Just gave the drifting event a try, holy shit I'm impressed. Framerate is very smooth, and I'm really liking the gameplay so far.
I'll be doing some videos when I'm back home in a couple hours, but so far it looks like we have a winner :)

It looks very very nice in motion too. And the fact that it's very smooth 30 fps (at least in the Yokohama event) helps a lot too. Smoke effects are excellent too.

holy shit, the San Francisco track is my favorite so far. I got to first place, was just about to take a turn when all the other cars crashed right into my car.

You are bad man :mad:

Anyway, back on topic, for people who has played it, does it look and play better than DiRT? I wasn't a big fan of DiRT's over done HDR and bloom, although I was very fond of it's vegetation.

I'll put some 720p images online in around 30 min, when the download is completed. Depending on when Blim is home, I'll do some videos too in an hour or so.

Here are the images. I recently got new capture hardware, so I'm not sure I got the best quality out of these images. Anyway, don't mind the jaggies - it looks great in motion.

Someone praised the San Fransisco course, so I used that one:

I haven't played it much, but I was surprised how well the drifting works. I like it much more than how NFS did it.

Me too.
I rilly, rilly, want to know if the grass has a strong high res texture or if it just looks like sprites.

Some impressions:

Positive:

- The replay mode looks really nice and the rewind feature is a good addition
- Framerate is smooth
- The damage model is pretty detailed
- The KI is really realistic and often drives besides the racing line
- Xbox Live Multiplayer works great and w/o lag
- You can choose your name at the beginning and the commentator uses it in the race :D


Negative:

- The cockpit view looks strange because of the jerky steering animation
- Handling and drifting seem a little odd to me. Kinda like NFS... ah I don't know. Maybe I set the diffictulty to expert and try my luck. Breaking and handling assists were off.

The stills from the San Fran race look alright, but nothing spectacular. The other 2 courses look much better, and the smoke looks ace!
