The demo does support 1920×1200.

ZIGS: That is a shame. I know of only one (Tríade, featured right here a few months ago) but it seems less-than-perfect and I’m not sure if I can bring myself to play it just to practise.

I saw a tractor pull once. It was the dullest spectator sport EVER. 3 seconds of racing followed by 15 minutes of setup.

I’ve noticed VirtualR has been very disappointed in this game, even when it was just releasing gameplay videos (while they seem to be holding out hope for NFS: Shift still). So I’m not expecting too much from it, but I might as well give it a try.

@Heliocentricity: Have you tried the free Rigs of Rods yet? It doesn’t really have any sort of racing/any-sort-of-gameplay-at-all modes yet (at least last time I tried it), but it does have a huge variety of cars to drive around the huge number of maps, with more to download from their users. Also Lego Racers (tried it on GameTap) lets you build whatever sort of car you want, though they still all look like they’re made of LEGO, obv. It’s more of a Mario Kart-style game, too.

Hmmm. I’m not sure if it’s wise to produce a racing game that’s inferior to GRID and then release a demo that features exactly the same track as the one in the GRID demo.

Just putting this out there. My son would love to play a game where you drive milk floats, tractors, diggers, street sweepers or any number of not another racing car vehicles. Trackmania has a few interesting models on the net, but if anyone can point out some non conventional driving games that would be great.

But if you are a driving game developer, and your engine doesn’t support checkpoint return or time rewind my advice is get a new engine and start again. Even if you turn it off by default in the realism settings, the precident has been set. Even though codemasters are chodes who try and force you to pay for cheats grid is the benchmark now. Seriously.

It’s really been Rossignol, Paper, Shotgun the last few days.

Things are a bit quiet at Castle Shotgun. We’ll be closer to normality next week, but June as a whole will be fairly slow with people away, or buried in other work.

ZIGS: Are there any (reasonably good) games in Portuguese? Estou aprendendo Português e gostaria de um jogo (?) em Português.
