There would be no point in telling the birthday boy that he's going to have a surprise party.

Is kazunori there?

My bros, who cares if they only have one track in a show floor demo... that's how things have always been done.

FIFA 10 Gamescom demo only has a handful teams, but do you really think it's because the rest are not done? No, it's because that's not what the developers want you to focus on.

 

[dancardesigner]

Lol that's a wee bit of an exaggeration, going from "one playable demo track" to "the game's hardly been started!!!!!"

It does kinda suk though. Looks like for the next month, all we're gonna be doing is nitpicking vids of the same circuit.

add mazda Rx-7
might be a r8 v10 in front of the impreza (But could just be the v8 in prologue)

to far away to say if thats the v10 r8

 

[Blitz187]

Ok Im a believer... happens to be one of my favorite tracks too Finally some good news about GT5!! My day is made!! 👍

 

[Jay]

It's not, it's the V8 it seems. The side intake cowlings appear to be the standard V8's. But with a close look I may still be wrong.

Now...I just watched the GT5 footage but did anyone else notice that the sense of speed was almost non-existent? Prologue had a MUCH better sense of speed or is it because of the camera that makes it look that way?

Probably the lack of audio?

Joysiq (ps3 fanboy) has this up.......

There have been some big PlayStation-related announcements today: the PS3 Slim, a PS3 price drop and now the Gran Turismo series is really, seriously, finally incorporating visible car damage. On the official Gran Turismo 5 site, the latest spec sheet for the game touts that its physics model "completely renders deformation from crash." Not scratches, not scuffs, but deformation. (Backing up what we saw in the E3 trailer for the game.)

The site also reveals that, in what seems to be an attempt to make up for the absence of spectacular crashes, cars will flip and even land upside-down in reaction to collisions. Of course, all of this will be for naught if a simple bump -- the kind that, in GT5 Prologue, pushes cars aside like they're made of balsa wood -- instantly totals other autos and sends them flying to the moon. We don't think we can wait until GT7 for that to be fixed.

Sorry if it's been posted, I tried to check on the official site but as reported on her it's "down for maintinece"

Wooohoooo

We were wrong - GT5 playable on the show floor, complete with damage (gasp!)

 

[Slurm]

I'd like to point out that we have here road cars in a race alongside what appears to be a fully damageable car. Damage not restricted to race cars only?

 

[Bekimche]

Probably the lack of audio?

No I meant that it looks slow...looks like the car is doing half the speed that's indicated

 

[sher_da_putt]

I didn't think about that! You are right, how can the scooby crash but not the other cars. I think this confirms it, but we really need some more gameplay vids, someone has to crash into the other cars.

Your right!

O god I hope you are right, good thinking 👍

 

[the Interceptor]

You know what one should do? As soon as the race starts, he should turn around and hit a car (possible a stock model) head-on. That should give us an idea of the damage model.

 

[wbrinkman]

Well it's a rally car, you could argue that they were more keen on getting damage done in there; rather then lets say: a Daihatsu Copen.

 

[dancardesigner]

I'll repeat

[Kingdizzi]

Well sirolf from Gaf said that gameplay video showing damage is being uploaded. Interesting to see what the damage looks like in full view.

 

[sher_da_putt]

Yeah, but they might only be referring to the scooby

 

[Jay]

its easy to tell by the wheels and the exhaust pipes , but cant see them :/

Side skirts, side air dam, front bumper (very slightly) are all different on the V10, plus the V10 badge. but in the video all I can see for now clear enough is the side airdam, which appears to be the V8's.


Gran-turismo.com works now and they put the GT PSP article back on that they removed earlier, but not the GT5 article.

Thing that bugs me though, the gay that got out of his seat after he totaled his car, he looked bored

Edit: Damn meant to say guy
