With Codemasters's off-road epic nearing completion, IGN preview the latest build.
"Out of the three other races we played, Rally Raid and Rally Cross were the most exciting. Rally Raid is a six-car battle around a mountain track. Driving a Montero, the opening stage of the race is relatively tame, with long straights and easy bends leading to tighter corners further down the track. Thick foliage and small rocks line the side of the track so, if you swerve off course, the chassis of your car will take a hammering. Plus, actually finding the course again - especially from the in-car view, where the grass is higher than your line of sight - is no easy task."
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.
I thought track deformation was only possible on the POS3?
look how small the tracks are.
Yeah Gears you really should spend more time playin your Xbox360 (Sinse it's your one an only GOD.) Quite jaywalkin N4G only to jump on every article spittin your brain waist then only to get your sh!t pushed in later. Cut it out dude, just buy a PS3 it's much easier than us tellin you how wrong you are.
Can't see the point comparing this with Motorstorm, two totally different types of game only the tracks of dirt being their only similarity.
