Looks fucking awesome

Apart from having car damage, it doesn't look any better than Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, and I - pretty much - know I'll like that, cause I like the Gran Turismo games.

That looked kinda cool, but seems to be more of a sim racer than an arcade racer. And the crashes seemed a bit floaty, from the little shown.

I couldn't help but notice at the end that next to the Games for Windows, XBox 360 Live, and Sony PlasyStation 3 logos was the... Nintendo DS logo?

yes, let's hope so. looks awesome.

problem with racing sims is the lack of online servers/racers, and the hilarious assumption that you'll get to enjoy a clean race

duals are best anyway.

oddly enough, most online Flatout races are clean

I crush emotions and cars in FlatOut 2 online...scared?..

BTW why does Codemasters pwn so hard? First DiRT, now this? Fookin' ahsum.

So true, unfortunately.

Not that I agree, but they made the Colin McCrae Rally games back on the PS1.

too bad it falls short of the definition of 'sim'

Well no shit, but they weren't anything special. Thanks for playing though.

They also did the Toca series.
I think this is the next in the series since in the second video it said Race Driver Grid.

duh!

ohh, lol

Lets hope controls are good. IF so, it'll piss all over GT/Forza

given their track record i'd be willing to bet the controls will be top notch. i spent hours on Dirt and still think that game is a high benchmark to overcome.

i honestly hope this isn't looking to compete in the GT/Forza market as those two games have it pretty much nailed down. i like the halfway point that codemasters has been able to achieve in the past between arcade and realistic racing.

I like how it includes F1 cars

And you're right about DiRT, it's a top-notch behemoth of a racing game. Tons of tracks and cars make it fun to play and the graphics are spectacular.

i almost picked up dirt this weekend 'cept reviews have said that there's quite a bit of slowdown? i tried the demo awhile back and noticed a little but was hoping that was ironed out in the release. comments?

also, hell yes F1 cars...we need a proper F1 sim for the 360 though. be nice if they included a couple of real tracks (begs for Spa)

I guess you're talking about the X360 version. There's no slowdown on the PC.

Also, I think Sony has had the F1 license for years now and they completely fubared it. Apparently it ends in 2009, so hopefully EA gets it back and puts out a proper multi-platform game. F1 Championship '99-'02 is a brilliant game, especially with the 1999-2005 season addons.

no, let's hope EA doesn't get it back and someone else will. their previous attempts at the franchise were paltry.

How about Codemasters then?

EDIT: Hold on a sec, Sony held the license from 2003 to 2007, that's why EA stopped after F1 2002. I guess the problem has been that no one's bothered to pick it up
