The boys at Codemasters don't like to waste time. They've released another new set of screenshots from their promising racer, DIRT: Colin McRae Off-Road. Check it out.
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 am more excited about this game than Forza 2, and GT5 combined.
I really hope this one delivers.
Looks fantastic.
but this definitely has potential to win me over. I'm much more interested in a next-gen TOCA Race Driver 4 from Codemasters.
wow this looks so good the backgrounds are amazing looking
The actual in-car camera game shot ( the rallye car ) is the money shot for me... this will be a classic!!! What a great line-up of buggies,utes/trucks and rallye cars and the look is awesome.
