At first glance, it appeared the GT5 demo popping up in Best Buy stores around the United States – while certainly exciting – did not reveal any new features or content. Now that more users in our forums are getting their hands on it, however, it seems that is definitely not the case. Collisions reveal dramatic and impressive new car damage modeling – I’ll let these screenshots by GTPlanet user Asane and gamer28 speak for themselves.
See more articles on Best Buy, Damage, and Screenshots.
PLEASE!!! Make Attention! GTplanet READ THIS! And share this information with KAZUNORI! and every fan of Gt. Well brothers and sisters everybody knows that Kazunori is a master of creation simulation and we love his work.But there is one missing thing that gt5 do not have and makes me cry.Kazunori forget to put a one beautiful camera that Forza3 have. Everybody love the grafics in gt5 but WHERE! is this camera that you could enjoy the beautiful grafics from outside the car.I meen that you could pull the triger during a race and look around every side and see whole boody of a car.Inside in the cockpit view is perfect you can turn around camera on left end right .
It’s in GT5:Prologue. All you have to do is go to options. I’m sure it will be in GT5. I’ve said this already. I’d care more for Customization, or atleast custom paint colors so that we have some individuality in online races with the same make & models.
In my honest opinion, Polyphony still have LOTS of work to do with the damage, there is floating headlights in the air and clipping all over the place.
Look, for those who are complaining that’s damage is unrealistic, or wow, it looks crappy. Truth is, it’ll never be “real” damage, because the sort of stunts we pull in GT5 can’t be done “in real life.” After smashing into the wall at 100km/hr+…no car can just reverse, get back on track and drive around as if only the steering or gear box is screwed up. In “real life”, you can’t continually smash into the wall at 100km/hr+ at different angles to see how visually misshaped your car can become. And in “real life”, no one drives around with a bashed up Ferrari, they call a tow truck to untangle their mess, if they are still alive.
Funny how if PD made damage “realistic”, everyone would start crying about its difficulty and say how fragile the cars in GT5 and whine that the cars don’t survive 150km/hr crashes. Well, car manufacturers don’t want to hear that their cars aren’t safe now, do they? Personally, I think car manufacturers are allowing PD to put damage to this extent, because it shows that their cars can still run after smashing into a wall at high speeds and the driver can still survive.
Lol. Best Buy employees will see a client coming and say “there comes another GT5 fan”
So the GT5 demo is at the Bestbuy in the Mall of America. The damage modeling does live up to expectations but the sound when crashing into barriers is pretty weak. The lambo was fun to drive and the new physics engine is going to take some getting used to.
Less than two months bitches!
Not the greatest damage, but not the worst. I like it though, barring some nitpicking. Specially given constraint of tech and legality/licensing restrictions. Its all good. Anyword on tire blowouts or other wear and tear related damage?
Yes we need tire damage/wear info.
how could Kaz let these beautiful cars get destroyed like that?
Videos will be up soon.
They just kicked me outta best buy but I got videos
Best buy in tha Bronx got gr 5 demo
I was positively shocked when I saw the pics. We can expect all this damage and more to be shown at TGS this month.
Please, everyone who is able to go to a Best Buy store make a video.
Look new damages!http://www.gturismo5.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3148&start=2145
that red 458 looks like the image has been messed with i hope no one is f ing around and this “new damage” is for real, but seriously why is this at best buy seems strange
roll on november
That makes me worried..We have to see video.Otherwise,its hard to believe those pics are real.
I think they are real, if you remember the first series of damage pictures on an enzo, you could see the whole front frame had just been “moved” from the front of the car… I think that’s how GT5’s damage will be like ;)
I really hope so :)
Just got back from my local BEST BUY (The High Lands,Wheeling WV).This game looks great!!!!!!Can’t wait to try out the wheel on Nov 2nd…
Why do you guys always care about the damage in GT5 anyway?
What I only care about is knowing all of the trakcs and cars.
Thats all.
Jordan, I send you the new screenshots link.
OMG I love this. This is what I want when they’re talking about damage. I just can’t understand why there are still people complaining. If you want it more realistic just take your car and smash it into a wall.
None of the Best Buys in my area got the GT 5 Demo yet. Once the store down the road from me gets it I’ll be able to use my wheel on the demo. I’ll have video of the drive.
I’m going to Best Buy. If I see good damage, I’ll see what kind of pictures I can get. Luckily for me, Best Buy is 5 minutes down the road!
Good luck. Any chance of some video footage?
Demo wasn’t there yet. :(
The damage is apparantly dynamic which should make replays look stunning with every crash unique. Can you imagine what it’s going to be like when they finish the code and add extra spot effects like shattered glass and small bits of metal flying across the track. I’m sure you’ll be able to use the photo mode to capture those insane crashes.
Manufacturers want their cars to continue running, no matter what. This means that it’s kind of hard for PD to make a car shatter into little pieces, and still have it running. So the next best thing is, make the car crumble…a lot.
In GRID and DiRT you can entirely total your car, although Gran Turismo may be an exception to this rule as a result of its superior realism and handing dynamics.
lol some people will never be happy. you kids ask for damage, they give it to you and you complain. and the worse part………the game isnt even out yet.
I agree entirely. It’s unbelievably sad.
OMG! Can’t wait for this!
GT6 won’t be released for another decade? ;)
On a serious note, I hope you’re wrong. After all, competition does breed perfection. (Not that the Gran Turismo series needs much help on that front).
I would have to agree with pLiDeX, the damage looks a little too predictable, and definitely unrealistic.
Most of these images were no doubt the result of driving a car into a wall several times at high speed. That isn’t realistic, and doesn’t sit comfortably in a game touted as the real driving simulator.
For me to be happy with the damage in GT5, it would have to be terminal, in both physics and visuals, anything less would be doing the concept a disservice.
IRL, the last time I had a crash in my car, my front bumper disintegrated into pieces no bigger than than the palm of my hand, I was only driving 60mph, and I didn’t even hit a wall.
You say that these images are “no doubt the result of driving a car into a wall several times at high speed,” with absolutely nothing to back that claim up, then dismiss the game as unrealistic as a result of that presumption. Where do you buy your logic from?
After all it’s a game. Sure, a heavy impact in RL would take you out of the race. I think, this will never happen in GT, just like you could always “mysteriously” crawl back to your pit with an empty tank in GT4
“Most of these images were no doubt the result of driving a car into a wall several times at high speed”…how can you possibly know that from looking at a still image of a crash. I know in the past builds the damage was nowhere near 1 to 1, but I am certain that this is our first true look at the extent of damage in GT5.
I’m unaware of any realistic racing sim having damage approaching this, with the possible exception of iRacing, which is a game you spend money on for eternity.
Codemasters do have nice damage, but it’s generic – no fiberglass or carbon that I’m aware of. And the the games are otherwise poo. Good luck finding the perfect game if GT5 lets you down.
funny, when I crash into a VW touareg with my 20 year old car, the front bumper was “intact”, but 50 centimeters in my car… and the engine came through my dashboard.
Anyway, I’m glad to see crashed like that, rather than no crash at all.
God i hate haters xD
@infamousDee: So let me get this right… You are countering my ‘unsubstantiated’ claim with another unsubstantiated claim? I never dismissed the game as unrealistic either, I actually dismissed the damage modelling as unrealistic, based on the evidence I have seen thus far, which, it appears to be.
@2005pierric: I’m not a hater, far from it, I admire GT greatly. Its just that I feel the damage in GT5 is only there because of pressure from certain parts of the gaming community. I’d be quite happy if there was no damage modelling at all, than settle for something that was created just to appease.
GT5 will be the king of all games for the next decade most likely
OMFG… GT5 will be the king of all PS3 Games!
I dont like pict 5th, the mercedes logo is shifted left… is like a sticker or what? just not GT realistic.
The badge looks to be flying off while the car is in motion.
I hope so…
If they can get the damage right on 100% of the cars, then I won’t mind that only 20% of the cars have interior views.
Guys, can someone please educate me. Does every car have damage modeling?
Every car has damage, but on Premiums it will be more dramatic. Nobody knows so far how damage looks on Standard cars.
Ohg my god! I never tought Polyphony would do that!
I still don`t understand why they don`t just release this demo (or any kind of demo) on PSN. I would be satisfied with just one car and one track. It`s a shame the Time Trial demo is not playable anymore.
They obviously have not problem showing GT5`s current builds, so why not release a demo for everyone ?
Because if everyone had access to the demo in the comfort of their own home, what reason would they have to visit gamescom and e3?
They could always play another game :) Or Sony could show more content of GT5, more cars, new tracks, …
Because of:
1. Hype (for both the game and Best Buy)
2. Best Buy will have more visitors, who are potential clients.
ok, it’s official, gt5 is the best. I cant wait to play this game. Hopefully the canada best buy stores get the demo!!!
well jordan the pics are fantastic.its actually made my day a bit brighter and the release wait alot more intense.nice work jordan
Well I’m going up to best buy later to return something so ill be sure to check it out if they have it there. If it looks this good ill be sure to take some pictures of my own….hopefully with a higher quality.
another teaser, take a cam and make a video dude… we all gonna be thankful to you for that.
ddl8 why don’t you shut up you moron.
Uhh…is linking aloud here?
Just in case use this this : /watch?v=jv7bHsOTvKc
No video of the crash but here’s what happens to the car after it.
Wow. Thanks for the video. That is some serious damage!
But fibre glass can carbon fibre doesn’t crumple like these screen shots. It snaps and fractures.
yep, i don’t understand how there is people saying that this is realistic, amazing, perfect, i’m not a forza fanboy, neither a GT fanboy, i’m just saying what i think
i don’t care if it isn’t ultra realistic, for me the problem is that it looks ugly
I just knew the old damage model couldn’t be the finished product. Yamauchi-san did, after all, ask us to “expect perfection!”
This looks much better than the old model.
November can’t come fast enough!
OMG! That looks so real.
Kinda strange that they didn’t show this at Gamescon 2010, but in a mal…
Yeah, GamesCom would have been the right place to show this to the gaming world. Very strange indeed
This is AMAZING!! :D Can’t wait for the release. I’m going to pre-order the collector’s edition next week.
why not to make a video and show it to the public? Screenshots… ok they are not bad… but why not to make a video… cmon its 21 century – every cell phone got one now?????????????!!!!!!!!! So you must be liking to tease people i guess!!!!!!!!!!! Assholes.
Dude, calm down.
I am happy enough to see there are people who actually take the effort to show us some new things.
I say : Big ups to Asane and gamer28!
Amazing, more than I ever could’ve hoped for.
Woow!! I have never thought that GT5 will impress me like that. This is the REAL DRIVING SIMULATOR the crashes are unbelievable good!! I hope we´ll see the effects on all cars, although premium cars have damage to the engine and so on. This game will TOP every racing game that was ever made and it TOP´s itself by far. And this huge packet of cars and features will be the masterpiece!
Haha, this made my day after some bad news :-)
Amazing….. this makes me think back to what i said to my mates ages ago….I predict that GT5 will be an absolute monster of a game and by looking at these images I think that it will be.
Wonder how damage to the front of your car especially the lights would affect night driving
Try not to break your headlights then ;)
I seriously thought these were real photos! It’s hard to believe. I wonder why Kaz didn’t demonstrate this feature at gamescom? Maybe he’ll show present this at TGS Can’t wait!
Oh, and that picture of the SLS AMG, if the TV edge wasn’t showing, I’d have a hard time telling that it’s a game. Same goes for the Nissan. I’m in love with this game I haven’t even played…. IT’S JUST SO BEAUTFUL!!!! *bursts into tears*
I hope this demo will be available on psn for all to play :’)
Hope too :)
HOLY SHOOT!!!!! I had to use the bathroom when I got on the computer, but, eh, not anymore…
58 days left (Europe)
Some of you guys need to relax.
The damage model isn’t 100% realistic in the sense because they aren’t completely removing body panels, so in turn, they have to make them crumple as much as they can. In real life the panels would come completely off or disintegrate like carbon fibre does, but because they can’t do that, they have to show it like you see here.
I think it looks incredibly awesome, I don’t intend to crash often but when you have one of those unexpected mid race crashes, I LOVE watching the replays.
Any doubts about the crash system for me are gone :) Bring on November 4 ;)
I agree about both things, I mean, the damage will most likely be improved with the coming of GT6, but really, there’s not that much to fix.
PS: That’s an epic name.
KY / PD TAKE NOTICE !
SHATTERED WINDOWS? When crashing so hard that it deforms the car in a way like shown in the screensnaps it is a 100% certainty that your window(s)
will be crushed to thousands of pieces all over, in and around your car.
Maybe the last picture reveils a missing backwindow?
Nonetheless, damagemodel is improving and that’s great!
@RT*// WNDWLCKR3000 Yeah I do want to see shattering windows off a car lol.
The damage that I see so far is good, but looks so ugly.
Oh well thats damage…
Why should KY or PD take any notice of ridiculous comments like this? They have better stuff to do than to pay any attention to retarded GT fanboys.
Yeah, the creators of the greatest racing sim ever don’t know how glass shatters. Are you stupid or something? The number of imbeciles on this board is just incredible.
@F.G.
Yeah, seriously…
“Gran Turismo Six has been announced! We made the damage extra special, but apparently forgot about the physics, car detail, graphics, tuning, and customization! But don’t worry, we put in windows that smash on impact!”
It’ll probably happen if these useless comments keep popping up. Hahahahaha
There should be large cracks all over the window at least
Dear F.G. [Forza Gaylord],
Restrain yourself, ventilate the frustration of your GT nonskills elsewhere.
I suggest Forza where you will meet all the others of your stature.
Have a good life.
Hi!!!
A turd is shot – a fantastic reached! The emotion of happines is inappropriately felt at this, screen shot.
The damage is the requirement of the simulation.
Regars,
Mitsi -_-
Wow I want to see that in motion, I hope it comes to the UK!
Parts should fall off, otherwise it looks pretty good. But my number 1 is still GRID in terms of damage, maybe after GT5 release it will change.
and forza fans saying forza 3 have better damage ,
gt gamemakers didn’t want damage but people asked for it and look what they did for a short time :) .. this is really good , i just can’t wait for november !! ..
Check out all the haters! Seriously people, you all cried because GT didn’t have damage like that other game, now GT5 has damage better than that other game, it’s too much for you to handle ! Nothing left to complain about? Sad.
Totally Agree!
Looks good but one thing how will standard cars fair up to damage against premium cars will they have less visual damage which will look stupid on a mixed grid i guess time will tell.
the damage should atleast decrease the aero dynamics
and if a bumper comes off then it should be replacable at the pits / still reduction on performance
to be honest I thought the damage would be so rubbish that it would ruin the sense of realism but this new model looks amazing! Everything about GT5 is so damn real! I LOVE IT.
I guess we’ll be seeing loads of crash compilations on youtube :L
same ere, i thought the damage was a bit crap, but now its great. Shame i dont live near a best buy
haha, Yeah. Best buy aren’t in the UK :L
There is a best Buy in Lakeside (uk)
OMG!
To lakeside I must venture!
I can’t wait to be driving my Ferrari 458 Italia while playing Great Balls of Fire on the radio lol.
I can’t wait to import my cars from GT PSP :)
Its not
And did anyone else think the 458 italia on the top right hand corner looked like the new renault clio sport. It got my hopes up. Hopefully there is lods of cool new hot hatches in the game.
OH……………………………………MY……………………….…………………. GOD that is so cool. Now all we need is night on all tracks and dynamic weather conformation. Hopefully we will get that ( or more) at tgs at the end of september.
Hmmmmm…this is looking way much better now. The “old” damage pics and vids were pathetic.
Ok its sooo fine PD.im satisfied.i prefer dont want any concentration on realistic damage.concentrate for other thing thats major thing.
Looks tremendous! Lord knows what the final product is gonna look like!!
Definitely the best damage screenshots I’ve seen so far.
@ @ndr3w people like u r mentally confused why. u complain
when theres damage and when there is ur still complain? one thing u have to remember is that its a game not real life.
carto, yes you right I am mentally confused :)
Like I said not a complaint just an observation.
I’m heading to Best Buy tomorrow and plan on playing for hours. That is if they have it over here already… The damage btw does look a little exaggerated but hey, it’s a game and PD’s first shot at damage. Can’t wait until Nov. 2nd!!
Yep, well It’s good enough.
Good enough because it’s GT5, right? If this had been the first damage model on Forza you’d be singing a different tune I’m sure.
Like @ndr3w, I’m not knocking your beloved game, but I’m not going to say something looks good when it doesn’t, just because it’s GT5. Still, with only 20% of the cars showing it, and me only driving in bumper/hood view, I guess I won’t have to look at it too much!
Although im likng the damage model, I would not say its realistic. Since when has plastic and carbon fibre been able to look like that after a collision?
Im not knocking the game it’s just an observation.
WOW, oh wow!!!
Amazing
I went to bestbuy today & played for 3 hours….
Costly repairs a good idea.. but with the option to turn it off too!!
I really hope the damage is “persistant”. By that I mean that it doesn’t automatically fix itself at the end of an event. I think that having a repair shop of something in the game, where it would actually cost you credits to repair damage would be a good addition to the game and bring another dynamic to it.
Might get people to race properly online too. Got so sick of being rammed off the road in GT5P by spastics.
P.S. Where is gt5-bestbuy-damage-1? Pic numbering starts at 2 lol.
and if stupid drivers ram in to you that they have to pay for your damaged car…but is probably difficult to make:(, but let’s hope so
Did you realy say “spastics”? wow, what century are you living in? incompetent idiots might be more appropriate.
Now THAT’S what I call a damage Model woooooot
WOW, oh wow!!!
Amazing
When I played in the NASCAR car in this demo, unfortunately, after I crashed head on into the other cars a few times, one of the body panels passed through a wheel without seeming to affect performance. Hopefully, this can be fixed before Nov. 2
IMO that damage looks awful and very unrealistic, luckly i don’t plan on crashing too much, but i prefered the little bents and bumpers slighlty falling off than this tin cars
Seriously doubt you could do better though! It’s the most realistic damage ever seen in a video game with such good graphics. Looks like real crashed cars.
have to agree with pLiDeX. never seen a single car that looks like this after a crash. from a top of the class point of view, the last damage was better in quality. although this looks very exciting. just first impressions.
would like to see video as well and get my hands on this diva of a demo. :D
@Spaghettimonster
You’ve never seen a car smashed up as bad as that, probably because a car would totally fail mechanically even before it would look something like that 458 Italia… So if you’re playing with mechanical damage on, you probably won’t be seeing any unrealistic amounts of visual damage :)
@Magic Ayrton
i haven’t played it for a lot of time, but i’m pretty sure that grid’s damage looks a lot better
“Tin cars?” Believe me, this is exactly what happens to your Ferrari when you crash it into a wall at 200 mph; if you don’t believe me, try it for yourself. :P
Nope, GRiD’s damage certainly isn’t better than this – it’s better than nearly all other games (as is DiRT’s, but this does look a little more impressive even though it doesn’t seem like there’s many parts falling off.
Wait a second . . the SLS pic: is the logo popping off? O_O
Wow what the hell is that? I wonder if its real or maybe the image is blurry
Yes, it is.
Looks like it’s just clipping to me?
A small blemish if true, something that can easily be overlooked in favour of everything else.
I played the demo at the infamous Best Buy in Oregon and I did not notice any visual damage. I did notice mechanical damage though. Either I didn’t look hard enough or maybe different stores have different builds. It’s weird to me that the skidmarks are absent but that there is more extensive damage than we have ever seen. Cool pictures either way.
They simply turned damage on, it was there all the time!
Whatbrown, could you please make a video showing mechanical damage?
Awesome!
Hey Jordan.
It’s Asane. I’ll try to get higher quality pictures tomorrow when I go again to BB. I’ll try to bring a digital camera this time.
I wanna bring my 5D Mark II DSLR, but I don’t want to attract attention.
Thanks Jay, that sounds great!
Hey Asane, i wonder how hard did you hit the car to get this level of damage, i mean, this is a 200km/h against the wall damage or a 80km/h front colission?
Screw the attention!!! Haven’t seen if there’s anything like this planned for the UK, I need hi res piccies please.
Only joking, good job so far Asane (and Gamer28). :)
Any chance of HD video???
Wow, Asane, that would be great!
You can capture HD-video with 5D MkII, too.
Regarding attention, you may try to convince people, that you’re trying to do some very important work for very important site. =)
Good luck with the quest!
can you please take note of what speed you were doing when you crash.
Tell us how much you have to hit walls until this damage will show. I hope thats not more than 10 hits :D 3-5 maybe?
jay-“well i went through the whole or nuburgring hitting all walls..so yeah count that one XD lol”
but actually 1 hit shld look like that if he was going 250km/h
Jay please take your MARK II with you to get the video and photos. It really shouldn’t be in trouble, if so just let them know your from GT Planet.
I’ll be very happy if you make a video. I want to check out how smoke looks so that I can find out if that build of the game is different from those at other BB stores.
WOW! This is def the best we’ve seen for damage. Nov 2nd cant come soon enough
I agree. And this is still work in progress.
Can’t wait to experience the FINAL product!
wooooooooooooooooow
there is so much damage that i cant see which car it is woow
GT 5 4ever
on the first pic i actually thought another 458 crashed and burnt :) holy…jesus…
****GLITCH**** sls amg…2nd pic in mid-top row the mercedes sign has moved to the left…i think thats a glitch coz its supposed to be out on the road taking turn 11
***Fakes***
FERRARI PHOTOS LOOK DISTORTED LIKE SOMEONE USED ULTRA-SMUDGE TOOL :/
I like how you’re jumping up and down shaking your hands in the air desperately screaming for attention.
Some of these pics look like they may have been doctored. The front end of the 458 does look like it’s been modded with a smudge-tool. Perhaps it’s just the quality of the pics… hope I’m wrong.
And I think it lack one gaming convention… TGS 2010…… I hope to see some epic videos with some improvements as crash effects like posted above and of course, driving feeling.. C’mon November 2nd!! Hurry UP!!!!!!
@caasimun
Those 458’s are dropping like flies in the desert, lol. I hope those pics haven’t been edited either.
I’m gonna go check out my Best Buy in Aventura, Florida (just a bit North of North Miami Beach where I live). Hopefully they’ll have the demo!
They’re not edited or anything because I also got to try the demo and achieved the same level of damage!!
@ caasinmun
TROLL ALERT!
@ caasimun
There’s no glitch if you would see true 3d glasses…
