Wow, that has to be the worst video for FM3 I've seen yet. I realize that crashing is not the goal of a racing sim, and to properly race, crashing is usually avoided however, no matter how good you are, it will happen and when it does, it should happen better than what this video showed.

I thought they had introduced a new rollover element to FM3. Those cars seemed to reach apex of a roll and then just snap back. Terrible.

This is one feature that I think GRID dominated in. The damage modeling was fantastic and the fact that you would be penalized for damage with poor car handling helped keep a lot of racers in check. I just think that if you are going to include damage modeling and crashes, it should be done right or not added at all.

Its just a small flaw but as one of my professors used to say "God is in the details"

Still a day one purchase for me however. thumbsup

Well even in the demo you can rollover rather nastyly, I think that in the video they are correcting the car, I have taken a roll that had me over the roof 5 times and then a slide downhill on the roof... funny but not good for the car or the handling in simulation mode.

Hadn't really tried the demo too much so that's good to hear. I wonder why they would show off a video like that if its not a true vision of what the game offers. Maybe its an early build of the game and was just released to continue the hype.
