First in-game footage of DiRT Showdown is literally smashing

This game is looking AMAZING! Where's my sequel to Test Drive Eve of Destruction though?.....

C'mon, guys. If you don't know how to use the word, "literal", then just don't use it. The footage itself isn't physically smashing anything. It's displaying things being smashed. You could say, "This footage is literally streaming!", or, "This footage is literally being displayed!".

Oops...the demolition derby track WAS in GRiD... And I call myself a Codemasters fan...

Although I did enjoy the demo derby track from DiRT 2, I can't appreciate the direction they are taking here. It wasn't that long ago that we had a game called Colin McRae: DiRT. To me, the name Codemasters evokes terrific rally racing. DiRT Showdown sounds more appropriate for an XBLA release. It would certainly help emphasize this split that is apparently occurring within the brand. I pity the poor rally DiRT fan that picks up DiRT Showdown at his local retailer expecting a traditional DiRT game (remember, they've been through 3 games in the series and expectations have been established).

Me? I'm looking forward to DiRT 4 and the rally racing within. I may give DiRT Showdown a pass.

I remember playing those destruction derby's in GRiD for hours. This game is like a dream come true. DAMAGE MODELS!
