sorry fella :*(
damn ur eagle eyes tho it was only there for a few seconds, i was looking for the sys specs for the game and saw the release date and thought i would try and be helpful by updating the thread... then it turns out it was the fuel release date instead so i changed it back.

Always loved the Colin McRae Rally/ Dirt games, I remember being blown away by the first game on the PS1.
Really looking forward to this one.

Mhm, look a Steam when it first came out. Absolute joke, awful program.
Give it time, will be amazing in the end, you know what Microsoft are like for getting exclusivity (or preventing it
)

looks good
have to say it looks poor.. they've gone in the wrong direction in feeding the slack jawed americans what they want.. looks way too much motorcross type rally in here, probably due to the endorsement of ken block, some retard who's pretending he's an actual rally driver.. physics engine looks abysmal especially when compared to games like grid.. graphics look unimproved from dirt..
IMO driving games are for driving, no for crashing and breakign stuff.. if you want to break stuff by some cheap crockery from IKEA..
Driving games are also not about graphics.. if you want photorealistic cars go to a car park .. there's like literally dozens of cars to look at.. wow!......
Whats most dissapointing about this game is that its a slap in the face to the memory of Colin Mcrea..
I can understand why people want fun motorcross type games.. but hey codemasters are already releasing fuel.. somethign that ticks all those boxes.. why make another game at the same time that has exactly the same sort of feel to it.. this game has nothign to do with rally or realism.. even the codemasters guy in the video says "its not a realistic game".... I just dont understand this .. theres clearly a market for realistic games .. forza and gran turismo show this, so why can't developers get their heads round this?
Realistic games dont have to be sterile.. i cant speak for grid because i havnt played the full game, but a realistic driving game combined with good graphics and a great physics engine surely would satisfy everyone... Once you've made a game realistic to drive you can easily add in options to tone it down for Americans or the mentally impared..

Graphics look good, though the handling and realism is a little disappointing. The way the game is presented reminds me of NFS prostreet, which royally sucked, and as the above said, it's giving the americans the rubbish they seem to ask for.
However, I was not expecting a sim. If I wanted a sim i'd be playing RBR. I've just been playing the original DiRT and really enjoying it (albeit with HDR off and finally fixing that annoying stuttering issue). It's a good pick up and play arcade game, so if you were expecting a hardcore sim you were looking for too much, the franchise codemasters have made of their rally games has changed the first CMR game, and there was no reason to expect that they wouldn't carry on in the direction it went, or has been going for many years.
Might well be worth a bash for less than £20, though does look like more of the same. Was hoping for a tad more depth, even if it was misplaced hope. There's an RBR-sized gap in the driving game market, i'm suprised nobody has jumped on the chance, especially the experts like SimBin or similar.

yeh i agree that its not meant to be a sim.. i enjoyed Dirt .. however they dont actually seemed to have made any progress over dirt.. the graphics look a bit better, but thats it.. and as you say theres nothing of any depth in there.. thats the problem with an arcadey game, there is no depth, and considering most of the tracks on Dirt were.. well dirty, motorcross type... when dirt 2 is more of the same you're left wandering whats the difference, and left rather bored...
From a developers point of view you really have to ask what the hell have they spent their time on? Dirt 2 looks less realistic than dirt 1 .. am i the only person who find that stupid?.. As i say there are games out there for plug and play, like fuel, and motorstorm, but we need a balance.. plug and play games dont neccesarily get more sales .. gran turismo and forza and priem examples of realistic games that appeal to the masses..
i was hopeing very hard that need for speed shift was going to be a gran turismo like realistic aesthetically pleasing game, btu from all ive seen it wont be any of those things.. Lets just hope once the market is over saturated with arcadey games people might ask for a bit more..
