Besides the updates in the physics department of the game, the graphics portion has also received an equally impressive upgrade. Cars in Gran Turismo 4 were composed of an average of 4000 polygons. In GT5: Prologue, cars will be composed of an average of 200,000 polygons. The 50-fold increase in resolution shows, as cars in GT5: Prologue appear to have the best models of a car game to date. Polyphony also spent a considerable amount of time ensuring each car was exactly as the manufacture wanted them to be recreated, right down the to pit crew's uniforms. This may seem a petty detail, but it helps serve to even further immense gamers into the races.
The game's AI has also received significant improvements in order to keep racers on their toes. However, as the series has had a reputation of being difficult, the game will include two difficulties, standard and professional. Both are designed to make the game challenging, but standard should allow beginners to the series some breathing space.

Albeit not the final incarnation of Gran Turismo 5, Prologue should serve as a welcome and fine addition to the Gran Turismo line of games. On the heels of the announcement of the Dual Shock 3 controller, the racer will also support full rumble to help feel gamers like they are in the cockpit themselves. The game is currently set to release on December 13 in Japan, with no definite US or EU release. However, the popularity of the series should hopefully help carry the game from Japanese shores.

Cool
car damage? omg are sure this is new? ill need new underwear is this is real.
please someone confirm car damage will be on prologue.
When talking about the graphic you mention "pixels" . Don't you mean "polygons"?
Wow, 200,000 pixels. I presume they've finally moved away from 3D and gone 2D?
I'd like to see pictures of some of the car damage. But yea i'm completely enthrwalled by this entire thing. GT5:P demo rocks my socks
@Buzzlightyear
200,000 - POLYGONS not pixels LOL.
no wen it might be out in uk?
GT5 is one of the reasons I bought a PS3, and if these guys can pull off a great game at 1080P/60FPS then that will be awesome! It will then be believeable that other developers could make games at that same resolution and frame rate.
I can't wait to BUY the demo, but I just hope that it isn't priced near a full game.
wow, just wow, they really poured a lot of effort in this game...and their effort has to be appreciated come release day. i'm glad they included damage, these are great changes to the GT franchise, defo a 1st day purchase. the greatest has actualy become greater
Any mention of Downloadable content off the PSN. I hope one can download more cars becasue I feel that the car list is a little small for a GT game.
What about sixaxis support? I read somewhere that it's not gonna be used during the actual driving. I don't care too much about rumble. For me it would be more immersive to play this game using the sixaxis instead of the analog.
Some sites suggest that it may be released Dec. 24th in the US!!!
God that would be a great Christmas present, or should I say Jesus, LOL
CAR DAMAGE YES!!!!! This quote is evidence that every other racer that has been made or will be made for at least a year will be OWNED by GT:P.
Gran Turismo 5 & Metal Gear are THE only reasons why I bought a PS3. I hope they won't disappoint everyone.
No more bumper car simulator? This is awesome news then. It was the only dissappoiting part of the Prologue demo.
Paul Coroneos-
I cannot believe that you would misinform everyone by stating GT5 Prologue has car damage. Do you have any idea how stupid you are? That information is HUGE and will bring a lot of peoples' hopes up, when it has been stated repeatedly bey every blogging site, and the devs themselves, that it will NOT have car damage.
Not only that, but you don't know the difference between a "pixel" and a "polygon" nor did you know that the opponent AI has and always has been a weak point in the GT series.
Have you even played a GT game you dumbass?
wow so car damage is in it. i was under the impresstion that it might be in the final game but not in prologue
car damage on Prologue??? are you sure????, please confirm, please.
uhhh did he say theres gonna be car damage, why did they say theres not gonna be any car damage the whole time, even the president said no damage cause he wants damage to be real
nicz!! never actually bought a gt game b4 but this is gonna be a definite buy
Leeman, where are you? Where are you leeman? Don't have anything to say to this? MMM reality's a bich, isn't it buddy?
i want source please!!! or someone contact Sony so we can be sure damage will be on gt5p.
so far officially they havent said anything about dmg.
good, finally it will appeal to more people

For the lazy...
"
Also at the behest of fans is a working damage model, one of unspecified depth. We didn't see Kaz run into anything during our session, so it was hard to tell if the game features the system in place yet. When asked about the new built-from-the-ground-up AI code and the option for car damage, Yamauchi indicated that CPU controlled drivers are aware of the new penalties for playing "bumper cars." With up to sixteen cars on the track, they need to be aware of each and the danger of spinning out when one comes in contact with another.
Yamauchi says these changes will lead to fewer cars lining up as they had in previous Gran Turismo games."
God the legendary series is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pixels? Really?
Maybe PSU should just keep copy/pasting all their articles. At least they'll get things right.
Any proof(pictures) of this damage model that you speak of? How can you make such claims without any evidences? Now lets see teh rampage once GT5P ships w/o car damage.
Paul Cornball where the bleep do u get your damn facts moron, was any research done at all for this article ??
OMG.... CAR DAMAGE !!! I was losing hope of having damage !! Cant Wait !!
pixels =/= polygons
I think someone needs to edit the article(polygons not pixels).BTW what's the proof of car damage,i know GT5 will have it,but Yamuichi(don't know if i spelt it right) said that they won't be shipping with car damage,and rather they would release a patch when it is ready.
Car damage?! CAR DAMAGE?! SIMULATED CAR DAMAGE?!!! Oh my this game is gonna rock sooooo much!!! This IS a must have! OMG I can't wait!!!
When is the game dropping I know its this week for Japan but when for US ??.....A real GT fan would careless about car damage the game will be great no matter what...NO driving sim compares to the GT series point blank
1080p at 60fps? wow. Impressive...
LOL i read the article ealier .. now i go through it again and i cant help but notice that youve changed the part with "car damaged is in the game" till "car damage has yet to be implanted" n1 :p .. you might wanna add to the end of the article that its been edited.
Yes, in earlier interviews they implied car damage, but it appears the article was edited to be more in tune with the recent demo
STEALTH EDIT FTW!! what a joke

I'm still up in the air... not knowing if there is damage. I will be getting GTP this spring... but would love some damage.
Wait for gt5 ... This is very small.On the day when the bought came to an end.
