Codemasters Confims Their Work on DiRT 3

Despite having just announced F1 2010, Codemasters is also working on the next entry into the DiRT series. UK gaming magazine Edge got the scoop during an interview with Codemasters VP Gavin Cheshire. It seems Codemasters is looking to bring something completely new to the racing genre with the installment of DiRT 3:

“There’s an overwhelming arcing vision to all of our racing titles, and Grid is incredibly strong, but we’re lucky enough to be in a position where we’ve got racing games in different areas. Dirt was a complete reboot – we threw away what was going on and redid it completely – and then we rebooted Grid because it wasn’t top gun, and then we rebooted Dirt 2. I’m not saying we’re throwing all the codebase away, but we’re throwing the thoughts away and coming out with something fresh and new. Because if you don’t innovate, you’re dead.”

Continuing on with the Colin McRae name, Codemasters built upon the first DiRT and made one of the most impressive rally video game to date. DiRT2 has many of the same traits that you’ll find in GRID, which is Codemasters’ other racing game that takes place on the tarmac. Similar traits include graphics, physics and the achievement system. So essentially, think of GRID, but in an off-road, in-your-face environment.

In case you're not sure, let me clarify: Rally is the greatest form of motorsport. Period...I think I used enough periods, people know I'm serious.

For those of you wondering why DiRT2 didn’t release for PC on its planned release date of December 1st (instead, we got a tasty demo), your questions have finally been answered. It seems that the game has been delayed until December 8th for an oddly non-existent excuse.

“This is not due to a technical issue in any way shape or form. The actual reason is far to boring to go into to be honest.”
