Dirt 4 will aim at 'hardcore audience'

IncGamers: With the destruction-focused Dirt Showdown on the verge of release, many long-term Dirt fans are worried that the series is abandoning its traditional rally roots.

Good news....
.... I love the graphics and the gameplay of the Dirt series, but there was way too much 'Xtreme' and 'DUDE!' crap going on and way too little proper rally-racing.

I really want a lot of LONG huge gorgeous rally-tracks to race on! Hopefully in lots of different varied locations all around the world.

By 'hardcore', does it mean they are actually going to make a proper rally game?

As soon as I was being told to knock down cardboard aliens in Dirt 3 I turned it off. If they want to return to Rally then they need to start a new franchise..

As much as I like the Dirt series, where's the new Grid?

I know right!? They hit gold with that game.

They said last week there's no plans to make a sequel to GRID

What! You serious!?! Say it ain't so!

This link from late Jan this year suggested it was at least a strong possibility and maybe already in development...

What a shame if it's been canned.
