come to think of it I don't know. The damage would be a nice addition making the game more realistic considering it's a simulator, but it will make the game a he'll of a lot tougher.
PD are perfectionists. If damage is incorporated in gt5, if will be realistic and the way we race will have to change. No more bouncing of Walls in a last minute attempt to catch up or take over.
After careful consideration, I say yes. If gt5 wants to be better in every way and the most realistic, the game requires damage!
