It was even stranger and more dramatic looking before in a demo version of the game. It's been toned back for the full version of GT5 BIG TIME.

Even the damage there clearly showed a "play-dough" effect. The body simply gets "pushed" up, completely unrealistic.

Yup. I'm glad that the damage isn't like that in the final version of GT5.

I think it's pretty good considering there are like 1000+cars it's actually great they gave any damage model at all. Even "somewhat" dmg for each car is already enormous amount of data. If you want amount polygons GT5 has AND dmg model like in gta,burnout or something with this amount of tracks,weather effect and content - game has to have atleast under 100 cars, not 1000.
Methinks your greatly over-estimating the amount of work Pd put into this!
They didn't create a unique damage model for 1000+ cars. They created maybe 3 (Premium, Standard, Rally - I think) dynamic morphological models, that distort each of the 3 car types, in similar ways, in real time.
That's what it looks like to me anyways.
It's a lot better than nothing, but It can look ridiculous at times.

PD needs to higher the sensitivity and simply do more work on most of the Premium cars though. If only certain tuner cars and rally cars have the damage that allows for doors to fall off, higher the sensitivity of the visual damage for those specific cars would be awesome. I set the visual damage to off in Arcade Mode, mainly for specific/certain types of replays and for when I want to take photos due to the damage not looking severe enough to like the way most of the cars look when they're damaged. It isn't severe enough.

I gotta say,
VISUAL DAMAGE IS USELESS!!!!!!!
it's a bonus, nothing more. I really hate the fact that people mostly focus on the visual aspect of damage, it's really no at all important. This is a sim, what matters is physical damage.
They need to do away with the ability to shut damage off or put it on light in public lobbies. When damage is set to heavy, it forces even clean drivers to behave more realistically. The reason iracing is so acclaimed, is because the community is forced to race as if they were in real cars. I can't tell you how much more fun it is that way.
They're forced to drive realistically, because of realistic damage (or harshly exaggerated damage), and every driver has a safety rating, that is very important.
The smallest crashes will often force you to stop at the pit. Sometimes, if you crash bad enough, you can spend up to 10 minutes in the pit getting repairs.
People shouldn't need consequences to race realistically, but we all do.
Heavy damage in GT5 is ok, it definitely is a big consequence, but could use some improvements.
VISUAL DAMAGE IS AN AFTERTHOUGHT!!!! It would be cool to have, but physical damage is so much more important that I find it strange people even care about visual damage. Personally, I turn visual damage off, and set mechanical damage to heavy.

If you have physical damage you need visual damage to keep the illusion up. What's the point of implementing physical damage such as for example suspension/wheels buckling when you can't see it? It'd be pretty silly limping around because your front end is wrecked but it looks fine visually.

Off-topic, but I live in the Kansas city area too. I don't ever find myself wanting damage as my entire reason for playing is to get a good lap. I can understand the frustration, though, if you're trying to photograph damage.

can't always have damage on, dirty lobbies are quite popular, keeping GT5 alive for some.

One or probably the only reason visual damage can be helpful is during online race.
If I see someone infront of me with a totally distorted rear I will usually keep my distance from him.
But yet they could enhance the display or variety of damages quite easely by adding smoke when you bust you engine or a wheel hanging from an open wheel car. Stuff that can be helpfull for racing experience instead of wandering; "Did he crash or penalty" or "Is he letting me pass or he broke something". When you race against 15 other drivers any visual clue helps alot to react the right way.
