A source close to Codemasters has revealed that Colin McRae: DIRT will be released on Xbox 360 and PC on 15th June. The PlayStation 3 version is expected to follow at a later date reports Eurogamer.
PC and 360 owners will also get a chance to try out the game tomorrow, when two new demos will be available. The console version from Xbox Live and the PC download from the Codemasters website.
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.
mmhhhh PS3 version AGAIN delayed? Sucks to own a PS3 for sure, no one will deny.

One does not have to be Einstein to realise it is not as easy to port games to PS3 as it may sound.
DIRT is okay! Not better than MotorStorm.
It's a competely different type of game to motorstorm. However i think it definately looks better, that comment cannot possibly be offensive as DIRT's coming out on both platforms.
