IGN: DiRT 3 First Look

You asked, and they listened. DiRT, Codemasters' off-road brand, has been successful yet divisive in its two previous outings, its yearning for a wider audience and heavy American accent winning new fans but alienating some of the old ones who've been calling out for a return to more traditional rally. For DiRT 3, Codemasters has taken note, and it's managed to find an answer for all of its fans.

Sounds like a lot of great improvements are being made

ProjectVulcan5762d ago (Edited 5762d ago )

Im happy about a return to more traditional modes and toning down of the heavy XTREEEEEME americanisations. They can find a balance for the purists, Dirt 2 swung rather too much away from the codies' mcrae series sim roots for my liking just to try and break the american market.

Seeing european rallies like monte carlo and finland return along with classic rally legend machines has certainly made me very optimistic for this iteration. Everyone i know always wants to see the Group B turbo monsters. Two time world rally champion, two times dakar champion 205 T16 please....

EliteAssass1n5762d ago

same here. DiRT2 was the biggest disappointment last year. I'll have to wait and see how this game turns out before i pass judgement but it sounds promising.

Theonetheonly5762d ago

dirt 3 is gonna rape in the graphics department!

mikepmcc5762d ago

It sounds great and all, I love Dirt, I'm just surprised Dirt 3 came before Grid 2. I guess there is less competition and more opportunities for new things in the rally racing market though.

Loved DiRT 2, this is a definite buy for me.

DA_SHREDDER5762d ago

Yawn. This series is a piece of crap. Man, I wish there were more games that were decent so I didn't come off as a prick all the time. You'd see me going nuts in a positive way more often.

dirthurts5762d ago (Edited 5762d ago )

but more your tastes don't seem to line up with the majority.
Dirt is a great series.

theEx1Le5762d ago

Well I aint gonna hate on you for your opinion, but what don't you like about the games? I found all the games in the series generally quite fun, especially the second DiRT

DA_SHREDDER5762d ago

Having bought Dirt 2 brand new, I thought the overall presentation in the menu's were good, even on the Wii version. The thing I dont like about the series is the boringness. If thats even a term, its just what i feel. Shit even motorstorm on the ps2 is better.

dirthurts5762d ago

Anyway.
I don't feel like Dirt 2 was that great, but the original was fantastic. I guess I could see how some people wouldn't like it as you're not always against other opponents. To me however a real challenge is me verses the environment which Dirt portrays very well.
I gets better as you go as the time restrictions on the race get tighter and tighter making you push harder and harder to make it to the end in time and in one piece.

Kakkoii5759d ago

@Da_SHREDDER:

Well this is obviously a preferences thing then. Not the game being crap.

As a racing game, DiRT 2 is fucking awesome. But that's all it is, a fairly realistic racing game. Whereas Motorstorm is more of an unrealistic high octane smash'em'up racer where your just going bat shit crazy racing all over.

I personally prefer a realistic driving game that's not about smashing up other players, using weapons or any of that crap. Just pure racing. And it looks like you prefer the opposite.

The dangers of an all digital future. I will never get people who are rallying for that.

Vegamyster3419d ago

If you own the game you can still download and install it, you just can't buy it due to expired licensing.

lnfiniteLoop3419d ago (Edited 3419d ago )

only while it is still on the servers to download from... eventually it will be deleted from those as well...

Vegamyster3419d ago (Edited 3419d ago )

lnfiniteLoop

If it's through Steam then that's not something i'd wouldn't worry about, they're not going to be shutting down their servers anytime soon.

I want to be able to play those games when I die, But that will only be possible in disc format. I doubt i'll have wifi.

Devil May Cry Defnitive Edition for 10€ sounds reasonable, doesn't it?
I have never played it.

Can you guys recommend it?

coolbeans3476d ago

I personally haven't gotten very far into it, but I was having a decent time.

-I get a 'They Live' vibe from the whole thing
-Looks smooth at 60 FPS
-Story's kinda weak right now but maybe it picks up later on
-Combat is quite fun

As someone who payed more than 10 euros (equivalent), I'd say it's a fine grab for a weekend or something.

Xbox One Backward Compatibility update: Four new games confirmed by Major Nelson

Microsoft has once again released another batch of backwards compatible games which are now ready to play on Xbox One and Xbox One S consoles.

Eliseo6763564d ago

This games already were Backward compatible.

The update made it so that we could use the Xbox One Wheel Control with them, for better racing. This should have been the news.

Kingthrash3603563d ago

They are just trying to make minor news, big news for hits. Smh

XanderZane3563d ago

Who's they? Microsoft didn't make the article. " http://www.dailystar.co.uk/... made the mistake but stacking their stories on top of each other. It seems the B/C story for those games was first and the site just stacked Major Nelson's announcement on the bottom. Seems like a typical click bait article.

Genuine-User3564d ago

I would love to play Splinter Cell Blacklist with increased performance and VSync enabled. Come on Microsoft, make it happen.

2pacalypsenow3564d ago

I just want a new Splinter cell game

SpaceRanger3564d ago

Agreed! I missed out with the early splinter cells and just want to play them. Pandora tomorrow and double agent were the only ones I got to play.

Top notch games!

2pacalypsenow3564d ago

You need to play Chaos Theory!

P_Bomb3564d ago

Bring back Michael Ironside!!

badz1493563d ago (Edited 3563d ago )

@2pacalypsenow

Erm...play them on PC? No?

2pacalypsenow3563d ago

PC,Ps2,Ps3,Xbox,Gamecube whichever one

annoyedgamer3563d ago

Be careful what you ask for. Ubisoft might make another co-op game and call it splinter cell.

babadivad3563d ago

Hopefully thy go back to the roots of the Spliter Cell Trilogy. Those games were fucking amazing.

No Way3563d ago

Space Ranger - You can download a Splinter Cell game from Ubisoft for the PC here: https://club.ubi.com/#!/en-...

diesoft3563d ago

@SpaceRanger Oh, man, do yourself a favor and pick up the HD trilogy if you can. I don't remember if it's on 360 or not but it's on ps3 for sure. Those are too good to miss! ESPECIALLY chaos theory!

They need nore Japanese published games on the BC list.

I'm waiting for.

Dark Arisen.
I wish PSO exclusives like FF7, FF9 could be released on Xbox One.

starchild3563d ago

Tenchu Z would push me over the edge to get an XB1. I'm a huge fan of the Tenchu series.

XanderZane3563d ago

Yes.. and they need more Japanese published games on the XB1 as well.

spoilerjerk3564d ago

I love how the biggest selling point of the Xbox One is the ability to play last generation games. Don't get me wrong, Xbox 360 had one of the best lineups in console history... Xbox One has one of the worst.

This gen in general lacks great new ips.Off the top of my head,Bloodborne,Sunset,Shadow of Mordor...?

Movefasta19933564d ago

You got me wrong ABCDE lol i meant there are only a few new great ip

TheColbertinator3564d ago

Mordor isnt a new IP,its Lord of the Rings.

t-hall7853564d ago (Edited 3564d ago )

I own all three of those games and thoroughly enjoyed all 3. We could definitely use some fresh IPS. But this generation seems to lose more on taking risks. I think we as gamers need to support new Ips better. I always see gamers asking for new ips on here then I look at the numbers a month later and its almost always disappointing.

vegasgamerdawg3564d ago (Edited 3564d ago )

Dying light was fantastic. That's what drew me into this gen. The Witcher 3 (Not a new IP) and Dying lights open worlds make last gen look like child's play. I just recently played through GTA5 again and the world was empty and shallow compared to recent releases. Time is also a factor you must consider, not fair to compare the last 11 years to the recent 3-4. Games are much bigger, takes more time and expense to build, are other contributing factors. Like isn't black and white, you must include the every present variables.

Well thats your opinion. To say xbox 360 has the best lineups in history. When its last 2 years theres not much exclusive releases and just the same old gears fable forza and halo.

DeeBeers3564d ago

Biggest selling feature of Xbox One is to play games. Period. Not Xbox's fault it can do tricks that the PS4 cant.

Owait... yes it is! =]

Trekster_Gamer3564d ago

Not the biggest selling point just something that every current Gen gamer would love and Microsoft delivered! Sony would have you pay AGAIN for games you bought last gen!

sammarshall1023563d ago

The biggest selling point? More like a great addition to an already great console

kraenk123563d ago

Not sure if it's much of a selling point at all, except for hardcore XBox fans.

No Way3563d ago

It's not the "biggest selling point" but it is a helluva selling point. Always nice to be able to ditch the last console but keep the awesome games.

BattleAxe3563d ago (Edited 3563d ago )

The PS4's lineup hasn't exactly been a pot of gold either. Heck, just look at No Man's Sky with a 68 Metacritic, Knack with a 54 meta, The Order 1886 with a 63 meta, Killzone: Shadow Fall with a 73 meta, Driveclub with a 71 meta, and on and on it goes!

FreddyFazbear3563d ago (Edited 3563d ago )

are we playing the numbers game again?? here are a list of games rated HIGHEST to LOWEST but I will only pick 14 games whether indie, remaster or full AAA from metacritic:
Xbox one exclusive:
ori and the blind forest - 88
forza motorsport 6 - 87
Titanfall - 86
Forza horizon 2 - 86
killer instinct season 2 - 85
Halo master chief collection - 85
Halo 5 guardians - 84
Gears of war ulti edition - 82
sunset overdrive - 81
dead rising 3 - 78
Quantum break - 77
project spark - 73
killer instinct - 73
Ryse son of rome - 60
VS.
PS4 exclusives:
Last if us remastered - 95
Uncharted 4 - 93
Bloodborne - 92
Final Fantasy XIV - 86
Ratchet and clank - 85
Resogun - 84
Tearaway unfolded - 81
Infamous second son - 80
Until dawn - 79
Littlebig planet 3 - 79
everybody's gone to the rapture - 78
Street fighter 5 - 77
Dragon quest heroes - 77
Warriors orochi 3 - 77

Seems to me the highest game from xbone is 88. none of its AAA games are even above that. Problem is, your just citing lower scored games from PS4 while I can do the same for Xbone. I just showed who has the best exclusives (Based on metacritic) even though im not fully on board with game reviews because for me the order and killzone were fine games. Go check metacritic again if you dont believe my list. I ordered them by exclusives and by score. most of the games on xbone giving it a score is a racing game. forza 6, 5 and 2 mamde 80 plus score. Wow thats the best xbox got? Bottomline: PS4 has more games than xbox one so its inevitable to also have several low scored games like the order and killzone but thats not really looking into the big picture isnt it?? i look at the metascore of xbox ones and almost all I see in the 90's score are multiplats. great job.

BattleAxe3563d ago (Edited 3562d ago )

@ Freddy,

The games that I listed were supposed to be 'key' games for the PS4, which never materialized into anything significant. It's interesting that Microsoft has more 'first party' I.P. in your list than Sony has. Sony has been relying hard on indies and 3rd party devs for their exclusives.

FreddyFazbear3563d ago

What the hell are you talking about? More first party? Are you that ignorant? Ori and the blind by moon studios 3rd party, titanfall by respawn 3rd party, gears by epic games 3rd party, sunset overdrive by insomniac 3rd party, dead rising 3 by capcom, quantum break by remedy 3rd party, ryse son of rome by Crytek. The only 1st party devs there are turn 10 double helix and microsoft studios. While sony games have naughty dog, sucker punch, media molecule and supermassive games. So sony still beat microsoft 4 to 3. You lose again bro. Just stop with the excuses and denial. Microsoft is very guilty of having 3rd party exclusive. And by the way sony has more 1st party studios than microsoft.
