Forget GT5 Rally, DiRT 3 Will Feature Ken Block Gymkhana Mode

Gran Turismo 5 may be the most anticipated racing simulator on the horizon, but when it comes to rally, DiRT takes the crown. The series, formerly named after the late, great rally driver Colin McRae has always played second string to games like Gran Turismo and Forza because it was only about Rally driving. Well, Codemasters is going to be taking DiRT to the next level next year by putting the gymkhana phenomenon in the hands of gamers.

CrzyFooL5323d ago

Is the Chuck Norris of Rally.

seraphcaeli5323d ago

Chuck Norris is actually Ken Block in disguise. He didnt want to take credit for dominating yet another facet of human existance.

Convas5323d ago

I'm not gonna lie, I laughed a good whole 2 minutes at that Seraph. +Bubbles

Red_Orange_Juice5323d ago

you mean the game that is promoted with pre-rendered pictures that turn out to be lies everytime?

nickjkl5323d ago

doesnt gran turismo 5 have the stig

KratosGIRL5323d ago

But who wears Chuck Norris pyjamas?

ShinMaster5323d ago (Edited 5323d ago )

The physics. Without them, I don't know about that.
I won't forget GT5 rally, that's for sure.

Another thing. Codemasters need to stop advertising so much with pre-rendered images, aka bullshots.

ExplosionSauce5323d ago (Edited 5323d ago )

I think it's cool.
Ken Block is pretty awesome.

I'll be playing both :P

[edit] Title is totally asking for hits, Lol.

blind-reaper5323d ago

The Stig TOTALLY pwns Ken Block...

GT5 has Sebastian Loeb!

visualb5323d ago

it has 3 driving games in 1

WRC
NASCAR
Gran Turismo

of COARSE it won't beat D!rt!

comparing it to dirt I guess is a compliment to GT5 =3....still article inclusion however

Hideo_Kojima5322d ago

Its like comparing a pool game in GTA to a pool game dedicated to pool games :P

hennessey865323d ago

its stupid extreme sports game and ken block has been getting his ass whooped in the wrc by real drivers. Codemasters has not made a decent rally game since the legend that is colin mcrea sadly passed away. Codemasters need to back to the roots of rallying and which made the colin mcrea games so great.

phinch5323d ago

Proper rally tracks around europe etc, Dirt is a good racing game, but your right it definitely is not a rally game

STiRacer5322d ago (Edited 5322d ago )

Ken Block is just a stupid stunt car driver trolling in the World Rally Championship. And Yes, Collin Mcrea was a true attempt at delivering the Rally experience through a videogame and not the Arcade racing that is the dirt series. R.I.P Collin.

badz1495322d ago

but seriously lacking in true WRC experience and with DIRT2, they just went sideways and there was no WRC feelings to it at all! the real WRC game released just recently also doesn't cut it! I love WRC extreme made by evolution studio but they are Sony's now and is busy with Motorstorm and probably doesn't have the WRC license no more. but seriously, we need a true Rally game like the old Mcrae and WRC and here's hoping GT5 will do great! and please stop relating DIRT with rally because it's not!

phinch5323d ago

Colin mcrae will always be the king

phinch5323d ago

Just going to leave this hear to remind people who the real "chuck norris" of rally driving is

CrzyFooL5322d ago

For Colin McRae and Iron Maiden \m/

Noble Spartan5323d ago (Edited 5323d ago )

When it comes to Rally...GT5 is blown out the water with Dirt..Dirt graphics and physics and damage and unbeliable.

Dirt - Real rally simulator
GT5 - Stick to road cars

Yeah agree going back to the real rallying tracks.

I will not forget GT5 Rally, but this looks interesting as well.

jack who5323d ago

didnt he just crashed a new ford the other day

PirateThom5323d ago

Ken Block sucks. He really does. 7 WRC events last season, 2 retired and 2 points overall.

He may have this "gymkhana" nonsense down, but he can't drive.

CrzyFooL5323d ago

he cant even win at the xgames against whelps like Pastrana. hell never be in the leagues of McRae or makinen but what hes doing for the sport with gymkhana is awesome and you cant deny that.

thebudgetgamer5323d ago (Edited 5323d ago )

Pastrana beat McRae heads up at x-games before he died.

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

awesome race though, he flipped his car and almost won.

dragonelite5323d ago

Dam mcrea got robbed would have beaten pastrana.

Fishy Fingers5323d ago

Yep, never really understood his fame, I guess he just has good PR. He's the only active American driver I think, that probably helps. Loeb, now thats a rally driver.

PirateThom5323d ago (Edited 5323d ago )

Loeb has been consistantly amazing, only what, one non-podium finish this year?

badz1495322d ago

he's still kicking but already a legend IMO!

The dangers of an all digital future. I will never get people who are rallying for that.

Vegamyster3083d ago

If you own the game you can still download and install it, you just can't buy it due to expired licensing.

lnfiniteLoop3083d ago (Edited 3083d ago )

only while it is still on the servers to download from... eventually it will be deleted from those as well...

Vegamyster3083d ago (Edited 3082d ago )

lnfiniteLoop

If it's through Steam then that's not something i'd wouldn't worry about, they're not going to be shutting down their servers anytime soon.

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.

Devil May Cry Defnitive Edition for 10€ sounds reasonable, doesn't it?
I have never played it.

Can you guys recommend it?

coolbeans3140d ago

I personally haven't gotten very far into it, but I was having a decent time.

-I get a 'They Live' vibe from the whole thing
-Looks smooth at 60 FPS
-Story's kinda weak right now but maybe it picks up later on
-Combat is quite fun

As someone who payed more than 10 euros (equivalent), I'd say it's a fine grab for a weekend or something.

Xbox One Backward Compatibility update: Four new games confirmed by Major Nelson

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.

Eliseo6763228d ago

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.

Kingthrash3603227d ago

They are just trying to make minor news, big news for hits. Smh

XanderZane3227d ago

Who's they? Microsoft didn't make the article. " http://www.dailystar.co.uk/... made the mistake but stacking their stories on top of each other. It seems the B/C story for those games was first and the site just stacked Major Nelson's announcement on the bottom. Seems like a typical click bait article.

Genuine-User3228d ago

I would love to play Splinter Cell Blacklist with increased performance and VSync enabled. Come on Microsoft, make it happen.

2pacalypsenow3228d ago

I just want a new Splinter cell game

SpaceRanger3228d ago

Agreed! I missed out with the early splinter cells and just want to play them. Pandora tomorrow and double agent were the only ones I got to play.

Top notch games!

2pacalypsenow3228d ago

You need to play Chaos Theory!

P_Bomb3227d ago

Bring back Michael Ironside!!

badz1493227d ago (Edited 3227d ago )

Erm...play them on PC? No?

2pacalypsenow3227d ago

PC,Ps2,Ps3,Xbox,Gamecube whichever one

annoyedgamer3227d ago

Be careful what you ask for. Ubisoft might make another co-op game and call it splinter cell.

babadivad3227d ago

Hopefully thy go back to the roots of the Spliter Cell Trilogy. Those games were fucking amazing.

Space Ranger - You can download a Splinter Cell game from Ubisoft for the PC here: https://club.ubi.com/#!/en-...

diesoft3227d ago

@SpaceRanger Oh, man, do yourself a favor and pick up the HD trilogy if you can. I don't remember if it's on 360 or not but it's on ps3 for sure. Those are too good to miss! ESPECIALLY chaos theory!

Tenchu Z would push me over the edge to get an XB1. I'm a huge fan of the Tenchu series.

Yes.. and they need more Japanese published games on the XB1 as well.

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.

You got me wrong ABCDE lol i meant there are only a few new great ip

TheColbertinator3228d ago

Mordor isnt a new IP,its Lord of the Rings.

t-hall7853228d ago (Edited 3228d ago )

I own all three of those games and thoroughly enjoyed all 3. We could definitely use some fresh IPS. But this generation seems to lose more on taking risks. I think we as gamers need to support new Ips better. I always see gamers asking for new ips on here then I look at the numbers a month later and its almost always disappointing.

vegasgamerdawg3227d ago (Edited 3227d ago )

Dying light was fantastic. That's what drew me into this gen. The Witcher 3 (Not a new IP) and Dying lights open worlds make last gen look like child's play. I just recently played through GTA5 again and the world was empty and shallow compared to recent releases. Time is also a factor you must consider, not fair to compare the last 11 years to the recent 3-4. Games are much bigger, takes more time and expense to build, are other contributing factors. Like isn't black and white, you must include the every present variables.

Well thats your opinion. To say xbox 360 has the best lineups in history. When its last 2 years theres not much exclusive releases and just the same old gears fable forza and halo.

DeeBeers3228d ago

Biggest selling feature of Xbox One is to play games. Period. Not Xbox's fault it can do tricks that the PS4 cant.

Owait... yes it is! =]

Trekster_Gamer3227d ago

Not the biggest selling point just something that every current Gen gamer would love and Microsoft delivered! Sony would have you pay AGAIN for games you bought last gen!

sammarshall1023227d ago

The biggest selling point? More like a great addition to an already great console

kraenk123227d ago

Not sure if it's much of a selling point at all, except for hardcore XBox fans.

No Way3227d ago

It's not the "biggest selling point" but it is a helluva selling point. Always nice to be able to ditch the last console but keep the awesome games.

BattleAxe3227d ago (Edited 3226d ago )

The PS4's lineup hasn't exactly been a pot of gold either. Heck, just look at No Man's Sky with a 68 Metacritic, Knack with a 54 meta, The Order 1886 with a 63 meta, Killzone: Shadow Fall with a 73 meta, Driveclub with a 71 meta, and on and on it goes!

FreddyFazbear3227d ago (Edited 3227d ago )

are we playing the numbers game again?? here are a list of games rated HIGHEST to LOWEST but I will only pick 14 games whether indie, remaster or full AAA from metacritic:
Xbox one exclusive:
ori and the blind forest - 88
forza motorsport 6 - 87
Titanfall - 86
Forza horizon 2 - 86
killer instinct season 2 - 85
Halo master chief collection - 85
Halo 5 guardians - 84
Gears of war ulti edition - 82
sunset overdrive - 81
dead rising 3 - 78
Quantum break - 77
project spark - 73
killer instinct - 73
Ryse son of rome - 60
VS.
PS4 exclusives:
Last if us remastered - 95
Uncharted 4 - 93
Bloodborne - 92
Final Fantasy XIV - 86
Ratchet and clank - 85
Resogun - 84
Tearaway unfolded - 81
Infamous second son - 80
Until dawn - 79
Littlebig planet 3 - 79
everybody's gone to the rapture - 78
Street fighter 5 - 77
Dragon quest heroes - 77
Warriors orochi 3 - 77

Seems to me the highest game from xbone is 88. none of its AAA games are even above that. Problem is, your just citing lower scored games from PS4 while I can do the same for Xbone. I just showed who has the best exclusives (Based on metacritic) even though im not fully on board with game reviews because for me the order and killzone were fine games. Go check metacritic again if you dont believe my list. I ordered them by exclusives and by score. most of the games on xbone giving it a score is a racing game. forza 6, 5 and 2 mamde 80 plus score. Wow thats the best xbox got? Bottomline: PS4 has more games than xbox one so its inevitable to also have several low scored games like the order and killzone but thats not really looking into the big picture isnt it?? i look at the metascore of xbox ones and almost all I see in the 90's score are multiplats. great job.

BattleAxe3226d ago (Edited 3225d ago )

@ Freddy,

The games that I listed were supposed to be 'key' games for the PS4, which never materialized into anything significant. It's interesting that Microsoft has more 'first party' I.P. in your list than Sony has. Sony has been relying hard on indies and 3rd party devs for their exclusives.

FreddyFazbear3226d ago

What the hell are you talking about? More first party? Are you that ignorant? Ori and the blind by moon studios 3rd party, titanfall by respawn 3rd party, gears by epic games 3rd party, sunset overdrive by insomniac 3rd party, dead rising 3 by capcom, quantum break by remedy 3rd party, ryse son of rome by Crytek. The only 1st party devs there are turn 10 double helix and microsoft studios. While sony games have naughty dog, sucker punch, media molecule and supermassive games. So sony still beat microsoft 4 to 3. You lose again bro. Just stop with the excuses and denial. Microsoft is very guilty of having 3rd party exclusive. And by the way sony has more 1st party studios than microsoft.
