    Played demo. Big meh.

     

    Graphics look like Excite Truck. Handling feels weird.

    I'm guessing you played the demo on a SDTV then, as I think it looks completely average if it's on lower resolutions..............but in 720p looks quite stunning.

     

    Also, one thing I don't get - Why is it Sega Rally, if its laps of a track, not an A-B?

     

    I hope theres Point to point in the full version.

    There's no point to point races in the game, all lap based. Seriously though, the more you play the demo and get into the handling then the more you'll like the game. Demo is really limited though, and they really should have put one of the Alpine tracks in.

     

    The track choices for the demo though would have come down to having the opportunity to show off the track deformation.

    I'm looking forward to this but there are other games I want more. I will probably get it when its cheap and there isn't anything coming out for a while. Any news on a demo??

    Should be a demo up in the next week or so. I believe it's ment to go up before the game releases atleast.

    Being able to turn all the shit applications off other peoples pages makes facbook so awesome. The only application that isnt set to minimize is the last fm one, its so awesome. It means if people want to fill their page with crap I dont have to look at it unlike myspace.

    Wow, you can turn off all applications for when you view peoples profiles. Brilliant, as it's starting to turn into that mess that is myspace.

    Whats everyone's obsession with the purple? Its a horrible colour.

     

    (Granted, I hate it because I drown in it all day but still...)

    It's all about the purple for sure. :wink:

     

    All I know is that from what I've heard, certain members that people cry out here for a lot have simply either had enough of this place or have generally grown up from posting on a gaming forum. Don't go asking for names though, as you won't get them.

    If your hosting supports php and mysql, then I'd recommend using Wordpress as it's really customizable. It's a bit tricky to set up, but there's lots of documentation on the website for it I believe.

    Yeh, it was a bit of a silly question...........and I should of just looked it up.

     

    Anyway, I smoke, and I welcome the introduction of these pictures on cigarette packets. I'm not a heavy smoker, and only tend to smoke when out drinking, and since the smoking ban has come in I've had it on my mind a lot to just give it up...........as it really isn't worth it, but I do say I enjoy a cigarette while drinking a beer.

    for god's sake, add some AA :heh:

    Haha. Then again all Wii games generally look bad when you are also seeing screens all day coming from 360/PS3 games. I had to turn the chance down though, as leaving in a week or two.

     

    I have no interest in this game though, but I hope it turns out good purely because it's got both Mario and Sonic in the same game. Sales should also be pretty impressive if marketed the right way.

    Will be buying...........but I think I may be over doing it racing games wise, with buying Burnout Paradise (if it's this year), Sega Rally and also this.

     

    What's attracted me to possibly buying this is the graphics and how accurate the cities are............and I've heard that photo mode gives you the opportunity to move a camera around yourself and look at everything in detail. Hope that is actually true.

     

    I'll be dissapointed though if bikes play an equal role to the cars, as really I don't give a damn about them. Also reading the list of cars makes me want more actual road cars like MSR had back in the day.

    I'm personally guessing something like this is the problem.

    That's my old notebook, and some of you may remember I posted some pics up over a year ago showing this. All that crap came out of the fan supplying air to the CPU. I also had a highpitched screeching sort of sound before I opened it up and fixed the problem. My notebook was a Toshiba for reference.

     

    How long have you had the laptop, and do you tend to use it while in bed or have it sitting on carpet..........if so, then I'd be fairly sure that is the problem. If I can dig it out later, I have a link that provides instructions for certain lappys and how to dismantle them..........but if that is the problem, then it simply should be a case of just removing the keyboard and then you'll have access to the fan.

     

    I used a combination of tweezers, compressed air and a hoover suction thing to sort it out.

     

    Post back up though as to how long you've had it, and how you use it with where it's resting, as taking them to bits can be really frustrating with a worry of breaking parts.

    I'm using this psu: http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/114945 with my rig and I can confirm that my system works fantastically! This is on a 640mb 8800gts, 2gb ram and an Intel Core 2 Duo E6420.

     

    I highly recommend that psu!

    I was about to order one of them this afternoon, but this could of possibly left me struggling to get through the month money wise. So gonna wait it out till the bank extend my overdraft at the end of the month and I'll get one.

     

    I've heard they are pretty much silent, and one of the most reliable PSU's out there. Same goes for the 620W I assume, but they are both very pricey for just a PSU. £70 for the 520W isn't a good price at all I think, but maybe in the long run it's the better idea to just slap the cash down.

    i know several developers who still listen to gamers (thanks god) and although you might think different even Nintendo is one of them.

    Listen maybe, but writing up a game design document and then sending it to them will hardly ever have the outcome of that title ever being created.........especially a company like Nintendo.

    Cool! Well i like the look of it and have it preordered!

     

    I want MUD and loads of it though! Even more then Motorstorm!

     

    Is the game arcadey, fast and easy to control?

    Glad to hear. A demo goes up on Live in the middle of September, although that could change.

     

    And the game doesn't feature the whole Motorstorm thing where mud goes over the screen like it's splashed all over the cam. But there's a fair bit of mud kicked up on the tracks that are in that style.

     

    And yes, the game is pure arcade fun, and if you're an old skool fan from the original or liked the Dreamcast version then you'll no way be disappointed. I wish I could talk about it more, but certain things prevent me from doing that.

     

    With regards to using a VGA connection on the 360, does it generally provide a better picture than component, and it being more on par with using HDMI?

     

    I've got to get myself a 2nd PC monitor next month, and I'm weighing up the option whether I'll be getting a 19" screen with HDMI or just stick to using VGA.
