This isn't very good news..."scratches and stuff" doesn't constitute much in the way of realism. Only race cars seem to have deformation damage. I couldn't care less about mechanical damage (though I guess it is a cool feature) but having car slam into eachother and only see scratches is underwhelming... Seriously underwhelming.

For one thing, it's still under the works. Also, it's a contractual matter. Having some damage is better than none.

Doesn't Forza 3 have damage?

Yes, so?

So why cant GT, backed by much bigger financial and brand power,, fight out a contract that would allow the same level of damage as in F3? Why can a much smaller franchise in the same genre get something done that apperently GT cant?

For one thing, GT has more cars than Forza. Also, like I said, the damage is in the works, so we can't judge until the game is out. Not only that, but as nordlead said, the mechanical damage is the most important thing. You'll be punished either way for reckless driving.
