My pre-order now says 16th March.
ARRRRRGH, really do hope there wont be a patch released not long after I have the game, they have had plenty of time to tinker with it.

well better than a 9800 pro
Actually very surprised, though the specs would be more demanding. But my PC (see sig) which is over 2 years old now and laptop will run it. Little annoying about the delay, I just hope this is it...gonna see if i can get on a newsletter to check when it 'goes gold'.

Is a steering wheel necessary? I have a playstation style gamepad. Would I be at a big disadvantage? Never had problems with games like gran turismo and alike. G25 is quite expensive!

A pad is just fine. The game is more arcade than sim by a long way.

Well its an XBox 360 game so it was always gonna be sorta arcade. Plus it allows for us with no steering wheels to at least win a few races.

i have played and completed this game on the xbox 360 and i thought i would give some opinions for you pc users.
the game is VERY arcade styled
it is pretty terrible to play with a steering wheel
the motor bikes handle like penny farthings
all in all it is a very enjoyable game and i still play it regularally
you can't beat meeting someone at the bottom of the island and blasting 40 or 50 miles around with them
there is a new patch in the works that includes a big physics upgrade and a new "hardcore" mode which will utilize the new physics.
also there is meant to be full support for steering wheels and force feedback included in the patch. hopefully they will get that sorted asap.

Really looking forward to this, despite the slightly luke-warm reveiws - 80%ish - it looks very nice and appeals as a pick up and play sort of game, with out GTR's learning curve.
Shame about the lack of damage, as it removes a lot of tension when racing..but it does offer so much else I guess you can't have it all.
Roll on 16th.

Got mine on pre-order, it's only £20.49 delivered. I like the ability to play with others on-line but also the fact that you don't have to rely on other players to have a good time, unlike LFS where all it takes is one numpty to ruin a whole race.

Don't get me wrong, I love LFS, I think it's a great example of how a racing game should be done. TDU isn't a racing game though (although there is racing in it) so as far as I'm concerned there's no competition between the two.
