Where is damage update? (been away)

[MowTin]

I've been away from GT5 for a while. Other games and work stress.

I thought there was supposed to be a damage update in the fall. Where is it?

 

[Jay]

It is still fall, we are still waiting. (no word on it yet)

 

[kart racer]

I think there might be some "hold outs"from the car makers.This might have been the reason for the delay.But,if I know PD, it will be worked out soon.

 

[Marky264]

Yeah Unfortunately Ferrari for Example were giving PD a hard time on the subject because they didnt want their cars damaged in Prologue which is stupid because System 3 did a bad job with damage modelling in Ferrari Challenge. That was amusing where only 6 Panels of the car would come off. Part of the Hood. 2 Parts of front and Back Bumpers. Mirrors and a small crack in the windscreen. Pfft.

Anyways we are all still awaiting the fall will be an announcement 3 days prior to the Update Arriving.

 

[Oberst Struppi]

Kazunori confirmed, that the vehicular damage is coming for gt5, not for prologue!

furthermore - ferrari makes stress about the damage!

 

[Marky264]

No he didn't say those exact words. Source?

All that was said was that GT5 Would be closer than everyone thought. Quite right too. He did not mention that Damage would not come to Prologue at all.

 

[Oberst Struppi]

ahm, super_fla´s interview with kaz read itself, as would the vehicular damage come to GT5.

maybe, i´ve understand things wrong.

 

[sesselpupser]

The way I see it, it was quite a recent interview (i.e. the one on the front page) and he said Ferrari still weren't happy with having damage in the game, and I doubt anything's really changed since then. It would be interesting to know if PD have started working on damage physics and models, but I really doubt they'd ever mention it until it's released. As Kaz himself said, they want everything to be a surprise, he even said they wouldn't announce GT5 until a few days before it's release (which sounds like marketing suicide).

 

[Dave A]

He never said they wouldn't announce GT5 untill a few days beofre it's release, he said he wouldn't announce GT5 content until it's a few days before it's release. He indicated that GT5 could be closer than we thought that's all. I think he wants to avoid a repeat of what happened with GT4 where all this information came out, we got a release date, everyone got excited and then we ended up waiting a year longer than we expected. He's going to keep hs cards closer to his chest a bit longer this time around that's all.

 

[Racer28]

If we dont get the damage patch this fall they have straight out been lying! But we all know its not going to come atleast before GT5..my guess is even GT5 wont have it. And with the same old broken excuse that manufacterers dont allow it, its just all lies and we all know it. I`m betting they`re not even going to mention its not coming for prolgoue....maybe in some obscure interview with some car magazine sometime over christmas.

Now I dont have a problem with the lack of damage, not at all. What I do have a problem with is the way PD lies to get customers. This seems to be in true Sony style

 

[dzidza]

why would they be lying, i would prefere to have damage in gt5, and private rooms in gt5p. I don't what to buy gt5, and only to have more cars and tracks, i what it to have surprise content.

"If we dont have the feature, say its coming even though its not. People forget and forgive"

I agree with you on private rooms!

K.Y: "smiled" we will anounce it in our website before there is any update. but we will anounce the information only before an update is goin to be released in a couple of days like what we did in spec 3. even GT5 will release at the same way "laughing" we will do every thing as a surprise.

Ok so he may not have meant it, but he still said it...


I for one would be surprised if we got damage in Prologue, as it would be one less reason to buy GT5. Ok so lets be honest, no one here ISN'T going to buy GT5 even if it gets 1 out of 10 which will never happen so really it wouldn't matter, but there's also the fact that Ferrari have objections, it would be a hefty download for sure (unless they secretly included it on the disc/download but thats highly doubtful)... I wouldn't put something like that past Kaz, though. He's a devious one.

Do you honestly think you're gonna get much more than that? That's pretty much the very definition of the GT series right there.

I would buy GT5 even if it got a 1/10.... That's reviewers and critics that I dont care about. I stopped listening to people babble on about games without trying them myself. Alot of games have had bad reviews and they have been included in my top 10 games of all time. Also the Disc of Spec III which was released on Japan 2 weeks ago hasnt got anything extra that we havent got already in Updates.

 

[The-BNA]

Everyone who still believes this is what Kaz called fall, and that the update is still coming is a fool. There's gonna be another update later, possibly including damage, but we got our "big" fall update, and we're going to wait as long for the next update as we did for the fall update.

 

[Daniel_Elessar]

i would buy gt5 also, all the tracks, cars.
even if it does not has "real" damage but only fuel and tyre wear. i can't wait to drive many cars on my favorite tracks(apricot,trail mountain, grand valley etc)
I assume we can take the word of Kaz about the damage, they don't need to put that into prologue for testing like said before. the only thing is tweaking the online features and such. i think that's the most important for prolgue and the final GT5.

though i would love to get 2 tracks!

 

[patriotzero]

"FALL" till December

 

[GTP_rpm]

I'd be content with the cars, physics, everything...

Just want more tracks!

Daytona is boring, London is stupid, Eiger is a rally course, which leaves us with Fuji and Suzuka as being the only real ''drivers circuits'' in the game.

There are so many awesome circuits around the world and even GT's own tracks, eg Trial mountain, grand valley are so so amazing that surely instead of worrying about damage, they'd be better off just putting MORE CIRCUITS in there?

No?

 

[Ardius]

I think when Kaz referred to Ferrari, he was using them as an example, rather than that they were specifically a manufacturer who said no (seeing as Ferrari Challenge and Forza both have damaged Fezzas).

 

[skingg]

I think its been quite awhile since I last logged onto GT5rologue (last time was around the launch of the new Spec 3 opening). With tons of games on this holiday, only a major update will bring me back to GT. That or they make the online races more varied (stop with all the 750pp - 800pp already).

 

[Marky264]

Everyone who still believes this is what Kaz called fall, and that the update is still coming is a fool. There's gonna be another update later, possibly including damage, but we got our "big" fall update, and we're going to wait as long for the next update as we did for the fall update.

Oh really? Do you know that the Fall lasts until Mid December? I guess not. No we didnt get our *Big Fall Update* It's the start to Spec III. Your opinions are just that opinions. We'll have to wait and see next possible Date could be November 17th as thats when Home Is released so we may get an Update then but people remember the FALL Lasts until DECEMBER! People shoulld stop acting so negative about this.

 

[GTP_rpm]

It's all a bit silly isn't it.

All these debates about this poxy demo?

Anyone would think this was a full game by now...

 

[Ardius]

I think people should forget about an update again this year, with the number of players playing GT5 dropping, it isn't worth PD releasing several small updates anymore, they'll likely wait a bit now and gather some content to be released as "Spec 4" for some time early next year I reckon.

People shouldn't be annoyed about this either, because PD never make deadline promises (if at all give us any deadlines) they only give us general mentions of "around about" dates.

In my opinion, Prologue has achieved its objective and given us all a great taster of what is to come and also to gather valuable data and information for PD to better tailor our favourite racing game.

At least if you think this way, you can't be disappointed when they don't release anything for a while

See this separate thread where damage modeling is described in another racing game. After seeing the quality of that damage modeling and then reading the description of how it's done, I think it is more complex than any of us can imagine. And they have to do this for EACH car!!!

I'm not surprised it's taking this long, but knowing PD, I'm sure it will look amazing!
