Race Track Rivalry

Developers of the Grand Tourismo series were supposed to debut their new game GT5 at the E309, but didn’t. Polyphony the developers of the series are coming under fire or failing to do so, and gamers and pundits alike are both nervous about the planned Dec 09 releases, however developers say the game will still come out on time.

The Grand Tourismo series has long been considered one of the best, if not the best racing sim. Series out there, but it is unfortunately an exclusive PS title. The Forza series is the Microsoft come back. Forza 3 was supposed to go head to head with GT5, but unfortunately Sony only showed a trailer of the game. For the first time the series sees damage modeling, however, nothing more was revealed, even in press conferences later.

Greenwalt the franchise director for Forza said he was surprised that GT didn’t show up, while his game was playable on the floor at E3.

He also added that he felt like he was taking over from Yamouchi-san, the owner of polyphony and GT brain. He said that GT was his inspiration to get into gaming, and he did so only because of how much he loved that game… and then he went and joined the competition? He says that if feels like he’s taking over from Yamouchi-san, because the GT series hasn’t really come out with anything new is sometime.

Essentially this could be a story of the pupil outdoing the teacher, except the teacher never wanted to be out done… and is being outdone by the greatest competition he faces. My advice? Teacher go ask him for his right thumb! It’s a mahabharat story, drop a comment if you wanna more.
