I'm on PS3. Loving it. The box says its 720p, I thought it ran at 1080? Oh wells.
It's pretty awesome. Seems tougher than Dirt 2 too. I've had to retry a lot of races, and I'm on Casual (with assists off).

Is the framerate solid? Also, have you tried online yet? I'm thinking of getting two copies to gift to a rally-fanatic friend of mine so that we can play online, but I want to know if the online implementation is proper. Thanks!Android18a said:

I'm running triplescreen Eyefinity at 5760x1200, on an i7-2600K (@ 4.5Ghz) with a single 6970. When I played the first track I thought there was something really messed up, the game ran pretty badly. Benchmarking gave me an average of 27fps. After half an hour experimenting with the settings, I found out that the killer is post-processing. With everything else maxed, I get 58fps avg with it set to low, 53fps at medium and 27fps with it at high. I'm not too surprised with that, there are a lot of pixels to process at that res!
Enjoying the game so far, but I played Dirt 2 a LOT so it's going to take some time to get used to the new handling model. So far so good though.

Yeah it's fine mostly. Had a few framerate drops during hectic parts of Land Rush races in the rain, but thats about it.

Yip. 360 version. It's gorgeous (as in, best looking racer on the console), plays like a dream, and is - based on the first hour of play - exactly what I wanted from it, frankly.

Put in a couple hours. LOVE IT! Very fun game. As mentioned, Codemasters still included some dudebro speak, but it's way less than it was in DiRT 2. The Gymkhana (or whatever the fuck) is where most of the "You're doing great, amigo!" speak is.
Racing at night in Aspen, during a heavy snow, in buggies, though, more than makes up for it.
On my piddly-soon-to-be-replaced rig (Q6600 @ 3.2ghz, 4GB RAM, Radeon 4890 @ 900/1100) I get max fps 49, min fps 41 on the graphics test. That's at 1920x1080, everything maxed.

can you set the wheel past codemasters favoured 180 limit?

Not seeing any wheel rotation adjustments.Wax Free Vanilla said:
You can customize:
all button mapping
steering Deadzone
steering saturation
steering linearity ---- what is this? it's not a percentage, default is 4. it goes from -10 to +10
throttle deadzone
throttle saturation
brake deadzone
brake saturation
auto/manual sequential/ H pattern/ manual H + clutch
Force feedback %
Vibration strength %
Wheel strength %
Wheel weight %
PS3 version is runs terrifically based on a few hours of play. Really enjoying it the game, well done Codemasters.
*edit, Yeah, there's still the one Dudebro who I want to punch every time he opens his mouth, but overall the larger emphasis on the Euro aesthetic was the right way to go, even as an American I much prefer this over Dirt 2's Xtreme Sp0rtz approach. The game feels much..eh, classier (?) as a result.

So now that some of you have had it for a while.
Is it interesting/fun/deep enough gameplay wise?
Dirt2 felt kinda shallow and I was bored of it much faster than of any older CMR games.

Dirt 2 seemed to have very little in the way of tracks. How does Dirt 3 compair in that regard? Are there more tracks?

Can someone recommend which driving assists I should enable/disable to resemble the assist level of Dirt 2?

To be honest, turn them all off. Just try it. I found that to resemble Dirt 2 the most.
Just done Gymkhana's first season with all the tutorials. I'm absolutely awful at the drift gates, I can barely even aim to get through them sideways. Pretty cool though, I finally know how to donut!
Rented it today, got in at about 7 and have just stopped playing, nearly 3 and a half hours in one sitting, on a racer... probably the first time it's ever happened. Loving it so far, felt way too loose at the start but a few tweaks etc and all was good. However, the game crashing when you bring up the dashboard in game is not good. Three times now

god damn assholes, we have wheels capable of 900 but they still program the steering range in their racing games for a gt force. i don't understand.
thanks for typing up the options.

Just spent about an hour in transporter (CTF) with Orgun. It is damn good, extremely hectic and fun. Haven't tried infection yet. Invasion is pretty fun as well though.
and remmeber PC-GAF if you're interested

edit: I think the logo now will suffice just fine.
Something I discovered today while playing which blew my mind, there are server browsers! If you go into jam session and hit custom search it will pop up a a list of all the servers, I expected it to randomly pick one. Game is winning me over in pretty much every way.

I hated the DiRT 2 demo with my G27 because the FFB was unrealistically violent. Is this game really that much better?Full Recovery said:
