GameTrailers releases new video of Colin McRae: DiRT featuring offroad and rally racing gameplay.
Steam has slashed 75% off of several Codemasters' racing titles including GRID, FUEL, DiRT, DiRT 2 and ToCA Race Driver 3 along with a bundle containing all five titles as part of its weekend deal promotion.
The first DiRT title was released just before McRae's horribly premature passing, and saw Codemasters essentially rip everything up and start again, giving the franchise a face-lift fit for the next-generation. It highlighted the tone of a series moving increasingly further from the realistic, 'pure' brand of rallying in the earlier games to a more arcade-orientated, thrill-seeking approach. Whether seduced by the bright-lights of, for example, Project Gotham Racing, or whether Codemasters were just seeking change for the sake of change lest creative stagnation take hold, DiRT 2 (yes the strange lower case 'I' is intentional) represents the consolidation of this new approach.
Colin McRae: Dirt 2 (Dirt 2 outside of Europe) is a racing game scheduled to be released in September 2009, and is the sequel to Colin McRae: Dirt. This is the first game in the McRae series after Colin's death. It was announced on 19 November 2008 and will feature the late Colin McRae as well as Ken Block and Travis Pastrana.
Is the guy whos playing just very bad at the game, or are the controls from hell?
is there gonna be game music, or are all you are gonna here that guy spout off speeds and turns all the time. The cares look pretty detailed, not so sure about the environments. I much rather like the gameplay of motorstorm, soo fun. This seems like a game more geared towards a grand turismo realism. Never played a mcrae racing game, so not sure what to think of it, but yeah, i hope that it was editing cuz after that guy would crash, he magically be in front of the rest of the pack, not sure how that happened
I hope the rally section would be similar to Richard Burn's rally - very long (realistic) tracks. And I hope that the realism could be adjusted to much higher version than this in the demo's. I also hope that there would be more point to point tracks and not so many arcade circuits tracks.
PS: And those gametrailers drivers really suck, I guess they all go to work with bicycles driving at 1 mph with a helmet and a big bell.
Looks like a very impressive game (dare I say better than Motorstorm?) but I hope it was just demo'd by a crap driver. Still it has a while to go yet and it looks like it shaping up to be a quality game
Haha crappy driver. But look at the grass! THE GRASS! It bends under the car...we haven't seen that in a racer yet. Nice stuff.
