Video of NASCAR Car Damage in Gran Turismo 5
Long-time GTPlanet reader Rob Groove got his chance to play Gran Turismo 5 at the recent PlayStation BETA event, and he made a note to get something on video that we haven’t seen much of: damage on NASCAR cars. Watch his clip above, and be sure to read his full analysis of the demo for his full impressions. Thanks to Rob and all who sent this in!

Geo i know what you mean. Its to do with a stong look at constraint which keeps the camera always directly behind the car. Other games often use a slightly different system. One of the old Colin McRae Rally games on PS1 (CMR2 i think) actually had a camera editor so you can create the perfect chase cam yourself. The fact is its really easy for game developers to do, but they often just stick with 5 or so and thats all thats expected. Personally i would love it if games brought back the whole camera editor approach, theres no reason why they cant. Having said that i often use in car, bonnet or bumper cam

If I’m not mistaken, the chase-cam was like how I explained in GT3? I’m not sure about GT4 either… I’m sad to say I’ve never played them :(

I want them to fix the chase-cam (outside view) view… the cars feel too rigid to make any precise movements. I like how in games like Forza 3 and GTR: Evo how the camera lags behind a bit when you’re turning, so you can see the car turning even when the camera is behind the car… if anyone knows what I’m talking about. It’s pretty hard to explain :P

Till tday or November 2nd the best ps3 and all platforms racing game was Racing Driver Grid that was a cool game and a realistic game.But when GT5 goes out that will be the best !

Sorry fanboys but this isn’t as good as Forza 3′s damage and i could list a dozen sims which is at least this standard. That doesn’t bother me one little bit however. GT has never been about damage, its always been about a realistic driving experience, tons of cars and tracks, as well as awesome graphics etc. The fact that this game has damage is a ‘bonus’ really for me, so im perfectly happy with this standard.

GT5 will have dynamic damage system, then Forza and etc has a scripted one. So there is no question where it is better.
-
August 15th, 2010 at 10:35 am - #danielwhite74
Forza’s damage system is nothing but scripted scratches; how could it possibly be better than this? :(
-
August 15th, 2010 at 10:36 am - #danielwhite74
Not that I particularly care either; as you said, “GT’s never been about damage.”

I agree with Dir.
Damage looks great. Considering that they’re not even showing mechanical damage, my expectations are already reached. I’m satisfied with that.
-

The damage look incredible, since we never have damage on any gran turismo game. Im happy with this, and im thinking if this is not the final product, the damage maybe gona be better.
Sorry my english…

Something about the physics doesn’t seem right!
-
August 11th, 2010 at 2:41 am - #Chad D.
2 things:
1) its a demo
2) its either arcade mode, or its standard physics, which are totally diffeent from professional physics (at least in prologue they are)

How about I go over there and punch you in your stupid face, and you tell me if that seems right

@Mark
Fanboy? Making up excuses? Defending? What the hell are you talking about? All I said was that the cars won’t get completely destroyed or “won’t drive anymore” because the manufacture don’t let them. This was said by a sony/pd employee in an interview. The sun rises and it sets. Are you going to call me a “sun fanboy” now?-
August 10th, 2010 at 12:34 am - #Alex
@ zevehcj your right.
for a starter this is not the full damage model because kaz already confirmed panels bolts etc falling off as debris on the road and i assume the full damage model will also break headlights windows etc.
however. these are real cars and real people buy them and no manufacturer is stupid enough to A) let there expensive new car BREAK DOWN in real life or a game regardless.. its bad PR.
secondly. no manufacturer wants to let people see what its like for you to crash there car . there realism / simulator with replicating a car which PD have done beautifully… and then there’s stupidity. they don’t want the cabin to be damaged. they dont want PD to model airbags hitting you in the face.. this is a REAL car and a REAL manufacturer and REAL people buy them.. not some toy from dirt 2. mechanic damage is all u need. in realty u don’t even need panel to be dented.if u want crash damage that realistic go crash your mothers car.. it adds nothing to racing.
dirt 2 . need for speed are all modified manufacturer cars and thus don’t need to stay in the strict guidelines ide assume PD does. aka Subaru rally edition. roll cages. custom body panels etc etc

@Alex
Exactly. Also, you forgot to mention GTA and the Burnout series. People like to say “GTA IV and Burnout has better damage”. But they don’t realise the vehicles in those games are fictional. The developers of those games can do whatever the hell they want to the cars because they’re fake. -
August 10th, 2010 at 2:12 am - #Bah…
They also blamed the manufacturers over damage in genneral before. We where told we would never see it because manufacturers would never allow it, yet here it is.
When enough of the other games include a “stall” or “breakdown” feature, or when PD/sony gets the idea that not including it would harm the bottom line, you’ll see the same reversal of “manufacturer rules” your seeing with damage now.
It’s just a BS excuse they use because it’s logical/hard to disprove, and let’s them pick or choose what they add or leave out without getting blamed too much for the choices they make.

Alright the damage looks okay, but WHERES THE WEATHER!!!!!

The cars of Gran Turismo HD were standard???

Only 8 days to gamescom. then we know more. I hope the new features shown there will blow us away.
-
August 9th, 2010 at 2:22 pm - #UkHardcore
There doesnt seem to be any physics at all when the car hits the barrier?
I take it GT4 mode is on rather than the premium GT5?

I think after 13 years, we should get The Real Driving Simulation.
-
August 10th, 2010 at 1:59 am - #Rofl
never going to happen. You do that, and 75% of the fanbase would either suddenly realize they arn’t on par with real world professional quality drivers, or go for the delusion route and decide that GT just became the worst simulation ever. Both ways, there goes the market…..

I’m at least hoping for damage on the scale of something like DIRT:2, Motorstorm, GRID, NFS:Shift etc.
I appreciate these games have resets/rewinds, but the damage modelling is something Polyphony should be looking to equal, if not better.
I’m beginning to think that after all these years of waiting for GT5, its going to deliver in some areas, but fall short in others.
-
August 9th, 2010 at 1:53 pm - #Dumb
Im beginning to think that after all these years of waiting for GT5, we will get served an incredible ammount of stuff for a mere $60 compared to other games, and this game WILL be amazing yet some will bitch no matter what and feel as if they deserve more and more and more.
-
August 9th, 2010 at 4:31 pm - #Nigricans
@Dumb – if a game is 99% incredible but the that last 1% is woeful, then that 1% still deserves harsh criticism. It’s not about entitlement, it’s about standards.
@Hardcore – I’m hoping the same thing. Unfortunately we haven’t seen anything other than this yet, so I’m starting to wonder…

Wow im surprised you havn’t been flamed to a crisp yet ferhound. VERY debatable comment.

thats becuase either:
A) nonone whats do deal with such an immature and idiotic comment
or B) everyone stopped viewing this articleoretty sure its both, lol

August 15th, 2010 at 10:40 am - #danielwhite74
Why don’t you go and spend five years making a driving game that’s up to Polyphony’s standards..? XD

I personally am looking forward to the Nascar’s. Full Nascar rules have been confirmed havn’t they?
Full racing lags and all that guff? Should make it interesting!
Just hope the racing flags have been carried over into the rest of the game.

Why would you do that?

August 9th, 2010 at 4:56 am - #Magicayrton
Wikipedia… Weather effects are also confirmed to be included, although the extent of the implementation is currently unknown.
-
August 9th, 2010 at 6:06 am - #TokyoDrift
Right, so everything in Wikipedia is fact is it? Weather has not been confirmed at all.
-
August 10th, 2010 at 1:53 am - #Rofl
Wikipedia says my villiage was founded by, and is part of the next town over. Never mind that we where here 30 years before, and still have an independant government from them. But if wiki says it, it must be true. Guess I better change my voter card…lol

August 9th, 2010 at 4:50 am - #Mr Latte
Well we are likely to see a new trailer for GDC and with every show get some more information on the game.
I wouldnt say weather is confirmed at all because of one so caled representative at “Comic Con” just seemed to be talking a lot of crap.

Looks like my video caused quite a stir, cant waitto see what comes out of gamescom.
