Demo is meant to be out this week.

Can someone with a Quad-core CPU pls let me know if it actually uses all 4 when they try it?
Undecided what cpu to get.

have you seen anything that suggests it uses multicore

i know that DiRT opperated like all other games on a multicore system

split the work load on each core, in my case with dula core it use half and half.

THANKS BUZ.

oh wait, how does a Pentium M 2.0GHz fair to the Pentium 4 3.0GHz???

Maybe I'm lagging processor wise.
Got the 6800 vid though.

not even close sweet heart

want to get an idea if your pc will run it download this demo and see if it will install....its made by the same people and its the engine that grid was built on... I bet $5 it wont run on your machine fork

Definitely slower cpu there ... it might install though. Give it a shot and see what happens.

Will run the game slow once installed though, I'm sure.

GRID Demo is OUT

downloaded and installed.  can't run higher that 1024x768.  3 game modes in demo.  bmw race, drifting, muscle car race.  the bmw and drifting is fun and cool, but the muscle car racing is missing something.  something doesn't feel right.
i do think when you hit something the physics are almost great.  if you hit the rear of your car it will spin you around.  understeer and oversteer are really improved.

this is more of a game that a full blown sim.

downloading now

[rip|mrkavanagh]

nothing about this game feels right, one minute the wheel is not sensative enough next minute its to sensitive.....i couldnt keep the beemer on track. I wanted to put my fist through the monitor after 10 minutes


game sucks...toca replacement it is not! :twisted:  :evil:

[rip|buzinator]

gtr2 anyone? buy GotY Edition and it comes with GT Legands included


but seriously, read the forums, a lot of people are saying the controls are weird or need some kind of tweaking.
it's just a demo anyway.

[rip|Jackal]

the only thing i can say is wait until we can find it on newsgroups.  we'll give it a try and see what the majority says.  buz and i will need to get new pcs to run this at really good settings.

[rip|buzinator]

yeah, true.
