Colin McRae 2005 in September ??

Talk about milking the cow dry ! This must be a panic response to R.Burns, I guess. http://www.codemasters.co.uk/colinmcrae2005/news.php?id=398

"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" Mike http://mikebeauchamp.com "DapperDan" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Talk about milking the cow dry ! > This must be a panic response to R.Burns, I guess. > http://www.codemasters.co.uk/colinmcrae2005/news.php?id=398 > >

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).

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 ;-) -- Sean Black

Yeah, it used the pivot point. "magnulus" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:MoPLc.8020$[email hidden]... > Did Colin McRae 4 use the pivot point for the physics? I don't believeit > did.

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.

My fault.. I didn't know you were referring to Xbox. "Sean Black" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

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. Mike Beauchamp wrote in message ...
