Off Roading

Enjoy i certainly did cant wait for this :)

Edit: Does seem quite choppy and buggy have to say but i put that down to build they got quite early i guess.

2007-04-11 04:08:13

I don't know if it's the steering controls being a bit buggy still, or the guy just isn't very good. Who knows :P

Ye was abit dodgy alot of choppyness also but i guess thats the early build they have.

Offroading didnt look to bad but alot of popup.

It does look really stunning though from graphical standpoint.

2007-04-11 04:27:17

The graphics look incredible but the physics are awful!

2007-04-11 06:58:59

I noticed some popup of the grandstands on the offroad... framerate issues... looks kind of like they are at the polishing stage, and will get a lot of these kinks worked out. I have faith that they will have a pretty solid racer. My biggest complaint with these gametrailer vids in particular, is that on my PC, and streamed to my 360 using media center, they look very dark, and contrasty.

Too dark !!! but great anyway (grass is all around o*o) framerate and popup issues; perhaps little more dust in offroad.

The 'stop fooling arround' comment was pretty funny.. The person playing this obviously sucks at racinggames.. LOL!

The game looks cool, lets hope it has proper online MP (yes I keep saying that until it's clear it has or not)..

Just watched the vids, the graphics look rather sweet, but in both of them its very dark. I have no problems watching anything on my monitor so its defo not me. Other than that, assuming they work abit with the framerate, it looks pretty damn promising :)

2007-04-11 20:03:06

looks like they been removed maybe because of glitches. ?

2007-04-11 21:53:57

I went over to the codemasters forums for DIRT and complained about the vids being too dark.

Found them, you can download the HD vids here:

http://plnehry.sector.sk/video/3908/colin_mcrae__d...

Just select a vid on the right of the screen (the top two are the HD gameplay vids in question), and press the 'Stiahnut' link to go to the download page. Then you press the 'kliknite sem' link to start the download...

I don't know what to think. The graphics are really great but the physics look kind of weird. They should release some better videos because:

a) The camera they were using sucks! Too static, it tries to follow the car around every corner, makes the physics look really bad and makes the car look like a remote controlled one.

b) The physics looked WEIRD! And they didn't show the in-car camera.

c) The one driving sucks ass.

Where the crap is Shenmue 3 SEGA? Scrap that thing called Shenmue online and finish the Shenmue epic story on 360!

The still graphics look great, but like most Codemaster games it looks a little rough around the gameplay edges. Needs some work but looks like a promising start. Better than I expected.

Wishlist: PGR4 with a FF wheel, 2K Legends Football, and Halo 3 with an XFPS controller. And I can dream that Halo Wars will be a Battlezone PC clone...

Here's a thought RFT... if you know this is a problem, why not send gametrailers an updated gameplay footage that I'm sure is using a newer version of the engine, or send them the same footage, just color calibrated this time to not be so dark...

Seems a bit obvious to me...

We can't just (sadly) spin off videos at the drop of a hat every time some website does somethgn with a preview disc they aren't supposed to. we did not produce or endorse these videos, gametrailers did.

Quote:
The first video gameplay exposure to the general public you get out there in front of people and it leaves this as an impression...

yeah, which is why we didn;t want videos taken from that old code - the game at that stage still wasn;t reliably running to speed, for one thing.

Quote:
Fans had to come on this forum, and get the official response... uh, we don't know what is up, but yeah its dark...


Not being privy to how GT process thier videos, we don't know why they're dark. we merely know that they're darker than they should be. again I reiterate these are not official videos.

Quote:
This needs to be solved. Not a good PR move.

Here is an extra idea I'll throw in for free... put some gameplay vids on the official website! Game is going to be out in 6 weeks or so?... counting...

well yes, we'll be doing gameplay videos along those lines as soon as we can.

2007-04-12 18:13:22

Cool, hopefully it is improved and the pop-in is gone.

Yeah, booo!


My downloaded was canceled too :( I'm guessing they asked them to remove the video off the site, like they did with the Game Trailer vids
