Check out new screenshots from Colin McRae DIRT, the sixth series of Colin McRae Rally. The game features new graphics, audio, physics engine, new vehicles and a new game engine.
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.
and these screens impress me still. but i have to say, it looks better in motion. the damage physics on the car and on the track is pretty phenomenal, esp for a colin mcrae game.
for now this is the racing game for me on the 360....i love the demo,great graphics,great gameplay and the crash are unbelievable!and they get more real if you play on the harder difficulty!thats what i call next gen racing.....turn10 should take some note on this game....on how to make graphic and damage!
Game looks great its plenty of fun even more so with offroad gameplay the rest of the game has piss poor gameplay. This game is a for sure a must buy for me as its offroad element is next-gen and its always great to look at nice graphics.
* Offroad gameplay: Great!...
* Street racing gameplay: Sucks ass!...
* Graphics: Stellar...
* Damage: Stellar...
* Sound: Stellar...
* Style: stellar...
This is not the final version and is a demo which is stated not to be the final result, so this game could even be better looking with better control and more realalistic physics on the street the offroad is fine but dam the rest of the game is like playing Ridge Racer.
Played this on my 42 plasma and it's not stunning like the screens have suggested.Plays real nice though.
Awsome game demo. to up the realism level in the demo for the other microsoft wireless racing wheel users out there change the steering wheel saturation up to 100% it makes a huge diff!!!
