Damage modeling added to PS3′s Gran Turismo 5

Damage modeling added to PS3′s Gran Turismo 5

By: Alan Ng | August 20, 2009 | 5 Comments

Well it is a feature that most GT fans have been crying out for, but it was finally confirmed at GamesCom. Gran Turismo will feature damage modelling and we have a great video to show you which proves this.

As explained over at Cnet, not all the cars featured in Gran Turismo 5 will suffer from damage on the track. It has been reported that out of 1000 cars in GT, 170 of them will be dubbed ‘premium’ cars and will feature full interior modelling as well as vehicle damage. The remaining 830 will be classed as ‘standard’ models and will just feature external damage.

To see these new effects in action, just check out the video below. It shows the after effects of an Subaru Impreza STI rally car, after it has been driven into the side barriers by an incoming Mitsubishi EVO.

To those of you who are thinking Forza has moved ahead of GT, think again. We look forward to the Tokyo Game Show, where more details are bound to be released.

Let us know your reaction to the video.

    Agreed, while Forza offers its fanbase a great racing experience, I truly fail to see how it can be compared to the sheer scope and size of GT. The attention to detail is unparalleled, and while some may be bummed about not all cars being capable of taking damage…this is, after all, their first step towards that end. We’ll most likely see how it plays out over time. Either way, damage or no damage, this is a preorder for me.

    Actually, from the way I read the article, ALL cars are capable of taking damage. But only the “premium” ones will show damage to the INTERIOR of the car, while (and I quote) “The remaining 830 will be classed as ’standard’ models and will just feature external damage”.
