Though I don't doubt this game is a good racing game I have no intention of ever buying as I have no recpect for Turn 10. Their behavior as of late has been extremely childish, tasteless and disrespectful. For some odd reason they felt the need to take constant jabs at GT and PD for taking their time with making their racing game. Instead of trying to make GT fans buy their game they are doing the exact opposite. I though the whole point of marketing your game is to get as many people as you can to buy, but I guess Turn 10 did not get that memo. PD has just shown class by not responding to Turn 10's constant jabs and disrespectful comment and they Turn 10 have a lot to learn in term on how a developer should behave.

The main menu is very...calming...it must be a mix of the music and the way it's designed. 
 
Although I'll never buy this game because I'm not into sim racers at all, it looks like they did a lot of things right for those that enjoy this genre, especially creating your own decals/designs.

I just can't wrap my head around how someone could create a picture of Chuck D by modifying a bunch of preset shapes.  That's insane.

I think it's a fair criticism, considering that the entire Forza series has been released in the time span that Polyphony Digital has been working on GT5. Seriously, GT5 is pretty much vaporware at this point. Also, if you're going to let an off-hand comment by a PR guy stop you from playing a game, you're only hurting yourself.

Man. Forza 2 really made me realize that I COULD like an authentic racing game, and that the problem with Gran Turismo was just what what Ryan and Jeff talked about; those other racing games were for car fanatics. They were uninviting for people looking for racing games.
I want to play Forza 3!

@Mordukai: If your refering to the interview in IGN's TRL Podcast I think your seriously reading too much into it. The fact probebly is that like they say they aren't competing agains PD but try to get the same end result though whit totally different focuses. All they really said whats that they dont know what had happened whit the developments of GT5 but they can totally understad that something could have happend especially since they are making a graphics heavy game and making a PSP game at the same time.
Turn 10 and PD aren't taking this "war" seriously at all like some other ppl are and just want to make a great racing game and both are doing that.

Jepp; and it's somehow totally different from how I experienced it in the demo. The camera seems as if it zoomes in a lot. Weird. Jeff probably has some strange camera settings there.

What he's saying is massively exagerated.  At E3 they did make a few off hand jokes about Gran Turismo, but it was done in a pretty civil and joking around kind of way.  Besides, they're in direct competition and GT still proclaims itself "the real driving simulator, despite the fact Forza does most gameplay mechanics much better.  I don't think you can blame them for wanting to hype their game up a bit, and I see no reason why any fans of driving games should get upset about that.
 
Anyway, I'm very impressed with what we saw here.  I loved the demo but seeing more of the menu's and the storefront is just jaw dropping.  It's a shame they didn't let you try out more of this stuff in the demo, I've been planning on creating a few designs, but seeing what other people have been able to make using a few basic shapes is just ridiculous, I'm never going to be able to match that.  The whole store front/auction house/community aspect is really unique and a great addition.

I see. Thanks for clearing that up. Honestly, it seemed like feigned fanboy outrage to me, so I was hoping to get him to post the source. That way we could all see that he's trying to drum out outrage from nothing, rather than me having to point it out.

Are you really sure there's no way to import a picture? That Chuck D face must have taken many hours.
