John Yan At E3 :
With rumble coming to the PlayStation 3, I asked if the DiRT supported that feature. I was told the option was in there so that when Sony does release a controller with rumble support DiRT will take advantage of it. No Sixaxis support for the game though and I can see why it was left out as you need such quick and precise control over the car I don't think the Sixaxis would be able to do the game any justice.
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.
Just another confirmation that shows that rumble is definitely coming to the PS3. I think the delay of the game was done on purpose since Sony and Codemasters were co working on the Engine. They probably told them something no one else knew and had them delay the game so it would launch along side with their rumble.
Gamers are always quick to criticize companies on their plans and what they are doing.One thing that we need to realize is that, "they" got to where they are for a reason ya know.
Good move Sony. Cant wait to pick this title up
This only makes chances that rumble is being coded into Sony's upcoming PS3 exclusive titles even more possible.
I really hope it is coded into lair and that they release a Motorstorm patch for it.
in the list of delayed games come good. It has truly benefited from being delayed. Maybe the inclusion of rumble was one of the main reasons, who knows?
I mean I keep hearing it's better then the xbox 360 version, so I really want to check this one out and see if it's true...
I always knew rumble is coming, but the question is when.
would be really interesting.
basiclly confirmed it was coming but yea.. maybe fall it releases
sixaxis 2 hear i come =)
