Codemasters has released the first in a series of DiRT 3 Q&A developer diaries for the sequel to 2009’s Colin McRae: DiRT 2. The developer diary features the first gameplay footage, taken from early pre-alpha code, and dishes all the ‘dirt’ on the content rich DiRT 3.
Viewers are taken behind the scenes of DiRT 3, as key development team members introduce the game, answer questions from fans and hone their real-world driving skills by racing Escort Mk IIs around the forests of Wales at the Phil Price Rally School.
The developer diary also reveals the first DiRT 3 gameplay footage, showing the iconic Audi Sport Quattro Rallye tearing through a forest stage at the new Finland rally location.
The video reveals the amount of rally content to feature in the game, with the discipline accounting for 60% of its extensive career mode. DiRT 3’s car list includes the current 2010 WRC Cars, the Ford Focus RS WRC and Citroen C4 WRC, and, for the first time in a videogame, will introduce the 2011 Ford Fiesta RS WRC.
In addition to the cars competing at the highest level of contemporary Rally, the extensive car list will star over 50 licensed off-road vehicles spanning 50 years of the sport, including classic racers like the Lancia Super Delta HF Integrale and the Mini Cooper S 1275.
With rally stages set across three continents, including the addition of all-new locations Finland, Kenya and Michigan, players will learn to master the conditions on tarmac, gravel and snow in the dry and the wet, for an authentic rally experience.
The Developer Q&A: Part 1 – Rally is the first in a planned series, each of which will focus on a different area of the game. Fans can submit questions for inclusion in future videos and keep up to date with the latest news, screens and videos straight from the studio by visiting www.facebook.com/dirt3game and http://www.twitter.com/dirt3game.
DiRT 3 is in development at Codemasters Studios for a Q2 2011 release for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.
