i don't know what to make of this game so far, the first one wasn't that great. i guess i'll just wait for some reviews. this and grid suffer the same fate, they sound very promising at the start, and then fail to deliver. but then again, i'm a huge sim fan, and absolutely love the GT series.

this looks incredible onthe graphics department, dirt1 wasa decent game, grid is one of the more fun racers this gen, excellent game so I have high hopes for this one.

That's exactly how I feel about GRID and DIRT. They need to add some feeling of weight to the cars and ditch that damn central pivot crap to add a bit of camera swing when drifting through turns. Oh how I miss my Rallysport Challange 2...

I did love the part with the in car view with the dirt and water being splashed onto the windshield. I'll maintain some cautious optimism for this game just for that alone.

GT series is far from being good sim games. Good games yes, but not in simulation department.

Instead? That's just a stupid comment since Forza Motorsport is a Microsoft franchise while the Dirt series are developed by Codemasters...

Really looking forward to this game. I'm a little big worried that the game will be to diffrent from a "normal" rally game, but hopefully it's not. Graphic wise I think it will kick som serious ass, Codemasters really are masters when it comes to graphics..

Dirt 1 had brutal driving physics it felt really bizarre.

Unlikely that this one will be different, but one can hope.

Wow, graphics are excellent! Damn sexy cockpitview!

They should give their artists a raise, and fire the people responsible for the physics...seriously. It's really a shame that a game, that great looking, will be ruined by poor driving mechanics...

Imo DIRT looked great, but felt like shit.
I have nothing against arcade racer, but the cornering was just horrific.
Waste of gfx...

Hope this one becomes just a little more realistic

Like Prey and Bioshock are different stories (tracks) and with different weapons (cars) and such?
Does it matter? Prey still > Bioshock, and Forza > Dirt.

Things doesnt have to be carbon copies to make comparisons valid.
If someone wants to claim that Sasha Grey > Bill Clinton, its in their full right to do so.
