DiRT 3 (Debut Trailer Page 2; First Details Inside)

[ObtuseChicken]

Happy they're going for the classic McRae game direction- hopefully should see more rallying this time around then!

 

[gtracedriver]

Judging by the ESPN logo in the corner I would guess it debuted during the rally portion of the X-Games, which explains why they would feature the "stunts and X-Games like features".

You are probably right.

The Intro showed 4 different surfaces and multiple disciplines.

Dirt, Rain, Snow, Tarmac, Rallycross (the big jump) and the gym.

Ken block, Dirt3 going by this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQ7R_buZPSo

That video was released to the internet over a year ago. Block's driving the old Impreza, not the Fiesta (and you can tell by the upload date)/ He's not doing promo work for DiRT 3 in it - the sequence at the end of the trailer with the car going under the exploding semi is simply Codemasters re-creating the shot from the end of GYMKHANATWO. GYMKHANATWO is the video that got more attention when it was released, probably because it's longer than the original and had higher producion values. As such, most people saw GYMKHANATWO first, and would recognise the shot in the trailer as being a recreation of the video.

The explosion in the end spoiled it with a car flying in the background giving the yahooo .. arcade like feel. There is no need of stunts and X games like features. Otherwise the weather effect and the trailer was really nice.

Block became well-known for doing those sorts of things, and he's become the unofficial public face of the franchise since the unfortunate death of Colin McRae. There's also the distinct difference between European and American rallying: in Europe, it's a discipline; in America, it's an extreme sport. Codemasters are clearly trying to integrate those two schools of thought together for DiRT 3.

OXM avaliable tomorrow and OPM on Friday. The latter also includes a world-exclusive review of F1 2010.

Yes. That what's I meant. May be they will feature Ken block but the explosion in that video and the later part of Dirt3 teaser look similar. I wish they make an arcade game like grid2 with variable weather instead

 

[Golfman]

Oh god please no. I have decided to give this game a wide berth. The reason it will be absolute rubbish(like Dirt 2) is because of 2 things - Ken Block and X Games. They ruined Dirt 2 - an annoying American with a hugely annoying voice and really OTT rubbish races in stupid venues. McRae will be turning in his grave.

 

[Dragonistic]

McRae competed in the X games more then once and against Mr Block in that event, I do believe this has been pointed out to you Golfman and you've been banging on about how McRae would hate what they did with Dirt 2 and frankly it's getting old. We've heard enough of you repeating yourself like a broken record about what you don't like about Dirt 2, we get the picture, if you're going to continue this crusade you need to start paying attention to other peoples point of view on the matter at the very least and reply to them rather then say the same old things with slightly different wording.

We know you didn't like Dirt 2 for the style choices it made, many of us agree it wasn't what we'd want in an ideal world but that doesn't make it a bad game. It makes it a game you don't like personally but the world doesn't revolve around you and the general feeling appears to be Dirt 2 is a decent game that could have been more given certain changes.

So the new WRC game will suck as well since it has Block?

Also, McRae was part of the first two X-Games rally competitions so I doubt he would be turning in his grave. Thing is Codemasters is a company, they need to make money and an all out rally game just doesn't sell as well as a game that is set up like Dirt where there is a variety of events. This is why there hasn't been a WRC game in 5 years and after WRC comes out it will probably be many more before there is another.

Also, is it possible for you to make a positive post?

I don't think it is. Seriously, if he really hates Dirt 2 that much why is he banging on about it in a Dirt 3 thread?

I also like how he has said it 'will' be rubbish. Since he's clearly played the game, he knows what he's talking about.

[motortrend]

I enjoyed dirt 2 and even though I love rally mainly and not these other game modes they put into the game, they add variety, and appeal to a much larger audience. This also starts attracting Americans to rally racing and could be the start of a more serious type of rally racing and rally coverage in America, at least I hope so.

 

[Golfman]

Frankly I don't care what any of you say. I know I have repeated myself about Dirt 2 being so utterly RUBBISH because of Ken Bollock, his American pals and their totally RUBBISH racing venues, and I will continue to do so in any threads related to the Dirt series until Codemasters and all of you get it through your heads that until they return to what made the original McRae games so good in the first place they will be arcadey, trash, and an utter waste of time. PERIOD.
Don't like what I say? Then don't read it. Looks like I ruffled some feathers again. Good on me.

The thing is, you are one person out of millions. You won't get your message across with that attitude anyway.

Also, if they are an utter waste of time...then stop viewing threads related to the game and stop spamming them. Don't play the game and move on with your life.

As I already have said, rally games can't sell on their own, they need other things in them in order to draw people in. Why do you think Sony dropped the WRC license and it has gone untouched for 5 years? You also haven't answered my question so I will post it again.

Will the new WRC game suck simply because it will have Ken Block in it?

Anyways, I have a feeling you are rather close to the 30 mark, so you should probably watch who's feathers you are ruffling.

Ruffled some feathers? Not really, it's the internet nobody is going to get worked up about it, all you've got through to our heads is that you're a complete and utter idiot over your time on GTPlanet. Good on you 👍.

Not to mention the post on your public profile with your buddy recommending GRiD over Forza 3 (i.e. the less realistic arcade racer against the one leaning more towards realism). You seem to link stylistic changes with quality rather then quality with quality, Dirt 2 does what it does well. PERIOD. Regardless of what you think of the style choices they made, your opinion is not fact.

You really think you, one person out of who knows how many, could change all of our minds, including the people who made the game? Yeah, good on you for sure.

If you don't like the game so much, then don't play it. Simple as that. And if you like the old McRae games so much, go play those. Codemasters doesn't owe you a game you like, so it's ridiculous for you to get this worked up about it. Go take your ranting somewhere else.


The new game looks great BTW. I wish it came out like, now, to ease the pain of these next three months.

Maybe a forum isn't the best place for you then.... 4chan could be right up your street.

 

[kikie]

I want to say one thing. Ignore him eventhough it's hard not to. Don't respond to his posts anymore. The best way to punish someone is to ignore this person, isolating him.

 

[MagpieRacer]

It certainly looks like they have listened to some of the long term CMR fans with regards to the rally events, just from that trailer it looks like there is more on point to point rallying than Dirt2 had, which is good especially with Monte Carlo as a venue!

From Codemasters DiRT 3 page:

Coming 2011, DiRT 3 will boast more cars, more locations, more routes and more events than any other game in the series, including over 50 rally cars representing the very best from five decades of the sport. With more than double the track content of 2009’s hit, DiRT 3 will see players start at the top as a professional driver, with a top-flight career in competitive off-road racing complimented by the opportunity to express themselves in Gymkhana-style showpiece driving events.

As players race to elevate their global standing, DiRT 3 delivers mud, sweat and gears world over: from the intense weather-beaten rally stages of Europe, Africa and the US, to executing performance driving showcases and career challenges where car control is pushed to spectacular limits. DiRT 3 is now in development at Codemasters Studios for a 2011 release for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft®, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and PC Games For Windows® LIVE.

Sounds hugely promising! Points towarsds there being a fair few rally stages.

You'll be even more happy when you read the preview details I've just posted.

I really am stunned with what they're doing.

 

[MagpieRacer]

Thats what I was referring to

 

[SuperShouden]

Almost sounds like Dirt 3 will NOT have Trophy Trucks, or anything like that. Maybe the T1 Raid vehicles, but it really sounds like trucks are gone. Which is sad, but the game will still be awesome.

Take that back! Along with the preview there's some exclusive images, and I'm sure I can see Trophy Trucks!

 

[Tommi]

Wow, sounds like it's going to be a brilliant game!. Nice to see rallying is 'coming back' and not just another type of race with the same conditions. I'm glad to see that they've kept some of the fun disciplines from Dirt 2 such as rallycross too, this free roam and Gymkhana mode also sounds promising.

If the rallying is as good as it sounds and the physics improve a little, this could be the best Colin Mcrae Series game yet.👍

Small spelling error there, but don't worry I fixed it for you.👍
