I agree with what most people have said here about the realism/simulation aspect. I know for sure when i have spare cash I'll be loading up the single player and mashing cars into walls to awe at the damage and physics and hopefully skidmarks and bumpers on the track.
Multiplayer is a different story, I'm very much up for a serious race and love the closeness of the cars in a tight clean race, its truly statisfying to overtake someone cleanly.
Mulitplayer damage will be awesome, a true teacher. Mistakes would be a tough lesson if you mess up your entry speed or apex and hit the wall, not only that but it'd look good whizzing past a broken shell just peeling off a wall.
The point about damage going to ruin your experience because of the punters will be almost defunct provided PD give us a game lobby. For example you/the host only starts/joins a race with damage on/off? If you race with GTP'rs and other decent GT forum members you agree damage is on, but any foul play/intentional damage and the driver gets removed from any tournaments/banned. i appreciate people can just join under a different PSN account/forum name but the likelyhood of en masse punterage is... unlikely, no doubt one or two would slip through.
Of course genuine mistakes cannot be avoided, accidents happen. I have rear-ended a few GTP'rs by complete accident on entry to a corner, I have also been rear-ended by GTP'rs and been planted into a wall face first. In serious races I expect the same courtesy I give if an accident happens.
Now we can only hope that PD will give us damage in general online races and not just time trials. As for paying for it, I'm happy if I total a car it costs me 100% of my winnings in mulitplayer. In single player I don't mind paying token amounts for damage aslong as it still allows even the worst drivers to be able to save for their next car(s)
On a side point, I'd appreciate abit more common sense and respect. Everyone who wants damage does not ****ing belong to Burnout or whatnot. All you opposed to damage who keep telling us to go play something else can get ****ed. We have a right to want the same as you don't want. It only takes a simple 'Allow damage Yes/No' when creating a game to keep everyone happy, but it does piss me off when you dismiss us like some second class gamers.
