E3: DiRT sequel on the way

When a game sells mighty well, there’s bound to be a sequel in the works. This common statement also holds for Codemasters’ Colin McRae: DiRT, since the UK based developer recently announced that a sequel to the critically acclaimed off-road racing game is already quite far into development for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.


PS3 owners will get to test the first game before its September release.

If it hadn’t been for the poor online multiplayer, DiRT would’ve been an instant classic for its beautifully rendered visuals and very solid off-road gameplay. Paying attention to fan feedback, Codemasters is promising that DiRT 2 will feature a greatly improved online mode, which Matthew Horsman, DiRT’s chief game designer, in discussion with IGN touted as “a big surprise”.

Before we leave you speculating as to what the big surprise might be, PS3 users will be happy to learn that a DiRT demo is being prepped for release before the actual game hits retail stores in September. If the 360 demo is anything to go by, then PS3 fans will get a thorough taste before making up their minds as to whether or not it’s worth shelling out those sweet 60 bucks for.

awsome!

Sorry but this is a little off topic……There is a petition to get ubisoft to create a Assassins creed demo……

Bare in mind this is not my petition i found this on the Assassins creed forum….

At this time of post there is around 300 signatures…..and we seem to think that with a thousand we may get through Jade and her team….

All that is required is your name and e-mail adress…..and the option to leave a comment

Online petitions do not work.

It’s called “rent,” and/or “read the reviews.”

Is there a petition to NOT make an Assassin’s Creed demo? Because I’ll sign that…

haha as if they give a shit about that, they said no demo so there will be no demo. simple.

I hope it’s not because they lack confidence in the title, and it’s purely development time constraints.

I’m pleased that they’ll be making another DiRT game. I LOVE the first game and would definately buy any future ones =)

Is DIRT really all that great? I wasn’t at all impressed with the demo.

Put it this way, i’ve got both Forza and DiRT and i’m enjoying DiRT alot more at the moment. Definately worth the money, and its only 24.99 on play.com if your a UK’er.

I also am having WAY more fun playing DIRT than Forza2.
Forza2, For me, Was a let down.
DIRT on the other hand is all I expected and more. DIRT 2 is already bought. (so to speak)

Yea i think forza has great depth but DiRT is amazingly fun and addictive!

Not the mention the “great….” support for the steering wheel…… Ever tried steering DIRT with a wheel instead of the controller ?? A tank is even better to steer….

Comment by H1tchman on 2007-07-16 10:23:00 | Reply

Yeah the controls on DiRT are so responsive it doesn’t really need a steering wheel. Controller works fine for me.

fuck 360

Comment by The_Glovner on 2007-07-16 12:54:57 | Reply

Nope, fuck you.

And back to topic. Bought this and Forza, but sorry just can’t take it after the 60fps of Forza, keep thinking my car is taking a fit in this game. However that is my only gripe.

Improve the frame rate, improve the game and I am onboard for the sequel.

I think the steering in DiRT is rather bad, the cars don’t seem to have any weight…it seems like they just “float”

Comment by The_Glovner on 2007-07-16 14:48:56 | Reply

I agree to a point but I was putting some of that down to the frame rate issue.

One minute you are pointing one way, turn the wheel and in the blink of an eye you have came round 70 degrees and are heading off a cliff.

Well The 360 says fuck you coojo.

Comment by Kid Outhouse on 2007-07-16 16:48:34 | Reply

Yes, the physics need to be tweaked a bit. The cars are floaty and prone to lots of fishtailing. Other than that, I rented this game and was VERY surprised at how much I liked it. This is a solid title and I look forward to the sequel.

Lets hope we get a proper co driver voice in the next game and not a crappy american one.
