I saw this picture on the Turn 10 Studios blog: That's Dan Greenawalt (left) from Turn 10 Studios (Forza Motorsport 3), posing with Kazunori Yamauchi (right), CEO of Polyphony Digital (Gran Turismo 5). Here's the blog post where I found the picture: http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/blogs/post.aspx?App=turn_10s_forza_motorsport_blog&y=2009&m=11&d=06&PostName=forza-motorsport-3-week-in-review-11-6 So to the console-exclusivity fanboys, yes, apparently it is possible to respect your competition. Kudos to both developers for making the best racing games ever made.

Forza Motorsport 3 Vs. Gran Turismo 5 poll is underway over on CNET: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13746_7-10256571-48.html Poll: Forza 3 vs. Gran Turismo 5 by Antuan Goodwin E3 2009 has come and gone, leaving delicious trailers and tons of information for Polyphony Digital's Gran Turismo 5 and Turn 10's Forza Motorsport 3 racing sims in its wake. It looks like it's time for the digital drag race to begin anew. Will the winner be GT5, with its new WRC and NASCAR modes, or scrappy Forza 3, with its in-depth customization options and more flexible difficulty levels? Sure, you could just get both and have double the fun, but only one can be the best. Check out the trailers below in HD, cast your votes, and get your fanboy on with your comments. Current Poll Results as of June 9, 2009: Looks like Gran Turismo is no longer relevant to today's gamers.

Now this is an interesting turn of events. Blog post from Che Chou of Turn 10, the studio working on Forza Motorsport 3: http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/blogs/turn_10s_forza_motorsport_blog/archive/2009/06/05/the-road-to-october-looking-beyond-e3-2009.aspx ************ Besides the consistent line of showgoers wanting to try their hand at this rare spectacle, we also had quite a few celebrities come through to play the Forza 3 ride-of-show cockpit. The list is as surreal to me now as it was when I saw (some of) them with my own eyes: Steven Spielberg, Victoria Beckham (with her little boy), Incubus drummer Jose Pasillas, DJ and Turntablist Chris Killmore, folks from LA Galaxy, Aisha Tyler, some dude who came by to shoot a segment for the Jimmy Fallon Late Night Show, and more. Perhaps the most surprising to me was when a couple developers from Gran Turismo makers Polyphony Digital came by to personally get hands-on with Forza 3, all the while taking careful notes, examining our UI sys...

On the week that the world will [possibly] get a first glimpse at Forza Motorsport 3, Microsoft's answer to the Gran Turismo series on the Playstation 3, it is being announced that NO questions will be entertained regarding Gran Turismo 5. Only questions regarding Gran Turismo PSP will be entertained, apparently. Source: http://www.vg247.com/2009/06/01/rumour-yamauchi-wont-talk-gt5-at-e3/ Those interviewing Polyphony Digital legend Kazanori Yamauchi at E3 tomorrow have been told not to ask questions about Gran Turismo 5, VG247 has learned. Meaning? Well, presumably that the game du jour for the Sony car kids is going to be GT PSP only. SCEA’s John Koller confirmed GT was on the way to PSP Go in the “leaked” Qore ep this weekend, and it now looks clear the focus will be on the handheld title as far as Gran Turismo’s concerned. In my opinion....at this rate, Microsoft will probably release Forza Motorsport 5 by the time Sony is comfortable to even talk about Gran Turismo 5. Gran Tur...
