Ever wonder why there is almost no damage?

Its actually quite simple, but stupid. The car producers wont let them damage their cars for fear of losing market. Talk about paranoid.

(thats why burnout uses fake cars)

Probably true, why do they have damage in Forza though? I hope they will have damage capabilities in the next version.

Here we go off gamespot

I realize this is a forum and the member apparently copied off wikipedia, but if you want i can see if any other sites i was browsing for pgr3 information off of mentioned the damage modeling

Also, this forum is referring to the play station but from what ive seen liscensed cars can only show a minimum amount of damage

Gee · 25-01-2006, 08:25 PM

I have no idea why there is no damage but most racing games have no damage and the few that do aren't very realistic,I know for a fact driving a car at high speeds into a wall causes a lot more damage than a slighty crumpled front.

taylor410 · 25-01-2006, 08:27 PM

Lol if you look at the new NFS trailer he
1. Runs thru two sign poles
2. Smashes into the side of a semi
and of course
3. Sustains no damage

Thats why I cant wait for burnout revenge looks like some sweet crash effects look at this: http://screenshots.teamxbox.com/scre...rnout-Revenge/

I imagine they dont have damage for a very simple reason, they kepts it a very arcade like game mixed with a simulator. They want to probably still make the game fun for people who have never played a racing game and dont break for turns. People might get sick of it when they keep having to restart the race because they tried to take a turn at 100mph.

Just my .02

taylor410 · 27-01-2006, 05:34 PM

I think if they had added damage, it would have been mostly cosmetic, and not affect the actual driveability.

camwilson04 · 29-01-2006, 08:23 PM

i have heard this as well but for GT3 for ps2, they sell so many cars in some countries through that game that they want the cars lookin nice.

TurkeyRap · 30-01-2006, 10:35 AM

there is some damage, but not a lot. Not so little to get mad about.

taylor410 · 30-01-2006, 04:07 PM

Not enough to show off high def graphics though
