Like many other fans my relationship with the DiRT franchise is one of passion but disappointment, love but disgust. While the first DiRT title was a superb homage to rally racing – and off-road racing in general – the second installment in the series was a misguided attempt to appease the disinterested majority instead of the faithful minority. Even though the driving physics were greatly improved for the sequel, the game’s overall focus left a lot of us shooting disgusted glares towards the Codemasters headquarters in England. Thus it is impossible, as it should be with any sequel, to avoid comparing DiRT 3 to its predecessors.
Sad news to those wanting to pick up Codemasters Studio's Race Driver GRID and Dirt 3 after missing out on the recent Humble Bundle giveaway, the studio has delisted both games and F1 2013 from the Steam Storefront from as early as 31st December 2016.
The dangers of an all digital future. I will never get people who are rallying for that.
I want to be able to play those games when I die, But that will only be possible in disc format. I doubt i'll have wifi.
Neil writes "Last week's Xbox Live Deals With Gold sale was, quite frankly, a bit rubbish. But we can forget all about that as there's a new sale in town and this one will be running between the 8th-14th November 2016. Surely it's got to bring us a better set of bargains? Well, check out the full listing below."
Devil May Cry Defnitive Edition for 10€ sounds reasonable, doesn't it?
I have never played it.
Can you guys recommend it?
Microsoft has once again released another batch of backwards compatible games which are now ready to play on Xbox One and Xbox One S consoles.
This games already were Backward compatible.
The update made it so that we could use the Xbox One Wheel Control with them, for better racing. This should have been the news.
I would love to play Splinter Cell Blacklist with increased performance and VSync enabled. Come on Microsoft, make it happen.
They need nore Japanese published games on the BC list.
I'm waiting for.
Dark Arisen.
I wish PSO exclusives like FF7, FF9 could be released on Xbox One.
I love how the biggest selling point of the Xbox One is the ability to play last generation games. Don't get me wrong, Xbox 360 had one of the best lineups in console history... Xbox One has one of the worst.
Not much of fan of the gymkahna events and no in game brightness adjustment are my only problems with it, ditch ken block.
There's a few problems:
You don't get to see an overview of the course when tweaking your car, so you have to know the track first to be able to make the correct decision. Considering it is nearly a sim, that is a big mistake.
The things you have to touch in the gymkahna levels get stuck infront of the car and you can't see where you are going >_<, so you are forced to change the camera angle.
Otherwise, fantastic game :P
Also the graphics are great on consoles and little short of perfect on a DX11 PC with 3 monitors :O
The field of view of the camera is a bit low on the console version, most people are too dumb to notice that though.
the tracks are way too short (compared to dirt 2 and virtually every other racing game)
since they cut the track lengths in half, the review scores should be cut in half
I think they add the tracks where they split together in Multiplayer.
I remember that being the case in Dirt 2 where they had one huge track which was a combination of rally tracks from the singleplayer from that location, making one long track which you raced on from start to finish, so you had to know each section of the track if you wanted a chance to win.
