an ordinary '' good game developer developing a good simulation game '' he also develop new things for cars in real life to make it prefom much better on the road!! and there are alot of big car companies like vw and others thanked this guy for helping them to promote and show their cars in his gt series that helped them in their promotions and sales and made the people know much more about the real experince for riding their cars!! one thing more this guy owns 3 gt super cars in his own garage that he daily ride and test to help him reach to a better understanding of what is '' the riding simulation car experince '' should be like!! ( pls note that i am note that i am only giving the credits that each one should deserve and i am not making the forza 3 devoloper look much less it's just i am sticking to the real world facts tha's all )...thanks

They just wanted to see what a near finished build to a complete game is. There have been rumors of that at the studio and I think they just wanted confirmation that it's not just some urban legend.....:P

LOL.... I'm not really into racing sims anymore.... but this is pretty funny.I wonder what sort of Damage Control we'll see from a certain fanboy camp.

Forza 3 >>>> GT5?..... kinda looks like it.

whatisazerg

You can't be serious. You don't think developers always take ideas from other developers? It happens in all forms of businesses...

I thought this was common sense. It's done everyone, in professional sports...everywhere.

It's common practice in all kinds of business. It's nothing to claim ownage or get defensive about. If anything, lems and Turn 10 can feel good about their product, but that's it.

Oh I know, just because people do get offensive doesn't mean it's something to actually get defensive about. This whole thread is silly. If TC would have just posted the info instead of being fanboyish about it, well, it would have turned into this anyways lol.

i just love Japanese devs. gt5 checking out forza 3, shigeru miyamoto checking out the psp-go, and last year Hideo Kojima checking out the dudes from Infinity Ward. i mean, i'd love to go to Tokyo Game Show and find out that devs there check out each other's projects and so, unlike here in North America where devs only know how to exaggerate their franchises to death (and yes, i'm kinda looking at you ubisoft, activision, and ea sports). that last sentence from Turn 10 was really unnecessary, or should i say impolite. they welcomed them to their booth, answered their questions, and when they left Turn 10 goes boasting about the gt5 devs' visit. seriously. i know it was an interview for Kotaku, but im just ashamed of those devs. i dont remember Kazunori dissing the Forza series directly (and i mean explicitly direct). good thing japanese people are polite and dont bad-mouth other people's projects like that. pffttt....

i just love Japanese devs. gt5 checking out forza 3, shigeru miyamoto checking out the psp-go, and last year Hideo Kojima checking out the dudes from Infinity Ward. i mean, i'd love to go to Tokyo Game Show and find out that devs there check out each other's projects and so, unlike here in North America where devs only know how to exaggerate their franchises to death (and yes, i'm kinda looking at you ubisoft, activision, and ea sports). that last sentence from Turn 10 was really unnecessary, or should i say impolite. they welcomed them to their booth, answered their questions, and when they left Turn 10 goes boasting about the gt5 devs' visit. seriously. i know it was an interview for Kotaku, but im just ashamed of those devs. i dont remember Kazunori dissing the Forza series directly (and i mean explicitly direct). good thing japanese people are polite and dont bad-mouth other people's projects like that. pffttt....

Lol, I guess you haven't read about what Tomonobi Itagaki had to say about the developers behind Bayonetta.

Notice how almost everyone who is upset by this thread has an Avatar or Sig relating to the PS3, or 1 of it's franchises in some way.

Geee.....what a coincidence. :lol:

I don't even care about Forza 3 or GT5... I think racing sims are boring....regardless of how well they are done.

But that doesn't change facts.... if you gotta take notes on your competition, obviously you realize they have something that you don't. THERE's NO WAY AROUND IT!

By all means though.... keep lying to yourselves... close your eyes, plug your ears... and scream "NO" over and over.

I especially love the argument... "Everyone does it... it's okay".... and then a game comes out that's a blatant rip off of God of War... and then its all.... "OMG, no originality, they had to copy GoW.... ahhhh.... LOL" fanboys are so funny.

If you honestly don't think every other company does it you are really kidding yourself. How each company decides to use that information is entirely up to them.

It is good that they are taking notes. I dont see any reason to make fun of them. Because of their current action, GT would be able to become better than before.

Exactly, I don't know why people try and turn this into a negative. This is a huge kudos to Turn 10.

[QUOTE="whatisazerg"]

really? this news is old?

this is the 1st i heard of it....

regardless its still funny and a ton of ownage.

jakehouston88

How is it ownage? They were just checking out the bad competition.

GT5> Forza 3

:lol:

If it's such a bad competition, why would they be taking pictures, notes, and asking "interesting" questions?

They have finally realized that Forza is a worthy competitor, and that it is in fact the superior driving simulator, so they have to get their act together.

I don't see the ownage anywhere. How many times has it been said that this is a common practice? I'd rather Poly and T10 take notes and notice the competition. BTW, this doesn't infer that they're "copying" T10 either. Taking notes is probably the best way to go about it, instead of going purely off of memory.

Microsoft's entire pitch for Forza was basically that it was better than GT, reading between the lines, at least. Kind of suggests that actually, Forza was modeled off GT.

So when a Policeman takes a note, that means the offender must have a Porcshe?

Where did I claim that no one else does this sort of thing? Please show me. And where did I say it was okay for them? But facts are facts..... the guy who needs to copy from someone else, is the guy admitting that someone else has the answer that he doesn't.

GT5 may very well turn out to be a better sim racer than Forza3, I don't know.... but it's funny as heck that Polyphony was seen & photographed taking notes on Turn10's game.

Like I said b4, if this had been the other way around.... Forza fans wouldnt even be able to visit this forum.

It's not funny. You don't think Turn 10 has ever looked at Poly's stuff?

This is just silly.

And you're just proving how both sides are hypocrites, which is something that didn't need reminding.
