Cojage Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/111/1110806p1.html Compound sounds like a nice feature, better than the menu's in Dirt 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZAZEL Posted August 7, 2010 Author Share Posted August 7, 2010 Thanks for the link, Cojage. I added it to the main post, along with a list of the cars that have appeared and been mentioned so far. I really like this bit from the preview: And fittingly it feels like a return to the ideals of the series' forebears - the Colin McRae games - with the addition of Finland, Norway and Monte Carlo as well as the introduction of the all-important WRC licence lending DiRT 3 a more traditional air. It helps that Ken Block, the American star that's taken McRae's position as series' figurehead, has made the shift to the premier rally series, and as Codemasters returns to its roots its game feels remarkably more mature. Gone is the elaborate, extreme sports flavoured front-end of DiRT 2, and in its place is an equally slick yet more minimal menu set, told in stark monochrome with occasional flashes of colour. Sounds like we're getting it the way we want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crevlthe Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 rather looking forward to the snow rally stages though. I felt DiRT 2 didn't have enough rallies and was bogged down by all the truck races :S crevlthe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seddo Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 60% of rally discipline, woooo . Good to see the addition of extra surface types as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canoxa Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 The third seems to be lining up reeeeal nice. Those pre-alpha graphics are not looking at all shabby - imagine that kind of detail, only polished. It seems the career is taking shape as well.

xrCore Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 (edited) Can't wait to try this on my new setup (coming soon). GTX 460 or Radeon 5870? Edited November 17, 2010 by xrCore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brown Sugar Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 still looking forward to this game very much, i'll probably get this one on pc, i think it was a mistake getting f1 2010 on the xbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunrise Driver Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 still looking forward to this game very much, i'll probably get this one on pc, i think it was a mistake getting f1 2010 on the xbox There's no difference between two versions unless you have powerful PC.

Dnero Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Loosely described, gymkhana features a start and finish line and some obstacle to negotiate. There's going to be a Gymkhana mode? I'll get this game on the first day for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZAZEL Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 Release date set to May 24th, 2011. And a bit of gameplay footage from IGN: http://www.ign.com/videos/2011/02/04/dirt-...-around-finland Looks like some good, solid rally'ing and not just a giant Kenny from the Block/Gymkhana wankfest.

ptiko Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Holy sh*t, do want. I was afraid this might turn out sh*t, I mean, Dirt 2 wasn't a bad game, just not as good as it should have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy-Vercetti19 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Can't f*cking wait, hope it does go back to the McRae roots. The Quattro's looking beautiful. Hopefully there's a few Lancias in there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTA 360 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 WOW, so how long has this been known about? And I never knew they were even making a Dirt 3. That Gymkhana mode will be used frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I accidentally in my pants seriously though, I can't believe that this game looks and sounds better than dirt 2 and that game had great visuals. Still not liking that sepia filter that codemasters use with their current engine. Will hopefully have graphics mods similar to f1 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverTheBelow Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Hopefully the performance is roughly the same.. my card can only just max Dirt 2 at 60fps constant, minus crowd tessellation because frankly I couldn't see a difference for the performance hit.

Canoxa Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Wait, May? Damn! I lost track of how this was going, I was expecting it later. It'll be very much sidetracked because of LA Noire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After skipping DiRT 2, I might just get this. Has Codemasters released any info in GRID 2 yet? I'd love another installment of DiRT's tarmac brother.

Dnero Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Is there any way of playing gymkhana without a time limit? There's a time limit? Oh man that sucks... Anyways, I'll be getting my copy tomorrow. Anyone know if the Thrustmaster T500 wheel can be used in Dirt 3? Might borrow it from a friend tomorrow as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brown Sugar Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Is there any way of playing gymkhana without a time limit? are you playing the gymkhana in single race mode or in the career, I've not played gymkhana apart from the ones in the career but once you finish the first season you do unlock a gymhana mode in the career, there may be difference between that and the gymkhana mode in single race.

Single race at the minute, I wanted to give it a try first thing to get used to what it's like, I've only completed one triangle of the career mode so far, I've been playing MP and gymkhana.
