This is for the upcoming PC port.

Played 4 or 5 tracks so far, all nice and varied and fun, also seem to be stepping up the challenge a bit. I like the new bike too, it's got the pick up and go of the Phoenix with more speed and a little better control.

Good news: emails were sent out today letting people know if they made it into the PC beta

Bad news: beta has been delayed until early January

The extreme tracks this time around are fucking brutal. Well thought out, really interesting set pieces, totally varying styles, and each one just fucking brutal.

Closed beta invites have been sent. Check your emails.

The PC port (which includes both HD and Evolution) launches on March 21st for $20. Buying now gets you in the beta but it might be the limited beta that has been live for a few weeks.

If you check out the Red Lynx creations section in the downloadable stuff they redid a lot of the older tracks to be used with the Banshee. It's nothing new in terms of the tracks, but being able to use that bike is almost like playing it again for the first time, and on several I found myself liking it even more than the Phoenix. Way of The Ninja in particular seemed MUCH easier, although it could be that I've not stopped playing this since release. First try with the Banshee and I only faulted 26 times, several of those being really dumb things that I was just having fun with. The amount of excellent content that people are still creating for this game is staggering, it's a real testament to how great of a job they did this time around.

Only way I'm getting the PC port is if the fix the texture pop in. That shit drives me mad on the XBLA version.

I think that happens once out of every like 100 races for me. And only the first time, and only for the time it takes for the 3 second countdown before all the pop in is done. It ain't that bad.
