카즈야마우치가 엑박의 포르자가 어떤면에 있어서는 그란보다 낫다고 말했다고 합니다. 포르자에는 그란에는 없는 다양한 feature가 있다는 점에서. 특성이라는 부분에서 그란은 보다 다른 각도에서 접근을 하고 있으며, 레이싱 게임이라는 핵심과제에 보다 집중하고 있다. 차이점을 설명하긴 어렵지만, 예를 들자면 정말 다양한 기능을 가졌지만 보다 경제적인 시계가 있는 반면, 기능적으론 최소화 되어있지만 premium, higher end의 시계가 있는정도? 카시오와 로렉스?

아무래도 그란은 후자쪽이라고 얘기를 하는듯 하군요. 제가 포르자란 게임을 해보지를 못해서 뭐라 말하기는 힘들군요 :)

Gran Turismo Devs Says Forza Leads With Features

The creator of Gran Turismo, Kaz Yamauchi has come out and stated that the Xbox 360 Forza Motorsport 2 is way ahead of Gran Turismo in terms of feature sets it offers to its users.

Polyphony Digita’s Kaz Yamauchi stated that the two companies do things very different in regards to how they approach the development of the game.

He believes though that Gran Turismo is still the superior product as Forza has a lot of substance but not all of it is quality, where Gran Turismo is pure quality gold.

He stated that when asked about his opinion of Forza Motorsport 2 on the Xbox 360, "Straight off the bat, I think that in terms of feature sets, Forza is ahead of us. They have more options, you can do basically anything. We take a different approach obviously - we try to concentrate on what are the core values for a racing game, and we try to elevate those standards up as high as we possibly can. I am having difficulty trying to explain the differences, but one way you can look at it is, you can buy a watch that is super multifunctional, but economical, or a watch that is reduced in functions, but premium - higher end."

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is coming for the PS3 and could back up that quality statement in a big way.
