14 new DIRT: Colin McRae Off-Road Screenshots,as well as a short preview of the game.
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 LOVE this game...
DIRT looks and sounds amazing!
I can't wait to experience DIRT!
Freakin great game fun on the offroad part of the game looks great very style-ish. Love the next-gen effects like sun flare.
...I know many are jumping on the Forza 2 bandwagon but the visuals in this game are clearly superior. Although the driving model is closer to arcade than realism I don't care, this game will be 100% fun!!!!!
Oh yes, the demo was fantastic - really showed off some great damage modeling (that look way better than that in the Fora 2 demo). And the 2 in-car views are the icing on the cake.
cant wait for this game
