Talk about milking the cow dry !
This must be a panic response to R.Burns, I guess.

"quick boys, re-release CMR3 for the third time and make sure the press
releases stress the fact that the physics are good in the game and don't use
the single pivot point system that we use"

  Did Colin McRae 4 use the pivot point for the physics?  I don't believe it
did.  It seemed to me cars wouldn't drift right through a turn quite so
easily like they did with previous games.

I look forward to Richard Burns Rally, I just hope it's not really difficult
like Rally Trophy (I'm not talking about the physics, which I thought were
fine... I'm talking about the clock times, which were more than a little
brutal).

It's easy on easy....very difficult on higher difficulty levels though as
you'd expect.

I'll second that. It's very hard to start with (especially with a
gamepad) but once you get the hang of it, the easy level is easy, if you
turn the damage off of course ;-).

I can win most of the rally's on easy with damage switched off, without
too much trouble, and I wouldn't consider myself an expert driver by any
means.

Haven't tried any of the harder settings yet, I want to get the hang of
easy with damage first, so it could be a while yet ;-)

Which was a panic response to CMR 3.

Try putting the car in reverse while turning and you can see something just
aint right.

Yeah, it used the pivot point.

Game pad?? Cmon now :)

Rally Trophy was easy once ya got the hang of it all. The hardest car being
that little Fiat on expert. It seemed really top heavy, so if you jumped it,
it was hard to land, which sometimes resulted in going completely off after
a jump and then damaging the car really badly.

Or like, try watching a replay...

It's such a shame, CMR's graphics are great, it runs great on my PC the
stages I think are well done as well. But, once it gets to that replay, it's
the worst thing I've ever seen.

Not much choice on Xbox :-(

Can't wait for it to come out on PC, so I can drive it properly, with
wheel & pedals.

My fault.. I didn't know you were referring to Xbox.

  Well, what should happen (vs. what happens in CMR 4)?

  I usually race with automatic.  I haven't noticed anything unusual about
reversing. But maybe it's only something you see with manual.

Driving the car doesn't feel like it looks on the replays.

Driving the cars feels real & natural whilst the replays look simplified.
