E3 2007: DiRT 2 in the Works
Codemasters has let slip that Colin McRae DiRT 2 is already well into production and that the game will offer a greatly improved online mode. Speaking to IGN at E3, Matthew Horsman, DiRT’s chief game designer, said that the team has been listening to comments from gamers about what they did and didn’t like about the original game. "All the stuff people didn’t like about the first DiRT will be changed for DiRT 2," he explained, and then promised that "DiRT 2’s online mode will offer a much more embellished experience so everyone will be happy." Horsman also revealed that the team has been working with COG, the online arm of Codemasters, and that DiRT 2’s multiplayer game will ’be a big surprise’. Our money is on a fully-fledged multiplayer experience with multi-car races rather than DiRT’s online leaderboard system. More hard DiRT 2 info is thin on the ground as yet but we’ll be sure to bring you updates when we hear more. In the meantime, PlayStation 3 owners eager to get their hands on the first game will be pleased to know a PSN demo is in the pipeline and will be ready prior to the game’s September release. The demo will likely contain three tracks and three cars different to those in the Xbox 360 demo, which racked up a total of a million downloads.Source: http://www.ign.com
