The Constant Risk of Crashing Adds To The Tension:
Three Levels of Vehicle Damage

Gran Turismo takes another step closer to reality.

Gran Turismo 5 will feature realistic vehicle damage that lives up to its driving simulator name.

Not only do the looks of the car change when damaged, an advanced physics simulation helps faithfully recreate how damage is taken and its resulting effect. By doing so, Gran Turismo 5 successfully recreates real-life added tension and challenge that comes from driving on the edge. (*).

Damage in Gran Turismo 5 shows up in three different levels, with specific differences in damage between Premium cars and Standard cars.

Performance Damage
Performance damage affects how the car performs based on calculating the physical effects of collisions and damage on various parameters. It affects vehicle stability and control, depending on the amount of damage taken. This level of damage affects both premium and standard cars.

Dirt, Scratches, and Dents
This is damage that can be visually seen, and involves the vehicle collecting dirt, scratches and dents. This level of damage affects both premium and standard cars.

Dislodging and Deformation of Body Panels
This third level of damage causes body panels to come loose or to deform from their original shapes. This level of damage affects premium cars only.

Roddy, cars not only have damage but can also roll. The rally cars can lose doors, too. Yes, WRC is in it....

PS: BUY a new PS3. Then when you do, buy ANOTHER PS3 in case that one wrecks.

[bLaQDoG..]

This game alone has me wanting to buy a PS3.

Cant believe the graphics. The last time I played Gran Turismo was in about 2001, and it was the first version to ever come out on PS1.

Times have changed.

The Ferrari F1 is in GT5: Prologue. Costs 1 million dollars to buy.

Rami, the ONLY reason I have and bought a PS3 was for this game alone. Polyphony Digital (The makers of GT5) are THE best at making games.

maybe it will come to a stage where it is actually exactly real

then they will move onto different things like you actually catch on fire if the car in the game catches on fire
