CG or not, the trailer shows us some new things, namely snow and road tracks.

Dirt 2 looks absolutely stunning on consoles, i wouldn't be surprised if the game ends up looking very close to this trailer, i would be if PC version didn't, actually.
Also, Dirt 2 was a decent to good arcade racer, with a simplified driving model which, at least, made some sense and provided some fun.
Dirt 1 was completely broken, car's reactions were completely incoherent, unpredictable and often made no sense; counter steering could either halt your car on the spot or leave you sliding sideways and off a cliff (same speed and terrain). Hitting the brakes on a straight would send you sliding forward forever but switching to Reverse instead had your car go from moving at 80mph forward to -30mph in Reverse in a matter of inches.
D2 was a huge improvement and i might pick 3 up, although i was expecting and hoping for a new Grid instead.

I'm surprised that they don't use Pastrana. He and Shaun White are the most popular current X Games athletes.

The focus seems stronger? How did you come to that conclusion?

Buy DiRT 2 it's so worth it, also should be a good price now (it's sub £10 on pc lately)Oli said:

Grid 2 would clash with F1 2010 so it's best to get Dirt 3 out there first.Everdred said:

Do they change the title to "Ken Block DiRT 3"?

It's Rally Racing, or is that Rallying? oh wait it's definitely Rally Racing............
I'm so confused :lol
Codemasters single handedly destroyed the Colin McRae franchise that we knew and loved, I just hope they have seen and rectified the mistakes they have made and going from that teaser.......they haven't

Well, at least it looks like the driver is driving point to point stages at the beginning of the teaser. You know, DiRT had a championship mode with, I think, over 70 pure point to point stages. I just hope they make a mode like that in DiRT 3.

It certainly needs more actual rallying than this Xtreme bullshit.
Also, I don't get why codemasters feel the need to release CG promos. They have arguably the best graphics in the genre in their games... shit looks real at times.

The visuals in the trailer seem possible, the scenery in Dirt 2 is already stunning especially when using ultra settings on the PC, throw in some supersampling and you could match the trailer for picture quality.
Can't tell much from the trailer outside of weather and snow being included but I hope they stick with the rally cars more then buggys and trucks, while entertaining I love to do rally stages in Dirt 2 more then anything else.

Yeah now we will be drifting to hit tennis balls out of a statue's hand or driving rings around a posh garden's water fountain! wooooooopanda21 said:

Yeop. The original Colin McRae DiRT was superb, then they introduced this whole X-Games / Ken Block shit and ruined it.
Really hoping it has more focus on actual rallying or something more in the vain of Rally Sport Challenge 2. I love racing in the different vehicles, but the structure of DiRT 2 and all the commercialised 'I'm Ken Block!!' shit gets shelved. Go back to DiRT 1 style, same physics as DiRT 2, variety of vehicles and I'm interested. DiRT 2 got really old really fast.

Sounds awesome. I love the pyrotechnics going off in London.
You guys seem to be overreacting. The vast majority of the video is exactly what you want out of the game. The X-games stuff made up a small section of the video... a video that debuted during the X-games broadcast.

proper rally with weather would be <3
If they can avoid the stupid recycling of Stadium events and focus on more 'point to point' stuff they maybe ok. They are obviously going to have some style events with the stupid Plane Hanger like stuff which I don't mind it's just if they keep recycling the same track stadiums like they did in 2 that'll drive me up the wall.
I don't understand the fascination with Ken Block. Just hoping they offer some variety this time around.

They should look at bringing back some repair time between races, thrash your car in the first leg and suffer for it on the next since you can only fix your wheels and suspension.

Don't tell me that you have never seen the Gymkhana ad.

There's no doubt about it that it was a homage to it. Check around 5:08.
Damn, I'm a page late.:lol

Weather effects and more types of surfaces (and the gymkhana thing) ought to give it some variety. The main issue with Dirt 2 though I feel was the tracks. Some were pretty good, but it needed more, needed longer. After 10 hours or something it started feeling like a grind.
Did they ever release any unstupid DLC for Dirt 2?

For what I see on the pc release, nope, just unlock codes.VibratingDonkey said:
This is what I hate about DLC, some good games out there deserve to see some well made DLC, need for speed shift has a meaty Ferrari DLC pack which gives a load of content single and multi based, if only Dirt 2 had a rally track pack or something.

Yeah I wish Codemasters would do something like that. DLC support for Dirt, Grid and Dirt 2 were all pretty poor. Too bad too, because I would have bought new tracks for all of those games.Diablohead said:
Awesome, good news!Helios_CM said:Just wanted to confirm that there is more traditional point to point rally in DiRT 3, a lot more.
The first magazine previews in OXM, OPM and Edge (out later this week) will confirm that

Dirt 2 was amazing. Its probably my favorite racing game of this generation. I really liked the first Dirt, but the 2nd was fantastic. I know there are other Rally car games out there, but i love the arcadey feel of the Dirt games. Really looking forward to this.

It was kind of a given feature since Dirt 2 has left over code related to weather, rain and window wipers plus the F1 engine uses rain too, I hope they can do some sort of dynamic dry to wet mud effect so powder can become mush, puddles get bigger, grass becomes slippery and so on.U2NUMB said:
