[Official] DiRT 2

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

Any word on a PC demo?

[+Mystic MVC]

I doubt you will see one before the game is released on PC. With all that added emphasis on DX11 effects, you can bet they will be working themselves to death just to complete the game on time.

DiRT 2 Jump Jam Trailer

Jump Jam kicks off the festival with a bang. In this awesome new trailer you’ll get a taste of the adrenaline-fuelled action you’ll be experiencing at some of the stunning locations visited during your World Tour. You’ll also get a glimpse of some of the amazing cars you’ll be driving like the Colin McRae R4 which was designed by the legend himself.

And If that wasn’t enough the action culminates in a dramatic finale as Ken Block’s Subaru Impreza WRX STI jumps over Travis Pastrana’s Group N Subaru Impreza WRX STI at a spectacular mid-race crossover point.

Can anyone give me tips on how to control the darn cars in the demo? I get first place, but I usually mess up a lot. :/

Just a couple more days everybody! I still can't believe I'm this excited for a racing game but I guess that's what happens when I haven't got to play one since probably the last Dirt. :p

[LiGhTfast]

I'm dying for a new project gotham or even rallisport challenge, the last Dirt was dirt i hope this ones better.

PGR, maybe. RalliSport Challenge, doubt it. But DiRT 1 wasn't "dirt". It was brilliant, and twice as good as DiRT 2 is.

I doubt there will ever be another PGR, clearly not by Bizarre anyway.

Damn, you're right. :( Microsoft Game Studios own the rights to PGR, so if they do another one, it won't be developed by Bizarre Creations, who are now owned by Activision Blizzard, and they're currently working on Blur.

There's almost no chance of another Rallisport challenge either, for the same reason as PGR, only it was DICE that did Rallisport, and they're now owned by EA.

[YounGMessiah]

Got the demo on my 360 and loved it when I played.. I havent played the first one yet, but oh well lol!

[Victor Rambo]

Its available. (If you know where to look ;) ) :shifty:

[MR_Candyman]

they could probably do another MSR though, gameplay is very similar to pgr and i would guess the ip is owned by either bizarre or maybe sega

Exactly.

Blur looks nice, but I'm not too interested now they've gone down the arcade racing route. Plus just about every other "power-up" racing game has fell flat on it's face apart from Mario Kart.

Should have stuck to what they do best.

@Waylander, yeah it was published by Sega. They prob retain the rights today.

Surely you mean "Bler" they are Scouse after all. ;D

So what do people think of the full game then?

[solardog]

PGR, maybe. RalliSport Challenge, doubt it. But DiRT 1 wasn't "dirt". It was brilliant, and twice as good as DiRT 2 is.

Dirt 2 isn't even out yet and you say Dirt 1 is twice as good as Dirt 2? I take from that that you have played Dirt 2. You must know a lot about it then, how exactly is it 2 times worse than the brilliant Dirt 1? How about it man, fill us in.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

I've played it and I can say it's worse than DiRT 1, happy now? :p ;)

Easy, man! Take a chill pill! Obviously, I wasn't being specific. But DiRT 2 has disappointed me so much, I just felt like saying that. The graphics are about the same, the interface isn't as good, the environments are annoying now (like NFS ProStreet), the cars slide about too much, and the flashback feature from GRID spoils the fun a bit.

[ViperAFK]

The graphics look significantly better than dirt 1 to me

Sorry man. Sounds like it sucks altho I didnt care for Dirt 1 much beyond the Trucks and rails...cars were weightless IMO. I think this is the end of the line for me and Codemasters. Ive owned them all and every time I think they are finally over that last hump they kick themselves in the face. I love rally racers and it seems we get a good one every 10 years or so, and that equals almost none. Sorry for jumping on you, good info, thanks.

Nope, not even close.

[MightyJordan]

Nope, not even close.

:blink: That's it? That's your argument?

[+Mystic MVC]

If you have watched the trailers and played the same game I'm playing and are that determined that it is barely an improvement, I'm not even going to bother because you have made up your mind.

I can post pictures too. :p

[SiCKX]

Graphics have improved a lot.

Everything else fails.The car just floats. :argh: The whole feel is that of a Tony Hawk/Skate game rather than a rally.
