Gran Turismo 5 was being shown at GamesCom and you could damage vehicles but it's
not done yet. Polyphony Digital's Kazunori Yamauchi explained that the damage code was just the first step and that they would be doing more to it before the game's release date. Now damage won't affect all cars, and there are over 1000 of them, but for the most part you'll have affected driving and steering if you beat up your vehicle. Oh yeah, the game's due out shortly after the PSP version which heads to stores in early October. So, we might be see GT5 coming out this year. Let's hope so.
