Hilarious. Gran Turismo series creator (and professional procrastinator) Kaz Yamauchi has said that car damage - whose absence has long been the achilles heel of the venerable racing series - will be introduced "soon".

In an interview with an official Audi promo piece on the Audi R8 from earlier in the year (February), Yamauchi says that GT fans can not only expect to see in-race weather changes in the future, but "we will soon be able to simulate damage to the cars" as well.

Course, this was meant to happen in Gran Turismo 5: Prologue. Then didn't. Then it was meant to be released later, via a patch for the title. Hasn't happened. Which leads us to think he probably means it'll be introduced in Gran Turismo 5 proper, which means we can expect it in, oh, 2012.

that picture is so sad =(

Cool car damage.

Kaz takes a hundred years to make something that other companies can make in 1/4 the time.

By the time he's finished the damage system, Forza 3 will be on shelves selling copies most likely with better physics, damage, and Live support with a well extablished online community backing it.

I'm not waiting for another GT game.

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

 you read my mind,.

If Kaz settled and gave GT the same fake ass damage forza has, id stop buying Gt and thus any PS console. 

God forbid he ever settles for mediocrity like that.

South Park.

"Just how soon is soon?"

 So other companies only take 25 years?
