In moments like this, we just have to wait for the car to calm down.
It was particularly helpful, as the wheel spun around with a mind of its own, to know that control had well and truly been lost.įurther Reading: Far Cry New Dawn Hands-on Preview We also had a chance to play the game in a racing chair with a gaming steering wheel, which threw up some interesting additions. In fact, restarting a race from scratch once you’ve crashed a couple of times seemed to be a popular tactic among my peers.Ĭertainly, it’ll take a lot of hours (as many as 100, I heard it suggested) before inexperienced players will begin to feel truly confident with Dirt Rally 2.0. Once you’ve lost a decent spot, it’s very difficult to climb that leaderboard again. It doesn’t help that the smallest bit of damage, in the name of realism, can make your vehicle a lot less easy to drive. There are lots of things to think about, then, which can create a fair bit of stress when split-second decisions can send you spinning out of control and down the leaderboard. This isn’t a simple case of braking on the corners and holding down the R2 button for the rest of the time. Even after having gone out on a real dirt track to get the basics of skidding and cornering in an actual car, we found that staying in control behind the wheel in the game itself can be devilishly difficult.

We set AI Performance to the recommended 70/100 and left hardcore damage switched off, before setting off on a variety of gorgeous rural tracks.
The sequel is set to release in 2009 on the same platforms as its predecessor: PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.Firstly, we checked out some of the Historic content on a PlayStation 4. As for the multiplayer features, which were critically panned in the original, Raeburn offered, "It's all new." "The development team have learnt a lot from the development of GRID, and have strengthened massively in their ability to get the most out of the hardware," Raeburn stated.ĭiRT 2 is also expected to see bolstered replay features and a single-player career mode featuring real racing personalities such as Travis Pastrana and Ken Block.
The game is set to use an evolved version of the EGO engine that powered the first game as well as on-road racer GRID. "His ventures into events such as the X-Games, Dakar Rally and the Race of Champions have inspired us to look at events covering the extremes of off-road motorsport," said the producer to IGN UK.

In territories outside North America, the game will still be called Colin McRae: DiRT 2, in honor of the legendary rally racing driver who was killed in 2007 in a helicopter accident. The game will focus largely on improving upon the original DiRT, and executive producer Gavin Raeburn promised that the game's graphics, physics, single-player career, and multiplayer features will get some extra attention from the internal Codemasters studio working on the game. Codemasters has taken the wraps off DiRT 2, the sequel to the 2007 off-road racer expected next year for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.
