In the biggest, content-rich racer ever to roar out of Codemasters Studios, DiRT
3 is set to deliver action sports racing by the bucketful with more than
double the track content of DiRT 2 and three times the amount of
rally-specific content, including the best rally cars from the last 5 decades
of the sport. In DiRT 3, players start at the top as a professional action
sports driver, with a top-flight career in fiercely competitive off-road
racing and a sideline in incredible Gymkhana-style showpiece driving events.
As players race to elevate their global standing, DiRT 3 delivers mud, sweat
and gears the world over: from the intense weather-beaten rally stages of
Europe, Africa and the US, to executing performance driving showcases and career
challenges in a massive free-roaming environment.
As a race professional, players will compete against the new generation of
off-road superstars, including WRC competitor and Gymkhana star Ken Block and
reigning IRC champion Kris Meeke. With customisable driver aids and difficulty
settings, DiRT 3 is designed to be driven by all comers – from those who
need a helping hand to take the tightest corners to those that want to switch
off all support and drive a pure physics-based racer. The culmination of 15+
years experience in creating racing games, DiRT 3 features the most amount of
content and cars in a Codemasters game, integrated social network features,
and for the first time in the series, splitscreen racing. Developed using the
EGO Technology Platform, DiRT 3 will take action sports racing to the next
level, setting the new benchmark for stunning graphics, astonishing damage and
authentic handling. You’ll be amazed what you can do with a top-spec rally
car.
Features:
- Be a pro. DiRT 3 puts players in the racing boots of a professional
motorsports athlete. The beaten up RV of DiRT 2 is a thing of the past as
gamers compete against stars including Ken Block and Kris Meeke across a range
of racing and driving disciplines at spectacular locations across
the world.
- More, More, More! DiRT 3 boasts more cars, more locations, more routes and
more events than any other game in the DiRT series. There are now 100+ routes
in the game compared to DiRT 2’s 41. DiRT 3 offers the finest selection of
licensed action-sports racing cars available and the largest line up to feature
in any Codemasters racing game, including cars that represent 5 decades of
rallying from classics like the Mini Cooper and Audi Quattro to Ken
Block’s rally spec Ford Fiesta.
- Rally is back! After consulting fan-feedback, reviews and performing
exhaustive data mining, the standout event from DiRT 2, Rally, returns with
more than double the amount of content. Multi-stage rallies are set at classic
locations from the traditional rally heartland of Scandinavia to the jungles of
Kenya and the forests of Europe and the USA, taking players to the most
dramatic, inhospitable and exciting terrain on the planet where only the
most fearless drivers race.
- Express yourself with Gymkhana! The 15 million-plus YouTube phenomenon
pioneered by Ken Block now powerslides into to DiRT 3. Gamers can test their
car control to the very limit and drift, spin-dry and jump their way to stardom
in all new Gymkhana events. Set in specially created arenas packed with props,
players can practice their skills, chain together moves, complete challenges or
hang out online with friends in this spectacular videogame first.
- Let it snow. For the first time in the DiRT series, players will enjoy the
unique and exhilarating spectacle of racing on snow. A highly advanced
particle and physics model powers snow that builds up on the track, wheel tread
and the car as it falls more heavily throughout the race. As players drive they
will feel the change in the handling as the snow compacts at different rates
depending on your speed, angle and cornering. This highly-advanced and
best-in-class feature delivers truly jaw-dropping visual and
performance effects.
- Dynamic weather and day/night cycle. Building on the technology implemented
in F1 2010, DiRT 3 has a fully dynamic weather system that will dramatically
affect your racing experience and allows players to race at night, further
extending the replay value on DiRT 3’s 100+ routes.
- Party Modes and Split-screen. As well as extensive Online multiplayer
options for up to 8 players, DiRT 3 will introduce split-screen multiplayer
gaming allowing players to race against each other on the same TV. All
disciplines are available, including gymkhana, and are complimented by all new
Party Modes which will increase the pass the pad appeal of the game.
- Everyone’s invited. A full suite of race assists will make this the most
accessible DiRT game to date. From the novice on their game pad to the rally
purist using a wheel complete with clutch and gearbox, DiRT 3 has customisable
levels for every racing fan to easily find a competitive race.
- A Racing Studio game. The talent that brought the world Colin McRae DiRT,
The BAFTA Award winning Race Driver GRID™ and Colin McRae: DiRT 2(Metacritic:
87) is developing DiRT 3. Using the award winning EGO Technology Platform
known for its killer visuals, dynamic weather, flashback and damage system,
