Should be close on the Evo tracks, but i think the runs on console version are better, it will take alot to beat those times.

agreed, but if what Murdoc says about the front wheel being less broken, the PC players are all learning to play Evo without having to compensate as much for the potato on their bike.
it will take a while for them to match the top runs anyway but I wonder if, at some point, having learnt to play without tire-glitching will mean they have the advantage overall.

Would virtualising Windows on your mac not work AJ? Would love to see your potentially epic runs on Gold

All the top replays on Evo console show no sign of slow down due to front tire- thats not to say we all didnt have our shares of random crashes or the tire glitching on us, it just mean we will get the majority of our runs we want in lesser time after having learnt the delicacy of bike handling.

PC'ers will only have the advantage if new timesavers are implemented (or simply changing up approach to a certain obstacle) on the tracks- kind of like the start of The Weakest Link- where you land on your front tire to do a quick endo right before spring jumping. This is one of those little things i missed from HD so i was pretty ecstatic to hear Murdoc saying that it isnt broken- or at least, not broken as it is in Evo. I think it will make a difference, but only on a few tracks, if that.

You know, i almost thought for a minute that we'd see the whiplash boost make a comeback but came to realize that is only carried in HD physics. Its still in Evo, just not as visible as we'd like it to be lol.

Thats exactly what im talking about.
I remember first playing Evo and learning that hitting the base of an incline couldnt just be done frontwheel first, which after THD felt counter-intuitive, but we got used to it. Its never gonna make a huge difference either way, I just wonder if it is fixed in Evo Gold, if they will benefit at all from learning the game without having to compromise because of the front wheel.
Makes me wish I had a decent PC so I could check it out myself

Would be overjoyed if they gave us XBL people a Warehouse DLC

Stole it back on the last day Oh well ill have to to try harder.

It will be interesting to compare the top times from both versions when there are more players but I would think that for the same amount of players, the PC would be a bit ahead (disregarding any difference in physics) for one simple reason: some people are just better with a controller while some are much better with the keyboard, having the choice is really nice, I for one wouldn't be half as good if I was stuck with a KB, but some really wish to play with one.

If I didn't only have Mac computers I'd be all over this.

Of course you would chicago. You are a hero.

I'm sure none of those times are close to the console times

They are pretty close and statistically we already beat the xbox times (after 1 week..)

It is just the people that have already played on Xbox that are close to Xbox times. I bet most new PC players that haven't played on Xbox are nowhere near console times.
