New GT5 video showcases damage and day/night transition

Gran Turismo 5

I was utterly underwhelmed by GT5 at E3 this year but apparently I am the only one with Nick thinking it was god’s gift to racing simulators and the rest of the Internet oozing compliments over the realism in the game.

The one thing that was pretty universal however was that the damage modelling was poor and in need of improvement before it’s release in November this year.

This is the latest video from Polyphony Digital to demonstrate how the damage modelling looks and even more interesting for me is how the day / night transition occurs.

So are you impressed? Do you care either way?

    Well, from the outside looking in, this years E3, had a pretty small amount of attention paid to it by Sony, officially. I’m, it’s presence during Sony’s keynote was a blip on the radar. Although, I do know they had a pretty large setup on the floor (and an exclusive breakout session with a select few).

    The environmental/track fidelity as absolutely amazing though, definitely enjoy the night/day transition, and the night visibility looks pretty spot on.

    As for exterior damage? Meh, don’t really care myself. I was never oen of the people crying for it. As long as there’s performance affecting damage, I’m ok with it. But, why spend most of your processing power on making sure than tiny little ding is just right? When you can add in crazy lighting, crazy interior and undercarriage detail, and authentic tracks down to the graffiti? If you want to just crash cars, why not just play burnout or something?

    undercarriage? Seriously does anyone care if the undercarriage is recreated correctly?

    I certainly don’t. That’s a level of nitpicking that’s quite frankly a little frightening, but I suppose each to their own.

    Please explain to me that a game that has particle effects never before seen in a video game.

    1000 cars, stunt arenas, go karts, rally, japanese racing, f1,day night racing weather, 20 locations with 70 variations,

    the best graphics at e3 this year. Online features that put iracing and every other racing game to shame. gt5 is so good it makes the new wrc 2010 championship rally game look 20 years old, and the funny thing is im not even exaggerating. a game where gt5 is discussed more than forza 3 in forzas own official forums?????

    the same game you guys gave 97%?

    so i say stfu, coz urr just causing, have you noticed how silent all the xbots are these days most of the internet has accepted that gt5 is its own genre!

    there are no more stupid comparisons and claims of forza 3 being better in any way or form so if gt5 is underwhelming then maybe you should get a new job and review movies or something, coz nobody gives a rabbits ass what you think!

    honestly how blind are u? do want gt 5 cars to shoot lasers out of their rear bumpers?

    You do realise Forza 3 was released a while back now, you can’t really honestly still be comparing GT5 to Forza 3?

    GT5 is like a stale cake that has a nice icing on top. You can see how flat the texturing on the tracks are in the videos. What new WRC game? Their is no footage of the new WRC game :tongue: . And what F1 in GT5?

    Is GT5 going to feature the full season for Nascar, F1 and WRC or just the cars and a few tracks?

    Oh well, since it’s the first GT game on PS3, people will be content no matter what :angel:

    Dear uninformed fox1
    here is WRC footage!
    http://www.virtualr.net/world-rally-championship-new-gameplay-footage/

    im sorry i like to race cars and not stare at leafs? i know how to race cars, unlike someone like you who is more familiar with sand trap driving and has the time to stare at stones and leaves?

    by they way all tracks have all been updated and look way better than any sim game track on the market especially with the day/night transitions ,

    im sorry but compared to gt5 any other sim according your logic is a rotten cake with stale icing!

    With all the GT5 cam videos, I see cam videos have become the new standard in graphic comparisons.

    That’s not officially released footage by the way.
