Ok after digging around and doing some careful reading, it seems as though a lot of people are a little upset about the crappy looking damage. I kind of am also. I hate it when things like this don’t live up to your expectations. I’ve seriously considered abandoning the gt5 franchise mainly because the exclusion of damage. Real time deformation to be exact. When I see certain simulations such as Live for Speed and Rfactor for the pc I see just how much a game like gran turismo is lacking. I have played lfs for a long time now and feel like the tire deformation and damage are very advanced and cannot be matched as of yet by any console racer.
But, I will say this. PD says in one of gtppanets previous articles that “standard cars” will all have scratches, dents and dirt, as well as parts thy due fall off. However only premium cars will have deformable parts that fall off. So basically it seems as though although we are seeing premium cars in the video getting hit, I believe that their respective damage levels were all set to basic or “standard” damage. Maybe to have a surprise in the upcoming months when we see full damage. Such as popped tires, crushed or torn apart fenders and completely destroyed vehicles. For this I will buy another ps3 and a new gt27 logitech racing wheel.
just had a thought, Im hoping someone can remember who said this and where. but who remembers a brief comment talking about the difference between standard and premium cars? That person roughly said premium will be beautiful modelled to the finest detail for each car… over say the standards, so say a ferrari enzo will look bang on but a mustang will just be a mustang… now what I think that means is say to save time and space say you get a mustang gt and a roush mustang and a gt500 although there maybe differences in the real cars theyll all have the standard mustang cockpit to save unneeded modelling? same for all the civics, skylines and evos… it would save tonnes of time if they did something like that. maybe, just maybe thats a standard cockpit for you…
C’mon guys, really, how can you tell if prologue’s cars are premiums or not?
see this is something people have been throwing about how can something like say the suzuki cuppacino be premium because we’ve all seen the cockpit view, but something like a countach be standard and no cockpit?
Nice video. I like the fact that it’s possible to roll a car over. But seriously, cars rolling over is a bit of a rarity in real life racing. Hope they don’t implement it on every tiny crash or bump….
Ps. Love all the detail PD, but please, no screen tearing please… High speed ring turn 3 with traffic, was hard on my PS3. Fps dropped dramaticly. To me fps is more important than detail….
Hey, Jordan, I’d be much obliged if you removed comments with language (such as f***, s*** or a**), because I’ve seen a few posts that are offensive as such. I’m not at all blaming you (heck, I don’t have proof that you *don’t* remove those posts), just a request! ;)

I would like to have a say on all those people saying they wont be buying the game because theres been no comfirmation of cockpits on standard cars, or you cant drive around a city in Test drive unlimited style free roam, or the cars dont atomise on impact like in burnout… I’m kinda glad youre not buying the game, as I’m sure many other loyal GT fans are. While I fully understand you want the moon on a stick, GT fans want Gran Turismo. I for one would happily buy, play and no doubt enjoy the game even if it had half the cars, no cockpit views AT ALL, No damage (like old GT games) and no online play… I would enjoy and play the game for the pure simple pleasure of racing… like I did with PS1 and PS2… so please dont tell us youre not buying it… just go and buy one of the many other fine arcade racers out there. Thank you for your time! :)
i think cockpit view won’t be available on standard cars cuz all the cars have tinted windows in the standard cars vid ,despite that i’m still gona buy it but i’m kinda disappointed ,there is also a posibility that it will have the same engine sound ,hope they improve it
Oh, does 0:08 prove there will be night racing in all maps!?
Damage looks good

oh wow, that looks terrifeing imagine if they make you pay to fix the damage with Credits in game! That would be REAL realistic (Maby you could buy car insurance in the beggining when you first get gt5?) :P
Loving that… Good find on the photo. As for insurance if I have to deal with a talking mearkat or a fat annoying opera singer that will annoy me more than any missing dashboards haha!
(for our none UK readers, please see youtube and type in compare the Market TV ads… and Go Compare for that fat annoying git that is the opera singer haha)
Nice pic. Where did you found it?
Reminds a little bit of GT1 opening move! Or maybe i’m being too nostalgic about this.
I meant opening “Movie”
Can anyone confirm whether head tracking will work in 2D mode? I REALLY am looking forward to this feature, but won’t bite on the 3D craze
maybe but you do need to fork over $1500 at least for a compatible t.v
So, I need a 3DTV to use head tracking in 2D mode? Does that make any sense? Was that really what you meant to say?
All you should need for head tracking is a PS3 eye
+led lights on your head, not necessarily mounted on LCD shutter glasses
actually you do need a 3dtv just checked
but think about it how can it work you have to turn your head whilst still keeping your eyes on the screen
It’s already been said that it will work in 2D. It would be a really stupid move for Sony to ONLY appeal to 3DTV owners (barely anyone can afford them :P).
Here’s an idea.
800 cars with customisation….. of interior detail!
Allow gamers to recreate their favourite car interiors and share them with other gamers. That way, everyone’s happy.
Any news regarding the engine sounds? I’ll be EXTREMELY ticked off if they sound like broken hairdryers like from Prologue…
im sure they are included, but i havent seen any aston martins in the recent videos or screenshots. i hope they have the DBS and One-77 coz they r peng
What about the new mclaren and the lexus lfa. This year has been full of supercars. ALso the new 599 gto
true, but at least their manufacturers have been seen, no aston martins wat so ever. Hopefully noble might be included
They showed an Aston Martin DB9 in the Christmas day Hong Kong GT5 trailer already. So don’t worry.
Looking good, apart from the last rollover…

Well, to be honest.. My feelings about all this mess are kinda devided. Now, I can’t believe that a game such as GT5 won’t release cockpit view in all of the included cars, that would be a disaster, but on the other hand, is it really so difficult for KY to answer a simple question? I mean, this is madness, we don’t want to believe in the sad news about the cockpits but it is very likely that only 200 rides will include them. Can’t they just say yes or no?
what a week!!! Don’t know if you’ve seen these:

‘its the 4th time I’m writing this: BMW 135 FROM PROLOGUE IS PREMIUM!!!!!!
and its not a great car :),thats why I really wonna know premium car list ;)’
The premium cars will be every car that’s been modelled since GT5 development started plus a selection of key cars from old GT games.
The crash with the 370z didn’t look relalistic and why don’t the cars get damaged in a violent crash video
