New Gran Turismo 5 Damage Model in Best Buy Demo
At first glance, it appeared the GT5 demo popping up in Best Buy stores around the United States – while certainly exciting – did not reveal any new features or content. Now that more users in our forums are getting their hands on it, however, it seems that is definitely not the case. Collisions reveal dramatic and impressive new car damage modeling – I’ll let these screenshots by GTPlanet user Asane and gamer28 speak for themselves.

It’s in GT5:Prologue. All you have to do is go to options. I’m sure it will be in GT5. I’ve said this already. I’d care more for Customization, or atleast custom paint colors so that we have some individuality in online races with the same make & models.

In my honest opinion, Polyphony still have LOTS of work to do with the damage, there is floating headlights in the air and clipping all over the place.

Look, for those who are complaining that’s damage is unrealistic, or wow, it looks crappy. Truth is, it’ll never be “real” damage, because the sort of stunts we pull in GT5 can’t be done “in real life.” After smashing into the wall at 100km/hr+…no car can just reverse, get back on track and drive around as if only the steering or gear box is screwed up. In “real life”, you can’t continually smash into the wall at 100km/hr+ at different angles to see how visually misshaped your car can become. And in “real life”, no one drives around with a bashed up Ferrari, they call a tow truck to untangle their mess, if they are still alive.
Funny how if PD made damage “realistic”, everyone would start crying about its difficulty and say how fragile the cars in GT5 and whine that the cars don’t survive 150km/hr crashes. Well, car manufacturers don’t want to hear that their cars aren’t safe now, do they? Personally, I think car manufacturers are allowing PD to put damage to this extent, because it shows that their cars can still run after smashing into a wall at high speeds and the driver can still survive.

So the GT5 demo is at the Bestbuy in the Mall of America. The damage modeling does live up to expectations but the sound when crashing into barriers is pretty weak. The lambo was fun to drive and the new physics engine is going to take some getting used to.

Not the greatest damage, but not the worst. I like it though, barring some nitpicking. Specially given constraint of tech and legality/licensing restrictions. Its all good. Anyword on tire blowouts or other wear and tear related damage?

I was positively shocked when I saw the pics. We can expect all this damage and more to be shown at TGS this month.
Please, everyone who is able to go to a Best Buy store make a video.

I think they are real, if you remember the first series of damage pictures on an enzo, you could see the whole front frame had just been “moved” from the front of the car… I think that’s how GT5′s damage will be like ;)

Why do you guys always care about the damage in GT5 anyway?
What I only care about is knowing all of the trakcs and cars.
Thats all.

OMG I love this. This is what I want when they’re talking about damage. I just can’t understand why there are still people complaining. If you want it more realistic just take your car and smash it into a wall.

None of the Best Buys in my area got the GT 5 Demo yet. Once the store down the road from me gets it I’ll be able to use my wheel on the demo. I’ll have video of the drive.

I’m going to Best Buy. If I see good damage, I’ll see what kind of pictures I can get. Luckily for me, Best Buy is 5 minutes down the road!

The damage is apparantly dynamic which should make replays look stunning with every crash unique. Can you imagine what it’s going to be like when they finish the code and add extra spot effects like shattered glass and small bits of metal flying across the track. I’m sure you’ll be able to use the photo mode to capture those insane crashes.

PLEASE!!! Make Attention! GTplanet READ THIS! And share this information with KAZUNORI! and every fan of Gt. Well brothers and sisters everybody knows that Kazunori is a master of creation simulation and we love his work.But there is one missing thing that gt5 do not have and makes me cry.Kazunori forget to put a one beautiful camera that Forza3 have. Everybody love the grafics in gt5 but WHERE! is this camera that you could enjoy the beautiful grafics from outside the car.I meen that you could pull the triger during a race and look around every side and see whole boody of a car.Inside in the cockpit view is perfect you can turn around camera on left end right .
