Codemasters Releases Colin McRae: DIRT Xbox 360/PC Demo

Codemasters released today the Colin McRae: DIRT playable demos for the Xbox 360 video game and the PC, and confirmed a U.S. release date of June 19, 2007. The DIRT demos take gamers on three mud-splattered race events. The Xbox 360 demo events include Crossover, Hill Climb and C.O.R.R. (Championship Off-Road Racing). The PC demo swaps mountains for multiplayer and enables up to 100 players to go head-to-head in a race for the best time over a point-to-point rally stage. Both demos are available for download now - The Xbox 360 version from Xbox LIVE Marketplace, and the PC version of the demo, complete with a multiplayer event, available from www.codemasters.com/dirt.

Well i don't want to be to negative about this game:D but the steering sucks, engine noise is a joke, Try the track with the EVO.:banghead: Setting up the controls on my Logitech joypad was a nightmare to. It's not what i call a next gen game.
I know that this is a demo but GTR2 looks better then this.
It's ridiculous that the game won't run @ high setting with my X1950 XT and X2 4000 @ 2.6.
The recommended specs are quit high imo. I can feel it now that a lot of cash is going to be spend on next gen games and the hardware that supports it.

CashetiWell wow.. that movie looks pretty cool, even though I don't think they can smash into a wall that fast and carry on driving :confused:

Also... I <3 the cockpit view. Used to have WRC 2003 on XBOX and I loved it. This looks 10X better !! :D
There are 2! cockpit views, one normal on one further back in helmet.

Also different levels of damage and in demo there is only rookie and amateur levels open. Propably wasn't in Pro mode in that video. I've even got terminal damage (so bad that you can't continue) in amateur, while driving to a tree.

Now got fps meter and screenshots working so here comes a bit more:

Steering doesn't suck, you haven't just tuned it, there's a sensitivity setting. It's not a final code product, so it will most likely run better in retail.

I have an X1300 but I'm not gonna switch cards just to play it. I take it this is SM3.0 only?

From what I can tell, it's exclusively SM3, I really want an X1950Pro now :p.

FFS, why are they phasing out non X1000 owners :( These cards are plenty powerful enough to run it.

Looks like I have no choice but to whack in the Sapphire X1300 512MB :p <<<<---- (And that 512MB ain't hyper memory baby, it's fa real!!)

You're not 1337 unless you have two cards. Or in my case, 5 :p

OMG on my X1300 512MB PCI-Express even on 800x600 all low it was so laggy I can't even play properly.

This is one demanding ass game. I'll just get it on 360 when I get one.
