[Algor]

This game is badass. Not even a fan of racing games, but I love it.

That's the thing yeah, not a fan either and still this title is sort of a must have.

Was jsut watching some trailers for it, looks REALLY cool. Then it goes inside the cockpit with the driver and... oh dear. It looks like their budget ran out when it came to modelling and animating the driver

The driver looks fine At least Dirt has shifting animations (NFS Shift) and windshields in the cockpits (Forza) Plus the driver bounces around while driving and the co-driver does too, i actually think they're animated well. If you play Forza 3 and look at the drivers in their cars they are sat rigid and bolt upright, no animations at all really

That was part of the aim i think, mass market appeal and accessibility, which i think it does really well. My brother loves it and he's never played a racing game before. Games like Forza are great if you love your car porn, but for the full on racing package and just the pure fun aspect of it all, Dirt does really well

I realise i sound like i work in promotions by the way but i don't see anything wrong with actually liking a title i worked on I'd have enjoyed this game even if i had nothing to do with it, as i did with Dirt 1

While this is true my point was more in the fact that the rest of the game looks fabzy while the driver doesnt look all that great, even if you don't see him much. But you don't really see much in a racing game at the speed you travel, do you? And that all still manages to look good.

PC Demo?

NFS:Shift demo was ok, was expecting more CRASH though when battering objects. Even on high its pretty clean and no dust/debris

[PaulH]

PC demo will be out nearer the time of the PC release, i.e. Nov/Dec, they are working on incorporating DX11 into it at the mo

[Bic-B@ll]

k, im hijacking my roommates xbox tomorrow and getting the demo

[Erratic]

Dirt 2 is the best driving game with the worst presentation style ever. The menu system is really neat, but goddam if I have to hear Dave Mirra tell me how awesome a dude I am and how whicked my last lap was I'm gonna kill some body.

[Defrag]

If the menu system is anything like GRID, then I'd probably strangle someone, too. Really, really cool and slick, but so so very grating after about 3 minutes of it.

[Mazy]

I totally love the menu system in both DiRT games and GRiD, but each to their own I guess
