How's the damage in this game?

[Artificial]

For example, if I ram a car into a barrier at 80 MPH, I should NOT be able to just drive away from that with just a broken wheel or a bent fender or whatever at all. PCars 1 was notorious for this and why I actually stopped playing it.

EDIT: Unless this is a bug, it's total crap apparently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8chl_PTekU

If you have any significant damage to the front end you won't be driving for long. you be lucky to make it around the track far enough for a pitstop for repairs.
Looks to me like here mechanical damage has been turned off and it is only performance impacting or visual turned on. Probably only visual damage on.

If you are referring to visual damage, smoke and fire, minimal, blame the manufacturers for that.

Nope. Outside damage is nice but realistic internal damaging is what I'm looking for.

Yeah, at 80 MPH, such a crash should leave the front end utterly blasted. As in no driving whatsoever. Totaled.

I've seen a couple videos now and they all show a car fully able to drive after a massive impact such as that one.

doesn mean much unless the video shows the settings used.
'With Full damage on you cant drive a lap with damage like that guy in the first vid up there

You get radiator damage now, and your car will overheat varyingy quick, if it was a hard knock you wont even make it to the pits. a small knock and your engine will be fried in about 2 laps.

OK guys. I tested it all out in the demo and this game gets a solid F. Rammed a car into a barrier at 60 MPH TWICE. Still able to drive. For the finale, I rammed it at 120 MPH. STILL ABLE TO DRIVE AWAY JUST FINE. And yes, I made sure in the Options to turn on Full Damage and even turned on Authentic for the Tire Wear.

Unacceptable. Burnout has got more realistic damage than this. This is the second PCars now and there's just no excuse at all for this. I'm really disappointed in you, SMS...

Sounds like a BS test. Yes you might be able to still drive but for how long?
IF i get more than 20% damage at the front I can't make it to pits for repairs before engine blows

If you don't believe me, try it yourself. And guess what happens when you hit a wall at even 80 MPH in real life? You get a car sandwich.

Damage isn't realistic....but I'm hardpressed to find a game with licensed cars where it is.

Forza Motorsport 4. And above probably but never had the chance to play them. And no, it wasn't perfect but it was a damn sight better than this.

I believe you can still drive but only for maybe 1 or 2 mins at the most before the engine blows

The game is realy damaged, and the dev's don't show any intention to fix it

Car damage is inconsistant at best. I've purposely rammed cars into barriers at high speeds to the effect of nothing but cosmetic damage and not so much as it changing the driving or performance of the vehicle. I've also grazed the barrier at low speed with light impact tearing tire off, breaking suspension and killing the engine. It varies from car to car and track to track.

The damage doesn't bother me as much as the other issues at hand. I never expect any title to have great damage models and effects, but I do expect a non-EA title to be delivered as advertised without having 150+ bugs.
