UK developer Codemasters announced, and then suddenly released, their next title in the Dirt series (Dirt Rally) yesterday. Now you can check out four minutes of the game in action, courtesy of Gamespot. This footage was captured on a high-powered machine, so this is as good as the game can look at 1080p and 60 frames a second. Dirt Rally, in its current state, boasts 17 cars from the past 50 years and 36 tracks to race them on. It is available in beta form now on Steam Early Access for a little over thirty dollars, but any upgrades to the final version from that price entry point will be free for you. Feedback Codemasters gets from the beta will factor into the final product. According to Gamestop, Codemasters may consider bringing the title to consoles if the PC version gets enough demand. Dirt Rally will remain in beta stage through 2015. The post Four Minutes Of Gameplay From Dirt Rally appeared first on Racing Game Central. Continue reading...
The game does indeed look pretty good. I haven't enjoy the beta yet, but I'm looking forward to playing this one sometime in the near future.
Oh man, I'm a big rally racing fan. This looks like something I can get into easily. I first fell in love with ray racing back in the original Xbox rally car racing. Really looking forward to this one.
Judging from the video, I immediately thought that the game won't run on my kind-of-old machine, but looking into the minimum requirements, it seems that it would not be that much of a problem. For the lazy: Dirt Rally Minimum System Requirements OS: Windows Vista 64-bit CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4 GHz or AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5400+ 2.8 GHz RAM: 4 GB System Memory GPU: GeForce GT 430, Radeon HD 5450 1GB, or Intel HD 4000 GPU RAM: 1GB Video Memory HDD: 35GB Available Space DX: DirectX 11 Dirt Rally Recommended System Requirements OS: Windows 7 64-bit CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz or AMD FX-8150 3.6GHz RAM: 8 GB System Memory GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 or AMD Radeon R9 290
Interesting, it looks promising even though it's Early Access. And as someone linked the system requirement above I could even run it, which is surprising. I guess I'll wait and see how this turns out.
It's not quite as fully fleshed out as other Dirt games from what I've seen, but it's pretty good still. Not surprising that it's not as fleshed out, though, since it's still in Early Access and doesn't even cost full price. Definitely worth keeping an eye on this one.
I've honestly never gotten to play that much dirt rally racing games before but this one does look nice. As long as the cars handle well I think it can be a great game. One of my favorite things to do in these games is drift so they should get that right.
