kloon Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 From Codemasters: I think it's fair to say that it's been a slightly frustrating couple of months since we announced we were working on a new Colin McRae game. When we announced it, there wasn't really a lot of information we could put out, and since then it's fair to say that the questions have flooded in. Finally we're now at a stage where we can start answering them. The game is going to be called Colin McRae: DIRT, the reasoning being that there's a lot more to the game than rallying. Rallycross, Rally-raid, and hillclimb events feature, but rest assured it's not at the expense of the core of the game. One of the main things that we are excited about, and we hope you share that, is the inclusion of the Pike's Peak International Hillclimb course - all 12 miles of it, and some of the fearsome cars that have tackled it over the years. Liking the sound of that last bit []
st3ph3n Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 Spotted the news circulating the games websites. Great news. Pikes peak was sorely missing from driving games. Next step is to map scottish backroads and I'll be in heaven.
the squiggle Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 This has been on my radar for a while along with Test Drive Unlimited. Pikes Peak in Volter Rohrl's Audi.........HHHHMMM tasty
st3ph3n Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 Grant, you been reading this - http://blog.colinmcraesport.com/index.php The big man is making some shoes too. We'll need to see if we can get some special Scottish Scoobies ones.
Double Zero Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 Ah Pikes Peak what a great hill climb event its in Colorado if im not mistaken you need b...lls of steel to attempt it.[au]
RA Dunk Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 this is out next week remember [] a couple of wee tasters http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1vxd4_colin-macrae-dirt http://uk.gamespot.com/video/933159/617196...icial-trailer-2
dan_jess Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 Game looks amazing! Is that a Mk2 up against a Stratos in the 2nd link 22secs in? Whats your opinions on the consoles, X360 or Playstation?
RA Dunk Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 i prefer to do my gaming on PC, depends what you prefer TBH [] got a link here for the demo if you want to give it a wee go http://www.gamershell.com/news/38728.html
scouk Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 Looking forward to this.. But what I'd really like is a decent physics engine and not the console style arcade handling where just about anything goes. Earlier CMRally games were most playable, recent ones although nice, lack realistic handling IMHO.. But then how shoudl I know I don't go rallying [:'(] Recent cars have felt too light and dont feel that they turn at the front wheels if that makes sense.. Thei've clearly spent time on DIRT so got me fingers and toes crossed. If it's really good I may even buy one of those new Logitech G25 wheels []
Dougie C Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 Looking forward also to this game looks amazing on the Xbox 360 from the playable demo anyway. Also have on order which should arrive tomorrow Forza 2 Motorsport. Dougie C

craig mac Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 Dunks Its for the 360 mate Fleabay of all places []
david_taylor Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 Not one to blow my own trumpet, but I posted the video previews to this on the forum about 3 months ago[H] Cant wait. Going to go for the PC version for the best graphics. My nice new graphics card will work nicely with this I think! Dave
RA Dunk Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 gonna have a wee butchers hook on ebay then see if i cann pick up a PC version []
the squiggle Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 Game looks amazing! Is that a Mk2 up against a Stratos in the 2nd link 22secs in? Whats your opinions on the consoles, X360 or Playstation? Both but am i am a fussy bar steward Nothing between the 2 of them, better games for the 360 the now but the PS3 has more features and the potential to knock the spots off the 360
dan_jess Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 Ive always prefered the Playstation because of the amount of games available but the 360 seems to have a lot of good games 2. I just think the Playstation is well overpriced. I'll probably go for the 360. Played Tiger Woods on one the other day, was really good.
Dougie C Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 Dan Tiger Woods 2007 for the xbox 360 is very good with excellent graphics and is a laugh when playing against other friends online. Best racing car game is Forza Motorsport 2 which came out yesterday and is well worth the money much better than Project Gotham Racing 3. In my opinion Dougie C
