btw, they said it'll come as a downloadable update for Gran Turismo 5 PROLOGUE, not Gran Turismo 5

that'd be sick, but they have to do it well or else after the first lap your at the maximum damage point where nothing can hurt, and they'll have to make the steering a little biit easierGally66

No they don't have to make the steering a little easier, you need to drive better. And if you drive well, you shouldn't have a scratch on your car.

i hope damage is so realistic that a 60mph crash into a wall will take your car out, this obsesion with car damage is really just sad.

wanna crash your car play burnout wanna drive play GT5.

Well, that's the pitfalls of realism... damage modeling would result in a more realistic experience, but to maintain that realism, it would have to affect your ability to race. Though I imagine it would be more like Forza 2 where you'd get a number of times into other cars or into the sidewall before you couldn't race anymore... but the main difference in Forza is that they took it off the points you got at the end of the race to fix your car. But I think going 80mph and slamming into a wall and having the car just stop and not be damaged is really unrealistic and takes me out of the experience quite a bit.

the damage in forza was awful, id prefer time pentalys etc over some crapy unrealistic damage system.

Thank you! They need to add an optional "arcade steering" or something to make the game control better. I realize that they are going for a realistic direction in the game, but I can barely turn corners.

learn to break and turn properly, and turn all driver aids on if its that hard for you.

Yeah I agree. I like the realistic type of steering, it actually adds challenge to a racing game. This way you can't hold down the accelator the whole time, you actually use the break.

But that's good that there will be damage, even the best spin out once and a while - it would be satisfying to really crash up your car. And I hope this isn't the focus, but just a nice addition. Definitly better than bouncing off walls.

If you can barely turn corners then don't buy this game and stick to arcade racers like Burnout, NFS, and Midnight Club. Or learn how to actually drive properly through various techniques for takign corners (such as trail braking).

Then i hope you aren't old enought to drive a real car. This gives me reason to dust of the DFP!!!
