PS3: Gran Turismo 5 Crash Damage Problems

Either way, the full GT5 is going to be AMAZING.

GT5 will be amazing, but for the car manufactures, any car u smash into a wall going 200mph is gonna have damage. unless they want to release tanks in the game, then u wont be doing 200 mph. Id challenge any car company to test their car at that speed. Will it have damage? i think so!

If i was representing a car manufacture, id love to have our cars in GT5 . it should be a honor to be chosen. and damage is apart of any racing in real life.

That’s funny as Forza 2 has crash damage on it’s large list of cars which include Ferraris, you can even slap a custom paint job and accessories on them

GT5 wants to have realistic crash damage not canned animations in forza 2. Forzas damage is superrficial and the car has a limited way of getting damaged. GT5 wants to add real car damage physics to the cars

@lans

Whatever, but they can’t go on having cars crash at top speed and nothing happen to them, that’s just crap.

The reason Forza has crash damage is because it won’t sell anywhere near as much as GT5. Everyone knows GT5 will be a massive game and the car manufacturers don’t want damage for that reason.

My opinion is that damage is better kept out of the GT series. Let’s remember why we like the game – for it’s sim style arcade fun factor. No one likes to get smashed into a barrier with terminal damage on an online game. No fun in that…

You are joking, right?

Mark is right John. The last thing you want in an online race is to be pushed of the circuit and get totalled by some idiot no matter how cool or realistic it looks. It will just turn into destruction derby with people more interested in crashing than racing. Personally id love to see damage in the game but that from a simulation point of view, it would definetely be abused ingame.

@James

How can a game that’s supposed to simulate the thrill of motor racing, not simulate damage?
Oh and while i don’t think that damage being abused online is much of an argument as i generally choose who i play against, here’s an idea, turn damage off in the options when you’re setting up an online race.
I’ve been planning to buy a PS3 for some time and a good Gran Turismo game might be enough to get me to take the plunge but if they are going to stick with the ping pong physics that may have been excusable last generation then i’m better off sticking with Forza.
I hope they do include damage as motor racing is my favorite genre and you can never have too much of a good thing.

A racingsimulation without damage?
Absurd!
Simulation even claiming beeing realistic should have damage. It changes your hole drivingexperience.
I truely hope they add damage. This was the only thing that realy disapointed me when i got the game.

I agree totally there should be crash damage, have this an option that can be turned off. It gets boring when you’re racing around and cars are just simply pinging off each other. They want the ultimate realistic simulation then this isn’t it! They need to finish the game and add crash damage, if manufacturers don’t want their cars to be shown damaged then how are they going to sell the actual cars? THey can’t sell their cars cos some road user might crash it and show other people what it looks like damaged. Come on thats a lame excuse crap if you ask me.Make it realistic and add damage…

Forza 3 is shipping with crash physics (probably horse b*llocks crashing) but you want that true feeling of sitting in a car then smash an Aston martin into a wall, flipping door mirrors, bonnet, glass been flown into the barrier, the Aston smashing into a Ferrari scuddera squashing the roof. now come on seeing it in real life is good but experiencing it is another! I mean when was the last time you planted your Mitsubishi evo X into a wall and laughed like a school kid

so ferrari think their cars will never break, and if they do break in a game it will ruin their reputation?

ferrari are a bunch of noobs…theres plenty of sports car manufacturers, id rather have a bugatti veyron if it allowed damage.

ferrari are coming out of F1 so their F1 car wont be in the full version anyway…

if damage is implemented, i just hope they dont go over the top with it because thats NOT what GT is about.

Ok ladies, they’ve already announced that the full version of GT5 will have a damage model. Dynamic weather as well… Oh and the race tracks deviate from the real thing by no more than 5cm at any point.

Ferrari a bunch of noobs? I disagree. They’ve been around probably longer than you have.

Morne

Forza isn’t realistic, this is. That is why it could hurt the company becuase it could realistically show the damage.

Lastly it isn’t a damage simulator.

if gt5 wont have car crashes f*ck it, go buy froza 3 instead graphics are almost the same nd the crashes r amazing

this game is nothing like advertised in its ratings and nothing like the old ones i would not have bought it had they not said it was so good want my money back ripoff
