Highly interested in zhuk's impressions on this

For me i will start by saying my anticipation for this was very low. I really didn't expect much.

Graphics: Not bad, not bad at all. 20 cars on screen, the crowd is nicely done but there is still a lack of detail you find in titles like GT5P and PGR4. Graphically i would put it slightly above burnout but burnout exists in an open world.

Damage: Without a doubt, best damage i have seen. Parts of cars fall off and remain on the road and you actually feel them when you drive over them on your next lap.

Gameplay: Cars felt light. Too light. Maybe because i have been mostly playing GT5P where you can actually feel the weight of the cars but damn it was too ridiculous. The vehicle handling was poor imo. A little bit too arcade for me. (Would like to know what zhuk thought of the handling). They should have been able to balance it better with the handling. Was almost like driving in GTA4.

Overall, like i said i wasn't expecting too much so i wasn't disappointed. However this will NOT be the racer of the yr. Might get nominated but certainly won't be taking the crown. For now, burnout still stands as the best racing game this yr

I thought Dirt vehicles felt light as well, why can't they get this right?  It feels arcade like to me too.

My favorite part about Dirt was the awesome breaks; 100 mph to 0 in 2 seconds, on gravel.
