Yeah i thought that screen looked kinda f'd up

[VG Aficionado]

LOL, it had to be CVG. How can they suck so much?

[Fats]

Why would they shop it to look so bad though? Strange.

Oh Motorstorm.....

[GTAce]

Looks great but i dont understand your "Oh Motorstorm" thing.
It looks "blank" and i cant see any track deforming or dozents of car parts that flying through the air.

Btw. no pis over 800x600 resolution please.

[Grovestreet]

Im basically saying Motorstorm has some competition.

[GTAce]

Ok thats right it just came a little bit harsh. ;)
Im really looking forward to it.

[VG Aficionado]

The environments are utter crap compared to MotorStorm's. No different kinds of vehicles in the same race at once, but that's expected. The cars look good, but at the expense of the environments. It doesn't look like the physics could be anything special though.

Anyway, MotorStorm is a first generation title, and it doesn't look inferior to that.

[Grovestreet]

If you have played the Colin Mcrae games you will know that the series has always had Awesome physics, Some of the best Physics in any game last gen infact.

[jaxmkii]

Im basically saying Motorstorm has some competition.
ehhh not so much... i love how clean the tyers look while driving in dirt...

[GTAce]

If you have played the Colin Mcrae games you will know that the series has always had Awesome physics, Some of the best Physics in any game last gen infact.

NO!
Maybe back on PS1 yes, but the physics from for example CMR 3 are crap and i know it i own this game.
You have one virtual axe where the car is moving around.
The CMR's after that have better physics but nothing special.

[jaxmkii]

If you have played the Colin Mcrae games you will know that the series has always had Awesome physics, Some of the best Physics in any game last gen infact.

yea i have owned MC games and i will be the first to say you get UNREALISTIC levels of traction on dirt. its like a F1 car on warm pavement.

[Grovestreet]

I dont understand...I thought PS3 was the main platform for DIRT?
Burbank, CA – Wednesday, March 21, 2007 – Codemasters today confirmed DIRT as the official title for the next addition to the UK-based publisher’s popular Colin McRae racing series. Further, the company also revealed that DIRT will now add races from the U.S.-based C.O.R.R. (Championship Off-Road Racing) series to its already heady mix of Rally, Hill Climb, Rally Raid, Rally Cross and Crossover events. DIRT is planned to launch this June for the Xbox™ 360 videogame and entertainment system from Microsoft and the PC, with the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system edition following shortly thereafter. The game is currently rated “RP” (Rating Pending) by the ESRB.

Somebody obvioslu doesn't have a clue about rallying or has never seen a WRC event.

[GTAce]

Cliffbo look at the top of the page. ;)

[jaxmkii]

yes cause in real rally cars rearely see each other.

still i want to see someone do a paris Dakar rally from start to finish. but that will never happen as it would probly require a 200gig 8 layer BRD and 30 dvds for 360

[GTAce]

There are WRC style races in DIRT, the pics above with the Xsaras for example are rally cross pics.
And in rally cross you see each other for the most time. ;)

[NeoPlayStation]

If you have played the Colin Mcrae games you will know that the series has always had Awesome physics, Some of the best Physics in any game last gen infact.

WRC games has better physics than Colin Mcrae. And WRC games are made by Evolution Studios. And Evolution Studios is the softhouse behind MotorStorm. So...

[cliffbo]

Cliffbo look at the top of the page. ;)

wooooooooopsydaisy!

[VG Aficionado]

Somebody obvioslu doesn't have a clue about rallying or has never seen a WRC event.More like somebody obviously didn't even read what I posted. When I said there weren't different kinds of cars on the screen (and I said "but that's expected"), not only I meant that in some cases all the cars were the same, but even when they were different, they were still the same category of cars, which makes comparisons to MotorStorm pointless.

[Nameless]

I really need to see a later build of the game in motion before I make any comparisons to Motorstorm. At this stage of development it looks impressive IMO; compared to Motorstorm not so much... Only time will tell.

[Insane Metal]

LOLOLOLOLOLOL :lol:

So all we´ve seen so far were bullshots :lol:

The game doesn´t look better than MS, no way ! Look at the wheels, they got a flat texture, motorstorm looks miles ahead... the lighting is also better...

Yeah I know they´re different games but graphically speaking, MS is better.

[FoeHammer]

The first one was totally better. All those other games aren't good, and the graphics suck. Let's take it back to the original, you guys.

[Fats]

Yeah, there's no denying, a lot of shots we've seen before hand were superb looking. I'm now leaning more towards "meh", but all in all, I'll still keep my eye on this title.

[curryking1]

I just have to agree.

I'm going to third that. I mean.... it went from something that looked a bit like CG.. to something that looks quite honestly like a PC game from 2 or 3 years ago. That's not good. Eh, was never really interested in it anyways as a game either lol.

[Red_Eyes]

What chu all talking about?
Those pictures are awesome!

First: "It can't be real-time. It look too good."
And now that it is confirm to be real-time: "Looks like crap."
What sup with that? You people are just a bunch of downers.

[Fats]

Yeah, they're awesome.

But they're not Frikkin' awesome.

[Red_Eyes]

But before it was confirm to be real-time, they were "too Fikkin' awesome to be real-time. They gotta be CGI."

[Grovestreet]

Check out the new DIRT Site, It rules. Click the 'Unlock Here' Thing on the left side at the bottom, You can see a realtime Replay of a car going round this...Small track...Sorta thing. And there is one or two new Screens aswell. Very nice Car models.

[Grovestreet]

Yeah nice render.

CGI Worked for Motorstorm...

Anyway Codemasters have always been good in the graphical department, Although it isn't realtime ofcourse, I still think it could be using some Ingame Assets.

[Fats]

I didn't hear him say otherwise Grove.

It's a great trailer none-the-less, I'm sure this will be a decent racer when it comes out. It looks like they're certainly trying to differentiate from previous Colin McCrae installments anyway.

[GTAce]

I really like this Pikes Peak style thing.
I love hillclimbing i really hope we will see some hillclimb style tracks in GT5, these races gives you TEH special thrill. 8)

Aye, and tommorow there is a new Ingame trailer coming out :)

[Grovestreet]

Codemaster's upcoming instalment in the long-running and exceedingly popular Colin McRae series isn't just the best-looking rally game we've seen, it's one of the best-looking next generation titles, period. This week we've been lucky enough to go hands-on with Colin McRae: DIRT and were immediately blown away by the impressive visuals, superb handling and high-speed rally racing. Clearly Codemasters has had its best development team locked up in a garage for several years with only programming tools for company, if the impressive results we've seen so far are anything to go by.

http://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/image/article/776/776484/dirt-20070328082812890-000.jpg

For those that haven't been following the progress of DIRT - more fool you - it's the latest rally game featuring Scotland's favourite off-road racer. After successful appearances on previous generation consoles, Codemasters has invested plenty of time and effort into this latest iteration, even building its own game engine (called Neon) especially for DIRT. It's also the first Colin McRae to feature Hill Climb events and Rally Raid competitions. So far, so good… but we were interested to see if DIRT could live up to our high expectations.

Luckily, from the moment we fired up the preview build of the game, we were amazed by how slick everything felt. Even the menus have a level of polish we weren't expecting. As you select the race you want to take part in, options fly around like someone's been watching that bit with the futuristic computer in Minority Report too much. The impressive menus continue as you're waiting for a track to load. Rather than a simple loading bar, stats flash up on the screen showing how many miles you've covered, how many times you've travelled on just two wheels and other fascinating, if superfluous, information. For once we were quite happy for the game to take its time loading up.

http://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/image/article/776/776484/dirt-20070328082810672-000.jpg

Truthfully, we would have settled for a kitten in a bucket during loading, given how good the actual game is. Our first challenge was a Hill Race on Pikes Peak - a location immediately recognisable to American rally fans - and we were instantly impressed by the astounding level of detail Codemasters has packed into the course. Everything from mountains to houses, or even port-a-loos, are in exactly the right place compared to their real-life counterparts. Other nice touches include crowds lining the edge of the track that, unlike Gran Turismo HD Concept, actually respond when your car slams into the barrier in front of them.

Unfortunately our car slammed into the barriers a little more often than we would like. That's because - compared to most modern racers - McRae pulls no punches when it comes to difficulty. Part of the game's charm is pushing your driving skills to the limit by braking at the last moment and hopefully skidding round the corner ready to fly straight towards the next one. Those worried that Codemasters may have tweaked the difficulty to sit more comfortably alongside the likes of Need for Speed fret not - DIRT is still a tough but enjoyable challenge demanding you find the perfect racing line to succeed, just like previous McRae ventures.

http://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/image/article/776/776484/dirt-20070328082805968-000.jpg

Ridge Racer fans expecting to drift round bends at 180mph are in for a rude awakening. Instead, decent lap times require that you hone your driving skills and learn when best to brake hard before slamming down the accelerator and powering out of a bend. Thankfully, tight controls mean that easing off the gas slightly when braking round a bend or squeezing pedal to metal on open ground feels extremely natural.

Although crashes were a regular occurence for us initially, there was a silver lining in so far as each smash helped demonstrate DIRT's incredible damage engine. Slight knocks against objects dint and scratch the paintwork of each car, whereas a full head-on collision with a tree can crumple the bonnet like an accordion. Icons on the right-hand side of the screen show how much damage each section of your car has endured - with red indicating your car is basically about to fall to bits.

That said, cars can take quite a lot of damage to peripheral elements, like the bodywork. At one point we even managed to stay road-bound on three wheels briefly before tumbling off the track and smacking into a tree. However, damage affects the performance of your car, so it's inadvisable to keep whacking into things at 100mph. Still, it's great fun watching race replays, trying to pinpoint when you lost your wing mirror or your gearbox started crumbling after one too many collisions.

Vehicles get dirty as mud and dust is thrown up from the tracks.
There've been a few complaints across internet forums about the fact that DIRT only runs in 30 frames per second. To be honest, it's hardly noticeable when you're hurtling round a hairpin bend trying desperately to beat your best time. DIRT isn't choppy at 30FPS it certainly didn't ruin our experience of the game. Of course, the pay-off is that the game looks so damn awesome. After reaching the heavens with some of our favourite ever videogame clouds in Heatseeker, Codemasters has brought things back down to earth with the most realistic road surfaces we've seen in a game. Thundering along in first-person view - where you're hanging perilously close to the tarmac - is an intensely thrilling experience and the sense of speed is almost unparalleled.

DIRT is definitely shaping up to be a truly next generation racing game, which looks great and plays brilliantly too. Its June release for Xbox 360 and PC - with a PS3 version following soon after - can't come quick enough for us.

[Max@GC]

wow really nice graphics on that shots...i like the forest scene on grovestreets second screen...reminds me a bit of oblivion...i´ve always loved the cmr engines because of their realistic lighting.

the new trailer reminds me of the touched up one that was shown for motorstorm. i think in a gameplay video the textures won´t look that sharp.

What? are you saying Codemasters copied off Motorstorm? If you are then you are wrong...

[VG Aficionado]

It's absolutely nothing like MotorStorm.

[Grovestreet]

It's absolutely nothing like MotorStorm.

Apart from them both being Off-road racers your right, no more comparing.

[VG Aficionado]

Well, to be honest, Dirt is much more on-road than MotorStorm, as far as I can see :-p There aren't any roads at all in MotorStorm, there isn't even a main path in the tracks. Then again, MS has pretty much nothing to do with rallies.

[section]

Nobody can't copy anything if their game has been in development for probably as long or even longer than their competition, in this case MotorStorm. It just to my eyes happens, according to the videos, remind the aforementioned gaming title a lot; partly offroad racing with very varied vehicle classes. Why on earth would it title dirt otherwise?

But so does Big Red Racing, and that's an old game. It still doesn't take away the fact that the games remind each other.

Dirt will be compared to MotorStorm, regardless of whatever you say at the moment. It will remain to be seen whether it's a better received title or not.

Hopefully the dreadful Colin's traditional super arcade steer feeling has changed a lot.

[satriales]

I love the grass it actually looks like grass which is very rare in a game.
I've always enjoyed the Colin McRae games and I'm sure I'll be getting this one.

[VG Aficionado]

If by "realistic" you mean "empty and blurry"... well, yes.

[NickSCFC]

I'm talking about the use of colour, you could easily mistake it for a photograph, no other 3D game can do that right now!

Funny how you've not had one good thing to say about this game since it was announced as multiformat...

bias at its worst!

[VG Aficionado]

Post an image then!

Funny how you've not had one good thing to say about this game since it was announced as multiformat...

bias at its worst!It was never a PS3 exclusive game and I've never been a fan of the series, so I'm afraid you're totally wrong.

And regarding the screenshots, I have a few in mind, but I'm sure you totally missed the latest GTHD threads. I'm also thinking of a real time pre-alpha PS3 game build with a sharp close-up of a girl's face (I won't reveal the title of the game yet) which is far more meritory than a wide shot of a blurry car and empty environment.

[Grovestreet]

GTHD only has 2-D Backgrounds, the mountains for example...The cars are the only decent looking thing on it.

And if your not interested in the series...Why the heck did you come on this topic anyway?

[Fats]

Are you just assuming that's the way it's going to stay Grove, or do you realise that GT5 has at least another year of development?

[VG Aficionado]

GTHD only has 2-D Backgrounds, the mountains for example...The cars are the only decent looking thing on it.You obviously never saw the TGS presentation where a helicopter flies over the mountains.

And if your not interested in the series...Why the heck did you come on this topic anyway?To see if I get myself interested? Because I'm curious? Because I want to be up to date?

[Grovestreet]

DiRT has more development time aswell Fats, so Just give it a chance VG...If you can, and the Colin Mcrae series has been out for years, had enough time to get interested yet?

[VG Aficionado]

2D backgrounds = you need to look again.

[Grovestreet]

Wait...wait....Why the hell did you start comparing GTHD to DiRT in the first place?
GTHD should look better anyway, it doesn't need to render any 'Damage' the only thing the cars do on GTHD is bounce off barriers without a scratch. DiRT has awesome damage physics and still manages to have graphics as good if not better than most racing games out at this point...

[Fats]

Looks fairly solid to me. If this background doesn't look "3-D" then I'm not quite sure what does.

http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2006/264/928379_20060922_screen001.jpg

DiRT has awesome damage physics and still manages to have graphics as good if not better than most racing games out at this point...Nobody's saying Dirt sucks or that it should be directly comparable to GTHD, but what you're saying here is wrong. GTHD is, currently, a pre-alpha build of a game that is at least a year from being released, so how surprising is it that it doesn't seem like a full upgrade from GT4 yet? Yamauchi has said that the series will now feature crash damage, weather effects and day/night cycle in the final version, which we'll see later on. The interesting thing is that GT5 will still run at twice the resolution and framerate than Dirt will.

By the way, I just checked the TGS presentation and the mountains are 3D indeed. As you observe the helicopter flying by, you can appreciate the mountain rotating in 3D. Feel free to check the link in the TGS video thread :)

Made your point about 3D Mountains, But why do you keep saying GT5? That isn't coming out until 2008....is it?

At least, we'll get more free GTHD Concept downloadable demos to soothen the wait, or that's what they said.

Nick, take a look at the pic GTAce just posted :) And there are more of them in previous threads that deceive the eyes, I tell you ;)

Alright no more comparing GTAce, Its doing my skull in.... Lets just...Enjoy the games Instead of comparing them all the time.

I just want to post my opinion i dont compare it directly, this is impossible.
These games are to different.^^

[VG Aficionado]

You mean rain? Nah that wasn't quite up to the realism of that pic.Of that pic? It was a screenshot extracted from the video, so yes, it was to the same extent and in the same way that Dirt doesn't look realistic all the time. And considering the developers said that was the result of 3 months of work, that's far more meritory than a blurry screenshot of a nearly finished game.

Funny how you don't say anything about the pic GTAce posted, by the way.

That's true, but any gameplay clips didn't last long, and I'd like to see just straight-up gameplay for a longer period of time.

[CrumCon]

deff. looks better then MotorStorm.

Evo should works harder on MotorStorm 2

Motorstorm 2 will own DiRT....But the next Colin Mcrae Could own Motorstorm 2 :p

Who knows...

[mario25]

Crumcon is only doing the only thing he does here....being negative about everything playstation related. (of course Dirt is coming to the 360)

I DO OWN motorstorm and DIRT doesn't look any better, it looks good of course but not as good some here want to believe it looks

[Nodieza]

This game looks stunning, rally racing is just awesome, definitely going to check this game out some more.

[rob the slob]

Whoa! Those are the best enviroments ever in a racing game!

I agree that the cars look great in GT:HD. Unfortunately its the only impressive thing so far.

[Fredag]

The cockpit looks ok. Not as in the CG, but still very nice...

HD both of them


My impressions down



















Motorstorm shits on that. Really, watch it and you´ll agree with me.

[acousticvan]

Motorstorm owns that. Racing at 15fps is no f*cking way.

[frosty]

that second clip gives GT:HD a run for it's money. The scale isn't as large from what I have seen, but it does look better. It's apples to oranges anyway, 2 different game types.

[Siraris]

Sorry insane, but that looks better than motorstorm. A LOT better? I dunno, but noticeably. Granted, there's a lot of pop-in going on, and the video is dark as shit, but the grounds look much nicer, the cars look gorgeous, colors look more vibrant, I think the lighting looks slightly better (although hard to tell).

Regardless, they are both gorgeous games. Colin McCrae also has had more time. I think Motorstorm 2 will look a LOT better than this.

[Nameless]

It's not exactly fair or accurate to compare a work in progress to a completed title... Personally I thought the footage was impressive considering the game is still under development. The lighting was well done and the overall graphics were solid. The frame rate & popup issues need to be addressed, but I'm sure they are working to optimize the engine. Also, it looked like the 360 version in the trailers, but I could be wrong... I would have liked to see the first person mode, but overall the game did not really look fun IMO. I'm not really into rally racing, but the vibe of Motorstorm caught my attention, because of the arcade gameplay and focus on crashes and insane jumps. I still think the comparisons are not accurate, because Dirt is a simulator and Motorstorm is arcade action, both games can coexist IMO.

[section]

Let's make a couple of things clear: neither Colin McRae rally or TOCA Race Driver series are simulations. Fun games nevertheless but both are seriously on the arcade side.

[dockthepod]

Looks very nice. Maybe a little overboard on the tonemapping, but looks sharp. The gameplay is really hard to judge though. That subaru looked like it was skating on ice. Also, the driver was absolute shit! :jonsass: I'd like to see an in car camera video.

[Smokey]

not if you play Toca/V8s on PROSIM theyre not arcadey. v8s 2/toca was harder than v8s/toca3 though... and i gotta say i found GT4 alot more arcadey than V8s/Toca

[NickSCFC]

Man I hope they get rid of the yank accent, saying that when I've played the past games I've always selected English for my driver, so I guess you get the accent/language for your driver's nationality.

so true

[Nameless]

Honestly I don't think people really understand that HD can look significantly different based on displays. A HD set will always look better than SD, but higher quality HD displays look better than low end displays.
(It's kind of a no brainer when you really think about it...)

My brother has a 1080P display and Motorstorm looks amazing on his display; I have 720P/1080i and Motorstorm looks impressive, but it's not the same.
As a result I will be recieving my new 1080P display tomorrow! ;)

I can fake pics in photoshop even with a little HUD thing in a corner lol.
Show me a in-game video with this graphics and at least 30fps and then i say it looks good.

The damage on DiRT is so fu*king realistic and awesome...I'm in love with this:banana:

[Rip3001]

"Rally" games DO NOT equal "Off-Road Carnage" games (yes, that's a genre now.)

Looks great, Sony and Codemasters really busted thier butts on this engine. I think the crashes look alot better occuring in realtime rather than slomo personally. When's this coming out again?

[GTAce]

The only thing that interests me in this game is the hillclimb stuff.

The physics looking strange in the videos, like the cars would drive on ice or something and the cockpit view sucks imo.
The head from the driver dont move etc.

But ok i may give it a rent.

[Segitz]

I would want to see a good cockpit view, with Sixaxis "view" (move the sixaxis to look around you), but switchable with a button!

[Nerve-Damage]

The first original screenshots on the first page of this thread looked better.

[Grovestreet]

Damage Physics Video! (http://www.gametrailers.com/umwatcher.php?id=58786)

Holy sh*t!!!

[GTAce]

Yey not bad and its pretty impressive with the parts from the suspension etc.
But it still looks shitty how the car turns throug corners or how direct it reacts.

[VG Aficionado]

Not so amazing. And I don't see the crowd reacting to the car crash like they said.

It does look good though.

[Smokey]

how many cars do you actually get on sceern at once

[user friendly]

Crash Videos (http://ps3.ign.com/articles/786/786249p1.html)

Scroll down, hopefully they arent too old. Looks prety good, I just hope they dont slo mo the crashes in the final version like in Motorstorm, I hate that.

[dnpmakkah]

I've been watching some of the videos of Dirt and I must say the game doesn't look overly fast. I remember a ton of people complaining about the speed of Motorstorm yet when I look at this game it too looks slow.

In my opinion Motorstorms speed was just right especially given how hectic the AI was. Dirt seems to be a bit slower yet I'm not hearing the same complaints. Am I alone in thinking this or does anyone else agree?

[Leedogg]

Preview of Dirt!!!!!!!!!!!

[dnpmakkah]

Preview of Dirt!!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.gametrailers.com/gamepage.php?id=4609I saw that and it actually looks better than I first thought. The game looks good and there seems to be a ton of extras with various gameplay modes. The only fault I see it having is that you are limited to tracks and not open roads.

[SleazyBig slim]

Motorstorm looks alot better, better looking crashes too.

[Fazares]

i hate cg renders...and yes....ms looks better than this....:-/

[OmniCloud]

I thought this was a MS type game, but it's like rally simulation...

BOOOOO not impressed....

Dirt looks a little really, but it moves way to clunky!!!

I could never go back to simulation after playing MS

I TOLD YOU IT LOOKS better then MS!!!!

now +rep me!!!

[OmniCloud]

I TOLD YOU IT LOOKS better then MS!!!!

now +rep me!!!Some parts of it look better...it's coming out after MS so it should certainly look better.

But the gameplay-which is what matters is bland as hell compared to MS. This seems like a simulation more than anything, which is why I think many users gave it a thumbs down.

Pretty doesn't automatically equal a better game....

[Fats]

I TOLD YOU IT LOOKS better then MS!!!!

now +rep me!!!

Oh, by all means.

[casualkiss]

After playing the demo on the 360, I can say it is a definately a "meh". Nice frame-rate and lots of view choices, but nothing to write home about.

[GTAce]

Oops and theres just on greean square now.....

I whish i could play DIRT myself atm to judge it gameplay wise too.
Hope that they make a Demo for PSN as well.

[LaLiLuLeLo]

[yoshaw]

^lol ... ok crum, I'll think about it tomorrow.



.... maybe :P

[Cyrus]

The game doesnt look nearly as good as those pics suggest. Off-screen captures always make games look better than they really are.

It does look good but just doesnt have any "WOW this looks good" moments. It's just pretty but nothing special. The gameplay itself is very arcade but I kinda like it, might buy it.

[woundingchaney]

I think the game looks very similar to those pics. As far as does it look better than MS; the games while sharing the basic concept of driving they are very different visually. If anything I think MS still has the "Wow" factor.

[Cyrus]

I think the game looks very similar to those pics.

Yeah but the lighting for example looks a LOT better in those pics, it looks a lot more subtle and realistic when in the game itself it covers almost everything under it. The pics are also smoother than the real thing although the game is very smooth even when playing it. Somehow the graphics are a tad messy (like they are all over the place.. cant describe it clearly what I mean) IMO, would be very nice if everything looked as balanced and smooth as those screens.

I'm not saying it's an ugly game, nowhere close to ugly, but I just didnt find it anything that special. The grass, some of the physics and the lighting even though overdone are the best parts of its looks.

[tolkyn]

tried the PC version and I'm really flabberghasted by its graphics! Codemasters is using an FPS-adapted version of the Neon engine for Operation Flashpoint 2, which is looking fantastic as well in this pic

[NickSCFC]

Played the demo today and for the first time in a LONG time I'm impressed by a video game!

FINALLY, yes, FINALLY we have photo-realistic graphics. The hill climb is absolutely breathtaking, it's not just the textures or anything like we usually have, it's the colour, the lighting it's just all so perfect.

Damage, excellent, it's raised the bar for damage in a car game, SO realistice.

Menu's, gorgeous, the icing on the cake. Everybody else has alot of catching up to do, Codemasters just raised the bar.

And how do you compared it to MotorStorm?
After watching the videos, i can agree with the other folks, that MS really has more of the WOW factor. But could tell us more about it.

[NickSCFC]

I only played Motorstorm once and I was really impressed by the graphics. I don't think it looks as real as Colin McRae though, the textures in MS are a little blurry, the colour and smoothness was very good though.

[Grovestreet]

I just want to know what the final frame rate of this game will be. The earlier footage looks like it was running slower than 30 fps.

The demo framerate is smooth as butter, I never had one bit of letdown.

And I had a mess about crashing into barriers and wrecking my car, and wow, the barrier kind of bends round your car if you hit it hard enough, the attention to detail is amazing.

[NickSCFC]

Love it when u crash into a tyre barrier and the tyres bounce and roll around, best physics I've seen since Half Life 2!

And do you mind if I add you as a friend on Live?

Btw, ever heard of 'Hartlepool'? a town not to far away from stoke-on-trent.

[NickSCFC]

Yeah no probs, isn't Hartlepool nearer to Newcastle?

I heard you once hung a chimp found on a boat because you lot thought it was a foreign invader :P

[Grovestreet]

Yeah no probs, isn't Hartlepool nearer to Newcastle?

I heard you once hung a chimp found on a boat because you lot thought it was a foreign invader :P

Haha, yeah it was a monkey and was supposed to have happened years ago, apparently we didn't know what the hell it was, so they hung it thinking it was a foreigner, because at that time The british were at war with the french, no one knows if it is true or not, its all just rumor, thats why our nickname is 'Monkey hangers' :p

And yes it is near Newcastle.

[NickSCFC]

In more fortunate areas of Britain we have zoos and television, so we know quite alot about monkeys ;)

The music is kickass, I love listening to it.
