Gran Turismo Makers (PS3) Play Forza 3 (Xbox 360)

In an interesting story, it has been revealed that the developers for Gran Turismo, Polyphony Digital, have spent some hands-on time with Forza 3, according to the Turn 10 studio blog - the guys behind Forza motorsport.

As Kotaku reports, not only did the GT makers sit down and play Forza, they were taking notes at the same time, taking photos and asking the devs at Turn 10 Studios all kinds of questions.

The Official Turn 10 blog reads:

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 system, shooting photos, and directly asking us some pretty interesting questions. The reason I say I was personally surprised was because PD aren’t generally known as a studio to acknowledge that there are racing games that exist beyond their own. Which could explain why the GT franchise has been so stagnant in the racing genre since GT3. So it seems competition is good for the consumer after all.

Looks like Gran Turismo are taking Forza seriously this time around. One thing we do know is that both games are looking pretty stunning after recent outings. Let us know your thoughts on this.
