This comment system is broken... I have my credentials saved, and it said it sent me an email to confirm anyway, but there was no email sent.
Guess theres no point in commenting anymore.

Yeah, I find that... there's several words that somehow screws up the system. Maybe its some kind of word filter or can't handle some punctuations or... something or other. And then when that happens, it just screws your post over and tells you that you need to confirm via email, when no email is sent =P. But then sometimes it'll appear after like an hour anyway. *sighhhh*
Anyway, eh I'm not that excited about damage. I mean if you REALLY want to see damage, then other more arcadey games like Burnout are meant for you. You'll get way more satisfaction. This is meant FIRST to be a racing sim, not a trashing car sim. I've always used the example: I don't wanna take a corner too fast cuz I'm trying to cut seconds... on lap 29/30 and fail and die cuz I slammed into a wall.

Ahhh... It does it to me too.. The thing is that it usually does it when I write a 2 paragraph post or something.. I've learned to use the copy function and then just keep trying to paste it back in over and over... frustrating

Damn. I dont want damage in prologue. I dont even see the big fuss. This isnt burnout. We just need better penalising systems online, is all.
If however damage -wil-l be done, it needs to be done properly and to do that ill be very happy if they just left that for the FULL verion of GT5...not via a download for prologue.

This news makes me think GT5 will land in 2009.

Umm.. I thought the news that GT5 was landing in about a years time would have made you think that. No?

I hope you can turn it on or off. Sometimes i like the idea of driving and not really having huge amounts of damage.
Then again, i just can't say no to a 2-player split screen head on collision with a Ferrari and an Aston.

Downloadable?
Way to give the people who don't have internet half of a game.

If you think about it, GT5 Prologue is already really half of a game, and you're getting half of that, so...

Who doesn't have an internet connection these days? Besides you could always ask someone to put it on a mem chip.

Damage system isn't going to cut it. People will still complain. GT is such a household name that people expect lots out of it. Remember how people kept complaining about GT not having in-cockpit view? GT5p finally has it and nobody is praising it. Instead, people are just complaining about its lack of damage. It has penalty doesn't it? When this damage modeling comes as a downloadable update, people will just start complaining about how it lacks weather. I'm not knocking on GT, but the hate for it is what I read on the web. People go so far to proclaim PGR as graphically better than GT5p but come on... I have both. I know which one's graphically better and technologically superior. But despite PGR having cars with less polygons than GT5p, some funky damage system that doesn't affect gameplay, and an arcade-like driving mechanic that makes it so fun, it's somehow visioned as the better racing game over GT. It's not a racing sim. It's a racing game. But somehow it's better! What's up with that? I remember someone stating how PGR4 has different independent reflections on each mirror compared to GT5p. I say "Hello, open your eyes and play GT5p again and check those mirrors."
I love PGR and I love GT. They're my favorite "driving" games. But I really don't understand how some of these people can claim PGR is graphically better. The weather system must be enough to deceive the eyes.
Btw, I'm still standing firm on my belief that damage modeling won't satiate everybody and that there'll still be complaints made about how GT5p still lacks something like still using 2D trees instead of 3D. Heck if it's not broke don't fix it. *Puts on flame shield*

^Agreed
People bash GT way to much. It's got way more features, more cars, better physics, better replay value, etc, etc, then any game I know. And now they added online racing, in-car view, damage, better physics, amazing graphics and so on. People are still saying its missing things!? Whatever, I'm sure everyone will still buy it.

I don't see GT5 being bashed at all, well not counting fanboys. There isn't much to complain about, I haven't played a racing game this detailed before and the sales are not too shabby either.

Hey Eggy, go hop on over to n4g and you'll see what i mean. Constant complaints about the game being too colorful, using 2D trees, no in-game custom soundtrack, no online lobbies, no weather, no real looking people, no McDonalds, no PizzaHut. =D
You know I don't mind at all, I love the game for what it is and what PD plans to bring out. I just wonder what complaints we'll be seeing once most everything above comes to light. Maybe "No Lambos and No Porsches?!?!"

Yeah, I'm not sure what you guys are complaining about. Plenty of people have said they are stoked for the cockpit view.
This is par for the course for any big name AAA title. No game is perfect and when a game is center stage its "faults" (even if some of them aren't really faults) are going to be discussed.

Well some of the issues you mention are valid complaints, it's not bashing. You just have to decide for yourself if those issues are so important to you that you're willing to miss out on this brilliant game.

Well you can wait and rebuy the prepatched version if you prefer.
