Sometimes I wish I was still a console fanboi..... actually, no I dont.
 
most euro places now should have there stock we have been shipping to them for the last week.
 
is this just on Disc? or will there be a digital download? cant find anything on codemasters that suggest a digital download unless ive missed it completley.
 
May pass on this, nothing good about a racing game when their motivating drive focuses on advertising the world you race in and the weather, the technology behind it rather than the actual point in the game, racing.

Amazing tech, but I don't get it, lots of room to race but you race on a set course otherwise it isn't a race at all? In the video most of the corners had chevron warnings :/
 
Complete freedom makes racing games worse imo. Burnout paradise was pushing the limit but this is way over the top. How can the game have a competitive edge if you are always racing different tracks? There is a reason games like grid and trackmania are so popular. Open world-ness is one of those things that developers are gradually working towards but in actually fact it's going to make games worse... like virtual reality (I want to sit down when I game tyvm).

complete freedom doesnt make a racing game worse, it just makes it different to linear racing games.

racing on a solid tarmac surface on a pre-defined track is great fun and yes i see your point, but if you diversify and move the vehicles to a terrain that has different surfaces you immediately altar the experience ...

racing on unpredictable tracks with jumps and drops can only make the experience one that is always different and a constant challenge and can work, but until we see a review or two or maybe a demo we wont know if its anygood.

regarding purchasing i dont know if its available to download yet, but i'll have a look around today.. shame its not on steam
 
i was going to get this on the 360 but i have been hearing that it had bad framerate problems :(
for me a racer with a bad framerate isnt worth playing so i hope the PC version is decent
 
Bought it for the PS3 last week, framerate problems in some races, bad AI, cheating AI at the beginning of a race, Freeroam not really needed or interesting.

There have been a few reviews that said the same, too bad really as I really liked the idea, my PS3 is YLOD now so maybe it gets a bit better with later vehicles but I can't play at the moment.
