The 360 demo is pretty impressive, graphics are very nice. I want to see how the PC version is going to run though.

My PC will run the game famously no doubt

Hehe, tell me about it! Was definately all hands to the pump for everyone involved

Still at it then? He was down for the weekend and said he'd been lucky to escape getting drafted in, and would probably end up doing the Monday anyway.

I work for Codemasters as a Community Liaison Officer and we are hoping to have the PC demo ready for release tomorrow morning.

Apologies for the delay, but we had some technical issues with the demo which meant that we could not release it today.

2 lines of text that can save an entire thread of argument or abuse. Why can companies not just officially release info like this, would make everyone happier.

Hopefully it will be good to go tomorrow, the console gamers seems to like it, well from what I've read so far.

Looks better then dirt

Played it on the 360 today and I liked it, the handling is a bit weird and that'll be the same on every version but I'm really looking forward to seeing how this runs on my PC.

I wonder how he knows the PC Demo is crap.

I assume he means the game in general, the actual game is not really going to be different on the PC, is it?

But you knew that really and just wanted a chance to throw out some more rolleyes.

I've heard 30fps & the cars turn on there front bumper, Now I've heard it has the Dirt engine i am more than dissapointed.

It's a jazzed up DiRT engine, but you can tell that's where it's evolved from. Yes to the turning on the bumper, it's quite odd

Sure but a little more info would have been better.

Someone may have upped it on newsgroups before codemasters released it tomoz.

Played it on 360 earlier, the demo.

It plays really well. Like the drifting the best, really really arcadey, but will be amazing online I could imagine. Will pop back on it soon.

nooooo

handling on Drit was horrible, dread what worse than that would be like

helmutcheese · 8 May 2008 at 22:45

I hated D1RT (bad port IMO), aso ran bad for me on same hardware apart from a Crosshair and AM2 X2 6000+.

I prefered Sega Rally Revo, ran better also.

I refer judgement till I play demo.
