Bumper car phyics, and you couldnt guess which game has it (cough FM3)

Do you remember, a certain fanboys who claim that FM3 crash phyics are like the real thing? well, lets see what happens when a car collides at 230 MPH. http://www.gametrailers.com/user-movie/when-cars-collide-at-230mph/333944?playlist=featured

now i dont know about you, but i dont think a car should just be able to take off , after crashing at 230 MPH.. GUess FM3 is the definitive bumper car game, i mean racing game.

When will this ever happen in a race? Seriously TC, delete thread and move along.

Obviously set the damage to Cosmetic. There are 3 damage levels in the game.

Cosmetic
Limited
Simulation

And I can tell you from first hand experience, that a crash that severe when playing on Simulation settings, would completely immobilize the car.

But thanks for your damage control. I can see the 9.5 score here (and from several other review sources) has really affected you. My advice.... get over it :)

How many times does this have to be explained: car manufacturers won't allow any sort of damage that clearly endangers the driver, and therefore it is impossible to do truly realistic damage with licensed cars.

As for Forza vs. GT, the argument has always been that Forza's damage system makes the game more realistic (and as a byproduct generally forces drivers to race properly), not that Forza's damage was 100% realistic.

This. They made it as realistic as possible without killing the driver.

Neither GT or FM have realistic exterior damage

Under no circumstances does the game ever require you to kill yourself. If you race properly and collisions look pretty decent.

You know that stuff like that isn't even supposed to happen, right? That's why car damage can only be taken to a certain level- you're supposed to race, not try to kill yourself. Race properly and collisions look pretty decent.

It's amazing that your comment, as true as it is, was either accidentally overlooked, or very intenionally ignored.

I guess I shouldn't be surpised given the forum we're on.

I would have thought that most of here understand that Forza has different levels of damage that you set before the race. SHEESHlhughey

I guess the damage-controlling fanboys just don't want to hear it.

Is simulation damage on? Because if it was, the car wouldn't be driving after that.

I though the different levels only affected internal damage... :?fail_baby

And still, against all odds, I persevere to enlighten the blind :)
