DiRT 3 has over 50 rally cars News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3

Since you asked.

2011 racer DiRT 3 will have over 50 rally cars, Codemasters has confirmed.

They will represent "the very best from five decades of the sport".

DiRT 3, officially confirmed with the release of a trailer over the weekend, has more than double the track content of 2009's DiRT 2.

Players will begin the new career mode 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".

Supplimenting the traditional rally driving will be performance driving showcases and career challenges "where car control is pushed to spectacular limits".

Codies describes DiRT 3 as "the biggest, content-rich racer ever to roar out of Codemasters Studios".

In Edge magazine chief game designer Matt Horsman called it "the biggest rally game ever made".

DiRT 3 is due out on the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 next year.

Been playing DiRT 2 again recently, love it ... Can't wait for all of Codies new racing games, they look brill and I've loved all of their previous ones!

Much more fun and exciting to play than other racing games in my opinion.

I think I just had a crisis as Jeremy Clarkson may put it!

Dirt 2 for all its yankisms is still my favourite racer, and this looks even more rallytastic. Insta-buy, day one.

Yes that is Battersea power station btw. Probably next turning up on TV soon during the London stage of Red Bull X Fighters (Dave 8pm Wednesdays).

Meh, if the rally cars on dirt courses still handle as if they were on tarmac then what's the point! Richard Burns Rally all the way!

@FourS33N

Which bit? Codies for endorsing D3 or Dave for promoting Red Bull?

Also read somewhere else that Mini's will be in the game.

Sound quite good now actually. Skipped Dirt 2 due to the horrible truck racing in the first so I will probably get this

Why is there this myth being perpetuated that people in the US prefer the ridiculous ADD style of DiRT2? None of the people I know here do. Maybe CodeM has only surveyed 7 year old players on this side of the ocean.

Most people here in North America find that immature bs to be repulsive as well. I can't bring myself to play DiRT2 because of it, and my friends also never want to play it because they can't stand that stuff. Viewing online forums quickly reveals that people in the US generally are embarrassed by that cheap attitude garbage they put into DiRT2. So, really, why is that design stupidity being related to the US when it is only accepted by a niche market and doesn't reflect the larger audience preference?
