Dirt 2 was good, but I wasn't into the American-isation of it all and the x-games theme.  Very happy to see this one going back to more traditional rally.

Hey dudes. As a few people have pointed out, the guy I call a "producer" was really Paul Coleman, the SENIOR DESIGNER. Kind of a big difference! Sorry for any confusion.

I loved dirt 2. But I hope this has more rally and trailblazer. I wasn't a huge fan of the buggies.

Awesome vid, very excited for Dirt 3.  Especially happy to hear they are turning down the broism this time around.  That was the only thing of Dirt 2 I hated.

For those who are wondering that the game is still in Pre-alpha stage and might not get delayed:

I really enjoyed Dirt 2. Pretty excited for this one. And man does the game look great. I'm really digging the lighting. Can't wait to play it in HD glory on my tv.

You guys can follow the "producer" of DiRT3...really he's the Senior Designer, Paul Coleman @ http://twitter.com/kick_up  
Anyways, a little more info on DiRT3;

Kenya, LA, Monaco - Dry Tracks 
Aspen, Norway - Snow covered 
Finland, Michigan and Smelter (in Michigan) - Rain 
For Gymkhana, 4 routes in Monaco and 4 in LA (included in the DiRT3 Tour) + 3 areas in Battersea Compound (seen in the video) for Chillin' out !!

There's gonna be X-Games...normal X-Games at LA Coliseum and the Winter X-Games at Aspen :) 
 
No news of the menu and UI, I'm dying here to see the menu.

I demand more Dave and Drew featured Quicklooks.  
 
Whenever you find yourselves thinking, "hey, let's get Alex in on this", I want you to stop right there and understand that Dave and Drew are the superior choices.  :D

This looks fantastic. I have confidence in Codemasters ability to deliver the sweet spot. 
I love DiRT, and thought DiRT2 was pretty fun once you get past the DUDE BRAH vibe, and enjoy the racing.

Looks so much more fun than Gran Turismo 5. GT5 was one of those eh, I don't have many racing games and this is supposed to be the cream of the crop but didn't really have much fun with it (currently level 16 A-Spec, level 14 B-Spec). This, on the other hand, looks like something I would actually go back to and enjoy.

I really love that they're adding in more of the stuff from dirt 1.
 
I loved the ridiculous races from that game, like doing a rally race on a mountain pass.

Never was a fan for any racing games, until Dirt 2 came along around a week ago - stoked for Dirt 3, and i love that there is some random man running across the track around 1:00 :D

  • I'm STILL early in my Dirt 2 career (after 1 year of playing?) - cuz I play the early tracks AGAIN & AGAIN - soo much fun!
  • Recently, I finally bought F1 2010 - their Formula One game. Amazing car handling & accuracy on so many levels (but not for everyone, I guess) - they managed to have a real challenging SIM mode while letting lesser souls have fun with plenty of assists to finish & win races.
  • Dirt3 sounds and looks like it's going to be nothing but stellar. Codemasters know their stuff!! Watch the Ken Block Gymkhana videos on YouTube & compare them to the Dirt3 dev videos on Facebook!

When he mentioned the handling has been changed to include independent suspension I had a bit of a crisis. 
 
I want this to be good, I hope they reveal more about the online later.

Wow. Games don't usually give me headaches, but something about the motion blur and objects coming at the camera in this QL certainly did. I hope it won't be that way actually playing it.

Man I miss Rallisport Challenge 2 on xbox, that had some really good online racing.  This looks great.
 
I tried Dirt, but didn't really enjoy it, I got dirt2 for cheap a while ago but haven't opened it yet, maybe I'll try that out.

I like how they changed the format of the AMA to something more Happy Hour-like. Sort of flows better now.
