Wait. Prologue doesn't have damage?

I always thought the reason Sony couldn't have damage in GT but Microsoft could have it in Forza was that GT had more cars so it was too much of a legal hassle to sort out.

Why is this a problem with only a small number of cars in Prologue?

It's not a big technical problem, the cars in Gran Turismo are based on the real car models from the manufacturers. The developers need to ask for permission to destroy their cars, some manufacturers have been slow to warm up to the idea, but the devs stated they are sure the legal work will be worked out soon.

For a game like Motorstorm they didn't use real car models, just car models inspired by existing models. So those devs could do whatever they want with these virtual cars, like they did.

 if I were to guess, I would say the damage code is already done, or very far into the development phase. The way the head guy said damage will be coming "very very soon", sounds to me like more of a legal issues then a technical one.

I would bet that that once all the manufacturers are on board, it will be a download.

As for graphical updates, I would like to see weather effects added to GT5. Not sure if that's strictly considered graphical improvements though.
