Re: Gran Turismo 5 Video: Visual Effects

here is link to GT site regarding damage

Great article. Unfortunately those *'s make me a little uneasy. Not interior view for 800 of the 1,000 cars? What does damage isn't necessarily applied to all races mean?

It does seem like there are still some unanswered questions about this game. I watched the Inside Sim Racing (or whatever it's called) show on the game and the dev they interviewed was pretty tight lipped on these things...which usually isn't good news in the end.

As for the interior views...I think you can still race with a cockpit view, just that only some cars will have highly detailed cockpits while the rest will be generic.

Not sure about damage, but it does seem to be minimal compared to what we've come to expect in other games. I think they walk a fine line between licensing and companies not wanting their cars to shatter into a 1000 pieces and realistic damage models.

I have to say the thing that worries me most about GT5 is that it might be spreading itself too thin. It looks like it's trying to capture a little of all the racing genres (ie: Nascar, F1, Rally, Road, Street) instead of just focusing on something and doing it really well. For instance, it looks like there will be only one oval track in the game (indy), so why bother with Nascar? That's a lot of time, money and licensing spent on something that would be better left to someone else to do fully.

Wish we could see more Nascar videos and information

I'm going to guess that damage is in races like Nascar and Rally. But its probably not as pronounced or even there in some of the other race types.

Re: Gran Turismo 5 Video: Visual Effects

I'm not exactly sure, but I think that for some car types, they were only allowed to do cosmetic and mechanical damages (things not too drastic) but for other types, they were allowed to to do whatever they want and completely wreck the thing, including also flipping the car over.

I think they had two damage models and those were the two, but I can't remember the details. It was brought up months ago.

I thought I read that rollover physics are applied to all models.

This looks worth the wait.

Really? That's be sweet if it is, but I'm sure there's still two different damage models depending on the car.

I think this also....the video I saw they were tight lipped about damage, so it does seem that there will be restrictions on damage based upon the car maker.

Re: Gran Turismo 5 Video: Visual Effects

So pumped for this damn game!

Agreed, this game and The Show are defining franchises to me for the PlayStation brand. They are the very games that get me to buy every iteration and come back for more.

Of course GoW series, Team ICO, and others are not too shabby either!

Thanks for the post Steve, I want the Collectors for this so bad, I cant wait to get this and a nice Logitech wheel.

I love OS, but if you guys want to know what's going on with GT5, go to GT Planet... http://www.gtplanet.net/

If something is known about GT5, you will easily find it there. No reason to speculate here. Just read through all the news stories since E3 and you will know all there is to know right now about the game. Though even here, there's a lot of unanswered stuff. The devs just aren't giving it up. That being said, the game is still over 3 months away and we have a lot of info at this point in time compared to most other games that are still that far away.

Definitely a great site. Have them subscribed for videos on YouTube. I have my Collector's pre-ordered on Amazon and used the $20 off I got from getting RDR. Now to get a wheel when this drops!

Kind of OT, but do you have a wheel in mind already or are you still trying to sort out which one is best? I'm not a hardcore racing guy and have never had a wheel before but would like to pick one up for GT5.

I am in the process of deciding between the Logitech ones. They seem to be the best all around for your money, and work with the PC flawlessly as well. Amazon usually sells them cheaper than list, as well as newegg.com. I expect them to have specials on them when the game ships. They usually do.

Here is a good wiki for the wheels.

It is either the GT or G27 I will decide on, more than likely the G27 when I see it dip below $200 like it sometimes does on Amazon.
