Off-road racing game DiRT 2 was supposed to arrive on the PC on December 1st in North America. On Friday Codemasters announced what gamers have begun to suspect: the game's been pushed back.

Its not delayed on TPB, I refuse to support codemasters on pc after their shambolic ruining of Operation Flashpoint.

FantasyStar5669d ago

Hey now. CM isn't so great at tactical milsims, but they make some damn good racers.

Pandamobile5669d ago

Codemasters make great PC games, what are you talking about?

Flashpoint 2 was horrid on consoles, at least it was less horrid on PC.

STONEY45669d ago

But it was still crap compared to Arma 2.

free2game3655669d ago

Codemasters does really forgettable PC ports, they all look the same as the console versions and have horrible menus you can't even use a mouse in.

darkmurder5669d ago

Sure the singleplayers fine, every single multi aspect is broken though have you not noticed that not one game from CM recently released has dedicated servers (even going back to Grid and beyond). More importantly the multiplayer contains pirates because CM never ask for a serial key.

haha the reason was actually too boring to explain lmao

EvilCackle5669d ago

Yeah, I find it odd that they didn't even give a hint as to what it was. Guess it wouldn't really satisfy gamers, though. Delays suck no matter what the reason is.

Letros5669d ago

You can still download it in North America from steam with the 5800 voucher code =).

I've been playing since Friday and I must say, I really love this game.

PotNoodle5669d ago

Yeah, i've been playing it too - its absolutely fantastic. Though, i need to get another 360 wired controller, all the drivers i've found for my dualshock 3 just don't seem to work very well, and my only other 360 controller is wireless..

So yeah, need to go get a wired 360 controller, can't be doing with games like this on the keyboard. My wheel works with it great, but i just can't play anything but sims with that.

Letros5669d ago

I'm thinking about ordering a G27, I have a PS3 as well so with GT5, I think I'd get a lot of use out of it, which wheel do you have?

peeps5669d ago

this may seem like a stupid question, but i have a 360 wireless controller but also a play and charge kit. so would that be the same as using a wired controller...?

dirthurts5669d ago

You need the wireless receiver. The play and charge kit does not transmit data.
You need the wireless receiver / adapter they make for pc. I have it and it's great.

Letros5669d ago

No I tried that with one of my wireless ones, didn't work, seem to need a receiver for it, maybe things have changed tho, I used a the wired controller atm.

10 Great Racing Games That You Can Play Right Now

ASidCast: "There are times when you’ve got a lot of free time and very few games that you’d wanna play. This is a list of great games that one must play regardless of how old they get, and not playing these would just be a sin for racing fans. Most of these games revolutionized their genre and probably created their own genre in the process, while some were just too advanced for their time. If in any case you missed these, then you better search for these games and play them for a fun dose of gaming history or as a new experience entirely. "

Bad list, but to each their own.

No Forza Horizon, Driveclub, Assetto Corsa, or Grid Autosport?

And if you can throw in Trials when its not a racing game, why is there no Rocket League?

C-H-E-F3511d ago (Edited 3511d ago )

what shocked me was two games I loved during the ps2 era

JUICED and Street Racing Syndicate, Need For Speed Hot Pursuit

Then you have Forza 3, GT5, and the others you named above... smh

edit: and crazy taxi and trails aren't even racers lOl

traumadisaster3511d ago

Bought Grid 1 on pc for 2.50 last week, playing that at 4k60fps will make you feel nuts for ever spending 100's on racing games.

nowitzki20043511d ago

Says the guy who payed 100's on his 4k rig to play a racing game /s.

JK, Im sure its amazing in 4k... Its amazing in 1080p too so I can only imagine. You should try Grid Autosport, I actually liked that better than Grid.

traumadisaster3511d ago

I'll get it in a couple of years for 2.50. After I beat grid 2 and about 5 other racers I have.

Nitromonteiro3511d ago

@nowitski2004: I chose Project CARS over Assetto Corsa as a personal opinion,and Grid 1 over Autosport because the first one was great 'for it's time', autosport was good but just not that great.
Rocket League would actually be the next game if could make a longer list,really sorry on that.

@C-H-E-F: Juiced and SRS,are you serious? These are the games that defines the genre?
Hot Pursuit 2010 was Burnout Paradise with licensed carswith cops and wasn't even a better game world.
Crazy Taxi wins on the mobile platform,there are very few racing games on mobile with a open world. And the few there are,arent as good as Crazy Taxi. And racing against the clock makes does it a racing game.
