SKIDMARKS

or

DAMAGE

Image quite bad of our 'Brit' at first but then imagine the picture again but this time her looking up at you saying GRRrrr and also licking her lips?

No?

Me neither

 

[Quiet_Storm]

Depends on how many beers I've had.

 

[snicker3s]

To me skidmarks = tyre damage.

Now I've gone and confused myself.

 

[FLASH48]

Again this fasination with skid marks? Who gives a rats bottom about skid marks,or back up lights,or horns. What about important things like different tracks?

Don't stress buddy, it's just fun and games!👍

 

[patriotzero]

I'd rather damage

 

[Exorcet]

I can't even consider skid marks a feature.

 

[-ultraflow-]

Damage 👍

In real life, skid marks are severe tire wear, in games, usually what people are talking about is whether you can see the black lines on the ground where skid marks would be.

Thanks for the explanation but it was in fact an attempt to achieve humour.

On Topic: dont care much about skidmarks nor damage. I'd rather PD use their time adding more tracks.

[Bogie 19th]

****, there's my underwear.

 

[snicker3s]

Thats some damaged underwear

Which proves my point skidmarks = damage

What is up with the money???

 

[premhz]

Damage,but only if it`s realistic and well done,if not then skid marks are sorely needed!

 

[mrjoe]

Just in case u did not know it... a Skimark is also the brown line that would appear in your pants during a situation like thisone:

P.S. ignore the money... theay are 4 the laundry service...

I can get biased too :]

But... I'd prefer a tasteful mix...

 

[Radracing]

That is like asking if I would rather have Britney Spears or Jessica Alba. The answer is obvious.

Can I have them both in one night? Oh, in this case I'll take all 3.

I can get biased too :]

[ralph89]

What about Trees!! I'll go for that . Some people take this type of poll way too serious that they would get angry for no reason. Not pointing at anyone, don't beat me up.

 

[TheDabbinDave]

I expect to have both. If Shift can have realtime skid marks that look like they belong there, then what's PD's excuse?

 

[djcorrosive]

i rather see both.

All cars no matter how crap they are all produce skid marks if u know what u are doing!

Should be the case in gt5! They dont need to be there for the whole race least for 1 more lap then they go away is good enough, the fact of seeing your car produce tire marks shows realism.

 

[iwantaporsche]

We already know that there's at least *some* kind of damage in GT5. So, if I had to chose between hardcore damage simulation (knowing we have basic damage) or skidmarks, I'd take the latter. If not forced to choose then both of course, though I'd be upset if I couldn't turn the damage off and on depending on my mood any particular day.

 

[ploopsy]

Problem with damage is that its never spot on.

Tire marks are allot easier to integrate into the game since they all look the same.

 

[Lain]

When a car crash gets you off, you've lost your grip.

The fact there is discussion about it is sad. Why can't they just let go of the holy grail and admit that 1080p isn't possible with the hardware if were to get anything close to real. I've sure all the 'Full.HD' experts will cry but how many games on the PS3 (including PSN) are actually 1080p... and they don't even upscale like the 360.

Seriously, I love a game of GT and a mate and I used to race head to head in GT4, talking about where time was lost and gained helping each other get better. It was a great game for that, both wanting to best the car and track.

So much time has passed and GT5P was, just that a Prologue, I know I'm not hardcore enough to hold onto a Prologue like some but really, multiple versions of Forza have been released and did T10 let something like cheating to get a 720p rendering get in the way of putting the game in the gamers hands? No, I enjoyed Forza2 and think that Forza3 is better because they have real feedback. I wish PD would put an end to it all and get the game out so we can all enjoy their hardwork and provide feedback into making it better, all the while driving the heck out of our favourite cars.

PS, they're not spaceships and we're not on 16bit consoles anymore.

 

[craste]

What is up with the money???

Thats to pay for new tyre's

 

[YZF]

Real driving simulator should have real skidmarks.Period.

Damage is for n00bs, arcade-like fans. You are trying to not damage car unless you are destruction derby fan. Then GT is not for you.

Now skidmarks are part of real graphics and dynamics. You could see them during replays, you could see them from other cars in front of you and you could see them on next lap. They make track surface become live. Its not so synthetic anymore, polished and unchanging like those 2d backgrounds in 90's games....Gran Turismo tracks were always frozen, too clean and artificial. They need to become alive.

Skidmarks all the way!

 

[PierPressure#1]

Speaking of going off into the gravel or grass. Can they please....PLEASE take out the stupid rev limit when you're off the track? Feels like the grass and gravel have their own engine control system that is controlling your throttle and rev every time you're on them.

I'll second that. Is truly annoying.

SKIDMARKS

or

DAMAGE

Well if you put it like that: Damage!

 

[Northstar]

Damage, skid marks are purely cosmetic while Damage can actually change how the game is played.

I dont know which is funnier, the idea this thread was created, the idea it has not been locked or at least dropped to the bottom yet, or the idea the poll is so close. Thanks for the laughs
