The Ride of Your Life

Even some arcade racing games have car damage nowadays, I don't get it why it's such a big deal...

There goes the only advantage Forza had over Gran Turismo. Gran Turismo 5 will put GT back on top after a long absence.

No, Forza 3 has a serious advantage over Gran Turismo. If you own an Xbox 360 and not a PS3 you're pretty likely to buy that game.

That may be true somewhat. However I suspect that GT5 will move a large number of consoles when it's finally released. Keep in mind the PS3 price point will be lower by that time.

But can the cars roll?

I hope so.

As much as I lve GT (which is a lot) that's always bugged be. to me that should really be used if the physics engine is supposed to be brilliant.

In that NASCAR crash from the trailer, i didn't see any flip-overs, but I hope they'll be there.

And whats WRC without a roll or two lol.

It's horrible when it happens IRL, but it DOES happen, and any "real driving simulator" should have it included. Even without damage modelling, at least the car could be reset somewhere in the track or get a DNF or something.
