Dirt 3

You may be right as I've had the same thought since this is similar to Dirt 2 where the camera makes a noise and then changes scenes; I don't recall the pixelation occurring in Dirt 2 though but this would be more realistic to simulate a camera getting hit.

heres a video i just made this morning, enjoy.

Cool vid MrNeeds enjoyed watching it. I did notice in your vid at the cut scenes the same pixelating and color noise I have experenced with my copy of D3. Even though it is a minor annoyance and does not effect game play at all I am releaved to see that its the game and not my rig. I had a blast with D2 from the graphics to the awesome handling of the cars so when Codemasters stated they racheted up the graphics in D3 I was set to be blown away. However so far it seems at most on par with D2.

There's a few bad cuts in there, i used the flashback function to record the replays, but sony vegas also adds a pixellated effect thats almost identical to the one used in DiRT 3, strange huh?

I've removed that video previously and re done the run and re recorded it, it looks sweet now

okay, i am completely sold after that video. im totally getting this. i am a huge fan of dirt 2, and imsure ill love this one as well.

I'm glad you liked it vierasniper, i'm not going to lie to you, it's given me a lot of problems to solve, this game... but it was worth it.

It took me a few attempts to get that routine just right, but the end result is nothing short of perfect :)

I have an issue with is during quick cut sceens and violent crashes I get some strange color paterns and pixelating it very brief but annoying.

Codemasters seem to have a hard on for that technique because it's popped in a few of their games recently.

It's even in operation Flashpoint Red River during gameplay which is supposed to be a war sim


I never did play much of Dirt 2 to care for it (all the between game yo yo kewl mad skillz banter shit really turned me off)

But I do have Dirt 3 here so maybe it might be worth putting a bit of time into it after watching Daves vid.
