  • etruscan, on 04/03/2008, -6/+150And now Gran Turismo 5 Prologue has officially been pre-ordered.
  • mywhitenoise, on 04/03/2008, -0/+74The only thing that could make it even better (besides the final release of GT5) is custom soundtracks.
  • Bungo, on 04/03/2008, -3/+68Car damage AND rumble?!?!? The future has arrived!!!
  • CrimsonBlur, on 04/03/2008, -5/+60Finally! I know to a lot of people this doesn't sound like a big deal, but it's always been really awkward playing a racing sim so realistic, then you crash or scrape a wall and your car still looks pristine. It just really hurts the immersion factor.

    I just really hope they include a car editor that's as awesome as the one in Forza, but from what I've heard that's not likely.
  • lukeydukey, on 04/03/2008, -1/+41If it includes damage to interior parts, etc. Now we got a real sim.
  • praisethelard, on 06/06/2008, -0/+29Also, if I hit a wall head-on at 180mph without a seatbelt on I want the driver in car to die!
  • logicalnoise, on 04/03/2008, -7/+36well it took a while for them to realize "car hit wall, car have dent"
  • LightSpeed4, on 04/04/2008, -2/+27car damage THAT AFFECTS HOW THE CAR DRIVES is what matters ...
  • piper999, on 04/03/2008, -1/+25Are you being forced at gunpoint to buy it? No? Well then don't - problem solved.
  • jtbndy, on 04/03/2008, -3/+26Minus diggs for you being a dumbass.
  • Spuy767, on 04/03/2008, -2/+22You probably need a scotch. There are more important things to get angry about.
  • monospaced, on 04/04/2008, -0/+19Cosmetic damage is one thing, but will the damage affect the driving? Will sliding into a wall dent a fender and rub against a tire, or will losing a body panel or spoiler change the aerodynamics. Sure, having the car appear damaged is one thing, but worthless unless it actually affects gameplay, in my opinion.
  • staticneuron, on 04/04/2008, -0/+18and save deleted..... then cutscene to funeral after that you would have to start all over again with another bodyba.... um.. driver.
  • MikeinLoFi, on 04/03/2008, -4/+22This kind of hoot?

  • damnyooneek, on 04/04/2008, -1/+17the only music i want to hear driving is the sound of the engine
  • ReeferChiefer42, on 04/03/2008, -1/+17All I have to say is that it's about time. How can you call your series or racing games "The Ultimate Driving Simulator" and not include damage? The damage better not just be cosmetic either. If I downshift from 6th into 1st I want a blown engine!
  • watership, on 04/03/2008, -1/+15You mean like Forza has been doing since 2005?
  • Scaster513, on 04/03/2008, -0/+13The same way Forza and most other racing games do.
  • inactive, on 04/04/2008, -0/+13Then again, it's always nice to have an excuse to have a scotch.
  • wrenchone, on 04/03/2008, -1/+14I have faith, but after taking this long to finally do it, the damage better be more than just cosmetic. Tear off your front bumper in Forza, and you car will be slower from drag. I expect the same here.
  • drywaller79, on 04/03/2008, -2/+13Hopefully custom soundtracks for all games with the in game XMB(when ever that gets here).
  • SanTe, on 04/04/2008, -0/+11And a big "GAME OVER" on the screen to taunt your ass and remind you that you suck, just like the good old days. :)
  • skoles, on 04/04/2008, -1/+12Hopefully they can squeeze in accurate car sounds and tire screeches as well. Nothing like a fully race-prepped Ford GT sounding like a Geo Metro @ 9,000rpms to rip you out of the realism in the game.

    Hopefully with the space on a BR disc they can now fit authentic vehicle sounds instead of just synthesizing the pitch of the car at idle.
  • mywhitenoise, on 04/03/2008, -2/+12It's called a patch. Welcome to the future.
  • LongShlong, on 04/03/2008, -5/+15Car damage is what makes or breaks a lot of racing/driving sims (especially them) games for me... Nothing makes me cringe in dissatisfaction like seeing a car hit a side of a building or wall only to see it 'bounce' or recoil off of it. It's actually making me mad just thinking about it.
  • fatTJ, on 04/04/2008, -0/+10Mute the game music and put iTunes on shuffle?
  • Flynnz, on 04/04/2008, -3/+13you dont watch real racing do you?
  • 0Zeitgeist0, on 04/03/2008, -1/+11GT5 P & GTA 4 my weekends are all gone...
  • DarkPrince11, on 04/04/2008, -1/+10No Yamauchi has just refused to implement damage in the games until they could execute it perfectly.
  • MWeather, on 04/04/2008, -0/+9So you'd prefer pushing back the release date?
  • choopie911, on 04/04/2008, -1/+9As ridiculous of a game that Burnout is, it DOES have pretty impressive damage.
  • SkippyDoorknob, on 04/03/2008, -1/+9You could?
  • Spuy767, on 04/03/2008, -4/+12Except for that whole thing I like to call physics.
  • mercury187, on 04/03/2008, -3/+10its actually not that bad if you consider the alternative, wait until 2009 to play the full game. $40 is not that bad.
  • Kbriggs, on 04/03/2008, -1/+7WooHoo
  • smallwang, on 04/03/2008, -3/+9after 5 iterations of the game now, car damage is waaaay over due. I hope it is not just cosmetic, and handling/performance hopefully will adjust due to damage. Now how about a decent computer AI that doesnt ride on rails and run right into you all the time..
  • waz67, on 04/03/2008, -1/+7Chalk one up for more realism I guess. The biggest thing I didn't like from the preview videos I've seen is the lack of "bounce" when the cars come down from being airborn over humps. It looks very unrealistic, as though they have barely any shocks at all.
  • supersteve, on 04/04/2008, -1/+7will it be realistic or just lame dents?
  • LongShlong, on 04/04/2008, -1/+7All I drink is rageahol.
  • monospaced, on 04/04/2008, -0/+6Cosmetic damage is one thing, but will the damage affect the driving? Will sliding into a wall dent a fender and rub against a tire, or will losing a body panel or spoiler change the aerodynamics. Sure, having the car appear damaged is one thing, but worthless unless it actually affects gameplay, in my opinion.
  • mrjole, on 04/03/2008, -3/+9very promising
  • NickFury, on 04/04/2008, -1/+6(in reply to lightspeed4) I agree - DIRT was great on that front. Amazing how well that was modeled.
  • stklaw, on 04/03/2008, -1/+6Only half the car length shall remain on my first crash.
  • powatom, on 04/03/2008, -0/+5The game will be out before autumn, but the car damage may not be implemented until then, and if it is implemented, it will probably be as a patch which players have to download.
  • dsmx, on 04/04/2008, -1/+5The damage isn't good though in forza, go play toca race games and then say forza has good damage.
  • Omar12, on 04/04/2008, -0/+4I'm crossing my fingers for that. It already has a good soundtrack, but I would like to listen to some 2 hour bootleg music tracks on those endurance races.
  • Birdoftruth, on 04/04/2008, -1/+5why not use reply button?
  • inactive, on 04/04/2008, -0/+4Then again, nothing makes me happier than when I run into something and my scotch doesn't sustain any damage.
  • HeavySausage, on 04/04/2008, -0/+4Some people just don't like to hear the truth. The main reason why we have Fox News in America.
  • Zanneth, on 04/03/2008, -2/+6Sort of sad that it took until around now for racing games with real cars to finally start having damage. It's such a basic fundamental in designing a graphics engine with cars in it, and stupid car companies supposedly wanted video gamers to think that their car is indestructible after colliding with a steel wall at 80mph.
