Still skeptical after the announcement that they removed cockpit view. It's not that I use it, it's that I worry that will also mean a less polished, more dumbed down experience like the crappy Showdown was, which had no business even being a DiRT game.
Being as I still play race games with a mere KB, I'm always on the fence about how much of a SIM-like feel I want. I like realistic suspensions and steering, but I also need traction control, ABS, and enough overall control to avoid sliding off track easily.
While these videos give me more confidence that I can handle it with KB, vs the original country road vids showing a fair bit of sliding, the handling here looks a bit too grippy, and the steering almost looks like center pivot vs a realistic front swing type.
Then there's the damage system. Will it have realistic looking damage that effects handling? That was one thing that kept you on edge with the first game. You'd struggle to get to the front, but then you had to worry about the car staying together if you had some scrapes.
