And Turn 10 tried to bribe their own people ...

Amusing, and funny VG247 didn't catch this yet?! =] It's all over the Internet.
Forza 3 still failed to out-due GT5.
Was utterly retarded. Turn 10 offered a car for voting (well, technically a car for posting in a thread, but same thing) which annoyed one set of fanboys, which annoyed the other set of fanboys... and the result is what you see. 30,000+ votes in total.
The internet is a truly, truly pathetic place.
I put a link to this in the "News?" thread but Pat must not have judged it news-worthy.
Makes you wonder just how much more bribing goes on in order to garner positive statements doesn't it?
And it's certainly interesting that VG247 haven't added this to their recent "Forza developers say Forza is really awesome" articles (written absolutely poe-faced without their traditional sarcastic stingers in, I notice). I've seen it referred to more than once on this site by commenters.
I can't possibly imagine it would recieve such a snubbing if it where representative of a different gaming platform - any whiff of criticism or negative rumour seems to be lasciviously spewed forth (with added sarcasm) and even promoted as one of the three highlighted stories at the top of the site. Funny that.
But it would be nice to see a source more credible than a PlayStation site talking about a Microsoft IP. Not that credible sources mean much to some folk. I guess you can always slap the word "RUMOUR" in front of it and still do a story on it. I've been told that that's more than adequate.
Heh, and even if it were posted as news, it sure as hell wouldn't make it to one of the three highlighted stories at the top of the site would it?
So, yeah, conspicuous by its absence.
Lollerskates, come on pat, stick this up for all to see :)
the forza trailer looks like actual in-game footage and the GT5 footage is doing the old sony spit and shine trick.
I would say a better comparison of both games will actually be in-game footage rather than trailers.
