Link please. I have watched SEVERAL videos on gametrailers and links from new4gamers.com on DIRT and all of them look incredible. The only problem Isee that DIRT might have is frame rate. Most Forza 2 screenshots and video look average at best. I'm sure the gameplay will be amazing but from what I've seen on videos I am disappointed with it. I guess later tonight or tomorrow we will all know for sure.

http://uk.media.xbox360.ign.com/media/826/826336/vids_1.html The Masterbit HD one. There's a bit early on where the car spins slightly and the back left corner clips a rock. As soon as he does the windscreen turns into a dark web of cracks, and I just laughed out loud. Whenever you touch anything with any part of your car the windscreen develops exactly the same cracks. That's enough to wreck it for me. -- Zo

So you won't enjoy a driving game because of how the windscreen cracks? Hmmm. To each their own I guess. Plus did you consider that it is off beta code, and that attention to detail may not have been refined yet?

I just find it hard to take seriously a game where physics should take precedence over all, yet even the most basic bits of damage are completely scripted. That should be the first thing they make, before they go getting pretty reflections and mud-spraying effects. It's out next month and not looking close to finished to me. -- Zo
