i came buckets when I saw the pics.

Heres some photos of the PD setup at Gamescom. All the GT5 Pods.. expect information and videos to come up soon as the doors are open at gamescom.

BTW that Audi TT is a GT simulator. The top drivers that play get to have a chance to play it insid the Audi TT simulator. Damn wish i was there. :(

I just got here and the pics, news, etc... are awesome. However, any update as to when this will be released (I'm in PAL region)?

I wouldnt expect a release date being announced until Tokyo Game Show. So dont get your hopes up until then. ;)

Gran Turismo 5 will (finally) crush, flip those lovely cars

by Randy Nelson { Aug 18th 2009 at 7:30PM }

There have been some big PlayStation-related announcements today: the PS3 Slim, a PS3 price drop and now the Gran Turismo series is really, seriously, finally incorporating visible car damage. On the official Gran Turismo 5 site, the latest spec sheet for the game touts that its physics model "completely renders deformation from crash." Not scratches, not scuffs, but deformation. (Backing up what we saw in the E3 trailer for the game.)

The site also reveals that, in what seems to be an attempt to make up for the absence of spectacular crashes, cars will flip and even land upside-down in reaction to collisions. Of course, all of this will be for naught if a simple bump -- the kind that, in GT5 Prologue, pushes cars aside like they're made of balsa wood -- instantly totals other autos and sends them flying to the moon. We don't think we can wait until GT7 for that to be fixed.

GT5 gameplay video is up!!!

sweet.

There is also damage in that video. Look at the screen in the background. Around halfway you see the bumper start to hang off and the door come open.

Add this to the op.

Things to do when it comes out:

I buy the game
I go home
I insert disk to ps3
I load the game
I get into a fast car
I crash the car with 300km/h on the first wall
I see what will happen

mhhhh I love city tracks
