So the X360 demo is now out, and apparently there will be a PC demo on Friday.
It doesn't look perfect, but once the price comes down a bit, I'll probably get it.
There are some videos of the demo here;

so your judging the entire game and like 12 months work on what it "looks" like lol
tellin people to pass on it when youve not even played it is just silly imo
personally im thoroughly looking forward to this game - career mode, jwrc pwrc WRC all included, the graphics look immense and so does gameplay

Actually no, not on what it looks like, but on their past performance with the V8 game.

I'll save the bandwidth!

[www.gp4central.com] <----GP4 CentralI downloaded and try it, not so bad, of course if we aren´t speaking of sim terms. Its fun to drive (something close to dirt 2), but at the same tame is way too easy. I drive with no assitances and keyboard, and it is even easier than most of Need For Speed versions. That´s a fail. Graphicaly not so bad, well, the same than SBK-X. Menu is fine, setups are quite limited, at least diferent wheater conditions (demo does not include the chance to drive in rain or on a snow track, so no idea of how does it works...).
I´ve drove Richards Burns Rally, and obiusly this game isn´t even close. I´m sure than GT5 with all the problems and things you wanna say, will be way better than this in graphics and realism...

just tried it on 360... not bad - graphically awful, but the driving model is fairly nice - very Colin Mcrae rally (note- not Dirt) feel to it. If the presentation was up to modern standards, it could be quite a nice game. Unlikely unfortunately - one to get from a bargain bin methinks

The only other rally game I've played is WRC 4 on PS2, so all I can do is compare to that.
The graphics are ok, but not that much better than on PS2 (if at all), which isn't a good sign. I agree with the previous post, the handling feels very floaty and unresponsive. It does seem very similar to the WRC4 game in terms of on screen HUD and graphics. The co-driver's scream when you crash is quite funny, but annoying though.

Tried this on X360, PC and PS3.
X360 - lame graphics (thx to low resolution and all kind blur effects), but pretty nice handling after adjusting setup of the car (with default one car is basically fwd).
PS3 - same, but crappy handling with piss poor sloppy original PS3 controller. When starting the demo there was said it is still unfinished product and I have read from somewhere it supports resolution only up to 720p. EDIT: Tried now with G25 and feels already million times better. :P
PC - Had difficulties to start this. First had to reinstall dx9.0c, then updating my gfx card drivers and finally I got till menus, but game still crashes when entering the stages.
I wonder if it will be possible to play final product on ps3 and x360 with better resolution..?
Kimi, so, Massa Fernando Sebastian is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?

I've got the demo on xbox.
Graphics are okay - nothing special but not that bad. The demo tracks are good, in terms of layout, style and length. The co-driver is pretty poor - no distances to the next corner (just the corner 'grade' and those annoying sarcastic comments...
As for the handling, it wasn't great with the pad. It felts floaty (like it looks in the replays) and I had to use stability assist to control it. Then I plugged in my wheel (just the xbox one) and it is much better. Still, again, a little floaty but it doesn't feel as bad as with the pad and it feels better than it looks in replays. The handling is a challenge. You can't just turn in and slide, you need to induce the oversteer and then control it (although once the car's sliding it does tend to slide a little too much).
The thing is, what have you got as an alternative? Dirt is stupid. RBR is great, but I simply don't have the time any more to play RBR enough to enjoy it - I'm just rubbish at it. If I want to just sit down for 30 - 45mins and have a go through some stages I can't really do that because it takes me that long to get back in to swing of it. The only other game is CMR 2005 (which I have and play on xbox 360), and this game beats that hands down.
So it's not a proper sim, but it falls (for me) in to that category of enjoyable and believable handling with a nice range of cars and tracks and satisfactory graphics. I'll definitely be getting it once the price comes down a little bit.
