2006-02-01 05:51:20 Full Auto Developer: Demo is from August build

Case in point: why release a demo in January that seems to bear little resemblance to the final product that's shipping in only a few weeks. Well, let's first get to the bottom of the mysterious code speculation: the OXM demo and the recently released Marketplace demo are indeed the same code, and given the fact that our development process forces us to branch demo code out from the main code base, you might consider August as the real origin of the final demo code. Although minor alterations were made to address feedback from Microsoft, the main code base continued to evolve while the demo code base remained locked so that it would remain stable.

This meant elements like our ongoing car handling, weapon tuning, HUD overhaul, front end enhancements, lighting tweaks, one touch replay system, pre-race presentation, etc. were not included in the demo. But since we're dealing with a new IP, it's essential that we pushed the demo out as early as possible to ensure that gamers got a good sense of the final game.


this is good. he further says that the final game code will have much better graphics, 60 FPS framerate and better physics.

where did you see a comment from cord about 60fps? I read everything and there is not once 60fps mentioned...

I bet the final game has slowdowns but i am buying it anyway... I love it.

It was obvious that thing wouldn't bare much resemblance to the final product.
