Sold. I see stadium and I buy! Back when this was announced I said it reminded me of Rally Cross on the PS1, even more so now it has a stadium.

I'll have to play the demo, to me this looks like a motorstorm style game, and so far really only evolution has done it well, a long with the people who made arctic edge, that was better than apocalypse.

Going from what I've seen this appears to nowhere near as arcadey as Motorstorm.
Btw guys there was an off-road game posted earlier in the thread iirc that a few of you loved, was a PS2 game. Well there's a new one coming out for PS4 Xbone.

Baja. I just went through the thread. Don't ask me where I saw/heard it because I really don't remember. I thought of this thread when I heard about it but was too busy to post it then forgot all about it, until now.

It's the ps3 version remastered....
^^^ Great watching these , they seem very player/consumer focused lately also posting clips on twitter more and more. The last clip above, he confirms it will be PS4 Pro & Xbox OneX enhanced so hopefully all in nice fine detail too. Lets hope there is a decent Freecam/photomode 👍

@Brend I have just seen it is Tuesday 27th February 2018 👍 (end of video)
Graphics and game play look to be shaping up don't they. It looks like a fun racer
Cockpit view is a great bonus for an arcade, in fact it looks like there are quite a few views including rear view, dash view, bonnet etc
It's shaping really nice, I'm looking forward to this game.

This is definetely the game I need in my collection, looks fun and fast + like @torque99 cockpit view is a great addition. Can you imagine driving in cockpit view through that huge drop (1:50), it's going to be great. 
If there is a split screen mode, then this is the game this generation needed. Had lots of fun in original Motorstorm on split screen.

On the one hand, I love offroading (see the car in my profile picture? It is my car). On the other hand, I hate a few details in this video:
· Courses look way too wide except for stadium and speedcross for obvious reasons. There is a middle point between "impossible to overtake" and "5-wide and comfortable", some points look wider than Pocono's main straight.
· Many games have tried and I never get tired of saying this: freeriding in a car is stupid and looks retarded.
· Gravel one-upped most games before with the freeriding: now even a freaking Safari-spec Celica GT-Four is alright too!
It is almost like some folks at Milestone looked at The Crew's raid-spec events and said "that doesn't look stupid at all, I love it!". I guess I will end up buying it anyways... in late 2018 or early 2019 because Milestone's games always take very very very long to drop the price.
What I want in an offroading game:
A sequel to BAJA Edge of Control with some modifications would be fine:
· Less grip (they corner so well I barely use the brake!)
· Upgrades related to the classes (original ones are generic and include upgrades that would get you disqualified in real life)
· Day-night transitions and upgrades related to lighting (LED vs bulbs)
· 10-12 levels, each around 16 squared miles (4x4) instead of the 9 levels of 9 squared miles (3x3)
· Some classes get unified (trophy truck & class1 --- Mini truck & fullsize truck), some change (baja bug becomes Class5 limited), some die (Unlimited VW) and 2 new ones comes up (unlimited lites and UTVs) plus the option for new classes as DLC (Class11, this time done right)
· Unlimited lites would be the 2nd fastest class and would be made of TT-Spec and SCORE Lites (both are based on the same concept: very limited engine but just like a trophy truck or Class1 buggy elsewhere), UTVs would probably similar in pace to 4x4 (Class3)
· Each level has 1 short course (TORC, LOORS, etc) and 2 long courses (2-4 minutes long each) plus extra paths for bajas
· Every single baja and long course can be done in reverse
· Racing gets divided into short course, long course and bajas (bye bye, hillclimb and open class)
· Consistent AI (whoever is fast gets picked randomly, looks stupid) with some being specialists at certain stuff
· Bajas' starting orders make sense (1 class at a time, slowest start last)
· Bye bye chopper, now bajas have hotpits too every few miles
· Baja 1000 is still around 190-200 miles long in-game but, due to the slower pace, it should take 3 hours at least
· Less grip (they corner so well I barely use the brake!)
· Upgrades related to the classes (original ones are generic and include upgrades that would get you disqualified in real life)
· Day-night transitions and upgrades related to lighting (LED vs bulbs)
· 10-12 levels, each around 16 squared miles (4x4) instead of the 9 levels of 9 squared miles (3x3)

This is looking even better now. Seams like casuals and more experienced players can enjoy this game with the mixture of wide tracks and narrower tracks. Stadium courses FTW.
