Yes, PC owners can to have their first taste of CMR2005 with the
Single-Player PC demo, released today. Sample 3 winning machines from
3 eras of rallying, The Peugeot 206, the Toyota Celica GT-Four, and
the legendary Lancia Stratos.

Take on 3 stages - 1 each from the UK, Sweden, and the new country,
Germany.

The demo is available from the downloads section of the CMR2005
Website:
http://www.codemasters.com/colinmcrae2005/downloads.php

Also coming up this week, we'll have a new video showcasing the game's
realistic damage engine.
 
Wow, I'll be making a serious effort to be buying this game instead of taking the easy way out and downloading it like I usually do with CMR. Top notch, even if it is just an improved version of CMR04 (a lot of the cars are even the same).
 
No, no, no, thank bahnstormer. :)
 
Great! Thanks a lot. I've been looking for a new racing game to play for quite some time now (I'm trying to keep myself sane until Gran Turismo 4 comes out :p). I'll give this a try. :)
 
^ Depends on your computer. If you have all the latest computer hardware, you can easily run games at twice the framerate of a PS2 or xBox.

That has not been my personal experience.
The gfx on computer games are so much better when compared to consoles (In Vice City for example you can't read certain street signs on a console, but clear as day on a PC).
Plus controls such as joysticks, wheels and keyboards are more available / better / more likely to be used.

I have a PS2, but the only thing I use it for is Gran Turismo and playing DVDs.

My experiences have just been different. Like the saying goes: "why try and fix something if it isnt proken?" Apply that here, why go to a PC when I have no problems with console?
 
The grahpics on this machine are probably 10x as good as any console. But then again, it did cost like 10x as much...
 
I'd rather wait till Richard Burns Rally comes out....supposed to be the best rally game ever (and the hardest). :eek: :shock:
 
I hope one of these games (CMR5 or RBR) has an in-car view that actually looks at the apex of a corner instead of looking straight ahead.
 
Well you should be sliding into the corner in CMR05, so there shouldn't be a problem. :p

Yeah, takes a LOT of practice to gain your skills.

This is a problem especially when you're sliding.

If you are sliding and the camera is pointing straight ahead, you're viewing the grass in front of the apex.
Also if you try the scandinavian flick, when you do the initial part, you'll be looking at the grass oposite of the corner, and you might not see the corner at all for a moment.
 
scandanavian flick is not suitable for most corners. only corners that are more than 150degrees should it be used.
