Greenwalt: "Forza Motorsport 3 beter dan Gran Turismo 5"

Allard (Allard88)
Stevige woorden van Forza Motorsport 3 game-director Dan Greenwalt. In een interview zegt de goede man dat Forza Motorsport op dit moment geen gelijke kent en dat het alle competitie achter zich laat. Alle competitie? Ja, ook Gran Turismo. Greenwalt:

"I'm in this industry because of Gran Turismo, let's just be frank," said Greenwalt. He then explained that Gran Turismo inspired his first "stressful" car purchase, a Mitsubishi 3000GT, saying that is was "a great car in that game, and I thought 'Oh my God, if I'm ever going to have a car, that's the car that I want.'" Then things got ugly.

"So, props to Kazunori Yamauchi-san and the PS1 team," said Greenwalt. "That said," he continued, "I feel that he's passed us the baton. Perhaps he hasn't meant to, but we have taken the genre to new levels and they've stopped evolving the genre. So again, tremendous respect to him, but I'd say the differentiator is they're old school." He conclued, "The emperor's naked, and I don't want to, you know, I don't want to slap him around, but no game competes [with] us right now."

Met andere woorden; Greenwalt heeft ontzettend veel respect voor Gran Turismo, maar vindt dat Forza inmiddels het stokje heeft overgenomen en eigenlijk alle andere racers achter zich laat.
