Oh such sweet videos! Very interested in this.

[Miuku.]

I wonder if they'll include *real* rally events this time - unlikely. I guess we'll never see a proper rally game for the current generation of consoles.

If the game lives up to these vids then I'm excited. I want one of these rally games to be good in the worst way. Dirt 1 absolutely sucked imo. Last weekend I was weeding out all my games Ill never play again so I reinstalled Dirt thinking maybe its not as bad as I thought...its worse, so much worse, its gone. I'm craving a good rally racer. I love rally racers. Its my favorite genre and it barely exists. My fingers are crossed.

Any reason why you totally trashed the game without explanation?

Horrible physics. Cars have absolutely no weighty feel. That Center pivot steering thing that every Codemasters game has to some degree. Really bad graphics overall. There are a couple exceptions that stand out tho. The Trucks and rails are very decent...they completely stand out from the rest of Dirt. Come on man, you actually think Dirt is a good representation of offroad racing? Whats it trying to be? Its horrible as an arcade and never even comes close to a sim. It is Codies worst effort to date, IMO, mainly because I was expecting so much more. Every Codemasters racer ever made, Ive owned, all the ToCA/race drivers and CMRs. Codies always has something in every game that keeps me coming back. Ill buy Dirt 2 without a doubt because I know there will be a gem in that game as there is with all their games, with Dirt is was to a much lesser degree,IMO.

What's truly shameful is that RBR is still the best overall rally game around :/

steering wheel is a must for RBR.

i'd love to drive on 10-15min long stages. :D

but i'm sure C wont put anything more than 3-5min stage.

Who drives rally without a steering wheel, pedals and a shifter. Heresy I tell you, heresy! :p

Raid ? Baja

Looks just as bad as the first one, I guess my expectations of getting some real rally driving are out of the door.

I'm sure it was announced, didn't we even have a topic on it a few weeks ago?

[very bandwidth heavy]

*online MP. NO ghost car :woot:

*offline multiplayer

*some game modes mentioned

rated 12 [PEGI] :|

because of soundtrack.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Loving everything about the game so far, will wait and see how MP is before judging though.

And really into the song they are using for their trailers. They Say - Scars on Broadway (for Spotify users)

Let's f*** the world with all it's trend, they say it's all about to end...:cool:

[solardog]

video looks sweet, I just hope it doesn't feel like you're driving an empty can of soda. Is this finally the rally racer Ive been waiting for?

[rajputwarrior]

my opinion colin mcrae 2005 was the best, i still play that game once in a while (on my psp). The cars felt awesome in that game, if they go back to that formula, they'll have a winner!

Ken Block vs. Dave Mirra on Dirt2

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Why is the 360 upside down :blink: Either that or the video is mirrored.

Edit: it can't be mirrored actually. His shirt is the correct way round.

Edit 2: stadium looks good, not a lot of dirt being kicked up though :/

XGames (sort of) show up in another game.
