DiRT 2 is a Graphical Beast – PSInsider Preview

From Playstation Insider:

"When Codemasters released Colin McRae: Dirt back in 2007, the game was met very well to high review scores and it just being a very awesome game. More than three years later, Codemasters is bringing the series back for another entry with DiRT 2. Being the first game in the McRae series after Colin's death, it was only right that Codemasters made this game bigger, better and more gorgeous then ever to look at. With my recent playing of the game, I can say they have succeeded."

Just tried out the demo myself on my HDTV (yeah...i had to say that :p) and this game looks AMAZING. Gameplay itself isnt that bad either. Not a big fan of offroad racing though so I think i'll have to pass but nonetheless, still amazing.

ProA0076121d ago

Yeah I think that may have bene everyone's first though when playing the demo, "wow"

Blaze9296121d ago

was sure as hell my first though.

Sarcasm6121d ago

The graphics are top notch. Although Grid on the 360 looked slightly better and ran a smidge smoother than the PS3 version. But based off this demo of Dirt 2 on PS3, it's 100% buttery smooth, no drops in frame rate, no screen tear, and the textures and effects and everything just looks amazing!

D3adcell6121d ago

It looks really good, but I don't really like the offroad racing games.

Blaze9296121d ago

Yeah I'll at least give this a rent if anything. Hopefully one of my friends buy it so I can just freeload and borrow it hahaha but yeah I cant see myself paying $60

Blaze9296121d ago

hey...nothing wrong with letting a friend buy a game then borrowing it for awhile till he forgets about it ;)

The story image used here is a bullshot from Dirt 1.

Blaze9296121d ago

I just googled image Dirt 2 and picked a random image.

well its not like the actual game is too far off from that image imo

ProA0076121d ago

i'd say Dirt 2 is actually pretty close car model wise.

NaiNaiNai6121d ago

ProA0076121d ago

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-F3855d ago (Edited 3855d 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

traumadisaster3855d 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.

nowitzki20043855d 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.

traumadisaster3855d 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.

Nitromonteiro3855d 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.
