Gran Turismo 5's Damage Explained

Sony has debunked claims that damage in Gran Turismo 5 is unlocked, telling IGN that the feature "occurs right from the beginning." 

Since Polyphony's long in development driving simulator released last week there's been confusion about how damage works in Gran Turismo 5, with its implementation disappointing some whilean online video has suggested than it's more extensive than is immediately apparent. 

Sony has since clarified to IGN how damage works in the game. "Damage occurs to cars right from the beginning," Sony said in a statement, "it is not "unlocked." 

Confusion seems to have stemmed from its differing implementation across the game's extensive garage, a point that Sony further clarified. "Standard models have minor deformation and scratches," said Sony, "Premium cars have greater visible level of damage, and Premium racing models have the highest level of damage."  

IGN gave Gran Turismo 5 an 8.5, and we'll be bringing you the full video review shortly.

This is old news,I know this for a few days now.

This is the first time I've heard about it but if it is old news then could a mod please delete the thread

Damage is there from the beginning but it becomes more and more realistic as you level up, with mechanical and cosmetic damage becoming factors. 

what he was originally saying is that as you level up damage begins to affect your cars.

You have damage right from the beginning, but obviously, as you get better at the game, you have a greater challenge implemented through damage.

damage is there right from the beginning, that is correct, however greater detail and impact will get unlocked as you progress.

Damage is NOT UNLOCKED, Jesus Christ.The game doesn't even have mechanical damage.It's coming in a december update. SOURCE. Now stop taking about this so called level 40 damage.
