that's amazing !

this game is gunna be greattt

This is a huge deal and something I've been wanting for a long while. To those of you saying go play Burnout if you want to see crashes, GT is a sim.  I say, damage and crashes are part of that simulation.  This'll also massively improve online races, and stop them playing like bumper cars.

This is the best Prologue yet!!

This games rocks! Finished class 'A' and now on the unlockable class 'S'. Class S is hard as nails!

it better not cost  too much credits if any to fix your car.....it takes to long to build credit and you need every cent to save for that dream powerhouse...RS8 anyone

@ Da Saint - Get to class 'S' and you rake the money in. I do the Daytona ring in a tuned GT40. Get first and you get 32.500 credits and it only takes about 3-4 mins! : )

Thank God for Polyphony Digital. Tons and tons of Devs try hard to top them, but at the end of the day, only they can create an amazing and realistic driving simulator.  Not even Forza Motorsport can compete against the majesty that is Gran Turismo! 

YES! YES! Car damage! OMG I have waited so long for hearing this! :D

I love PS3's.  :D

The Question is, Will it be a free update? Although it was rather a cheap game, if they do charge it I would like to see other stuff like more F1 car teams etc.

psn id: gingo.... i dont think damage is absolutely necessary but it will be a nice addition

Ugh, lame. I don't understand why people want to see their cars messed up. I personally don't need car damage as a means for handling the car better. I hope this is an optional addition.

people just want to be like real life driving expefrience. the power of the ps3 can give them that!

This really isnt neccasary...

but its jux another reason to show why GT is better then Forza

haha Class S is imposible indeed. I'm gonna save for the F1-car xD

I really don't care if GT5 Prologue or the full GT5 games doen't have damage or not, but it would be cool to see damage in the game. I really don't know why a lot of people make a big deal about the GT games not having damage because the GT series is a realistic racing simulator and the realism is totally focused on the racing aspect of the game and not damage.

i think damage wil be a greataddition adding to the realism of the game. thats the only thing i ever felt was wrong with the gran turismo series. its not "a useless feature ". cars get damaged when they hit something beleive it or not. lol

@kajii - yeah i'd say it will be optional but maybe that option will only be for multiplayer and not the main game..

@AclayPS3 -  Of course GT hasn't been about damage (they couldn't get it) but real life driving HAS damages and with this being a simulation of real life driving do you not think it would be more authentic then bumber cars??

That is awesome. So long as it looks as realistic as everything else, im sure it will be great!

Cheers Polyphony!!

I would hate to save up and buy an R8 and then wreck it somewhere.  It would be cool though if the repair costs in game were relative to to the car costs.  It would make you race a lot more carefully!!!

So expect it in GT5 great now it's truly the most realistic car simulator game

Damage will be awesome!

They should jus wait until the full GT5.

yes!!!! finaly!!!!

cant wait!!

Everybody saying that they don't care about damage and whatnot in this game must not understand what a SIMULATION is. Cars bouncing off of each other at 180 miles per hour and taking no damage is the sign of a poor simulation. Now don't get me wrong, the GT series is AMAZING, regardless of damage. But this addition will put it that much closer to real life, and show off the power of the PlayStation 3. Polyphony said that it would not even attempt damage unless it would be very realistic, so I think this is going to be a treat to see how well they made it look. Great job Polyphony!
