i really enjoyed the demo, good looking game and very smooth, muscle car race in San Francisco looks really good.

2008-05-08 21:26:13

awesome...downloading the demo now!

2008-05-08 21:36:48

This game is really really poor, handling is terrible!

2008-05-08 21:44:50

Just tried the demo, really didn't like it. Handling is just as unrealistic as DIRT's, just as much bloom and grey as DIRT as well. Another pass for me...

2008-05-08 21:49:28

Hey guys, can you put a replay video of San Francisco please ? =)

2008-05-08 21:56:42

Well it's not too bad other than the brown shade to everything. I know for a fact that sun does not give out brown rays.

only good thing i can say about the game is that the replay on the mustang race is freaking amazing. its like a car chase sequence from a movie. especially with the music. beyond that tho, graphics wernt great, OTT motion blur, and some of the worst controls for a racing game i've come across. that central pivot turning system is even more pronounced in this game then it was in DiRT.

After playing this demo, I went right back to GTA IV and have been enjoying driving in that game so much more.

Yeah, two entirely different games, and the physics in GTA are so over the top hollywood style...still...the handling makes much more sense than it does in this game. Probably the weirdest handling/physics I've ever seen in a videogame.

I never liked it either and i loved the last few toca's handling is awful. nothing like pgr4 or forza

2008-05-09 00:14:19

The art direction is nice but 30fps for a racing game..?! No thanks.

2008-05-09 00:33:22

if 360 is using 4aa at 720p res with locked 30 fps (no stutter, no tear) for something so complex as driving game, ATI guys were very much spot on 3 years ago

One side of me loves the whole presentation of the game, it is really well made. The other side of me is just disgusted by the gameplay and the physics most of all. The physics are the most redicoulus I've seen in a while. When you get out of the track you automaticaly spin 180°, when you hit someone from behind chances are you spin 180°. Also when you get hit from behind it doesn't affect you AT ALL, instead the car behind you spins 180°.

The gameplay has no upsides but being accessable. The steering has no feel to it, no feedback at all, way too arcady for me. The car feels like it's floating (no body roll or any body movement at all)

It's a real shame. When I loaded up the game I didn't expect that much to begin with, but it felt surprisingly fresh. They said they were heading for a mix of Sim/Arcade feel for the game but the game is just arcade, the sim elements just feel cosmetic. PGR had the best mix of Sim/Arcade in a racing game I've ever played. Whished they'd do the same but this is just disapointing.

BMW demo in Jarama - very disappointing, it was just, erm, floaty. But the street racing in SF was much, much better!

2008-05-09 07:09:22

I enjoyed the demo pretty much. But I've always been a fan of Codemasters racing games. Just disappointed that they dropped what they had with the Toca series. I also wish they'd get rid of the drifting.

2008-05-09 10:10:34

Most of you guys must be playing a different game to me because it looks great and handles really well,first racing game in ages where the cars really feel like they have some weight.
I really hated Dirt because it ran like crap and had loads of tearing but codemasters have redeemed themselves with this game

2008-05-09 10:45:55

San Fran for the win!

I loved that city in MSR (still play that quite alot, fiance prefers it to PGR 1!).

I will download this tonight and deliver thoughts.

2008-05-09 14:29:51

I liked this game. Car handling was a bit strange sometimes but overall I enjoyed this. I have to say that drifting was horrible but I never liked it in the Need for Speed series. Menus and replays are cool. I especially like how you can use triggers to control the speed of the replay. I liked to watch smoke in really slow motion :p

Great looking game that has absolutely nothing to do with RACING.

Motor-propelled bobsledding. Jebus.

But the 30fps, motion blur, 4x fsaa, gazillion cars on screen and great scenery are nice. Would make a great, erm, 70 euro tech demo for the graphics engine. You know, with some sort of quake-guy handling bolted on just like here.

I believe Codemasters were attempting to dethrone PGR but forgot it actually has entertaining handling, with four wheels on a car and all that jazz.

I loved it, is better than Pgr if you liked that series. If you want sim you already have gt5 and forza.
