Err…. a game called GRID! It may be a mixture of arcade/sim racing as all the Race Driver games have been but its damage model is spot on and miles ahead of the shown damage in this GT5 vid.

Back on topic. PD, why bother adding damage like this. Cars dont bounce off guardrails like shown, instead they are built to absorb the energy of a crash. And in all honesty, quit calling yourself the true racing/driving simulator as the physics model in GT does not even come close to being as realistic as other racing sims. Not to mention I find it hard to believe they can accurately represent the true physics of 1000 cars.

On that note, WTF do I need 1000 cars for? I dont need 40 different Skylines that are almost identical mmkay, thats freaking retarded. The amount of cars in GT1 or GT3 was about all that was needed. Maybe if they weren’t worried about there being 1000 cars the game would have already been out. Instead, I’m left waiting for the game so PD can add 800 more cars I wont ever drive.

Not sure why its implemented then because I’ve never seen a race where a car slams into a guardrail like in that video, bounces off (racecars ares built to absorb the energy from a crash, not just bounce off) and drive away. As for the doors opening, I’ve got to ask what thats all about in most every racing game with damage considering you dont see that on a real race track considering the doors are normally welded shut on race cars for this very reason.

“From our standards what other games are doing is simplified damage”
For starters, Kaz once siad he doesnt know about other racers when someone asked him about Forza in an interview. So riddle me this Kaz, how can you make a statement about other games when you say you dont know about other racing games.

“To me it seems on par with the best damage I have seen in other racing games. Can anyone name a game with obvious better damage modeling???”

Err…..GRID!

Ta ta :)
