Sequel 'offers a more embellished experience', plus PS3 DiRT demo imminent.
Codemasters has let slip that Colin McRae DiRT 2 is already well into production and that the game will offer a greatly improved online mode. Speaking to IGN at E3, Matthew Horsman, DiRT's chief game designer, said that the team has been listening to comments from gamers about what they did and didn't like about the original game. "All the stuff people didn't like about the first DiRT will be changed for DiRT 2," he explained, and then promised that "DiRT 2's online mode will offer a much more embellished experience so everyone will be happy."

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?
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
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.
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.
I'll get it in a couple of years for 2.50. After I beat grid 2 and about 5 other racers I have.
@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.
Demo should be good.
Edit: Ok, demo for ps3... can you read?
They've already made a demo so theres no real work needed to like you would need to create a brand new one.
Also
Of course DiRT 2 is in the works lets just hope the physics engine isn't garbage in the sequel.
I've already played this game to death and moved on.. Owning one console certainly has it's disadvantages.
I still liked Motorstorm better because of the arcade style racing and physics. DiRT has more diversity to gameplay and it's a longer game but it feels too serious for me. Probably why I like Burnout more than games like GT or Forza 2.
FORDGTGUY: I do agree DiRT had some really bad physics. There was no drift or skid in that game at all. Nothing like hard stopping on dirt and coming to a stop like you are on pavement.
Hopefully they will implement the things that they couldn't get done in time for Dirt- real online multiplayer, better physics, snow rally stages, night races etc. I'll be keeping my eye on the next one for sure!
wow that is fast man.
How long do u think it will take?
